Lyrical Analysis of...
I AM UNCLE MIKE
- Yo! To some I'm nothing, but to some I'm something.
- So if I'm known for one thing,
- let it not be for rapping dumb things,
- be it for being a good Uncle to my Nieces and Nephews,
- See it's 'cause of them that I haven't left you,
- and keep breathing every breath through.
- Look, back before 2010,
- I had become like the men I called Uncle back when,
- I was a kid, I didn't wanna turn to a bad Uncle like Rick when
- my Dad died back then.
- He showed me no love what so ever,
- I was barely keeping it together.
- He had his chance to help, but he only thought of himself,
- he ignored me and my mental health,
- but I grew up a Hume so I expected nothing else.
- But enough about that jerk, when he saw me hurt,
- he had one job but wouldn't do the work.
- See since February 6, '96, I promised to be a Uncle better than those dicks,
- I'll never become like those prick's. I swore to be an ally in their wars,
- stay one call away to settle scores.
- And I kept my word til I was 24,
- when I lost myself and plenty more.
- See, I was broken to pieces,
- and lost my relationships with my Nephews and Nieces.
- I was lost in a dark life, a pic of my Nieces kept my knife at bay,
- I had a million reasons every day, to end my life and go away,
- but I only needed two reasons to stay.
- First was to get drugs out my way,
- second was seeing those kids one day.
- So in 2010 I tore my life down to rebuild it again.
- Now 8 years later, I've silenced all my haters.
- I'm clean and sober but that fights never over.
- But I'll never fail, let the crack fall like hail,
- no matter the storm I will not bail,
- my life boat won't sink with these kids as my sails.
- It's's been 8 years and I finally beat my fears,
- I'm free and clear, drugs aren't causing me tears,
- I haven't even had liquor or beers for like 5 years.
- I love how my life appears,
- even though I hate looking in mirrors.
- I just hope I look like an Uncle Yo, as well as a psycho,
- so don't fuck with them or Uncle Mike yo.
- Because I'll go back to being the old Mike bro.
- And that's someone I don't like so,
- be careful and don't make Uncle Mike blow.
- Just let me be the calm Uncle Mike
- instead of Mike E the atom bomb.
- This is a long rap, and I doubt you'll read this long crap.
- But like every rap I write it's nothing but dope shit.
- Now this rhyme may be hard to follow line by line,
- you may even think I lost my mind, but if you take the time,
- to read this you'll find, theres no mind like mine.
- So to my Family and Friends,
- you won't regret reading from start to end.
- Well our journeys done,
- and outta all my raps to read it's this one.
- You now know who Uncle Mike is,
- and it's easy to tell there's no Uncle like this........
- The End
