[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?
