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.

Ayy
Who want it with the kid from the motherland?
Pass daps and the spliff to my brother hand
Can't pick from the dish of another man
I be spending days sick, just wondering
’Member back then, shit, I was stuttering
Looking where the butter
Too, too grown for the other shit
I be hurting, smoking dope, stay numbing it
Want the whole
Do the most for just some of it
A lot of niggas talk shit, don't run with it
Cops skullies and bubbles when the summer end
Potbelly, in trouble with the government
Pop Henny and a double, you can summon him
Drive heavy 'cause we coming
With the luggages who, who, who knows him?
Forget his lyrics when he thinking
Lose focus who wrote this?
Better bring him out the genie bottle, hoping
Must be clinging to this teenie-tiny token
Crib, we chilling
Probably with Medhane smoking
Through the wind beside me, in
It, I be floating, i be floating
Who want it with the kid? Who want it?
Who want it with the kid? Who want it? Who?
Who want it with the kid?
Who want it with the kid?
Who want it with the kid? Uh
Who want it? Who want it with the kid?
Who want it? Who? Who? Who want it?
Who want it with the kid? Who? Who? Who?
With the blood of Jesus
Talk to you in the morning, okay?
Blessings, more blessings to all of you
I ring you guys with the blood of Jesus
Michael, I send you an offer
The blood of Jesus, no stressing
Don’t stress, my baby
It has been done already
The lyrics in the first paragraph delve into Mike's desire to make money and get paid. He expresses confidence in his abilities and challenges anyone who wants to compete with him, referring to himself as a kid from the motherland. He highlights the importance of unity among friends, passing daps (handshakes) and a spliff (joint) to his brother's hand. Mike emphasizes the need to strive for personal success rather than relying on someone else's accomplishments, stating that he can't pick from the dish of another man. Despite facing challenges and feeling lost at times, he reflects on his growth and the progress he has made.
In the second paragraph, Mike acknowledges that he is too mature for trivial matters and chooses to focus on his own well-being and fulfillment. He admits to turning to substances like smoking dope to alleviate pain and numb his emotions. He expresses his desire for success and wanting it all, even if it means doing the most for just a fraction of it. Mike criticizes those who talk big but fail to back it up, contrasting their empty boasts with his own ambition. He also mentions police presence and the trouble they can bring, hinting at the adversities faced by marginalized communities.
The third paragraph shows Mike's introspective thoughts and doubts about his own ability as an artist. He questions himself and wonders who really knows him and his music. He mentions a possible struggle in finding inspiration or focus when writing lyrics. Mike yearns for someone to unlock his creative potential, metaphorically referencing a genie bottle. He feels that his achievements may seem insignificant or negligible to some, symbolized by a "teenie-tiny token." Mike mentions his relaxed state, likely physically and mentally, while chilling in his crib with his friend Medhane and possibly smoking together. He describes a sensation of floating, which can be interpreted as a sense of freedom and detachment from the worries of the world.
The fourth paragraph takes a shift in tone and introduces a different voice or perspective. It seems to be a recording or message from someone offering blessings and positive energy to Mike and his friends. The mention of the blood of Jesus reflects a religious and spiritual context, as the person speaking wants to protect and bless them. They reassure Mike not to stress because everything has already been taken care of. The message conveys a sense of comfort and support, possibly coming from a spiritual advisor or a person offering guidance and prayers.
