Mic Check

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I let you talk and eventhough you over-react

I try to listen, didn't give you any feedback

Everytime I tell you what I need, you don't care how much I bleed

Am I coming through, check, 1 2, 1 2

Down to the wire, you're over looking the red lights (Lights)

And every little issue is amplified

I'm feelin' unheard, act like reverb

Coming from my tears, over you, 1 2, 1 2

Turn it up one notch (One notch) Hit the bus

Better listen up, better listen up

Cause it's over ahead of him tired of keeping it down

Not gonna bottle it up, you're about to hear me (Ohh)

Mic check c'mon,

Mic check 1 2 c'mon

Get the bottle round,

I'm 'bout to bounce

Baby I'm out,

Can you hear my now

Mic check c'mon,

mic check 1 2 c'mon

Get the bottle round,

I'm 'bout to bounce

Baby I'm out,

Glad you hear my now

You cut me of 'fore I started I'm not gonna run it back

You told me I had given you static and I mean that

And after that I gave you clues, now I'm blowing a fuse

Am I getting through,

check 1 2, 1 2

Sike, read my facial expressions see how I'm pulling back (Pulling back)

You say I'm tripping betchu like me to believe that

Gotta stay in my ground

Yep, stubborn and I'm proud

Am I getting through, check 1 2, 1 2

(chorus)

(Akon):

You said I switched that up, I stick it to the game plan

Now you're talking down on me like I'm rain man

Feel like I'm acting a fool, I'm tryna keep it cool

Whatchu expect me to do?

Check 1 2, 1 2

I let your speakers bump, turn up the volume

I heard you loud and clear, babygirl it's all you

So if you wanna leave, baby there's the door

I ain't gonna hold you here if you really wanna go

I'ma leave that whip, kick rocks, take the bus

Better hurry up, better hurry up

So if you need your space, baby that's whats up

I'ma need my place, baby get your stuff.

(chorus)
