Katy Teasdale - Microphone Fiend lyrics

[Note: cover of Eric B. & Rakim's "Microphone Fiend" with changes] [Zach de la Rocha] 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 Shot 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 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 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.. [Hook] E-F-F-E-C-T, a smooth operator operating correctly An E-F-F-E-C-T, a smooth operator operating correctly E-F-F-E-C-T, a smooth operator operating correctly An E-F-F-E-C-T , a smooth operator operating correctly ..But back to the problem, I gotta habit You can't solve it, you silly rabbit The prescription is a hypertone that's thorough when - I fiend for a microphone like h**n Soon as the ba** 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 a**asinator, if the people ain't stepping You see a part of me that you never seen When I'm fiendin' 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 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! [Hook] E-F-F-E-C-T, a smooth operator operating correctly An E-F-F-E-C-T, a smooth operator operating correctly E-F-F-E-C-T, a smooth operator operating correctly An E-F-F-E-C-T , a smooth operator operating correctly A smooth operator operating correctly!
