Mic Check

Lyrics

[Intro] I been paying attention to what's going on out there, man (Yep) I been watching you niggas stealing my ways and shit (Uh-huh) And it's getting out of control now (Out of control) I'm a-telling you dudes, like I tell my woman (Listen) Don't watch me, watch TV This is Pay-Per-View, you gotta pay for this Aye! [Verse 1] First, let me take time to brush my shoulders off Wait... I had to dust my shoulders off Thanks, y'all been waiting, been patient, been anxious Now I herefore bring back me, Your Greatness (Yes) The rap Ali – jab, I weave Then come back with the same jab, times three I blow smoke to the heaven, I'm so close to perfection Rap's one big casino, I'm plotting 'Ocean Eleven' (Ay) I might have sold the least But I still manage to be most feared by most emcees (Good) Who holding me? Who close to me? For sho', papi – nobody – yeah, that's how it's supposed to be Now listen, you can either comprehend it or compliment it It's all authentic (Yep) But you better believe whatever I say Guess what? You can bet it all, I meant it (AYE!) [Hook] Mic check, one two, one two (One two) Mic check, one two, one two (One two) Mic check, one two, what is this? Santana's back to business, let's go (Ay) Mic check, one two, one two (Check) Mic check, one two, one two (Check) Mic check, one two, what is this? Santana's back to business, let's go (Ay) [Verse 2] Bad news, rap dudes – I'm back, fools Give the throne up, this is that jack move (Jack move) Ha-choo! I just sneezed and the track moved (Ha-choo!) God bless me, yes, that's true So bright, throw lights up for me For life, married the game, throw rice up for me (Yes) So nice, throw ice up for me (Yes) Two pieces for B.I.G. and one piece for tha kid (Yes) I am back, yup – put a stack up Let it down, set it down, now I'm 'bout to act up For you to get rid of me? You'll need about 50 G's In army fatigues, ready to bleed, please believe (Wow) If you catch me pushing a whip It's a new Coupe wit' a lip Or something foreign, I'll never forget Yes, I'm the man, bet, I'm the man Am I here to save the day? Oh yes, I definitely am [Hook] Mic check, one two, one two (One two) Mic check, one two, one two (One two) Mic check, one two, what is this? Santana's back to business, let's go (Ay) Mic check, one two, one two (Check) Mic check, one two, one two (Check) Mic check, one two, what is this? Santana's back to business, let's go (Ay) [Verse 3] Look, homie – quick, homie Get a camera, get a flick (Yes) Get a load of this, homie I spit, homie – the flow so sick, homie Once again, I'm back – this is it, homie The album's done, which mean the album's coming Spent a while, but (fuck) it This time around, I'm fronting I done styled and stunted I done wiled in public, I done paid my dues Did my hundred miles and running, now I'm back (Ay)...
