Michael Byron "Mike" Nifong (born September 14, 1950) is a former North Carolina attorney. He was the district attorney for Durham County, North Carolina (the state's 14th Prosecutorial District) but was removed, disbarred and jailed following court findings concerning his conduct in the 2006 Duke University lacrosse case. Several criminal justice bills passed by the North Carolina legislature later that same year are believed to have been generated by Nifong's actions in the Duke lacrosse case.
Nifong was born in Wilmington, North Carolina, and graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) in 1971 with a degree in political science. He registered as a conscientious objector during the Vietnam War era and participated in anti-war protests. After working as a teacher and social worker, he returned to UNC in 1975 and earned a law degree from the University of North Carolina School of Law in 1978. He was admitted to the North Carolina bar.
New fang, no thang.
Had it made, to parade
Found a sucker now I want another.
Stand up, step aside, open wide.
Hanging out and on until the feeling's gone.
Want to? Yes, I do. Want to learn
Taking turns getting carpet burns.
Loose lips, lipstick spit. Come and go
I think it's both, I gotta know
Sometimes you break a finger on the upper hand.
I think you've got me confused for a better man.
Sometimes you break a finger on the upper hand.
Said you got me confused, ah.
I ain't a better man...
No slack, Cadillac, couldn't quit.
Gums flap, so, here's your teeth back.
Accept what I left far behind
In a time when my mind was like land-mine.
Tailgate by the lake, too much, too young
Every button's gonna come undone
Tightrope, no joke.There's nothing left
So you've gone baroque.
Sometimes you break a finger on the upper hand.
Said you've got me confused with a better man.
Sometimes you break a finger on the upper hand.
Know you got me confused.
New fang passing over.
No more waiting around, no.
New fang passing over.
No more waiting around, no.
New fang, new fang.
Ain't gonna wait, no.
New fang, new, ah.
