Fiend lyrics

* covers and interpolates "Microphone Fiend" by Eric B. & Rakim



[JoJo]

Blow blow blow!The microphone fiend..

The microphone fiend.. the microphone fiend..



I was a fiend - the neighborhood called it a pipe dream

My early teens, meltin microphones like ice cream

My life scheme, I was starvin to make it

Wanna know how I pulled it off?COMPLICATED

See I grabbed the mic until the game sound sure

Frontin on the skintone, he said the kid ain`t raw

COOL - see I don`t get upset

I "Move the Crowd" without breakin a sweat, and I jet

(and I jet) back to the lab, to put the thoughts on pad

To steam a twenty bag and let the track drag

Punchlines accumulate; the engineers cue DATs

I hit the vocal booths, and it`s a wrap (and it`s a wrap)

Flee the scene in a big black truck, lookin mean

Caress the wheel with a cool scene lean, KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

(Know what I mean) Natural, do it off the top of the head

Got a famous mug, ladies wanna hop in the bed

Name spread quick like nasty rumors, MC`s get brain tumors

I`m Anthony Sr., they Jackie Jr.`s

It`s a great world and Violator is my team

Staten supreme, I`m the "Microphone Fiend"



{*Eric B. and Rakim original scratched in as the hook*



The invincible, microphone fiend Pellegrino

I make the stage glow, rhymes are like death blows

Strikin rappers pressure points, one at a time

I`m stealin your light; technically you runnin your shine

(you runnin your shine) Words connect like a shot to the chin

Remain cool as a breeze MC`s are "Gone With the Wind" and I`m in

E, F-F-E-C-T

The rap Frank Sinatra representin correctly (representin correctly)

Back to the problem - you see I live for the mic

Fiend daily plus I`m bingin at night

Dawg by any means necessary this is what has to be done

Make way, cause here I come

You see a part of me you never seen

When I`m fiendin for the microphone, I`m the "Microphone Fiend"

On the come up; slide the clips in to throw the guns up

Move dirty like a dumptruck

Chain swing like a numchuk, flow tighter than some lugnuts

Put my work in to max in the cut

Keep the great world spinnin and Violator is my team

Staten supreme, I`m the "Microphone Fiend"



{*Eric B. and Rakim scratched in*

[JoJo] The "Microphone Fiend"

{*Eric B. and Rakim scratched in*



It`s a must that I`ll bust any mic you hand to me

I kick a freestyle the people lose sanity

The envious wanna stick him and push his wig back

Negative - I carry a full pack (a full pack)

Now I don`t wanna have to let off, and take your head off

or boxcut some of your flesh off - STEP OFF (step off)

Ladies and gentlemen - what you`re about to see

A tank(?) kid finesse the rap game properly

Any MC or rhymer, nobody gets more liver

It`s my +Destiny, Child+ I`m a "Survivor"

Spit fire hotter than lava; battle me

that`s like playin Russian Roulette, with six in the revolver

Pretty boy but JoJo get ugly when he cramped in

Regardless of the fact the women love him with a passion (passion)

It`s a great world and Violator is my team

Staten supreme, I`m the "Microphone Fiend"



{*Eric B. and Rakim scratched in*

[JoJo] The "Microphone Fiend"

[JoJo] Yeah yeah, the "Microphone Fiend"



{*Eric B. and Rakim scratched in* {*beat fades*
