Lyrical Analysis of...
Microphone Fiend Rakim
- 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 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 raging, ripping up the stage and
- Don't it sound amazing 'cause every rhyme is made and
- Thought of, Cuz it's sort of...an addiction,
- Magnatized by the mixing
- Vocals, vocabulary, your verses, you're stuck in
- The mic is a drano, volcanoes erupting,
- Rhymes overflowing, gradually growing
- Everything is written in the cold, so it can coin
- cide, my thoughts to guide,
- 48 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 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
- You see a part of me that you never seen
- When I'm fiending for a microphone, I'm the microphone fiend...
- [Verse 2:]
- After 12, I'm worse that a Gremlin
- Feed me Hip hop and I start trembling
- The thrill of suspense is intense, your horrified
- But this ain't the cinemas of "Tales From the Darkside",
- By any means neccesary, this is what has to be done
- Make way 'cause here I come....
- My DJ cuts material....
- Grand imperial.
- It's a must that I bust any mic you're hand to me,
- It's inherited, it's runs in the family
- I wrote the rhyme that broke the bull's back,
- If that don't slow 'em up, I carry a full pack.
- Now I don't want to have to let off, you should of kept off
- You didn't keep the stage warm, step off!
- Ladies and Gentleman, You're about to see
- A pasttime hobby about to be
- Take it to the maximum, I can't relax see, I'm
- Hype as a hyperchrondriac 'cause the rap be one
- Hell of a 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
- Any entertainer, I got a torture chamber
- One on one and I'm the remainder!
- So close your eyes and hold your breath,
- And I'm a hit'cha wit the blow of death
- Before you go, you'll remember you seen
- The fiend of a microphone, I'm the microphone fiend
