Mic check
oscar smith Lyrics

Aye, Aye, Aye
Attention grabber to start off the song

Hop on the track it's My Time
Confident declaration that it's the singer's time to shine

Don't waste it because Time Flies
Warning to not waste time because time goes quickly

I'm Flipping beats Like Five Guys
Metaphor comparing the singer's ability to cook up beats to the style of the fast food chain Five Guys

I'm cooking heat like Fried Rice
Using cooking as a metaphor for creating hot beats

Throw compliments like That's nice
Throwing compliments around like they're nothing significant

Decent drip Like Dry Ice
Compared to dry ice, the singer's drip is cool and impressive

We gather up like Nine-Nine
Reference to the police sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine, stating that the group comes together like the characters in the show

My saviour! He paid The Price
Referring to Jesus as the savior who paid the price for humanity's sins

Step back Can't mess with the dreamers
Warning to not mess with people who have big dreams and aspirations

Feedback Like you're the receiver
Receiving feedback like a radio receiver picks up signals

SnapBack Cause your hair receding
Snapback hats are worn with the intention to cover up baldness and receding hairlines

Clap back Yeah I'm fighting my demons
Fighting with inner demons and responding to criticism with a clapback

Humming And drumming I'm caught in these feelings
Lost in emotions while creating music

Picking And Strumming My hands to the ceiling
Playing guitar and strumming so hard that it brings hands towards the ceiling

Working On something You making Assumptions
Working on music while others make assumptions about the quality of their work

I'm trying To Function And focus on Healing
Trying to function amidst distractions while also focusing on personal healing

I Grab the Mic Like it's my phone
Treating the mic like a personal device

About fall of a Cliff
Stepping off the edge and taking risks

I live my life And watch the Throne
Living life freely without being held down by any influence

My musics more like a Gift
Music is something that comes naturally and is a gift to the singer

Weight of the world I'm gone Lift
Feeling like the singer can lift the weight of the world

An Empty song Need a Riff
The song needs something extra or a more unique melody or rhythm to sound more complete

you complain Because your musics Getting beat by a kid
Others are complaining because a young artist is surpassing their own music

I'm making Thunder So Low Key (Loki) Like Thor's Brother
Creating music that is powerful but downplayed and humble like Loki, Thor's brother in the Marvel Universe

I'm rapping while you stutter My lyrics are smooth as butter
Hearing other rappers stumble while the singer's own lyrics and flow are effortlessly smooth

BUT ARE you even offended I stood my ground I defended While other people Depended
Asking if others are even upset by the singer's confident and defensive stance while they themselves depended on others

On auto tune And a pen lid Oh wow
Calling out the use of auto-tune and mediocre lyrics written like it's nothing special

You don't even know who's better Came in the game but stayed for the cheddar
Others don't know who's truly talent but are only in it for the money

Open the door but fold under pressure Songs so trash when you don't put in Effort
Cracking under the pressure despite being handed opportunities and creating terrible music because no effort was put into it

Work so hard, you might think too clever Drip to Hard. But you drop like a feather
Working so hard that it is perceived as being too clever but still falling easily under outside pressure

Work in the Storm. I'm fighting the weather
Creating music despite the hardships and difficulties in life

This is my time. I'm better than Ever
Confident statement that this is the singer's time to shine and they're better than ever

I'm letting You Know I'm Out of this World like Bruno
Singer is announcing to the world that they're out of this world and using Bruno (as in Bruno Mars) as a comparison

I'm Disappearing like Pluto I'm Kicking it Back like Judo
Singer is disappearing like Pluto (from our solar system) and chilling back in a comfortable position like practicing Judo

Fix my work This my Best I know I say it With my chest
Fixing the work to be the best it can be and being confident in it

Life is hard But yeah I m blessed
Despite the difficulties life presents, the singer knows they're blessed

I snatch the Mic Now it's Mic Check
Taking control of the mic and making sure everything is good for a mic check

Testing 1,2 1,2 Almost check mate homie Better make your move
With a mic check, things are almost ready to go and it's time to make moves

All the choices you made Influenced by social queues
A reminder that all the choices made could be influenced by the outside world and how others perceive it

Gotta go hard when I Rap like this Gotta go cray when I Rap like this
When rapping like this, the singer has to go hard and crazy to fully express themselves

Gotta be woke like an Activist Tryna keep peace like a pacifist
Making sure to stay woke and aware of issues while still trying to maintain peace and avoid conflict

God bring peace to antagonist There ain't no Help in cannabis
Asking God to help those who are against the singer and acknowledging that drugs cannot fully help someone

It ain't all bright with endless bliss There's some dark with turns and twists
Life isn't always perfect and has its difficulties and challenges

Keep eating your lettuce homie You don't want this Beef
Continue doing what's good for you and avoid unnecessary drama

Can't wait to see what God has Got planned waiting for Me I enjoying living in Freedom But it ain't given for Free
Anticipating what God has planned for the singer but recognizing that freedom comes at a cost

Rappers glorify what they Take But it ain't what it Seems
Rappers glorify what they have but it isn't always as amazing as it seems

I live on a Martin Luther ting I got a list of some dreams
Living like Martin Luther King Jr. and having dreams for the future

And Lately I just want advice Get closer to Christ Getting Kinda Stubborn I don't like to Cry It'll be Alright
Asking for help and guidance while still being stubborn

I got No reason to apologise Keep all those issues in your head Don't wanna hear No Lies
Not apologizing for the way the singer is and not wanting to hear people's lies and issues

I saw my Father by Himself I looked him him in the Eyes Where is the pieces Like the Love is coming in Disguise
Having a moment with the singer's father and feeling like love is not always visibly present

All those Diamonds on your neck Little Boy Keep talking like you know the whole Gang
Dismissing someone who talks big but doesn't know anything about the situation

I'm playing with the Heart Like it's a dirty Old Toy
Playing with people's emotions like a dirty toy

Wonder if the Same Same Who Claim to Be Figures Had to do it for the City But they keep on pulling Triggers
Questioning if famous people really care about their city and criticizing their violent actions

Catch Me in My Lane with colors I be sitting with the Trippers Catch Me In My Lane with Thieves I Be sitting with the Killers
Hanging out with different types of people and not being limited by societal labels

Catch me in the Afternoon Dark sky's Playing Tunes People acting fake Like a show cartoons
Being around fake people while enjoying oneself and listening to music

Take a trip to Space I Be Rapping on the Moon
Taking a metaphorical trip to space and rapping about things that are out of this world

That's the blast from my Jet You can do the maths 30 Diamonds on my Neck
Boasting about one's luxurious lifestyle and wealth

I be in the Gym Lifting Bars, Flex a Peck
Working out and flexing one's muscles in the gym

And if you cant communicate You need to get your Mic Checked
If someone has trouble communicating, they should double check their mic or their approach to speaking
