Mike. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

PCH drivin'
I needed some inspirin'
Peace and quiet
I'm runnin' from the sirens
They ain't been around
But they know about where I've been
Had to put the time in
To let 'em know what time it is

Fuck a plug, you don't need it when you plugged in
They know it's us, we don't need no introduction (yeah)
It's just us, we don't need no one for nothin' (nothin', I don't)
But it's always somethin'
Skippin' town 'cause I really can't be around it
Sometimes the only way to go is right around it
Had some shit to say, I didn't like the way it sounded
So I left it where I found it (yeah)

Why stop now?
Why stop now? (no)
Not my style
Not my style (yeah)
Drop top down
That's my style
Why stop now?
Baby, why stop now?

PCH drivin'
I needed some inspirin'
Peace and quiet
I'm runnin' from the sirens
They ain't been around
But they know about where I've been
Had to put the time in
To let 'em know what time it is

Got that in common
We all feel the pressure
Bitch, I'm plugged in
Yeah, the vibe is electric
In a room full of Carmens
They all tryna sex me
Feel like Dennis Rodman in 1997

You ready? (You ready?)

I don't do this but I do tonight (I do, hey)
Eat that pussy like it's food tonight (sheesh, yeah)
They don't love me but it's cool tonight (yeah, yeah)
I like to keep it loose but keep the moves tight (uh), you was right
Runnin' numbers up, I'm shootin' dice, fuck a suit and tie
I'm loosey goosey but the moves are tight (yeah)
Louis slippers never slippin', I just let it slide
I was on your side 'til you grouped me with these other guys (sheesh)
Hand on the blunt, I ain't done
Here come the sun, hair up in a bun, yeah, yeah
And I like what I see, she a freak
Say she only really do this shit for me
That's a cap (that's cap)

PCH drivin'
I needed some inspirin'
Peace and quiet
I'm runnin' from the sirens
They ain't been around
But they know about where I've been
Had to put the time in
To let 'em know what time it is

Got that in common
We all feel the pressure
Bitch, I'm plugged in
Yeah, the vibe is electric
In a room full of Carmens
They all tryna sex me
Feel like Dennis Rodman in 1997

And it's all good blood, all good blood
All good blood I spilled
All good blood, it's all good blood
It's all good blood
It's all good blood, all good blood
All good blood I spilled
All good blood, it's all good blood

And it's all good blood, all good blood
All good blood I spilled
All good blood, it's all good blood
It's all good blood
All good blood, all good blood
All good blood I spilled




All good blood, it's all good blood
It's all good blood

Overall Meaning

In "Rodman," Mike. takes a drive down the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) to seek inspiration and escape from the pressures of life. He's running away from the sirens, symbolizing the negative influences and distractions of the world. Despite trying to distance himself from these forces, they still know where he's been and what he's been through.


Mike. emphasizes his self-sufficiency in the song, rejecting the idea of needing a "plug" or someone else's help to succeed. He and his crew are confident in their talents and don't need external validation. However, even though they don't need anyone for anything, there always seems to be something that comes up, and sometimes they have to skip town to avoid it. The chorus emphasizes this sentiment: "Why stop now? Not my style. Drop top down. That's my style. Baby, why stop now?"


Throughout the song, Mike. weaves in basketball references, particularly to Dennis Rodman, a controversial and unconventional player who won multiple NBA championships in the late 90s. Mike. feels like Rodman in 1997: misunderstood, scrutinized, and surrounded by people who want something from him. The song juxtaposes this later with a cutaway to a seductive encounter, where Mike. takes on a "loosey goosey" attitude and asserts his dominance with seductive prowess.


Overall, Mike.'s "Rodman" is a song about seeking inspiration and freedom, rejecting societal pressures, and embracing individuality and self-confidence.
