- KANYE WEST - Big Brother Lyrics
- Uploaded by LOVE4LYRICS at Pastebin.com
- [Intro: Kanye West]
- Stadium status...
- Unh...
- My big brother was B.I.G.'s brother
- Use to be Dame and Bigg's brother
- Who was Hip Hop brother, who was No I.D. friend
- No I.D., my mentor, now let the story begin
- It's the Hard Knock Life Tour, sellout; picture
- us in the mall, coppin' Iceberg and yell out "Jigga!"
- Yeah, that's what we'll yell out, yell out
- You know the name do I gotta spell out or tell 'bout
- J-A-Y, and 'Ye so shy
- Now he won't even step to his idol to say hi
- Standing there like a mime and let the chance pass by
- Back of my mind, "He could change yo' life
- With all these beats I did, at least let him hear it
- At least you can brag to ya friends back at the Chig'"
- But he got me out me out my momma crib
- Then he help me get my momma a crib
- [Chorus]
- Big brother was B.I.G.'s brother
- Use to be Dame and Bigg's brother
- Who was Hip Hop brother, who was No I.D. friend
- No I.D., my mentor, now let the story begin
- Begin... let the story begin... story begin
- If you feel the way I feel
- Why don't you wave your hands, hand...
- [Verse One]
- Fresh off the plane, Im off to Baseline
- Nothin' handed out, I'm 'bout to take mine
- 'Round the same time of that "Blueprint" one
- And these beats in my pocket was that "Blueprint" forum
- I'd play my little songs in that old back room
- He'll bob his head and say "Damn! Oh, that's you?"
- But by the "Black Album" I was blacking out
- Partyin' S.O.B.'s and we had packed a crowd
- Big brother got his show up at Madison Square
- And I'm like "Yeah, yeah, we gon' be there" but
- Not only did I not get a chance to spit it
- Colleen told me I could buy two tickets
- I guess big brother was thinkin' a little different
- And kept little brother at bay, at a distance
- But everything that I felt was more bogus
- Only made me more focused, only wrote more potent
- Only thing I wanna know is why I get looked over
- I guess I'll understand when I get more older
- Big brother saw me at the bottom of the totem
- Now I'm on the top and everybody on the scrotum
- [Chorus]
- My big brother was B.I.G.'s brother
- Use to be Dame and Bigg's brother
- Who was Hip Hop brother, who was No I.D. friend
- No I.D., my mentor, now let the story begin
- Begin... let the story begin, begin...
- If you feel the way I feel
- Why won't you wave your hands
- [Verse Two]
- Have you ever walked in the shadow of a giant?
- Not only a client, the Presidito
- Hola, Hovito
- The game gettin' foul so here's a free throw
- I was always on the other side of the peephole
- Then I dropped "Jesus Walks" now I'm on the steephole
- And we know, "New Jack City" got to keep my brother
- But to be number one I'ma beat my brother
- On that "Diamonds" remix I swore I was fast
- Then my big brother came thru and kicked my ass
- Sibling rivalry, only I could see
- It was the pride in me that was drivin' me
- At the Grammy's I said "I inspired me"
- But my big brother who I always tried to be
- When I kicked a flow it like pick-and-roll
- Cuz even if he gave me the rock, it's give-and-go
- I guess Beanie's style was more of a slam dunk
- But my shit was more like a finger roll
- But I had them singles though
- And them hoes at the show gon' mingle, yo
- Heh, y'all know
- I told Jay I did a song with Coldplay
- Next thing I know he got a song with Coldplay
- Back in my mind I'm like "Damn, no way"
- Translate, espanol "No way, Jose"
- Then I went and told Jay Brown
- Shoulda known THAT was gon' come back around
- Shoulda talked to you like a man, shoulda told you first
- But I told somebody else and that's what made shit worse
- My big brother was B.I.G.'s brother
- So here's a few words from ya kid brother
- If you admire somebody you should go on 'head tell 'em
- People never get the flowers while they can still smell 'em
- A idol in my eyes, god of the game
- Heart of the city, Rocafella chain
- Never be the same, never be another
- Number one, Young Hov, also my big brother
- [Chorus]
- My big brother was B.I.G.'s brother
- Use to be Dame and Bigg's brother
- Who was Hip Hop brother, who was No I.D. friend
- No I.D., my mentor, and that's where the story ends
- Toomp killed this shit...
