Michael Allen (January 19, 1976 – April 20, 2008), better known as VL Mike, was an American rap artist from New Orleans, Louisiana.
He first appeared on the mainstream rap scene in 2004 as a member of the New Orleans-based record label, Chopper City Records, of which rapper B.G. is the CEO. Mike was known for his gangsta rhyme structure and street lyrics throughout New Orleans. After the 2007 release of the Chopper City Boyz, We Got This debut album, VL Mike departed from Chopper City Records and set out to pursue his solo career. VL Mike stated on his Place Yo Betz mixtape that the reason he departed from the label was because B.G. had been portraying himself as a gangster for years through his music when he was not. VL Mike stated in a recent interview that he had a deal with Sony/Epic Records and his debut album, It's Only One Me, would be released in April.
Michael Allen died on April 20, 2008, after he was shot several times while exiting his vehicle on the 4700 block of Miles Drive at around 1:00 p.m. Mike was taken to University Hospital where he was later pronounced dead. The assailant is believed to have escaped on foot.
Darling denise
You're frustrating me
Complicating my dreams
Like wind through the leaves
You're shaking my knees
Yes i firmly believe
I've fallen for thee
They told me to turn fast and run
All of those men now just skeletons
Who died at your feet
But of course i'm as dumb as they come
I wanted to meet you, to hold you,
To claim you for me
Oh desire is cheap
Oh but it's more now i see
Darling denise
You're frustrating me
Complicating my dreams
Like wind through the leaves
You're shaking my knees
Yes i firmly believe
I've fallen for thee
Like a statue in a temple in a place
Hidden so deep in the jungle
Where no one can reach
Now that i'm faced with your grace
I am defenseless against this
Embarrassing speech
Oh how i want to be
Oh the king to your queen
Darling denise
You're frustrating me
Complicating my dreams
Like wind through the leaves
You're shaking my knees
Yes i firmly believe
I've fallen for thee
How foolish of me to believe that i could be the one
To reverse all the stories of good men before me
Who all came undone
Darling denise
