But it was the heat Stud was tossing off the field that was raising eyebrows and bobbing heads. It wasnβt 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. Studβs 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 Studβs 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, Studβs taking it day by dayβa tough task when your hit single βClub Fantasyβ is bumping non-stop on the radio in Providence and soon to be in Boston and D.C.
Bottom line, the kidβs just what his name suggestsβ-a Stud. Clearly the accomplishments heβs achieved in his life are a testament to his passions. Whether itβs baseball or his academics, Mike Stud has consistently found a way to do things bigger and better than most. With very little musical background, heβs already causing a stir in the industry. Armed with fresh beats and his signature flow, Studβs bringing a smarter type of fresh to the hip-hop scene. The kidβs got it. Now itβs just a matter of time before everyone knows it.

Mike Stud Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Usually I like to kick it, do the Liu Kang
Every night, living life out a suitcase
Too many voices in my head to hear what you saying
That's why I'm swimming in this liquor like a pool day
That's why I'm flying out to Vegas on a Tuesday
Yeah, I might catch a couple L's but I'm Cool J
You never know just like the shoes say, a new wave I am on
Wonder where my mind has gone
Every time I write a song, I feel like I right a wrong
I keep running right in place, might as well enjoy the chase
Wish I knew back then, what I know right now (What I know now)
So fresh, but I dress how I wanna
Made a name, made my way to California
Even pay, and I get it how I wanna, wanna
Yeah, tell me what you need, huh
Maybe something just a little bit stronger
Bad bitch who smoke all alone, yeah
All for it, all for the paranoia, ah yeah
Tell me what you need, huh
Nah, I ain't over the top with all these things I got
Only way I know because the work don't stop
Going up these levels but there ain't no top
I've been there, I've done it, it's never enough
Nah, I ain't switch up, oh no
Never change my plans
Thinking about maΓ±ana, never show my hand
Keep my face on poker, every day I show up
Know I got it now, fuck you talking 'bout, get up outta my way
If I said it I meant it, ain't no discussion
And the smartest thing I ever said was nothing
Yeah, you gon' see, ain't nothing left to do but me
Wish I knew back then what I know right now (What I know now)
So fresh, but I dress how I wanna
Made a name, made my way to California
Even pay, and I get it how I wanna, wanna
Yeah, tell me what you need, huh
Maybe something just a little bit stronger
Bad bitch who smoke all alone, yeah
All for it, all for the paranoia, ah yeah
Tell me what you need, huh
Tell me what you-
Tell, tell me what you need
Tell me what you, tell me what you-
(Every night, living life)
(Too many voices in my head)
