Yo, this sh** is so addicting, you heard?
I'm in recovery right now
Been in recovery for about 30 minutes
f** that recovery sh**
Yo Preem, let's get high
[Intro: Shabeeno]
I've been an addict since the Microphone Fiend got me high
I had no defense, I ain't been sober since
It got it bad, the monkey on my back got the shakes
Make no mistakes, I need drums and breaks
A ba**line I can ride on, get my high on
Gangster lean, I'm who the world got their eyes on
Mr. Relapse, be spitting raps to the youth
I know I'm the truth, I hold meetings in the booth
Like Bishop on the roof, I'm a falling star
I ain't learned 12 steps, keep 16 bars
[?] on the chase, dog, I can't slow down
I'm in the mix, I need my fix, and my flow got bounce
Ten Crack Commandments, I ain't reached five
Cause your boy stay high on his own supply
The rap sh**'s addictive, I can't let go
Think I'm going back to rehab, no, no, no
[Hook: Scratches by DJ Premier]
"I'm just an addict, addicted to music"
"I gotta use it"
"Most notable, hip-hop quotable"
"Get biz on the mic like back in the days"
"I'm just an addict, addicted to music"
"I gotta use it"
"Most notable, hip-hop quotable"
"Get biz on the mic"
[Verse 2: Lil Fame]
I step inside of the booth mega hard
I'm like Cool J [?]
Premier's beats is mushrooms, dog
My mic check, one, two, get me higher than dust do
Just a hip-hop junky, since back in the day
n***a [?], hip-hop in my veins
Hanging out with the older dudes getting drunk off Bacardi
sh**, I f** around and steal a speaker out the party
Follow the leader that's criminal minded
Hard to earn, strictly business on the road to the riches
America's most wanted, n***a, too chubby to breakdance
Posted up in the G-boy stance
This is that old Brownsville [?]
[?] no plastic
I'm cla**ic for you ba*tards that want the raw dog
Put your money through the hole, my n***a, co*k and go
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Blaq Poet]
I got a rap addiction, you wouldn't believe
I need that sh**, that's why I f** with Preem
Been a fiend since Run-DMC's Adidas
Before Rakim kicked over the speakers
Y'all don't really know how bad I need it
I stay OD'ing, I'm undefeated
Back in the days, sh** was serious
Treacherous Three, Flash with the Furious
Five n***as, Fearless Four was my n***as
Cold Crush and Crash Crew kept me high, n***a
I was rocking it on the school bus
Beating on the table, getting my fix at lunch
I don't really know but somebody said
This sh** was dead, they need a dose for their head
Just listen to me cause I rhyme harder
I leave you like Pookie, smoked out in the Carter
[Hook]
