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 the other one
Then I make another one
To dis the opposite then ask

I get a craving like I fiend for nicotine
But I don't need a cigarette
Know what I mean
I'm raging ripping up the stage and
Don't it sound amazing 'cause
Every rhyme is made and
Thought of 'cause it's sort of an addiction
Magnetized by the mixing
Vocals vocabulary your verses just stuck in
The mic is a Drano volcanoes erupting
Rhymes overflowing gradually growing
Everything is written in the cold
So it can coincide my thoughts to guide
Forty-eight tracks to slide
The invincible microphone fiend Rakim
Spread the word 'cause I'm in
E F F E C T a smooth
Operator operating correctly
But back to the problem I gotta habit
You can't solve it silly rabbit
The prescription is a hyper tone
That's thorough when
