As a highly touted high school Senior at Saint Raphael’s Academy, Stud’s work on the mound earned him Rhode Island’s 2006 Gatorade Player of the Year and Louisville Slugger Player of the Year honors. So when the Duke Blue Devils came knocking, he packed up his .354 batting average and 107 senior season strikeouts and headed to Durham.

But it was the heat Stud was tossing off the field that was raising eyebrows and bobbing heads. It wasn’t until the end of his Junior year that Stud would hone his hidden hip-hop skills. After two strong seasons at Duke, including an All-American Freshman year, Tommy John Surgery put Stud on the sidelines. Suddenly rhyming became an outlet to pass the time. But his flow was too impressive to be overlooked. Stud’s knack for clever rhymes and witty punches caught the attention of his peers and earned the respect of local artists. One in particular, Gerven, quickly noticed Stud’s swagger. One trip to Boston, four tracks and a photo shoot later, the duo launched Mike Stud as we know him. Now a graduate student at Georgetown University, Stud’s taking it day by day–a tough task when your hit single “Club Fantasy” is bumping non-stop on the radio in Providence and soon to be in Boston and D.C.

Bottom line, the kid’s just what his name suggests—-a Stud. Clearly the accomplishments he’s achieved in his life are a testament to his passions. Whether it’s baseball or his academics, Mike Stud has consistently found a way to do things bigger and better than most. With very little musical background, he’s already causing a stir in the industry. Armed with fresh beats and his signature flow, Stud’s bringing a smarter type of fresh to the hip-hop scene. The kid’s got it. Now it’s just a matter of time before everyone knows it.

Show Me / Paranoid
Mike Stud Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I seen two of my bitches in the club
And I know they know about each other
I think these bitches tryna set me up
Maybe I'm just paranoid

Lord have Murciélago, no bullshit I’m in Chicago
Line around the corner, that’s like every place that I go
Nah ho, next stop is Colorado

Getting ten now, but I remember when it was five though
And before that it was one, and before that it was none
Before that, I record that before class for fun
But boy look at me now
Your girl come with us ‘cause she’s bored like a rebound
Can’t blame her though
'Cause Mike'll make her scream louder than a megaphone
And when I take her home, I’m a show her the truth
Now let me tell you all the things that I’m hoping to do

Let me put your panties to the side
I'm a make you feel alright
I'm a give you what you need, yeah
'Cause you remind me of something
I don't know what it is
You remind me of something
You gotta show me

Well fuck that I’m on a spring break visit
Hit PCB for some spring break bitches
But only for the weekend, got a fly ‘fore I’m leaving
Going Florida to Boston, like I’m Mr. Revis
No don’t be hating baby, I don’t need that
She go to Arizona so you know she want the D-back
You should see the girls that I’m fucking with
Fuck a bucket list, I got a fuck-it list
Bitch I’m on some other shit
Making easy money like scholarships
New whip, blacked out like a college chick
So pump me that liquor a little bit quicker
And make sure that it’s strong, come on

'Cause I'm paranoid, I'm trippin'
Been smoking and sippin'
Tryna fuck around with two bitches
'Bout to take ya’ll home and get this
'Cause I'm paranoid, I'm trippin'
Been smoking and sippin'
Tryna fuck right now, turnt up right now, let’s get this
Let’s get it, yeah

'Cause you remind me of a girl, that I once knew
See your face whenever I look at you
Wouldn't believe all of the things she put me through
That’s why you gotta show me

Yeah, yeah, yeah, get your hands up high

Uh, Louis Bell on the track, whattup though
It’s Mike Stud homie
