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 ↴
Think my bitch is a shooter, yeah, she play for the ace
I just sprayed the block, sprayed the K like it's mace
I just bought a Birkin, now your hoe giving face
I don't buy your bitch shit, but she still be givin' me face
I been in the studio, getting blunt and gettin' fade
I just put a bad bitch in a gym, she gettin' slayed
And I'm stayin' with her, boss her, and I'm stayin' with her game
Which one should I get, Cartier or Day-Date?
Feel like 66, think I need a pair of skates
I just bought the Forgi', put the Benz on dinner plates
Talkin' down, we gon' hit the, talkin' down, we gon' shoot
Got that money game with me, got that money game with me
Now she wanna come with me, now she wanna fuck with me
Touchdown in your city, big swerving in your city
Swerve, Swerve, Swerve
Swerve, Swerve, Swerve, Swerve, Swerve
Swerve, Swerve, Swerve, Swerve, Swerve
Swerve, Swerve, Swerve, Swerve, Swerve
Swervin' in the 550
It got me dizzy
Pouring up some
Yeah, I'm pourin' up some fizzy
I just got him shanked, buck fifty
I just got him shanked, a buck fifty
