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.
You Already Know
Mike Stud Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could tell you what it's like, but you already know
I could tell you about these women, you already know
I could tell you how I'm living, you already know
You already know
You already know
You already know
Getting paid just to kick it, Ronaldinho
That's like every motherfucking city we go
Screaming out "fuck you" like I'm Cee-Lo
Oh that's just me though
And I'm just living mine, I ain't got time to be mad at you
You ain't running shit, you got less miles than Baton Rouge
And haters gonna hate, even when they know it's hot
Crowd so fucking big that it look Photoshopped
Homie, but you know it's not
This life so real that it seem fake
Spend the night, have the time of your life like Green Day
And you already know that all these girlies love me
She suck me and she fuck me and she the one that feel lucky
I'm a motherfucking killer, don't be mad at the man
Name a motherfucker realer, don't be mad when you can't
I live every line I write and never made an exception
Started getting paid, they started paying attention
That's real
See I could tell you about my life, but you already know
I could tell you what it's like, but you already know
I could tell you about these women, you already know
I could tell you how I'm living, you already know
You already know
You already know
You already know
Yeah, that's just how it goes though
Hardly local, man I got a crib on both coasts
Catch me riding through the city down in SoHo
Got all these bad bitches in my phone though
But you already know though
I'm ready to blow so, I never got it on safety
Whip all black, Donald Sterling would hate me
And I ain't sign nothing, the rumors are mistaken
Labels wanna hit, well shit I got about eight of them
Lawyers on beast mode, ain't nobody playing him
Fuck a single, bitch, I'm about to hit it out the stadium
So let me show you what I've been on, crossover like Iverson
I'm getting faded on the flight, call me Denzel
And they can't believe I'm white, Johnny Manziel
I pray they get well
And is it just me, or is it just me?
And that's just how I feel, you know the deal already
See I could tell you about my life, but you already know
I could tell you what it's like, but you already know
I could tell you about these women, you already know
I could tell you how I'm living, you already know
You already know
You already know
You already know
In the song "You Outta' Know" by Mike Stud feat. Gate City Squad, the artist is acknowledging that his audience is already quite familiar with his life and the things he raps about. He references his success, the women he encounters, and the lavish lifestyle he leads, but he isn't telling his audience anything they haven't already heard or assumed. In the chorus, he repeats the phrase "you already know" to emphasize this point.
Stud goes on to boast about his success and fame, claiming that he and his team are getting paid to party in various cities all over the world. He doesn't have time to waste on negative people or those who doubt him. He also addresses the rumors about him and his alleged record label deals, but he isn't signing anything until the right opportunity comes along.
Overall, the message of this song is that Mike Stud is confident and unapologetic about who he is and what he stands for. He's living his best life and making the most of his fame and success. Despite any naysayers or setbacks, he's determined to keep moving forward and making music that resonates with his audience.

Getting paid just to kick it, Ronaldinho
I'm able to make money while still having fun, like the soccer player Ronaldinho
That's like every motherfucking city we go
This happens in every city we visit
Screaming out "fuck you" like I'm Cee-Lo
I'm yelling insults like the rapper Cee-Lo Green
Oh that's just me though
I act a certain way because that's who I am
And I'm just living mine, I ain't got time to be mad at you
I focus on my own life and don't have time to be angry with you

That's real
That's the truth
Yeah, that's just how it goes though
That's just how life is sometimes
Hardly local, man I got a crib on both coasts
I'm not just based in one area, I have homes on both sides of the country
Catch me riding through the city down in SoHo
I can be found driving around in the trendy New York neighborhood of SoHo
Got all these bad bitches in my phone though
I have numerous attractive women's phone numbers in my contact list
But you already know though
Again, restating that the listener is already aware of this fact
I'm ready to blow so, I never got it on safety
I'm poised for success, so I'm taking risks and not playing it safe
Whip all black, Donald Sterling would hate me
My car is completely black, which would upset the famously racist basketball team owner Donald Sterling
And I ain't sign nothing, the rumors are mistaken
I haven't signed any contracts and the rumors are incorrect
Labels wanna hit, well shit I got about eight of them
Multiple record labels are interested in working with me
Lawyers on beast mode, ain't nobody playing him
My legal team is aggressive and not to be messed with
Fuck a single, bitch, I'm about to hit it out the stadium
I don't care about just releasing singles, I'm going to make a big impact with my next project
So let me show you what I've been on, crossover like Iverson
I want to demonstrate what I've been working on, using a basketball analogy of Allen Iverson's signature move
I'm getting faded on the flight, call me Denzel
I'm drinking alcohol on the airplane, like the character Denzel Washington played in the movie Flight
And they can't believe I'm white, Johnny Manziel
People are surprised that I'm white, similar to the reaction to the white football player Johnny Manziel
I pray they get well
I hope that those wishing me ill will recover and be healthy
And is it just me, or is it just me?
Am I the only one thinking this, or is it obvious to everyone?
And that's just how I feel, you know the deal already
This is honestly how I think and you're already aware of it
