Mic check, mic check
Let me know I'm not alone
I'm a witness to this movement
Manhattan to San Anton
We ain't settled on a story yet
'Cuz the conch keeps going 'round
Like Jesse said, we need a gathering
Not just another crowd

Mic check, mic check
You know there's always been a war
Black, white and brown don't wanna scrounge
For table scraps no more
Best come up with what we ask for
Someday always comes too late
You wonder how to do it faster
Allow us to demonstrate

World keeps on swinging, and a mighty arc it makes
So no, I don't know how long a revolution takes
But it's better to burn long than to burn too hot or bright
Brother, leave a light on, we could be here all night

Mic check, mic check
Hey, is this thing even on
Sometimes I can't hear my voice
Been screaming for so long
You say you don't hear a message
But that's 'cuz you've plugged your ears
But I know my brothers and sisters
All receive me loud and clear

Mic check, mic check
Hate to occupy your time
Then again, maybe that's one more thing
You've taken that was mine
You're scared you'll topple from your totem
No, I don't feel bad for you
I know you've got ninety-nine problems
But guess what, we've got problems too

World keeps on swinging, and a mighty arc it makes
So no, I don't know how long a revolution takes
But it's better to be misunderstood than to never make a sound
Sister, bring a blanket, we're sleeping on the ground

Mic check, mic check
Mic check, mic check
