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.
