Berto and the Fiend (Skit) Lyrics

[Intro]
This is a story of Berto and the Fiend
Told to us by the Ghostface Killah

[Skit: Ghostface Killah]
Word, I remember the fiend, I remember the fiend fucked Berto up
The fiend is fuckin' Berto up
I had to jump in there like, "Yo, chill!"
He tried to beat the nigga for his 35 dollars
But the fiend was on some slim Bruce Lee shit
Yeah, his sneakers was tied tight
That's how you knew niggas fight, 'cause they was tight
All the sudden that nigga slammed Berto like, *exclaims*
He had him on the floor
He was like, "Yo, yo, get him off me!"
You know what I'm sayin'
Had to get the nigga off him and shit
Let him pound on him for like two seconds or whatever
Got the fiend off him

[Outro]
Where are you going?
I'm wasting no time—gonna kill—

Ghostface Killah tells us the story of “Berto and the Fiend.” A fiend is beating Berto—a presumed drug dealer—up for “like 35 dollars.”

This isn’t the first time Ghost made a skit about drug fiends. In his skit, “Woodrow The Basehead,” a local fiend comes to Ghost’s place trying to get his fix. As the skit progresses, Woodrow becomes insubordinate and starts to disrespect Ghost and his property. Ghost then has to force Woodrow to leave.
