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 gun one girl and one crib one
God to show me how to do the things his son did
Pure like a cup of virgin blood
mixed with 151 one sip will make a flip
Writing names on my hollow tips plottin' mad violence
who I'm gon' body
This hood politics acknowledge it
Leave bodies chopped up in garbages
Seeds watch us grow up and try to follow us
Police watch us roll up and try knocking us
One knee I duck could it be my time is up
But my luck I got up the cop shot again
Bus stop glass burst a fiend drops his Heineken
Richochetin' between the spots that I'm hiding in blacking out
as I shoot back getting hit
This is my hood I'ma rep it to the death of it
til everybody come home little is grown
Hoodrats don't abortion your womb we need more warriors soon sent
from the stars 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 about
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 me for one sin matter fact maybe more than one
Look back at all the hatred against me ...all of them
Jesus died at age 33
That's 33 shots from twin glocks there's 16 a piece
that's 32 which means one of my guns
was holding 17 27 hit your crew six went into you
Everybody gotta die sometime hope your funeral never get shot up
Bullets tear through the innocent nothing is fair
Roll up shootin' from wheelchairs
My heart is racing tastin' revenge in the air
I let slide for too many years
Too many times now
I'm strapped with a couple of
Macs too many 9s
If y'all really with me get busy load up the semis
Do more than just hold it explode the clip until you're empty
There's nothing in our way
they bust we bust they rust we rust lead 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 nothing 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 guns I'm blasting
'cause I'm a cool
Thought I wouldn't have that down
Fooled you
What you call an 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 purchase 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 blinding I never make the same mistake
moving 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 searching the time is
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
