Текст песни One Mic - The Hit Crew

Turn my headphones up
Nun gonna stop me now
Nun baby
I'm here now
We're here, it's your world
Yeah, yo

All I need is one mic, one beat, one stage
One person frontin' my face on the front page
Only if I had one love, one girl and one crib
One guy to show me how to do things his son did
Pure, like a cup of virgin blood
Mixed with 151, one sip'll probably make me flip
Seen my name in the hieroglyphs like Osiridenisis
Parables written inside papyruses
Acknowledge it, we been known trick time to come out of it
Seeds watch us grow up and try to follow us
Police watch us, roll up and try knockin' 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
Ricocheting between the spots that I'm hidin' in
Blackin' out as I duck back, forget gettin' hit
This is my hood, I'ma rap 'til the death of it
'Til everybody come home, little brothers is grown
Hood rats, don't abortion your womb
We need more warriors soon, set from the stars, sun and the moon
In this life of police chases, street sweepers and coppers
Stick up kids with no conscience, even victims of doctors
If you really think you ready to fly with my power
This is what Nas is about, brothers, the time is now

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 cup, 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
Touch all of them, Jesus died at age thirty-three
There's thirty-three between the sixteen apiece, that's thirty-two
Which means one of my thumbs was holdin' seventeen
Twenty-seven hit your crew, six went into you
Everybody gotta die sometime, hope your funeral
Never get caught up, pain'll go through the innocent
Nothin' is fair, brothers roll up from wheelchairs
My heart is racin', tastin' revenge in the air
I let this all slide for too many years, too many times
Now I'm strapped with a couple of too many
If you people really with me, get busy, load up the
Do more than just hold it, explode the until you're empty
There's nothin' in our way, they bust, we bust, they rust, we rust
Flyin', feel it, I feel it in my gut
That we take these dudes to war, fly 'em down
'Cause we're stronger now, my peoples, 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 nothin' easier in the world
All I need is one mic
That's all a brother need to do his thing, you know
All I need is one mic
Word

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 stuff, well, my name is biblical
Wonder what my secrets is, enemies move for you
Only if they know what your weakness is, I have none
Too late, I'm mad and I'm laughin' 'cause I'm a cool brother
Thought I wouldn't have that son, fool, brother
What you call an infinite brawl, eternal souls clashin'
More gets deep, some beef is everlastin'
Complete with thick scars, brothers knifin' each other
Up in prison yards, drama, when does it start?
You know the block was ill as a youngster
Every night it was like I would get killed, body found in the dumpster
For real, a hustler, purchased my Range
People throwin' dirt on my name
Just 'cause fiends got they work and complained
Women left me 'cause they thought I was finished
Should've 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
Light the load, see now the king is straight
Swellin' my melon 'cause none of these brothers 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
That's all I ever need in this world, okay
All I need is one mic
Cars, jewelry, uh
All I need is one mic
Spread my voice to the whole world, whole world, baby
All I need is one mic
