Lyrics for Song: One Mic
Lyrics for Album: Stillmatic
Turn my headphones up
Nothing's gonna stop me now
Nothing baby
I'm here now
We're here, it's your world
Yea,
Yow, all I need is one mic, one beat , one stage,
one person in front my face on the front page
only if I had one love, 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 151, 1 sip will probably make me flip
see my name in the harrow glifs, like a sires and nices parables
written in saw proparasites
acknowledge it, we've been all tricked time to come out of it
seeds watch us grow up and try to follow us
police watch us, roll up and try knocking us
one knee I ducked, could it be my times up
with my luck I got up, the cops shot again
bus stop glass bursts a fiend drops his Heineken
ricochetin between the spots that I'm hiding in
blacking out as I shoot back forget gettin hit
this is my hood Ima rep till the death of it
til everybody come home little brothers is grown
hood rats don't abortion your womb
we need more warriors soon
sent from the stars, sun, and the moon
and its like a police chase, street sweepers and coppers
sick of kids with no conscience leaving victims with doctors
if you really think you're ready to fly with my power
this is what Nas is bout, brothers the time is now
all I need is one mic
all I need is one mic [its all I need]
all I need is one mic [all I need]
all I need is one mic [yea]
all I need is one cup , one page, and one pen
one prayer, tell God to forgive me for 1 sin
matter fact maybe more then one
look back at all the hatred against me
touch all of them, Jesus died at age 33
that's 33 shots from twin glocks 16 a piece, that's 32
which means, one my of guns was holdin 17
27 hit your crew 6 went into you
everybody gotta die sometime
hope your funeral never get caught up
payed to go through the innocent
nothing is fair brothers roll up
shooting from wheel chairs my heart is racing
tasting revenge in the air
I let this shit slide for too many years
too many times now I'm strapped with a couple of mac'z
too many * if Y'all peoples really with me
get busy load up the semi'z
do more then just hold it explode the clip until you empty
there's nothing in our way
they bust we bust, they rust we rust
led flying, feel it? I feel it in my gut
now we take these to the war
Lie em down cause we stronger now
my peoples the time is now
all I need is one mic [it's all I need, its all I need]
all I need is one mic [it's nothing else in the world]
all I need is one mic [it's all a nigga need to do his thing you know]
all I need is one mic
all I need is one life, one try, one breath in one man
what I stand for speaks for itself
they don't understand don't wanna see me on top
too egotistical, talking all that slick stuff
Well my name is difficult
wonder what's my secrets is
enemys move only if they know what your weakness is
I have none, too late i'm mad now, i'm laughing
cause I�ma cool brother , thought I wouldn't have that ass done
fooled you brothers, what you call a infinite brawl
eternal souls clashing, war gets deep
some beef is everlasting, complete with thick scars
brothers knifing 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 killed
body found in the dumpster
for real a hustler purchased my range
peoples throwing dirt on my name
jealous cause fiends got their work and complain
Women 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
moving with the change of pace, a
lighter load, see now the king is straight
swelling my melon cause none of these brothers real
heard he was, telling police, how can a kingpin squeal
this is crazy I�m on the right track
I�m finally found you need some soul searching
the time is now
all I need is one mic [yea yea yea]
all I need is one mic [its all I ever needed in this world, cash]
all I need is one mic [the cars, jewelry]
all I need is one mic [spread my voice to the whole world]
