Lyrics for Mic Check as interpreted by shadowcml

Mic Check Lyrics
Oh Wait a minute now
Ha ha ha
Come on
Wait a Minute Now
Check

To tha young r to tha e tha b to tha e tha l
Never give up just live up
Fed upon America
We be spittin' it up
Rippin' it up
For an even amount in each cup
To my brothers burning bare feet on black top
Whose curled 'neath tha shadows
From tha gaze of tha cops

Whose huntin' for 9 to 5's through factory locks
Is now hunted on this modern day auction block

Mic Check, ha ha ha
I be the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker
Mic Check, ha ha ha ha
I be the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker, what?
Mic Check, ha ha ha
I be the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker
Mic Check, ha ha ha ha
I be the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker, what?

Check check check check the check, oh
packin

Flexin' and mashin'
With complex text
Fast and in a fashion
That snap back necks
Quicker than a fed cash tha company checks
Come with tha fire only Marley could catch
This be tha flame in tha cellar beware
Nameless cold millions gaspin' for air
Those naked and wageless
Now scream within cages
What, they make you pull your shit
Just to get your share, what?

Mic Check, ha ha ha
I be the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker
Mic Check, ha ha ha ha
I be the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker, what?
Mic Check, ha ha ha
I be the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker
Mic Check, ha ha ha ha
I be the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker, what?

Welcome down with the warrior sound, UGH!

With this mic device
I spit nonfiction
Who got tha power
This be my question
Tha mass of tha few in this torn nation?
Tha priest tha book or tha congregation?
Tha politricks who rob and hold down your zone?
Or those who give tha thieves tha key to their homes?
Tha pig who's free to murder one Shucklak
Or survivors who make a move and murder one back?

This mic device
I spit nonfiction
Who got tha power
This be my question
Tha mass of tha few in this torn nation?
Tha priest tha book or tha congregation?
Tha politricks who rob and hold down your zone?
Or those who give tha thieves tha key to their homes?
Tha pig who's free to murder one Shucklak
Or survivors who make a move and murder one back?

Mic Check, ha ha ha
I be the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker
Mic Check, ha ha ha ha
I be the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker, what?
Mic Check, ha ha ha
I be the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker
Mic Check, ha ha ha ha
I be the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker, what?

yeah, but wouldn't it make more sense for the line to be 'burning black feet on blackTAR'? i mean, how the fuck to you burn your feet on a preposition?

blacktop is another word for asphalt, or whatever that black shit is on the ground, like in parking lots and shit.

jretard, look, i know that you think the first paragraph is about being a rebel.....but.......it is so much more than the bs that southern retards call being a rebel. he means rebelling against the U.S. gov. for equallity. ACTUAL equality. even with all the laws in the world, things will never be truely fair. he wants that for everyone. This song is all about exposing the things that are wrong in our country today. The anti-myth rythm rock shocka!

I don't know bodegas, there are so many ingenius songs on that album that it is near impossible to pick just one line as the best, if I had to do so, I would pick, "With this mic device I spit nonfiction" from Mic Check because it sums up Zach in two lines of the song...that's what he's doing, revealing this tyrannical shit that goes on and people ignore.

Zack is such a genious. "Politricks" is so simple but makes such an impact and the fact that it's true also adds to the effect!

Actually, I think "Shuclack" is supposed to be the sound of a shotgun as a round is being fed into the chamber. Like before being fired or after a shot and second is being loaded.

"Who got tha power

Tha priest tha book or tha congregation?"

The part about the priest, the book, and the congregation, IMO, is a metaphor (and a well-written one at that) referring to our government, instead of just an attack on religion, asking who is in power: The priest (the president of the U.S.), The Book (the constitution), or the congregation (the people).

Shucklak is a fool. Or it's the sound of a shotgun pump being racked.

I cant believe no one else thinks this!!

basically, the sound of the track- riff and beat sounds totally like a dystopian soundtrack to me, like if 1984 were remade- this would almost certainly be in it- opressive government and killings in secret, but an eventual uprising. but no smoke without fire.


rage is the fire.

Possiably call for sympathy with political assassins?

its actually "i'll be the fire only marley could catch"

he's referring to his lyricism, this line is a rallying call some mexican guerillas used to use, the ones who love marley, of course.
