One time, yeah, yeah
Yo, all I need is one
mic, one beat, one stage
One n a front, my
face on the front page
Only if I had one gun,
one girl and one crib
One god to show me how
to do things his son did
Pure, like a cup of
virgin blood; mi ed with
151, one sip'll make a n a flip
Writing names on my hollow
tips, plotting s t
Mad violence who I'm gon'
body, this hood politics
Acknowledge it, leave
bodies chopped in garbage's
Seeds watch us, grow up
and try to follow us
Police watch us siren
roll up and try knocking us
One knee I ducked, could
it be my time is up
But my luck, I got up,
the cop shot again
Bus stop glass bursts, a
fiend drops his Heineken
Ricocheting between the
spots that I'm hiding in
Blacking out as I shoot back,
f ck getting hit! more sirens
This is my hood I'ma
rep, to the death of it
'til everybody come home,
little niggas 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
Stick up kids with no conscience,
leaving victims with doctors
If you really think you
ready to die, with nines out
This is what nas is bout,
n a 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 niggas
All I need is one mic, yeah
All I need is one blunt,
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, f ck all of them
Jesus died at age 33,
there's thirty three shots
From twin glocks there's si teen
apiece, that's thirty two
Which means, one of my
guns was holding 17
Twenty seven hit your
crew, si went into you
Everybody gotta die
sometime; hope your funeral
Never gets shot up, bullets
tear through the innocent
Nothing is fair, niggas roll
up, shooting from wheelchairs
My heart is racing,
tasting revenge in the air
I let the s t slide for too
many years, too many times
Now I'm strapped with a couple
of macs, too many nines
If y'all niggas really wit me
get busy load up the semis
Do more than just hold it
e plode the clip until you empty
There's nothing in our way, they
bust, we bust, they rust, we rust
Led flyin, feel it? I feel it in my gut
That we take these bitches
to war, lie 'em down
Cause we stronger now my
n a 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
nothing else in the world
All I need is one mic, that's all a
n a need to do his thing why'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 want to see me on
top, too egotistical
Talking all that slick shit,
the same way these bitches do
Wonder what my secrets
is, niggas'll move on you
Only if they know, what your
weakness is I have none
Too late to grab guns I'm
blasting cause I'm a cool n a
Thought I wouldn't have that
ass done? fooled you niggas
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, niggas throwing dirt on my name
Jealous cause fiends got
they work and complain
Bitches left me cause they
thought I was finished
Should of knew she wasn't true she came
to me when her man caught a sentence
Diamonds are blinding, I
never make the same mistakes
Moving with a change of pace, lighter
load, see now the king is straight
Swelling my melon cause
none of these niggas 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,
yeah, yeah yeah yeah
All I need is one mic, that's all I
ever needed in this world, f ck cash
All I need is one mic,
f ck the cars, the jewelry
All I need is one mic, to spread
my voice to the whole world
