One Mic Lyrics

One time, yeah, yeah
Yo, all I need is one mic, one beat, one stage One **** front, my face on the front page Only if I had one ***, one girl and one crib One God to show me how to do things his son did
Pure, like a cup of virgin blood, mixed with One fifty-one, one sip'll make a **** flip Writin' names on my ****** ****, plottin' **** Mad violence, who I'm gon' ****, this hood politics
Ackowledge it, leave bodies ******* in garbages Seeds watch us, grow up and try to follow us Police watch us roll up and try knockin' us One knee I ducked, could it be my time is up
But my luck, I got up, the cop **** again Bus stop glass bursts, a fiend drops his Heineken Richochetin' between the spots that I'm hidin' in Blackin' out as I ***** back, **** gettin' hit
This is my hood I'ma rep, to the death of it 'Til everybody come home, little ****** is grown Hoodrats, don't abortion your womb, we need more warriors soon Sip from the star, sun and the moon
In this life of police chases, street sweepers and coppers ***** ** kids with no conscience, leavin' victims with doctors If you really think you ready to die, with ***** out This is what nas is 'bout, ***** the time is now
Yo, all I need is one mic All I need is one mic, that's all I need All I need is one mic, all I need ***** All I need is one mic, yeah
All I need is one ****, one page and one pen One prayer, tell God, forgive for one sin Matter fact maybe more than one, look back At all the hatred against me, **** alla them
Jesus died at age thirty-three, there's thirty-three ***** From twin ***** there's sixteen a piece, that's thirty-two Which means, one of my **** was holdin seventeen Twenty-seven hit your crew, six went into you
Everybody gotta die sometime, hope your funeral Never gets **** up, ******* tear through the innocent Nothin' is fair, ****** roll up, ******* from wheelchairs My heart is racin', tastin' revenge in the air
I let the **** slide for too many years, too many times Now I'm strapped with a couple of ****, too many ***** If y'all ****** really wit me get busy, load up the ***** Do more than just hold it, explode the **** until you empty
There's nothin' in our way, they bust, we bust, they rust, we rust **** flyin', feel it? I feel it in my gut That we take these ****** to war, lie 'em down 'Cause we stronger now, my ***** the time is now
All I need is one mic, that's all I need, that's all I need All I need is one mic, there's nuttin else in the world All I need is one mic, that's all a ***** need to do his thing, y'know All I need is one mic
All I need is one life, one try, one breath, I'm one man What I stand for speaks for itself, they don't understand Or wanna see me on top, too egotistical Talkin' all that slick ****, the same way these ****** do
Wonder what my secrets is, ******** move on you Only if they know, what your weakness is, I have none Too late to grab **** I'm ****** 'cause I'm a cool ***** Thought I wouldn't have that *** done? Fooled you ******
What you call a infinite brawl, eternal souls clashin War gets deep, some beef is everlastin' Complete with thick scars, brothers ****** each other Up in prison yards, drama, where does it start?
You know the block was ill as a youngster Every night it was like a, cop would get ****** Body found in the dumpster For real a hustler, purchased my Range, ****** throwin' dirt on my name Jealous 'cause fiends got they work and complain
******* left me 'cause they thought I was finished Shoulda knew she wasn't true, she came to me When her man caught a sentence Diamonds are blindin', I never make the same mistakes Movin' with a change of pace, lighter load, see now, the king is straight
Swellin' my melon 'cause none of these ******* real Heard he was, tellin' police, how can a kingpin squeal? This is crazy, I'm on the right track, I'm finally found You need some soul searchin', the time is now
All I need is one mic, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah All I need is one mic, that's all I ever needed in this world, **** cash All I need is one mic, **** the cars, the jewelry All I need is one mic to spread my voice to the whole world, baby
