c-real - one mic [hiphop tribute to nas] lyrics

verse 1
[on a low tone]
all i need is one mic to ignite what i write
and bring light to your night so our sights may unite to a future that’s bright
the one thing i dislike is for one people to fight
we’re left alone fearing the one thing that’s actually right
we need to make one choice to be one voice
take one stance as one poise
i’m feeling like superman
i got one lois
one shot of kryptonite to end this life with one force
i’m feeling like i’m living like
i’m meant to have just one loss
i’m yet to blow but i still know that sh+t’s inevitable
i’m lurching on to every hope that’s known and never letting go
just one time with one beat and just one rhyme
it’ll all be worth it if i could just touch one mind
with one reason and one purpose i could easily be the one person the world needs but i’m unheard of
so i’m just making a change at a pace of one turtle
and i’m just taking this race at the height of one hurdle

[rap heightens]
i’m still a student of life so i’m still learning though
but i never understand why the government sells the minerals
every blessed sat+rday it’s blacks at the funeral
caskets pop open and it’s still blacks at the funeral
sometimes in my world i can say that there is nothing beautiful
that’s not something even you or anyone in your crew would know
just put your hands up in the air, reach into your hearts and believe
if we really wanna change
all i need is one mic!
d+mn!
yeah
haha
all i need is one mic
haha
gh forever
you can gimme one mic ?
and i’ll make it happen
haha
all i need is one mic

[on a low tone again ]
[verse 2]
yeah
look
all i need is one mic, one friend, one foe, one love, one whole, one sweet beginning and one end that no one knows
this is that one life
we living till we comatose
we need to go toe for toe until our hope takes control1
paid that one debt to life
we’ve all taken loans
tryna stack that dough while we k!lling time
taking souls
hear the tick+tock of every wrist watch
it’s just a kick start
for death to make a headshot with a thick glock
still have that one dream; i’m driving out the benz shop
pedal to the medal and i promise that it won’t stop
i wonder why one would want to die
when one could live so freely and fly till he touch the sky

[rap heightens again]
see we focus too much on what our problems be probably
i’m just talking out the part of my heart where my problems be
gh for life and you can swear that i’m proud to be
ain’t nothing that’s coming out my mouth that’s not a part of me
this is my life
victory, loss or tragedy
tryna be the best any man on this earth could be
learnt it all and you can f+ck all my d+mn degrees
cos what’s the worth of knowledge if i can’t be free?
huh?
cos all i want is one mic
f+cking need that sh+t!
haha!
all i need is one mic…

and imma say what’s on my mind

[verse 3]
yeah
politicians turned magicians make promises then trick us
curse us to this earth
they worse than the 3 sixes
they create the problems and they claim that they can fix it
i don’t know is it me? or is that really some sick sh+t
critics sit and wait for statistics to diss this
but this though gon be one of the illest verses to rip this
shout outs to nas from the g.o.d
to god’s son
looking for rappers like me son?
there are none!
i’m an anomaly
lyrical oddity
i keep saying this is who i am it’s not just a part of me
pardon me for the outburst in the last verse
i’m just tryna send a message like it’s my last verse
to ever write
so i can’t ever get it wrong
you want the light?
then follow me along the song
you know what i want to do
so all i need for you
haha
is just to gimme one mic!
yeah
africa
all i need is one mic
wherever you are
huh
all i need is one mic
somebody gotta gimme that mic
haha
all i need is one mic
em.ceo !
