Tom Morello - Mic Check lyrics

To the Young R to the E, the B to the E, the 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 the shadows from the gaze of the cops Whose huntin' for 9 to 5's through factory locks Is now hunted on this modern day auction block [Hook] 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 the company checks Come with the "Fire" only Marley could catch This be the flame in the cellar beware Nameless cold millions gaspin' for air Those naked and wageless, now scream within cages What, they make you pull your sh** Just to get your share, what?! [Hook] With this mic device, I spit nonfiction "Who got the power?" this be my question The ma** of the few in this torn nation? The priest, the book, or the congregation? The politricks who rob and hold down your zone? Or those who give the thieves the key to their homes? The pig who's free to murder one Shucklak Or survivors who make a move and murder one back!? With this mic device, I spit nonfiction! "Who got the power?" this be my question! The ma** of the few in this torn nation? The priest, the book, or the congregation? The politricks who rob and hold down your zone? Or those who give the thieves the key to their homes? The pig who's free to murder one Shucklak Or survivors who make a move and murder one back? [Hook]
