One Mic, One Thought

[Chorus] All I need is one mic, and one thought I build off of it All I need is one mic, and one thought I build off of it [Verse 1] All I need is one mic, and one thought, I build off of it The language that I'm talkin' in paints the picture you're walkin' in The things that I say are just way too deep for them to market it Emotions I feel are just ways to reach into my confidence But they don't understand the underlying theme Beneath the schemes to spit the visions and rhythms You have to see to get To understand what drives a man beyond the boy he used to be Just for respect from succеss is what it is, usually Unless you find one bold enough to singlе himself out And spill his soul and spit the things that others judge him from The things that others hold inside, the lost and hidden feelings I just confess 'em through methods of poetic expression They're quite impressive unless you don't understand the message In which I convey, and in that case, you remain the exception I confessed in the tribute in which I give you As to where my last line in it will forever be felt Whether destiny plays its part, or disaster rewrites its history I'll never take that line back just to show my sincerity I'll never take that line back just to show my sincerity I'll never take that line back just to show my sincerity A single bold move, took a shot a riskin' my dignity Which might've made all of my closest friends become enemies In only fifteen minutes; within it, the deepest feelings Towards the people I trusted, sorry I couldn't pretend to be The only one I feel that understands me Are the words that left and yet I write with the other hand Understated; yet every statement I make leaves amazement Inside the faces, and heart, and soul of those who feel I wouldn't make it; although it seems impossible Read the word closely, and you'll see, "I'm possible" Faith is just a promise, and I solemnly swear I got it Even through the times where I could see a hole in my pockets Even through the times when I could see a hole in my dreams And it's only a matter of time; I'll be holdin' my dreams No matter how hard I have to work for it 'Cause I only have one life to live, and two parents believe A million people to please, and plenty' lives that need I sight to see that look right to me; I look right back Success is a destiny; even money couldn't buy that 'Cause even in the midst of the perfect path, could get sidetracked Why's that? 'Cause in the midst of a million lies There's no one that seems to lie fact But through the wisest eyes, the lies just get sidetracked It seems the wise never buy that, why? Because intelligence from a diligent person is perfect Inside of wisdom, deeper than words in the verses Of a poetic individual gifted with a curse Just to map out his blueprint Only to find that it wouldn't work for him Only to go back into what seems that path of failure 'Cause he chose to write the things that go beneath the surface On paper, and what they wouldn't understand Could only build from the surface of my experience And never another man's [Chorus] All I need is one mic, and one thought I build off of it All I need is one mic, and one thought I build off it it [Verse 2] All I need is one mic, and one thought I build off of it The emotion I spit closed some rappers' coffin lids Such as Tupac and Biggie 'Cause you could get murdered off the shit that you spit, see So in the event that I go, keep spinnin' me like a spiral 'Cause until I go, I'ma keep spittin' fire like Spyro Devoted to my emotion on my lyrics I'm spittin' my spirit, 'cause when I told my feelings Nobody would listen During the times when the children needed it most I learned the world was cold at a young age I pray to warm it up one day I pray that I see the faith in me it seemed that no one else could see What do you do when no one's on your side? [Chorus] 'Cause all I need is one mic, and one thought I build off of it All I need is one mic, and one thought I build off of it Said all I need is one mic, and one thought I build off of it All I need is one mic, and one thought I build off of it [Outro] I swear that all I need is one mic, and one thought I build off of it Now could it be destiny that I'm talkin' with? Could it be destiny that I'm talkin' with? Could it be destiny that I'm talkin' with? Now, could it be destiny that I'm talkin' with? (How could it be?) How could it be? How could it be?
