One Time 4 Your Mind Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Yeah, it's illma[E]tic
[Am](yeah)
It's illmatic (yeah)
It's illmatic, huh
(Huh, [G]check [Am]it)
(One time for your [E]mind, [Am]one time) Yeah,

[Verse 2]
whatever
(One time for your mind,
one time)
Yo, whatever
(One time for your mind, one time)
Ayo, Nas (what up,
Paul?) Kick that fuckin' rhyme

[Verse 3]
Check [Am]it out
When I'm chilling, I grab the Buddha,
get my crew to buy beers
And watch a flick,
illin' and root for the villain, huh
Plus, every morning,
I go out and love it, sort of chilly
Then I send a shorty from my
[E]block to the [Am]store for phillies
After being blessed by
the herb's essence
I'm back to my rest, ten minutes,
some odd seconds
That's where I got the honey at,
[E]spends the night [Am]for sexing
Cheap lubrication, lifestyle protection
Picking up my stereo's re[E]mote control,
[Am]quickly
Ron G's in the cassette deck
[E], rockin' the [Am]shit, G
I try to stay mellow, rock, well,
acapella rhymes'll
Make me richer than a slipper
[E]made Cinder[Am]ella, fella
Go get your crew, Hobbes,
[E]I'm prepared to [Am]bomb troops
Got niggas who's born,
I shot my [E]way [Am]out my m[G]om d[Am]ukes
When I was ten,
I was a hip-hoppin' [E]shorty [Am]shorty wop
Known for rocking microphones and [E]twisting off a [Am]forty top,
yeah
(One time for your [E]mind, one

[Verse 4]
[G]
[Am]time)
Yeah, whatever
(One time for your [E]mind, [G]one [Am]time)
It sound clever
(Ayo, Nas, fuck that, [E]man,
that [Am]shit [G]was[Am] fat)
(But kick that for them gangstas, man,
fuck all that)

[Verse 5]
Right, right, what up [Am]niggas,
how y'all? It's [E]Nasty, [G]the villain
[Am]I'm still writin' rhymes,
but be[E]sides [Am]that I'm chillin'
I'm trying to get this money, God,
you [E]know the hard [Am]times, kid
Shit, cold be starvin',
make you want to do [G]crimes, [Am]kid
But I'm a lamp,
'cause a crime couldn't [G]beat a [Am]rhyme
Niggas catching three to nines,
Muslims yelling free the mind
And I'm from [E]Queensbridge, been
to [Am]many [G]places
[Am]As a kid, when I would say that out of town,
niggas [G]chased us
But now I know the time, got a older mind
Plus control a nine, fine, see,
now I represent mine
[Am]I'm new on the rap scene,
brothers never [G]heard of [Am]me
Yet I'm a meance, yo,
police want to murder me
Heine dark drinker,
rep[E]resent [G]the thinker[Am]
My pen rides the paper,
it [E]even has [Am]blinkers
Think I'll dim the lights then in[E]hale,
[Am]it s[G]timulate[Am]s
Floating like I'm on the north
ninety-five interstate
interstate
Never plan to stop,
[E]when I [Am]write my hand is hot
And expand a lot [E]from
[Am]the wiz' to Camelot
[G]The parlayer, I'll make ya heads bop, Pah
I shine a light on perpetrators,
like a cop's [Am]car
[G]From day to night, I play the mic,
and you'll thank God
I wreck shit so much,
[E]the microphone'll need a [G]paint [Am]job
My brain is [E]incarcerated
[Am]Live at any jam,
I couldn't [E]count all [G]the parks I [Am]raided
I hold [E]a MAC-11, an[G]d attack the [Am]Reverend
I contact eleven [E]L's, and max in [Am]heaven

[Verse 6]
Yo, [Am]one time for your [E]mind, [G]one time
It [Am]sound clever
But one time for your [E]mind, one [G]time
[Am]Yeah, whatever
One time for your [E]mind, one [G]time
[Am]Yo, from ninety-two to to [G]ninety-nine

[Verse 7]
[G]Yeah
[Am]Yeah, Yeah, that [E]shit [Am]was greasy,
fat Paul, know what I'm saying?
[E]But check it,
[Am]you gotta another verse for me?
I want you to kick it,
you know what I'm saying?
Kick that shit from the project[Am]s
[Am]
