Go on
And make your move
Life waits for no one
No one
They sell you
Til' you’re no more
The cycle repeats
Again and again
I’ve been right
I’ve been wrong
I’ve been twisted
And turned
I’ve been questioned
Here I stand
Blood and bone
I’ve been down
I’ve been out
I’ve been thinking
What it means to me
Yeah
I stand
Blood and bone
In due time
I’ll have seen it through
It all starts within
Yeah you know
I’ve been right
I’ve been wrong
I’ve been twisted
And turned

Here I stand
Blood and bone

Overall Meaning

In "Bones," M.I.K.E. explores the cyclical nature of life and the struggles and challenges that come with it. The opening lines encourage listeners to take action and make a move, as life waits for no one. The lyrics tell of being sold until there is nothing left, before the cycle repeats itself over and over again.


The following lines depict the personal battles one may experience, having been right and wrong, twisted and turned, and questioned before standing strong in their convictions. The repetition of "blood and bone" emphasizes the rawness and tangible nature of the struggles faced.


The final lines convey a sense of perseverance and growth, acknowledging that everything starts from within oneself. "In due time, I'll have seen it through" indicates that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and through it all, one emerges stronger and wiser.

these are my cousins. I am so proud of them, they are trying to get big. and all the haters can stop because they are actually trying to do something with themselves. I haven't seen them in like 5 years , because they are so busy. but for everyone who supports them, I thank you sooo much. 💖
