[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?
