1. Michael Barnett (born 1971, better known by his stage name Big Mike, is an American rapper from New Orleans, Louisiana. He was originally a member of Convicts with Houston rapper Mr. 3-2. Their album would be the first of many releases Mike would put out on Houston based Rap-A-Lot Records.
He made his next major appearances with the Geto Boys on the 1993 album Till Death Do Us Part. He was brought on to replace Willie D, who had left the group. However, after a dispute with Scarface over how Mike's presence was interpreted by the fans, Big Mike was out and begun his solo career with the 1994 album Somethin' Serious. In 1997, his 2nd solo album Still Serious was released and made it onto the Billboard top 20. A video for the track "All a Dream" was released and had modest play on BET and MTV.
2. Big Mike was formed in New York circa 1995 By the singer/songwriter duo John Tucker and John Fanelli (vocals) along with their friend and bandmate Mike Morel on lead guitar.
They weren't really a formal band until they moved to San Diego and hooked up with a drummer and bass player (Seth Bennett and Gus Kendrick respectively) and started playing club and party gigs. Sometime shortly after hooking up with Seth and Gus, Tucker asked if the band could turn some of Edwin Decker's poems into songs. He happily said yes and soon became their manager/lyricist. After Edwin was on board, Mike Decker, his younger brother and guitarist, joined the band as well. The group spent many golden hours together, drinking beer and writing songs. They were together about 2 years and released one album called Heaven's To Betsy, named for John Fanelli's sister who financed it. (From Edwin Decker.)

Big Mike Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And so tender, true love with no compromise
All those things I miss, when I reminisce, about you baby, um hm
[Chorus]
Why can't we go back in time, when I was your and you where mine,
Love is special meant to be, eternally our love is one for all time
How is it I see you, in every strangers face, I don't wanna need you,
But my stubborn heart keeps going, and I just can't erase
Oh oh oh oh all these things I miss when I remenise, about you boy,
Bet you didn't know, how much I love ya, won't mean to show ya baby
[Chorus]
I got to hear your conversation, intelligent debating, baby that
Would move me, they way you, make me fell so special, how could
You forget that, you where made for me, you where made for me
[Chorus]
Skatting, one for all time, mine,
did you know there's a love, umm,
our love, oh la la la la la,
the greatest love, of all time,
I love ya babe,
the greatest love of all time, I love ya babe
The lyrics of Big Mike's song "One Time" explore the longing for a past love and a desire to turn back time and relive the once magical relationship. The first verse highlights the deep connection and honesty shared between the singer and their ex-partner. The line "true love with no compromise" suggests that their love was pure and untainted by any disagreements or misunderstandings.
In the chorus, the singer expresses their wish to go back in time to when they were together, emphasizing the special and eternal nature of their love. They long for a reunion, emphasizing that their love is meant to be and should last for all time. The repetition of the phrase "this time only" signifies the urgency and fleeting opportunity to relive their love.
The second verse captures the singer's struggle to move on from their past relationship. They confess that they still see their ex-partner in every stranger's face, indicating that they still hold on to the memories and emotions from their time together. Despite not wanting to need the ex-partner, their heart continues to yearn for them. The line "I just can't erase" implies the difficulty of forgetting or letting go of the love that once existed.
In the third verse, the singer reminisces about the conversations and intellectual debates they shared with their ex-partner. These stimulating interactions made the singer feel special, and they question how the ex-partner could forget or overlook those moments. The singer believes that they were meant for each other, emphasizing that their connection was unique and irreplaceable.
The final chorus reaffirms the singer's longing for their past love. The word "skatting" may refer to improvising or expressing oneself freely, symbolizing their emotional outpouring. The notion of "one for all time" implies that their love was singular and unmatched. The repetition of the phrase "I love ya babe" and the mention of "the greatest love of all time" further underscores the intensity and depth of their feelings for their ex-partner.

Quinton Aaron plays Big Mike brilliantly! The shiness and pain in his eyes is conveyed so clearly! Both him and Sandra Bullock make this movie a masterpiece and timeless classic! What a great portrail or humanity and life's stuggles!

I just watched the blind side and I'm not even halfway through it. It warms my heart to see how a mother is supposed to be because some of us have had just a female that gave birth to us. Excellent movie.
