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 ↴
I'm on a wave, nigga, I can never wait
Niggas slimy as the lake
You get the picture? I'm the frame
Can't be hanging 'round with fake niggas
Papa said the same
Me and sober left me open
Sprinkle grabba in the dank
Can't be guaping to the bank
I been running 'way from deserts
Putting problems on my name
Know they know me, I'm a problem on the page
Navigated to the gates
You couldn't follow up the pace
Putting garbage in your face, I pee
I swallow the debate no debate
Y'all ate the product off the
Plate on the pavement
See, a nigga like me never change
I'm on the same shit
Picking up the knowledge out of state
This shit amazing could've went to college
But I flaked to get this payment
Forever on vacation, on vacation
In Mike's song "BREATHE GOOD," he captures a sense of self-assurance and independence as he rides a metaphorical wave, confidently moving forward without waiting for anyone else. He compares the sliminess of some individuals to that of a lake, emphasizing his preference for authenticity and genuine connections. He sees himself as the frame that cannot be tainted by association with fake people, echoing the advice his father had given him.
The mention of being open and leaving drama behind hints at a personal transformation or growth. Adding "grabba" (a type of tobacco) to the "dank" (good quality cannabis) suggests a laid-back and carefree attitude. Mike emphasizes the importance of not solely chasing money but also striving to escape any problems or negativity that may be hindering his progress. He recognizes that he possesses a certain level of notoriety ("they know me") and admits to being a problem, potentially referring to his unapologetic nature or his boldness.
Mike takes pride in his ability to navigate his own path and challenges others to keep up with his pace. He believes that consuming subpar content or accepting mediocrity is akin to having garbage forced upon oneself. He confidently swallows any debates or criticism thrown his way, refusing to engage in unnecessary arguments. He acknowledges that he could have pursued a traditional education, but acknowledges he chose a different path, possibly one focused on his artistry and creating a sustainable income. Overall, the song conveys a sense of liberation, the joy of escaping the mundane, and the determination to forge one's own path.
