Lyrics
The lyrics of Mike E. are not only faith driven a social
stand is also given like on the album "Good news for the bad
timez from 1992. In the title song Good news for the bad
timez" he adresses a change of mind for the young
Afro-American males: "A mesage to my brothers you need to
understand. Don't worry about the stuff that happens to the
outter man. The war in the mind goes all the time. [...] So
do a deed, plant a seed, learn to read. And you can feed the
need not to greed. You can be a leader you can pave the
way". The song "Rap & Read"of the same album talks about the
next step to be taken with this new attitude: "Are you
givin' up or are you gonna take control. When you take
control, you can be what you wanna be, life is the door.
Then education is the key. So grab a book and unlock your
future. You don't have to go through your life. Being a
moocher. You can be a lawyer or a brain surgeon."
Dove Awards
In 1992 Mike E. received a Dove award at the GMA Awards
