I Met Kanye ((8-31-2016) [Live in Minneapolis])

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 set 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

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"
