The Alchemist
For One Night Only
[Bumpy Johnson (Laurence Fishburne)]
My name is Bumpy Johnson

[Francine Hughes (Vanessa Williams)]
Bumpy? Momma named you Bumpy?

[Illinois Gordon (Chi McBride)]
Bumpy Johnson!

[Stephanie St. Clair (Cicely Tyson)]
Bumpy Johnson! Oh boy you're a sight to sore eyes

[Verse 1]
Uh-huh, eyo, yo, yo, yo, yeah
Go in your [?] throw on your best feet, bring on your friends
We, doin' it real big, tonight we gettin' it in
Even the whole front row, shots on me, I'm
Runnin' around the stage feelin' good, feelin' free
I, sat in the box 3 years n***a, I'm back now
Throw your hands up in the air if you can relate to that
Now, where my ladies at, my potential baby mommas
Y'all, comin' with me after the show, we'll be gone for hours
Yeah, but for right now relax and enjoy the flow
The smoke's startin' to flow, you're ready here we go
Yeah, but for right now relax and enjoy the flow
The smoke's startin' to flow, you're ready here we go
This is top of the line rap, your money well spent
You should be proud of yourself, you made a good investment
I give healthy returns, my stock is up crazy
You buy me I pay you with music that's amazing
Required remind, they wanna know if he hot
As he claim to be, that's what they came to see
Yeah I'm back like a spine, a hawk spit it nasty
Verse, some real shit-shit, to set the tone, I'm
Screamin' through the rhythm like a gold medalist
Watch me dance on the snare, bassline and the kick
Get my kicks and my rocks off when I perform
My adrenalin rush, you turn your music up more
This arena level rap, black heavy metal
But I still do the hole in the walls inside the ghetto
Live at a bucket of blood where rappers don't dare
For one night only Prodigy'll be there
[Chorus]
For one night only you can catch me at the spot
See me rock live, while I'm on tour
For one night only you can see me in your town
Tearin' it down, doin' all of my songs
For one night only I'll be in your territory
Please leave all problems at the door
For one night only, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
This the greatest show on earth, minus all the clown shit
I don't do gimmicks, I just put it down with force and authority
I got seniority over these flunkies celebrity wanna-be
Just like the Mobb I got enough songs
To rock on any stage for two hours long, and they still want more
I give 'em what they want, I don't act like I'm too good (nah)
Or act like a cunt (uh-uh), I'll react like the animal I am
I'm just havin' fun while you frontin' like you Billy Badass
I'm schemin' on which one of these little belles
To take back to the heartbreak hotel
Just for one night my baby, get it while you can
Better get it while it's hot, my baby while you got the chance
This qualified, certified, bonafide, all that
Satisfaction guaranteed, you can get your dough back

[Chorus]
For one night only you can catch me at the spot
See me rock live, while I'm on tour
For one night only you can see me in your town
Tearin' it down, doin' all of my songs
For one night only I'll be in your territory
Please leave all problems at the door
For one night only, uh-huh
[Verse 3]
Homegirl lose your boyfriend, tell him it's ladies night on the town
Pack your toothbrush and overnight bag, it's goin' down
Bottles of champagne, doin your damn thing, dim the lights down
So I can get in my zone and perform for this crowd
Like you didn't know tomorrow, like this my last rap
I, never had a feeling so good in my life
As the feeling when I'm killin' every word in my bars
Every line in my rhyme in the park where the chorus say
For one night, you gonna get right do what you like
Livin' your life like it's no worries just enjoyin' the ride
Close yo' eyes let the music sink in, and we could begin
We could pretend like we not fallin' in lust, we could be friends
Tell your besties to holla' back, I'mma demolish that
And after the night go on with your life like it never happened
If skeletons in your closet could speak they would say
You and P were some stone cold freaks

[Chorus]
For one night only you can catch me at the spot
See me rock live, while I'm on tour
For one night only you can see me in your town
Tearin' it down, doin' all of my songs
For one night only I'll be in your territory
Please leave all problems at the door
For one night only
