[00:20.51] I was a fiend before I became a teen
[00:23.20] I melted microphone instead of cones of ice cream
[00:25.70] Music orientated so when hip hop was originated
[00:28.01] Fitted like pieces of puzzles complicated
[00:29.78] 'Cause I grabbed the mic and try to say' yes y'all
[00:32.39] They tried to take it and say that I'm too small
[00:35.59] Cool 'cause I don't get upset
[00:38.15] I kick a hole in the speaker pull the plug then I jet
[00:41.52] Back to the lab without a mic to grab
[00:44.08] So then I add all the rhymes I had
[00:46.32] One after the other one' then I make another one
[00:48.82] To dis the opposite then ask if the brother's done
[00:51.26] I get a craving like I fiend for nicotine
[00:54.07] But I don't need a cigarette' know what I mean
[00:56.32] I'm raging' ripping up the stage and
[00:58.31] Don't it sound amazing
[00:59.37] 'Cause every rhyme is made and
[01:01.93] Thought of' 'cause it's sort of an addiction
[01:04.49] Magnetized by the mixin
[01:06.17] Vocals' vocabulary' your verses' just stuck in
[01:09.04] The mic is a Drano' volcanoes erupting
[01:11.67] Rhymes overflowing' gradually growing
[01:14.22] Everything is written in the cold So it can coin'cide
[01:17.86] My thoughts to guide' forty-eight tracks to slide
[01:22.07] The invincible' microphone fiend Rakim
[01:24.57] Spread the word' 'cause I'm in
[01:27.13] E F F E C T' a smooth operator operating correctly
[01:31.50] But back to the problem' I gotta habit
[01:34.69] You can't solve it' silly rabbit
[01:36.47] The prescription is a hyper tone that's thorough when
[01:39.98] I fiend for a microphone like heroin
[01:41.49] Soon as the bass kicks' I need a fix
[01:44.22] Give me a stage and a mic and a mix
[01:47.22] And I'll put you in a mood
[01:49.15] Or is it a state of unawareness
[01:50.86] Beware' it's the reanamator
[01:51.93] A menace to a microphone' a lethal weapon
[01:55.06] An assasinator' if the people ain't stepping
[01:57.55] You see a part of me that you never seen
[02:00.05] When I'm fiending for a microphone' I'm the microphone fiend
[02:03.66] After twelve' I'm worse that a Gremlin
[02:05.79] Feed me Hip hop and I start trembling
[02:08.03] The thrill of suspense is intense' you're horrified
[02:10.41] But this ain't the cinemas of 'Tales From the Dark Side'
[02:13.21] By any means necessary' this is what has to be done
[02:15.84] Make way 'cause here I come' my DJ cuts material' grand imperial
[02:19.14] It's a must that I bust any mic you're hand to me
[02:26.33] It's inherited' it's runs in the family
[02:28.45] I wrote the rhyme that broke the bull's back
[02:31.19] If that don't slow 'em up' I carry a full pack
[02:33.81] Now I don't want to have to let off' you should of kept off
[02:37.00] You didn't keep the stage warm' step off
[02:38.71] Ladies and Gentleman' you're about to see
[02:41.39] A past time hobby about to be
[02:43.76] Take it to the maximum' I can't relax see
[02:46.32] I'm hype as a hyperchrondriac 'cause the rap be one
[02:49.39] Hell of a antidote' something you can't smoke
[02:51.94] More than dope' you're trying to move away but you can't' you're broke
[02:54.09] More than cracked up' you should have backed up
[02:55.84] For those who act up need to be more than smacked up
[02:58.71] Any entertainer' I got a torture chamber
[03:00.40] One on one and I'm the remainder
[03:03.62]
[03:04.49] So close your eyes and hold your breath(breath)
[03:06.62] And I'm a hit'cha wit the blow of death(death)
[03:09.04] Before you go' you'll remember you seen
[03:11.42] The fiend of a microphone' I'm the microphone fiend
[03:14.72] The microphone fiend
