One Mic
One Mic: Embracing Truth, Love, and Generational Change
Lyrics
all I got is one mic one chance
All I have is one microphone, one opportunity
and one love
And one love
all obsessed up in this culture
Immersed in this culture
all they want to be is thugs
People aspire to be thugs
one chance I'm poring out my heart
This is my one chance, expressing my emotions fully
and I mean all of it
Expressing my emotions sincerely
so tired of them clout chasing
Tired of those chasing fame, attention, and money
paper chasing, they need to be
They should focus on more meaningful pursuits
raise a generation teach them better what it needs to be
Advocating for raising a generation with better values
all the things that you went through you telling me your seed should see
Learning from your experiences, passing wisdom to your children
that's why I push this music hard its plenty that believe in me
Pursuing music passionately because others believe in the artist
rocket city what I rep the whole city its our time
Representing Rocket City, believing it's the city's time to shine
to all the labels in the city pressure only make you shine
Pressure is essential for success in the city's music industry
that pressure not as in og
Clarifying "pressure" refers to the artist, not just any pressure
plenty was here before me
Recognizing others who paved the way before the artist
I will not let them down as I sit and adjust my crown
Commitment not to let down those who believe in the artist
We all kings in our own way
Empowering everyone as kings in their own way
Never care about what they say
Encouragement to disregard negative opinions
You can be a billion air in a room full of naysay
Success is possible even in the face of skepticism
Loving hip hop it made me
Gratitude for hip hop, a significant influence on the artist
Breathe it until my last day
Passionate dedication to hip hop until the end
I sit and inject this venom that's my words
Expressing thoughts and emotions through music
And the word play
Emphasizing the importance of wordplay in the artist's lyrics
never said im the best
Continuation of the artist's journey, experiences, and reflections on societal issues, emphasizing personal growth and positive change
but it aint many that out work me
-that I know is for certain
-leaving our sisters hurting
-generational scars fathers locked behind them bars
-so she tries to hide the hurt by flexin on Instagram
-snap chatting them pic's but what they fail to depict
-is the scars on her soul and a heart that has a hole
-wonder why she so cold
-is because life is taking its tole
-looking for that one love
-as her body is getting old
-for the love of the world
-these women will sell they soul
-what happened to the family unit
-the culture reject it to quick
-they searching for where the truth is
-but seek and you find where truth lives
-ignoring your anxiety
-all these sneaks and your third eye can see
-believe in all their energy
-on the road to greatness
-I'm walking amongst the stars
-ascending into the heavens
-with no hooks just bars
-they rapping about they cars
-and all the drugs that they sellin
-but never talk about felonies
-knowledge is where the heavens be
-loving all this change that's happening deep inside of me
-coming from a knuckle head now im considered an OG
