Not for Mike Petrone, whose breakthrough record "Crank It" is heating up the streets of his native Atlanta on the strength of spitfire verses and an insanely catchy hook.

The independent release of the epic LP "The Last Hundred Yards" is just the most recent accomplishment from this multifaceted individual who served two tours in Iraq, was wounded twice, and received his Purple Heart, all before the age of 22. The remarkable story of how Petrone received his Purple Heart is detailed in his music video for his song "Baghdad" (www.mikepetronemusic.com) which was filmed overseas during Petrone's second tour in Iraq.

Authenticity is a prevalent theme from this artist who chose to skip a rap moniker and use his government name. The buzz about Mike Petrone is hard to contain. Already, he has been featured on Fox News, Fort Benning TV, VH1, and various other media outlets. His debut single "Crank It" is additionally featured on To the Fallen Records Hip Hop's Volume 2. He has performed in countless venues nation wide and always dazzles his audience with energetic, electrifying live shows.

Petrone is frank and humble about his talent and his place in the rap landscape, "I've always been a fan of hip-hop first, and an artist second. Even if I quit rapping today, I'll still be a fan tomorrow!" Perhaps risking his safety everyday and watching comrade's fall has undeniably inspired Petrone's modesty, maturity, and passion for life…or maybe he was just born to "CRANK IT!!!"

Never Forget
Mike Petrone Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You ask me if there'll come a time
When I grow tired of you
Never my love
Never my love

You wonder if this heart of mine
Will lose its desire for you
Never my love

Never my love

What makes you think love will end
When you know that my whole life depends
On you (on you)

Never my love
Never my love

You say you fear I'll change my mind
And I won't require you
Never my love
Never my love

How can you think love will end

When I've asked you to spend your whole life
With me (with me, with me)
