Nas - One Mic (Explicit)

Yo, all I need is one mic,
one beat, one stage One nigga 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 mixed with
151, one sip'll make a nigga flip
Writin names on my hollow tips, plottin shit
Mad violence who
I'm gon' body, this hood politics

Ackowledge it,
leave bodies chopped up 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 shot again
Bus stop glass bursts,
a fiend drops his Heineken
Richochetin between the
spots that I'm hidin in
Blackin out as I shoot back, f
uck gettin hit!

This is my hood I'ma rep, to the death of it
'til everybody come home,
little niggaz is grown
Hoodrats, don't abortion your womb,
we need more warriors soon
Sent from the star sun and the moon
In this life of police chases
street sweepers and coppers
Stick-up kids with no conscience,
leavin victims with doctors
IF YOU REALLY THINK
YOU READY TO DIE, WITH NINES OUT
THIS IS WHAT NAS IS BOUT,
NIGGA 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 niggaz
All I need is one mic.. yeah

All I need is one blunt,
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, fuck alla them

Jesus died at age 33,
there's thirty-three shots
from twin glocks there's sixteen apiece,
that's thirty-two
Which means, one of my guns was holdin 17
Twenty-seven hit your crew, six went into you

Everybody gotta die sometime;
hope your funeral
never gets shot up,
bullets tear through the innocent
Nothin is fair, niggaz roll up,
shootin from wheelchairs
My heart is racin,
tastin revenge in the air

I let the shit slide for too many years,
too many times
Now I'm strapped with a couple of macs,
too many nines
If y'all niggaz really wit me
get busy load up the semis
Do more than just hold it explode
the clip until you empty

There's nothin 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 NIGGA 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 nigga 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 shit,
the same way these bitches do

Wonder what my secrets is,
niggaz'll move on you only if they know,
what your weakness is I have none
Too late to grab guns
I'm blastin cause I'm a cool nigga
Thought I wouldn't have that ass done?
Fooled you niggaz

What you call a infinite brawl,
eternal souls clashin
War gets deep, some beef is everlastin
Complete with thick scars,
brothers knifin 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,
niggaz throwin dirt on my name
Jealous cause fiends got
they work and complain

Bitches 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 niggaz 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, fuck cash
All I need is one mic..
fuck the cars, the jewelry
All I need is one mic..
to spread my voice to the whole world -
Yo, all I need is one mic,
