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 ↴
Iz u stupid?
Iz U stupid, it’s not an exchange
A lot for a day
I'ma prove that he not what he say
But the truth is I had to escape
I just knew it ain’t again
Niggas choosin the size of their chain
When they do yeah it add to the pain
Said it's cool, they was bashing my name
Lace my shoes and I’m smacking the paint
I produce, as a rapper acclaimed
Even few making cash from the fame
Tried to snoop and got trapped in the cage
I refuse 'cause I had it with snakes
I’m on rooms and I’m chatting away
Don’t confuse, if it’s static it’s straight
There was food, you ain't ask if I ate
Bigger moves now you matching the plate
It was cruel what had happened to fate
Where was you when I sat in the rain?
Iz u stupid or lacking a brain? Uh, uhh
What anger forgave
But it’s true if it happened again
Iz u stupid? Uh
Iz u stupid or lacking a brain?
Uh anger forgive
But it’s true is happened again uh
In the song "Iz u Stupid" by Mike, the lyrics delve into themes of authenticity, escape, and betrayal. The repeated question "Iz u stupid?" serves as a rhetorical challenge, questioning the intelligence of those who may doubt or underestimate the singer.
The lyrics suggest that the singer is determined to prove someone's lack of authenticity, stating "I'ma prove that he not what he say." The singer has a strong belief in their own abilities and the truth they possess, emphasizing that they had to escape from a situation they found suffocating. This escape signifies a desire to distance themselves from individuals or circumstances that do not align with their true self.
The second half of the song touches on the hurt caused by others' actions. The lyrics mention how some people prioritize material possessions, such as chains, and how these choices add to the singer's pain. The lyrics also allude to others bashing the singer's name, but they remain resolute, focusing on their own growth and success as a rapper, even making money from their fame.
Overall, "Iz u Stupid" conveys a sense of defiance and determination, as well as a desire for validation and recognition of one's true self in the face of doubters and detractors.

Hey, listen up
Iz u stupid?
Are you lacking intelligence?
Iz U stupid, it’s not an exchange
Being stupid is not a fair trade
A lot for a day
Dealing with many challenges every day
I'ma prove that he not what he say
I will show that he is not truthful
But the truth is I had to escape
In reality, I had to run away
I just knew it ain’t again
I was certain it wouldn't happen again
For the loot I’m a magnet, it came
Money is drawn to me
Niggas choosin the size of their chain
People prioritizing material possessions like chains
When they do yeah it add to the pain
Their actions increase the suffering
Said it's cool, they was bashing my name
I pretended it was fine while they were criticizing me
Lace my shoes and I’m smacking the paint
I'm getting ready and confidently facing challenges
I produce, as a rapper acclaimed
I create music and gain recognition as a rapper
Even few making cash from the fame
Only a few benefit financially from fame
Tried to snoop and got trapped in the cage
Those who tried to investigate got caught up in problems
I refuse 'cause I had it with snakes
I reject associating with backstabbing individuals
I’m on rooms and I’m chatting away
I am in different spaces and engaging in conversations
Don’t confuse, if it’s static it’s straight
Do not mix up things, if there's conflict it's clear
There was food, you ain't ask if I ate
There were opportunities, but you never checked if I took advantage
Bigger moves now you matching the plate
Now I'm making significant progress, and you're catching up
It was cruel what had happened to fate
The events that affected destiny were harsh
Where was you when I sat in the rain?
Where were you when I was going through difficult times?
Iz u stupid or lacking a brain? Uh, uhh
Are you unintelligent or brainless?
What anger forgave
The anger was let go
But it’s true if it happened again
But it's true if it were to occur once more
Iz u stupid? Uh
Are you dumb?
Iz u stupid or lacking a brain?
Are you unintelligent or brainless?
Uh anger forgive
Anger, forgive
But it’s true is happened again uh
But it's true if it were to occur once more
