Song: One Mic |
| [00:03.99] |
|
| [00:04.41] |
|
| [00:07.46] |
One time.. yeah.. yeah.. |
| [00:10.55] |
|
| [00:14.62] |
Yo, all I need is one mic, one beat, one stage |
| [00:17.49] |
One nigga front, my face on the front page |
| [00:20.04] |
Only if I had one gun, one girl and one crib |
| [00:22.94] |
One God to show me how to do things his son did |
| [00:25.46] |
Pure, like a cup of virgin blood; mixed with |
| [00:28.13] |
151, one sip'll make a nigga flip |
| [00:31.21] |
Writin names on my hollow tips, plottin shit |
| [00:33.81] |
Mad violence who I'm gon' body, this hood politics |
| [00:36.25] |
Ackowledge it, leave bodies chopped up in garbages |
| [00:38.78] |
Seeds watch us, grow up and try to follow us |
| [00:41.23] |
|
| [00:43.97] |
One knee I ducked, could it be my time is up |
| [00:46.91] |
But my luck, I got up, the cop shot again |
| [00:49.15] |
Bus stop glass bursts, a fiend drops his Heineken |
| [00:52.01] |
Richochetin between the spots that I'm hidin in |
| [00:54.69] |
|
| [00:57.43] |
This is my hood I'ma rep, to the death of it |
| [01:00.18] |
'til everybody come home, little niggaz is grown |
| [01:02.13] |
Hoodrats, don't abortion your womb, we need more warriors soon |
| [01:05.51] |
Sent from the star sun and the moon |
| [01:07.40] |
In this life of police chases street sweepers and coppers |
| [01:10.03] |
Stick-up kids with no conscience, leavin victims with doctors |
| [01:12.58] |
IF YOU REALLY THINK YOU READY TO DIE, WITH NINES OUT |
| [01:15.08] |
THIS IS WHAT NAS IS BOUT, NIGGA THE TIME IS NOW! |
| [01:16.51] |
|
| [01:17.58] |
Yo, all I need is one mic.. |
| [01:21.38] |
All I need is one mic.. that's all I need |
| [01:28.14] |
All I need is one mic.. all I need niggaz |
| [01:33.42] |
All I need is one mic.. yeah |
| [01:34.75] |
|
| [01:38.54] |
All I need is one blunt, one page, and one pen |
| [01:41.18] |
One prayer - tell God forgive me for one sin |
| [01:44.22] |
Matter fact maybe more than one, look back |
| [01:46.72] |
at all the hatred against me, fuck alla them |
| [01:49.24] |
Jesus died at age 33, there's thirty-three shots |
| [01:52.13] |
from twin glocks there's sixteen apiece, that's thirty-two |
| [01:54.70] |
Which means, one of my guns was holdin 17 |
| [01:57.18] |
Twenty-seven hit your crew, six went into you |
| [01:59.55] |
Everybody gotta die sometime; hope your funeral |
| [02:02.56] |
never gets shot up, bullets tear through the innocent |
| [02:05.14] |
Nothin is fair, niggaz roll up, shootin from wheelchairs |
| [02:07.80] |
My heart is racin, tastin revenge in the air |
| [02:09.95] |
I let the shit slide for too many years, too many times |
| [02:12.47] |
Now I'm strapped with a couple of macs, too many nines |
| [02:15.48] |
If y'all niggaz really wit me get busy load up the semis |
| [02:18.13] |
Do more than just hold it explode the clip until you empty |
| [02:20.60] |
There's nothin in our way - they bust, we bust, they rust, we rust |
| [02:24.02] |
Led flyin, feel it? I feel it in my gut |
| [02:26.32] |
THAT WE TAKE THESE BITCHES TO WAR, LIE 'EM DOWN |
| [02:28.66] |
CAUSE WE STRONGER NOW MY NIGGA THE TIME IS NOW!! |
| [02:31.09] |
|
| [02:31.79] |
All I need is one mic.. that's all I need, that's all I need |
| [02:36.83] |
All I need is one mic.. there's nuttin else in the world |
| [02:41.50] |
All I need is one mic.. that's all a nigga need to do his thing y'know |
| [02:46.67] |
All I need is one mic.. |
| [02:49.95] |
|
| [02:50.62] |
ALL I NEED IS ONE LIFE, ONE TRY, ONE BREATH I'M ONE MAN |
| [02:55.13] |
WHAT I STAND FOR SPEAKS FOR ITSELF, THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND |
| [02:58.07] |
Or wanna see me on top, too egotistical |
| [03:00.22] |
Talkin all that slick shit, the same way these bitches do |
| [03:02.99] |
Wonder what my secrets is, niggaz'll move on you |
| [03:05.64] |
only if they know, what your weakness is I have none |
| [03:07.76] |
Too late to grab guns I'm blastin cause I'm a cool nigga |
| [03:10.55] |
Thought I wouldn't have that ass done? Fooled you niggaz |
| [03:13.10] |
What you call a infinite brawl, eternal souls clashin |
| [03:15.73] |
War gets deep, some beef is everlastin |
| [03:18.50] |
Complete with thick scars, brothers knifin each other |
| [03:20.99] |
up in prison yards, drama, where does it start? |
| [03:23.52] |
You know the block was ill as a youngster |
| [03:25.78] |
Every night it was like a, cop would get killed body found in the dumpster |
| [03:28.88] |
For real a hustler, purchased my Range, niggaz throwin dirt on my name |
| [03:31.88] |
Jealous cause fiends got they work and complain |
| [03:34.02] |
Bitches left me cause they thought I was finished |
| [03:35.92] |
Shoulda knew she wasn't true she came to me when her man caught a sentence |
| [03:39.17] |
Diamonds are blindin, I never make the same mistakes |
| [03:41.64] |
Movin with a change of pace, lighter load, see now the king is straight |
| [03:44.92] |
Swellin my melon cause none of these niggaz real |
| [03:47.12] |
Heard he was, tellin police, how can a kingpin squeal? |
| [03:49.61] |
This is crazy, I'm on the right track I'm finally found |
| [03:52.95] |
You need some soul searchin, the time is now |
| [03:54.80] |
|
| [03:55.48] |
All I need is one mic.. yeah, yeah yeah yeah |
| [04:00.09] |
All I need is one mic.. that's all I ever needed in this world, fuck cash |
| [04:05.22] |
All I need is one mic.. fuck the cars, the jewelry |
| [04:10.42] |
All I need is one mic.. to spread my voice to the whole world |
