* 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
