1. MIKE (born Michael Jordan Bonema on October 13th, 1998) is a rapper originally from New Jersey but currently based out of New York City. He usually drops his projects on either of the solstices (June 21st or December 21st) each year.
2. MIKE is a punk rock band from Stockholm, Sweden.
MIKE started in January 2006 by Joel, Fredrik, Viktor and Jesper. The four guys from the southern part of Stockholm/Sweden had all played in different bands for years. Back in 1996 Viktor started a band called No Division with a friend. Jesper joined the band in 2000 (then called Pronoid), where they both played for five years. Joel played in the band Dechas, who released an EP on DayGlo Records in 2000 and an album on Shutdown Records in Australia in 2002. Fredrik had been playing in the band In Memory Of Me and in different bands before that. Jesper and Joel played together from time to time for a while and they both love punk rock, and when Jesper quit Pronoid they started talking about playing punk together. They talked to their old friends Viktor and Fredrik and started jamming some of Jespers songs and the result is what today is known as the band MIKE. After about a year our good friend Fredrik decided to quit the band to play with a reggae band from Uppsala. We then tried out two drummers but decided to pick one of Joel's old friends, Totte. He'd earlier been the drummer in bands like Milk bar, Devoured, Songea and Simpleton. Experience and routine was a fact. He'd actually only been in the band for about a week when he performed his first show with MIKE, and a week after that we went into the studio to record a couple of songs.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Smoke 'til my brains fry
These demons tryna take a nigga life, tryna play god
Crack flow, I'm talking 8-ball
On my Ps and Qs, see my enemies on the radar
Proud black like my nigga Akon
Mike Tyson flow, take your face off
I go hard for a living, I go long, I go the distance
Play my role, running back my position
Hit the ho like L'avion, I got 'em missing
Haven't seen mama, yeah, I miss her
The love unconditional, she brought me in the desert
Blessed me with a brother and two sisters
Yeah, yeah, gotta leave my mom before I leave Earth
Killed the old me, then I rebirth
Find the true knowledge through research
Third eye open, smoking reefer
Yeah, yeah
Walk with my feet in the mud
It's difficult to talk while all I see is disgust
Miserable, this heavy when I'm bringing it up
Playing closet, wasn't dealing with love
Made scars, I been dealing with cuts
I heard they shoot 'em like stars or they land in the clubs
I maneuver, en garde, and the planet is sus
Niggas been planning, what's up?
Too many messages, abandoned for months
I tried managing, but honestly, my managing sucks
This depression been damaging trust
I be worried 'bout my feats before I scavenge for bucks
Uh, who handing up, you niggas manic and stuck, uh
One, two, three
