Microphone Fiend[00:00:05]
Eric B & Rakim[00:00:07]
I was a fiend before I became a teen[00:00:20]
I melted microphone instead of cones of ice cream[00:00:23]
Music orientated so when hip hop was originated[00:00:25]
Fitted like pieces of puzzles complicated[00:00:28]
'Cause I grabbed the mic and try to say' yes y'all[00:00:29]
They tried to take it and say that I'm too small[00:00:32]
Cool 'cause I don't get upset[00:00:35]
I kick a hole in the speaker pull the plug then I jet[00:00:38]
Back to the lab without a mic to grab[00:00:41]
So then I add all the rhymes I had[00:00:44]
One after the other one' then I make another one[00:00:46]
To dis the opposite then ask if the brother's done[00:00:48]
I get a craving like I fiend for nicotine[00:00:51]
But I don't need a cigarette' know what I mean [00:00:54]
I'm raging' ripping up the stage and[00:00:56]
Don't it sound amazing[00:00:58]
'Cause every rhyme is made and[00:00:59]
Thought of' 'cause it's sort of an addiction[00:01:01]
Magnetized by the mixin[00:01:04]
Vocals' vocabulary' your verses' just stuck in[00:01:06]
The mic is a Drano' volcanoes erupting[00:01:09]
Rhymes overflowing' gradually growing[00:01:11]
Everything is written in the cold So it can coin'cide [00:01:14]
My thoughts to guide' forty-eight tracks to slide[00:01:17]
The invincible' microphone fiend Rakim[00:01:22]
Spread the word' 'cause I'm in[00:01:24]
E F F E C T' a smooth operator operating correctly[00:01:27]
But back to the problem' I gotta habit[00:01:31]
You can't solve it' silly rabbit[00:01:34]
The prescription is a hyper tone that's thorough when[00:01:36]
I fiend for a microphone like heroin[00:01:39]
Soon as the bass kicks' I need a fix[00:01:41]
Give me a stage and a mic and a mix[00:01:44]
And I'll put you in a mood[00:01:47]
Or is it a state of unawareness [00:01:49]
Beware' it's the reanamator[00:01:50]
A menace to a microphone' a lethal weapon[00:01:51]
An assasinator' if the people ain't stepping[00:01:55]
You see a part of me that you never seen[00:01:57]
When I'm fiending for a microphone' I'm the microphone fiend[00:02:00]
After twelve' I'm worse that a Gremlin[00:02:03]
Feed me Hip hop and I start trembling[00:02:05]
The thrill of suspense is intense' you're horrified[00:02:08]
But this ain't the cinemas of 'Tales From the Dark Side'[00:02:10]
By any means necessary' this is what has to be done[00:02:13]
Make way 'cause here I come' my DJ cuts material' grand imperial[00:02:15]
It's a must that I bust any mic you're hand to me[00:02:19]
It's inherited' it's runs in the family[00:02:26]
I wrote the rhyme that broke the bull's back[00:02:28]
If that don't slow 'em up' I carry a full pack[00:02:31]
Now I don't want to have to let off' you should of kept off[00:02:33]
You didn't keep the stage warm' step off[00:02:37]
Ladies and Gentleman' you're about to see[00:02:38]
A past time hobby about to be[00:02:41]
Take it to the maximum' I can't relax see[00:02:43]
I'm hype as a hyperchrondriac 'cause the rap be one[00:02:46]
Hell of a antidote' something you can't smoke[00:02:49]
More than d**e' you're trying to move away but you can't' you're broke[00:02:51]
More than cracked up' you should have backed up[00:02:54]
For those who act up need to be more than smacked up[00:02:55]
Any entertainer' I got a torture chamber[00:02:58]
One on one and I'm the remainder[00:03:00]
So close your eyes and hold your breath(breath)[00:03:04]
And I'm a hit'cha wit the blow of death(death)[00:03:06]
Before you go' you'll remember you seen[00:03:09]
The fiend of a microphone' I'm the microphone fiend[00:03:11]
The microphone fiend[00:03:14]
