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.

Mike Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eating all summer wasn't frail in the winter
Need meat around them bones when the
Hale come to hit cha
Spells from the witch looking
Pale in the picture
Trails from the stench lead your
Tail to the center
In a spinner, slinging shells at a villain
Phone fulla numbers that I fail to remember
Holy with the bars, I raised hell in December
Just a little bit of must
Fist riddled full of cuts
Burning in the midsummer sun
Just a little bit of must
Fist riddled full of cuts
Burning in the midsummer sun
It's like im one feet beneath my goals
One feet to hit the ball and reach the goal
Dumb sheep the type to follow for your gold
The shit turn to glitter when
It swallow up your soul
It sucks being hollow being broke
Questioning your future but
Tomorrow never knows
My heart is something borrowed from my home
I faced all them sorrows all alone
Faith been a product of my own
I been barking for a bone i'm a dog
And I'm dark in the dark
If I don't' go to purchase
Imma purchase it all
Spit from the lungs till it hurt when i cough
Learnt from the courts where I
Learnt how to ball learnt how to judge
Then I learnt how to fall
You was burning bridges
We was burning the law
Searching for the sermon in the songs
You burglarized art then you murder my dogs
Imma bird in the night, as I fly in the fog
Spending my time getting lost
Hitting the mic on my jaw
Dribbling light in the fourth
Quarter to buy me a slice or a bar
I put myself in this war
You put yourself in this war
My parents did nothing at
My knuckles they bleeding from walls
My knuckles they bleeding from war
Don't put yourself in this war
I put myself in this
My knuckles they bleeding from walls
My knuckles they bleeding from war
My parents did nothing at all
My parents did nothing at
You put yourself in this war
I put myself in this
You put yourself in this war
My parents did nothing at, ay
The lyrics of the song "Child Soldiers" by Mike delve into themes of struggle, resilience, and self-reflection. The opening lines express a visceral disgust and discomfort, possibly with a toxic or stifling environment represented by the smell being mentioned. The imagery of needing "meat around them bones" when facing challenges emphasizes the need for strength and substance to endure difficult times, symbolized by the harsh winter. The mention of Christian Bale and slinging shells at a villain can be seen as a reference to fighting against forces of oppression or evil.
As the lyrics progress, there is a sense of defiance and perseverance in the face of adversity. The repetition of "just a little bit of must, fist riddled full of cuts, burning in the midsummer sun" seems to capture a feeling of enduring pain and hardship, juxtaposed with the heat of summer symbolizing a harsh reality. The references to being one step away from achieving goals and facing internal struggles, such as feeling hollow and questioning the future, reflect a sense of inner turmoil and longing for fulfillment.
The lyrics also touch on themes of betrayal and loss, with lines such as "you burglarized art then you murder my dogs" suggesting a sense of betrayal and destruction of trust. The image of being a "bird in the night" conveys a sense of freedom and resilience in the face of darkness and uncertainty. There is a strong sense of personal agency and accountability throughout the lyrics, with references to putting oneself in a war and taking ownership of one's struggles and experiences.
The repeated references to bleeding knuckles and the absence of parental support evoke a sense of pain, isolation, and self-reliance. The refrain of "My parents did nothing at all" underscores a feeling of abandonment or lack of guidance, further highlighting the individual's journey towards self-discovery and resilience. The overall tone of the lyrics suggests a complex narrative of struggle, defiance, and introspection, with the artist grappling with personal demons and societal challenges while asserting their strength and resilience in the face of adversity.

I can't even stand the smell of you
I am repulsed by your presence and everything you represent
Eating all summer wasn't frail in the winter
Surviving in the summer was easier than enduring the harsh winter
Need meat around them bones when the Hale come to hit cha
It's vital to have strength and support when facing difficult times
Spells from the witch looking Pale in the picture
Deceptive actions and people may appear innocent at first glance
Trails from the stench lead your Tail to the center
Following the signs of corruption leads to a dangerous path
I never bail, I'm a winner, Christian Bale
I never give up, always strive for success like the actor Christian Bale
In a spinner, slinging shells at a villain
Engaged in a fast-paced battle with adversaries
Phone fulla numbers that I fail to remember
Having connections and resources that are easily forgotten or lost
Holy with the bars, I raised hell in December
Despite being righteous, I caused chaos and trouble in December
Just a little bit of must
A small amount of necessity or essence
Fist riddled full of cuts
Hands scarred from fighting and hardship
Burning in the midsummer sun
Enduring intense suffering during the hottest time of year
It's like im one feet beneath my goals
Feeling just slightly short of achieving my aspirations
One feet to hit the ball and reach the goal
Almost there, one step away from success
Dumb sheep the type to follow for your gold
Naive followers who seek material wealth
The shit turn to glitter when It swallow up your soul
Material gains can mask the true cost to your soul
It sucks being hollow being broke
Feeling empty and impoverished is difficult to bear
Questioning your future but Tomorrow never knows
Uncertainty about the future is a constant struggle
My heart is something borrowed from my home
My emotions are influenced by my upbringing and past experiences
I faced all them sorrows all alone
Dealing with all my hardships and grief by myself
Faith been a product of my own
My belief system is a result of my own experiences and reflections
I been barking for a bone i'm a dog
Desperately seeking validation and support, like a loyal dog
And I'm dark in the dark
Struggling with inner darkness and shadows
If I don't' go to purchase Imma purchase it all
If I don't go after what I want, I will regret missing out on everything
Spit from the lungs till it hurt when i cough
Speak passionately and forcefully, even if it causes discomfort
Learnt from the courts where I Learnt how to ball learnt how to judge
Gained valuable lessons and skills from experiences in challenging situations
Then I learnt how to fall
Learned the hard way through failure and setbacks
You was burning bridges
You were destroying relationships and opportunities
We was burning the law
We were challenging and breaking the rules or norms
Searching for the sermon in the songs
Looking for meaning or guidance in music and art
You burglarized art then you murder my dogs
You stole or corrupted creative expression and betrayed my loyalty
Spending my time getting lost
Investing my energy in wandering aimlessly or feeling confused
Hitting the mic on my jaw
Giving my all in performing and expressing myself through music
Dribbling light in the fourth
Showing flashes of talent or potential in critical moments
Quarter to buy me a slice or a bar
Endeavoring to earn enough to afford basic necessities or luxuries
I put myself in this war
I willingly entered into this conflict or struggle
My knuckles they bleeding from walls
My hands are injured and bloodied from fighting back against obstacles
My parents did nothing at all
My family failed to provide support or intervene in my difficulties
