[Hook]
In Mic Check, Young Jeezy featuring Juelz Santana speaks out to all the "niggas" and "rap dudes" who are stealing his ways and trying to impersonate him. He warns them to pay for what they are copying because it is Pay Per View. Juelz Santana then starts with the first verse where he takes time to brush his shoulders off and let people know how great he is. He weaves and comes back with the same jab, which is three times stronger while blowing smoke to the heaven that’s so dope it’s a weapon. Santana keeps saying he might not have sold the most, but he still manages the most fear among MCs for his dope and authentic lyrics. We hear the hook where Santana goes Mic check 1,2,1,2, and people should get ready because Santana is back in business.
In verse two, Santana raps about how he is back and ready to take his throne now and how bright lights should be thrown for him. He asks people to throw rice up for him and ice up for him because he is back like a cooked crack. He is as good as a whole brick of cocaine that is equivalent to fifty broken-down keys sold around the city streets. If anyone catches him having sex with a chick, it is a bisexual chick or something foreign that he would never forget. He reminds people that he is the shit and how much they bet; he will lay it down and claim the winnings. Finally, in verse three, Santana celebrates his comeback like raw cocaine put in the pot with water and soda, and what comes out is best – Santana himself. He won't stop or be copied, and he is the best at what he does.
Some interesting facts about Mic Check include that the song was recorded in 2007 and released on Jeezy’s award-winning album ‘The Inspiration: Thug Motivation 102’. The song is produced by Black Mob Music and was a chart-topping success that landed number 36 on the US Hot Rap Tracks. It was also nominated for Best Collaboration and won Album of the Year, Urban, and Paul Brown directed the song's music video. Santana also uses the same flow on this song as he does on his 2005 song “Mic Check.” Finally, the song was remixed by the Slapazonz DJ’s and can be heard on the ‘Slapazonz Christmas Cartel’ album.

I have been noticing how you have been copying my style and it has gotten out of hand. Just like I tell my women, don't just watch me without paying for it. My skills are valuable and should not be taken for granted.

I am reasserting my dominance in the rap game and I am the greatest of all time. My rhymes pack a punch just like Muhammad Ali's. I am a mastermind and have a lot of power, just like in the movie Ocean's Eleven. Although I may not have sold the most albums, I am still the most respected. Everything I say is true and authentic, and if I say something is not gay, then it is definitely not gay.

I am here to stay and I am taking over, just like I am making a move in a card game. I am on fire and unstoppable, and people are taking notice. I am the best in the game, and even my associates are impressed with my skills. I operate like a drug dealer, and if you catch me with a woman, it will always be someone special. I am confident in myself and can back up anything I claim.

I am ready to show off my power and strength, and everyone should take notice. I have prepared for this moment and I am unstoppable. I have already been successful in my past endeavors, and now I am ready to show even more success. I am like a drug that is very addictive and powerful, and no one can stop me. I am confident and people will flock to me.
