Microphone Fiend(5:01)
By Eric B. and Rakim
Yo I was a fiend before I became a teen
I melted microphone instead of cones of ice cream
Music orientated so when hip hop was originated
Fitted like pieces of puzzles complicated
Cause I grabbed the mic and try to say yes y’all
They tried to take it and say that I’m too small
Cool cause I don’t get upset
I kick a hole in the speaker pull the plug then I jet
Back to the lab without a mic to grab
So then I add all the rhymes I had
One after another one then I make another one
To dis the opposite then ask if the brother’s done
I get a craving like I fiend for nicotine
But I don’t need a cigarette know what I mean
I’m ragin’ rippin’ up the stage and
Don’t it sound amazing cause every rhyme is made and
Thought of cause it’s sort of an addiction
Magnatized by the mixing

A smooth operator operating correctly
But back to the problem I gotta habit
You can’t solve it ya silly rabbit
The prescription is a hypertone that’s thorough when
I fiend for a microphone like herion
Soon as the bass kicks I need a fix
Gimme a stage and a mic and a mix
And I’ll put you in a mood or is it a state of unawareness
Beware it’s the reanamator
A menace to a microphone a lethal weapon
An assasinator if the people ain’t stepping
See a part of me that you never seen
When I’m fiending for a microphone
Cause I take it to the maximum
I can’t relax see
I’m hype as a hyperchrondriac
Cause the rap be one hell of an antidote
Something you can’t smoke
More than dope
You’re trying to move away but you can’t
You’re broke
More than cracked up
You should have backed up
For those who act up
Need to be more than smacked up
