Mic Check

I been payin' attention to what's going on out there man
I been watching you stealing my ways (uh-huh)
And it's getting out of control now (out of control)
I'ma telling you dudes just like I tell my woman (listen)
Don't watch me, watch TV
This is pay-per-view you gotta pay for this, ay

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 MCs (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 (ay)

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

Bad news, rap dudes, I'm back fools
Give the thrown 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 the 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

Mic check one-two, one-two (one-two)

Santana's back to business, let's go (ay)

Mic check one-two, one-two (check)

Look homie, quick homie (quick)
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 this time around I'm fronting
I done styled and stunted, I done wild in public
I done paid my dues
Did my hundred miles and running, now I'm back (ay)
