Lyrics
I changed a lot from the old me
I have undergone significant changes from my previous self.
Don't talk to me like you know me
Don't communicate with me as if you understand me deeply.
I pour it quick but drink slowly
I pour drinks quickly but consume them slowly.
All of my demons approach me
All of my inner struggles and challenges are approaching me.
I'm up late night I get no sleep
I stay awake at night, unable to sleep.
Writing some shit that hits so deep
I'm writing something that has a profound impact.
You need to come here and show me
Someone needs to come and demonstrate or prove something to me.
Shorty I need you to show me
I need you, my significant other, to demonstrate or prove something to me.
Woah, woah
An exclamation expressing surprise or awe.
Really I'm hitting these shows
I am actively participating in various performances.
Woah, woah
Expressing excitement or emphasis on being on the road frequently.
Really I'm hitting the road
I need at least a million dollars for sure.
Need me a mill for sure
Once I have a million, I aim to acquire two hundred and fifty thousand more.
And then I'm gonna get me two fifty or more
In my city, I am recognized as the person with a captivating flow.
Up in my city they know I'm the nigga that be killing the flow
I took a risk by making decisions, and I've paid a price to look the way I do.
I took a risk, I roll the dice
I've been under stress throughout the night.
To look like this, I paid the price
Although I made mistakes, I did the right thing for you.
I just been been stressing and stressing all night
My mother advises me to shine brightly.
I did some wrong but for you I did right
No one can diminish my light.
My momma told me I gotta shine bright
I desire a lasting impact, not just a one-night experience.
There ain't nobody that's dimming my light
Feeling reminiscent of Nas, a legendary rapper, and his desire for a single microphone to express himself.
Want this forever, I don't want one night
Expressing the desire for a singular platform or opportunity to showcase talent.
Feeling like Nas I need one mic
Referencing Nas again and his iconic track "One Mic."
Feeling like Nas I need one mic
Reiterating the need for a singular microphone as a metaphor for focused expression.
Yeah I need one mic
Emphasizing the desire for a solitary microphone.
Up on the stage I need one mic
Highlighting the importance of having one microphone on stage.
Up in the stu I need one mic
Expressing the need for a singular microphone in the studio.
Feeling like Nas I need one mic
Reiterating the feeling reminiscent of Nas and the importance of one microphone.
Yeah I need one mic
Emphasizing the importance of a single microphone.
Up on the stage I need one mic
Highlighting the necessity of one microphone on stage.
Up in the stu I need one mic
Expressing the need for a singular microphone in the studio.
I changed a lot from the old me
Reiteration of significant personal changes from the past.
Don't talk to me like you know me
Caution against assuming familiarity and understanding.
I pour it quick but drink slowly
Quick consumption of drinks but a slow, thoughtful approach to drinking.
All of my demons approach me
The challenges and struggles within are approaching me.
I'm up late night I get no sleep
Struggling with insomnia, staying awake late at night.
Writing some shit that hits so deep
Creating profound and impactful content through writing.
You need to come here and show me
Invitation for someone to physically demonstrate something.
Shorty I need you to show me
Requesting the significant other to demonstrate or prove something.
