Mic check
Kano (Feat. Demon & Ghetto) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't give a fuck about your reputation, I'm the star from the top like christmas decorations, and me
Merking you right now that's my estimation. Dedication plus patience equals elevation, get your voice on
Any station, why you waiting? Why waste time debating fucking around not raving, late night time I'm in the
Studio slaving, 8 nights a week too many days in. That's when you see me with a beard fuck shaving.

I'm tired of rhyming but I am a pain in the backside, your plan backfired, you can look up anyone
That's tried, they can't merk me never that, that's right its not that season nor that time, I ain't
Boasting but I am that type, so shut your noise and gimmie that mic, heard the beat and I was like gimmie
That mic, and I wrote some fuck lyrics that night, I'm on point no falling behind. Its all in the music its
All in the mind, what you call it garage? What you call it grime? Call it what you wanna call it, I'm fine
But rhyme wise I got a short order of mine. Dukes, dee, whiley, ghetto these have got new flows all the time.

Testing mic check 1 2, someone so called your name, so what's new fuck him, fuck them, fuck you.
If they want to clash with me I would love to.
Hello who is this? Who are you?
There's beef on tasia, it's going off on the roof,
Shuut up, what now? What krew? What nasty?
Nah
Fuck you!

My flows big, big, big I spit hits kid, big tings rude boy I'm done with this shit, quick, quick, quick
The shit click, click and ill be like swift put the stick to his ribs. He's rich, rich, rich take that
Shit, you win some you lose some son life's a bitch, bitch bitch ain't that a bitch oh well bad luck piss,
Piss, piss. I was born to be rich, santa knows I had money on my christmas list and when you get some
Comes chicks, then all of your texts end in a kiss, kiss, kiss, hi hug kiss, kiss that how they greet me,
All because I flow ill like a sickness, I'm a sick kid, but when I spit hot shit I'm on fire, but I'm a big blitz.

Testing mic check 1 2, someone so called your name, so what's new fuck him, fuck them, fuck you.
If they want to clash with me I would love to.
Hello who is this? Who are you?
There's beef on tasia, it's going off on the roof,
Shuut up, what now? What krew? What nasty?




Nah
Fuck you!

Overall Meaning

In the song "Mic Check," Kano, Demon, and Ghetto start by making a bold statement that they don't care about anyone's reputation and that they are at the top like Christmas decorations. They talk about how they are focused on their own success, and they are estimating that they're going to be better than anyone else in the game. They then rap about putting in the work, dedicating themselves to the craft, and patiently waiting for their moment to shine. While others waste time debating and not raving, these artists are working late nights in the studio, slaving over their music. They are so dedicated that they don't even have time to shave, as they spend all of their energy perfecting their sound.


The artists assert their authority and dominance in the rap game, claiming that no one can 'merk' them. They have a short order of rhymes that they spit with ease and efficiency. The click sound of the mic adds to the intensity of the song, as they test the mic and challenge anyone who wants to challenge them. They don't hide their aggression and say, "what's new f**k him, f**k them, f**k you." The song is a message to anyone who dares to come at them, making it clear that they are not afraid to clap back.

Music depends on talent and creativity. Is it called garage? Is it called grime? Whatever you want to label it, I'm okay with it. But for rhyming, I have a specific way of doing it. Dukes, Dee, Wiley, and Ghetto are constantly innovating new styles.

My style is authoritative and forceful, I spit out great music continually, and I'm tired of the nonsense. The music flows easily, and I'm quick on my feet. I'm full of great ideas and I deliver them quickly without fail. He's worked hard to become wealthy, but I don't care. Life is unpredictable and can go either way, and it's cruel. Oh well, bad luck, and I'm pissed off.

I was born to be wealthy; even Santa knows that, seeing as I always asked for money on my Christmas list. When you get some money, girls come flocking, and all your texts end with kisses. Everyone greets me affectionately because I'm exceptional at this craft, but I'm like a disease. I'm a sick artist, but when I rap, I'm on fire, and I'm unstoppable.
