Artist: Mike Posner & The Legendary Mike Posner Band Album: i was born in detroit on a very very very very very very very cold day Song: I Met Kanye Typed by: AZ Lyrics When I was 21 I met Kanye I was really excited because I was a struggling musician He was one of my heroes And I knew if he liked my music he could change my life My friend Big Sean introduced us Then Sean played him a song of mine "Kanye, this is Mike. He made the song you just heard" And he said, "Cool!" and gave me a fist bump Awkward silence ensued So I said, "did you like it?" He said to me, "no" And he wasn't being mean he was just being honest He's not the kind of guy to tell you he likes something when he doesn't think it's good And I must have been wearing my broken heart on my face Because he said to me, "sorry, sorry man" Sean bumped it, you said it, I had to spike it And in that moment all I wanted to do was make more music I couldn't wait So that's exactly what I did It lit a fire up in me It lit a fire up in me It lit a fire up in me And no setback No hater hiding behind a keyboard No member of the press No sickness in the family No bodily injury No bad day Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing could ever burn out Massey's on my side, it's my turn now We're going straight to the top boys Buckle them seatbelts, hop on this back right here I don't need help I didn't come here to tell you that I can do some things that you can't do I didn't come to change you I came to tell you that if you look deep enough inside, underneath the curfews, perfumes, etc. I bet you'd find a flame too I want to thank you for having us We're the Mike Posner Band Oh yeah, and I saw Kanye a few years later at the EMAs And he said, "Mike Posner, I really like some of your songs"
