Karaoké One Mic Nas

One time

Yeah

Yeah

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 One-Fifty-One

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

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 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 burst

A fiend drops his Heineken

Ricochetin' between the spots that I'm hidin' in

Blackin' out as I shoot back

Fuck gettin' hit

This is my hood

Imma rep to the death of it

'Till everybody come home

Little niggas is grown, hood rats

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

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 niggas

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 of fact maybe more than one

Look back at all the hatred against me

Fuck all of them

Jesus died at age thirty-three

There's thirty-three shots from twin Glocks

There's sixteen a piece

That's thirty-two which means one of my guns was holdin' seventeen

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, niggas roll up

Shootin' from wheelchairs

My heart is racin'

Tastin' revenge in the air

I let this shit 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 with 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 rush, we rush

Lead flyin', feel it

I feel it in my gut that we take these bitches to war

Lie 'em down

'Cos we stronger now my nigga

The time is now

All I need is one mic

That's all I need nigga

That's all I need

All I need is one mic

There's nothin' else in the world

All I need is one mic

That's all a nigga need to do his thing you know

All I need is one mic

This is all I need, it's all I need

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

Don't wanna see me on top

Too egotistical

Talkin' 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 blastin' 'cos I'm a cool nigga

Thought I wouldn't have that ass done

Fooled you niggas

What you call an 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'll get killed

Body found in the dumpster

For real a hustler

Purchased my Range

Niggas throwin' dirt on my name

Jealous 'cos fiends got they work and complain

Bitches left me 'cos 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 'cos none of these niggas real

Heard they were 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

Yeah

It's all I ever needed in this world

Fuck cash

All I need is one mic

Uh fuck cars

The jewelry uh huh

All I need is one mic

Spread my voice to the whole world

The whole world baby

Uh
