Lyrics
[verse]
One mic, one light, one empty room tonight
Paper full of scars I'm trying to make right
Started with a whisper, building to a scream
Every word a witness to the broken dream
I seen the block get quiet when the sirens came
I seen a mother crying, calling out a name
All I got is honesty and half a chance
So I write it low and slow before I take my stance
[chorus]
One mic, one heart, one voice against the dark
One shot to say it all before they dim the spark
One mic, no gimmicks, just the truth laid bare
I'll carry every silent street up in the air
[verse]
Concrete raised me, taught me how to stand
Watched the older heads get buried in the sand
I'm not a prophet, just a witness with a pen
Turning every setback into words again
The beat comes soft then rises like a tide
I keep it steady, I got nothing left to hide
This ain't a show, it's a testimony now
One mic in my hand and I don't know how
[chorus]
One mic, one heart, one voice against the dark
One shot to say it all before they dim the spark
One mic, no gimmicks, just the truth laid bare
I'll carry every silent street up in the air
[bridge]
Let the drum breathe, let the silence talk
Every scar I carry taught me how to walk
No gold, no chains could ever say it right
Just one mic burning like the last streetlight
[chorus]
One mic, one heart, one voice against the dark
One shot to say it all before they dim the spark
One mic, no gimmicks, just the truth laid bare
I'll carry every silent street up in the air
