I Need Mike

I Need Mike

Intro / Hook (first 30 sec)

Everybody’s got somebody

They call when it ain’t alright

Some folks pray, some folks drink

Me? I need Mike

Mike wore clean shoes, I wore red dirt

He loved city lights, I loved hard work

Different lanes, same hard nights

Same blood, same fight

Everybody’s got somebody

When the dark hits late at night

I don’t need fixing, I don’t need time

I don’t need answers why

Everybody’s got somebody

Yeah…

I need Mike

Verse 1

Mike knew crowds, I knew quiet roads

He liked fast talk, I moved slow

But music hit us both the same

Same songs playing through the pain

Four years older, stood in front

When things got heavy, he took the punch

Didn’t say much, just stayed close

That’s how brothers do the most

Chorus (Main Hook)

Everybody needs somebody

When the weight don’t feel right

Some folks heal, some forget

Me? I need Mike

I don’t need peace, I don’t need signs

I don’t need heaven on my side

Everybody needs somebody

And I need Mike

Verse 2

We grew up fast, learned grief young

Carried stuff we never spoke of

He had my back, no matter what

Even when I messed it up

City dreams and country ways

Different plans, same bad days

If the world came hard my way

Mike would step in, no delay

Chorus (repeat)

Everybody needs somebody

When the night won’t end

Some folks run, some pretend

Me? I need Mike

I don’t need fixing, I don’t need time

I don’t need another reason why

Everybody needs somebody

And I need Mike

Verse 3 (Turn)

Pills don’t care who you love

They don’t feel the weight of us

One bad night, one wrong dose

Left a hole where my brother was

Now every song feels unfinished

Every win don’t hit the same

‘Cause the first voice I’d call for

Ain’t answering my name

Bridge (short, quotable)

If love could save you, you’d still be here

If heart beat death, you’d still draw breath

Final Chorus (Lift + Loopable)

Everybody needs somebody

When the world goes quiet at night

Some folks move on, some survive

Me? I need Mike

I don’t need saving, I don’t need time

I don’t need closure, I need my life

Everybody needs somebody

And I need Mike

Outro (TikTok End Line)

Everybody’s got somebody…

I need Mike.
