One Mic by Nas

Freedom of speech, ever wondered what that means? It’s taught to us are whole life. Freedom of speech is one small thing out of many that this country is based on. Our founding fathers decided that this be a way for us, Americans, to voice our opinion. To let our voices be heard. And that’s exactly what the song writer/singer Nas did. With his Album Stillmatic. The song “One Mic” gained a lot of publicity because of the lyrics, but most importantly the message.
Nas is a talented person who just wants to tell his story. And in the song he does, by saying how much it is a blessing to be out there, speaking about what's happening in his neighborhood, and having the whole world understand and relate.If he didn't have a microphone, then he would never be able to get his point across.Hes not here just to be in your face talking nonsense, hes talking about reality. For peole to be upset about what hes saying in his songs is insane. It just shows how ignorant people are. "One Mic" just gives him the ability, no matter what people say are how mad they get, to expose the truth.It may be a little crude, but hes talking in a language that the people can hear, he doesn’t sugar-coat any of it. Because the life he lives isnt sugar-coated, and life that some people live isn’t sugar-coated. So if it scares people and people feel guilty, people feel like they've got to make up excuses to why the world's this way, no matter what they say or how they choose to say it, they've got their mic, hes got his.
