Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
Yo, all I need is [Am]one mic, one beat, one stage
One nigga [G]front, my face on the front page
Only if I [F]had one gun, one girl and one crib
One [G]God to show me
how to do things his son did
[Am]Pure, like a cup of virgin blood, mixed with
[G]151, one sip'll make a nigga flip
[F]Writin' names on my hollow tips, plottin' shit
[G]Mad violence who I'm gon' body,
this hood politics
Ac[Am]knowledge it,
leave bodies chopped in garbage's
[G]Seeds watch us, grow up and try to follow us
Po[F]lice watch us, roll up and try knockin' us
[G]One knee I ducked, could it be my time is up
But [Am]my luck, I got up, the cop shot again
[G]Bus stop glass bursts,
a fiend drops his Heineken
[F]Richochetin' between the spots
that I'm hidin' in
[G]Blackin' out as I shoot back,
fuck gettin' hit
[Am]This is my hood, I'ma rep to the death of it
'Til [G]everybody come home,
little niggas is grown
[F]Hoodrats, don't abortion your womb,
we need more [G]warriors soon
Sent from the star, sun and the moon
In this life [Am]of police chases,
street sweepers and coppers
Stick-up [G]kids with no conscience,
leavin' victims with doctors
If you [F]really think you ready to die with 9s out
This is [G]what Nas is 'bout,
nigga, the time is now

[Chorus 1]
All I need is [Am]one [G]mic
All I need is [F]one [G]mic
All I need is [Am]one [G]mic
All I need is [F]one [G]mic

[Verse 2]
All I need is [Am]one blunt, one page, and one pen
One [G]prayer, tell God forgive me for one sin
Matter of [F]fact, maybe more than one,
look back
At all the [G]hatred against me, fuck all of them
Jesus [Am]died at age 33,
there's thirty-three shots
From [G]twin Glocks there's sixteen apiece,
that's thirty-two
Which [F]means, one of my guns was holdin' 17
Twenty- [G]seven hit your crew,
six went into you
Every[Am]body gotta die sometime,
hope your funeral
[G]Never gets shot up,
bullets tear through the innocent
Noth[F]ing is fair, niggas roll up,
shootin' from wheelchairs
My [G]heart is racin', tastin' revenge in the air
I let the [Am]shit slide for too many years,
too many times
Now I'm [G]strapped with a couple of MACs,
too many 9s
If y'all [F]niggas really with me,
get busy, load up the semis
Do [G]more than just hold it,
explode the clip until you empty
There's [Am]nothin' in our way,
they bust, we bust, they rush, we [G]rush
Lead flyin', feel it?
I feel it in my gut
[F]That we take these bitches to war,
lie 'em down
'Cause we [G]stronger now,
my nigga, the time is now

[Chorus 2]
All I need is [Am]one [G]mic
All I need is [F]one [G]mic
All I need is [Am]one [G]mic
All I need is [F]one [G]mic

[Verse 3]
All I need is [Am]one life, one try, one breath,
I'm one man
[G]What I stand for speaks for itself,
they don't under[F]stand
Or wanna see me on top,
too egotistical
[G]Talkin' all that slick shit
the same way these bitches do
[Am]Wonder what my secrets is,
niggas'll move on you
[G]Only if they know what your weakness is,
I have none
Too [F]late to grab guns,
I'm blastin' 'cause I'm a cool nigga
[G]Thought I wouldn't have that ass done?
Fooled you niggas
What you [Am]call a infinite brawl,
eternal souls clashin'
[G]War gets deep, some beef is everlastin'
Com[F]plete with thick scars,
brothers knifin' each other
Up in [G]prison yards, drama,
where does it start?
You know the [Am]block was ill as a youngster
Every night it was like a
[G]cop would get killed,
body found in the dumpster
For real a [F]hustler, purchased my Range,
niggas throwin' dirt on my name
[G]Jealous 'cause fiends got
they work and complain
Bitches [Am]left me 'cause they thought
I was finished
Shoulda knew she wasn't [G]true,
she came to me
when her man caught a sentence
Diamonds are [F]blindin',
I never make the same mistakes
Movin' with a [G]change of pace, lighter load,
see now the king is straight
[Am]Swellin' my melon
'cause none of these niggas real
Heard he was
[G]tellin' police, how can a kingpin squeal?
This is [F]crazy, I'm on the right track,
I'm finally found
You [G]need some soul searchin',
the time is now

[Chorus 3]
All I need is [Am]one [G]mic
All I need is [F]one [G]mic
All I need is [Am]one [G]mic
All I need is [F]one [G]mic
[Am][G][F][G]
[Fade out]
