Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mic check, my cheque
SureBoi
Mic check my cheque
I'm fucking tryna get my cheque
Niggaz out here dripping and wet
SureBoi me, I'm just looking like cash
They say he ain't really sound like the rest
So the O.G's come through and give him respect
No cap
My biggest investment was to believe in myself  
Go bigger, go bigger
They say go bigger than BIG himself
But I give BIG respect
And none of these niggas can test
Say they wanna contest
In a battle tell em, put ten million on deck
Or 25 million in check
Fuck it just bring it in cash
I murder all the beats and it sounds nice
Now the beat ain't normal Benjamz type
And the kick sound like it's fight night
Like a Tyson comeback fight night
Mic check, my cheque
I'm fucking tryna get my cheque
Niggaz out here dripping and wet 
SureBoi me I'm just looking like cash 
Mic check my cheque
I'm fucking tryna get my cheque
Niggaz out here dripping and wet 
SureBoi me, I'm just looking like cash
Mic check my cheque
The government handing out cheques
Stimulus pandemic for the North
But no money for the South and the East and the West
And the people get death
In the hands of the people they elect
So we gotta go and protest
And burn down shit
Make them know say we dey vex
We dey vex, We dey vex
All my people living out here
Looking all stressed
Bout to go Waco like David Koresh
Hold a nigga down until he get a bullet in the head
African King in the west
Wise man with a gift, and he came from the East
Skinny motherfucker, but he roar like a beast
When he get on this beat
Tell em, call the police
Mic check, my cheque
I'm fucking tryna get my cheque
Niggaz out here dripping and wet 
SureBoi me, I'm just looking like cash
Mic check, my cheque
I'm fucking tryna get my cheque
Niggaz out here dripping and wet 




SureBoi me, I'm just looking like cash
