Big Brother(MP3_160K)
[00:03.85] Stadium status
[00:09.96] Uh
[00:11.28] My big brother was B.I.G.'s brother
[00:13.96] Used to be Dame and Biggs' brother
[00:16.60] Who was Hip-Hop brother, who was No I.D. friend
[00:19.52] No I.D. my mentor, now let the story begin
[00:22.19] It's the Hard Knock Life Tour, sellout
[00:24.57] Picture us in the mall, coppin' Iceberg then yell out, "Jigga"
[00:28.04] Yeah, that's what we'll yell out, yell out
[00:31.21] You know the name do I gotta spell out or tell 'bout
[00:34.14] J-A-Y, and 'Ye so shy
[00:37.04] That he won't even step to his idol to say hi
[00:39.71] Standin' there like a mime and let the chance pass by
[00:42.64] Back of my mind, "He could change your life
[00:45.56] With all these beats I did, at least let him hear it
[00:48.74] At least you can brag to ya friends back at the gig"
[00:52.99] But he got me out my mama crib
[00:55.37] Then he help me get my mama a crib
[00:56.98] Big brother was B.I.G.'s brother
[00:59.38] Used to be Dame and Biggs' brother
[01:02.28] Who was Hip-Hop brother, who was No I.D. friend
[01:05.22] No I.D. my mentor, now let the story begin, begin
[01:09.99] Let the story begin (story begin)
[01:14.25] If you feel the way I feel, why don't you wave your hands?
[01:20.08] Fresh off the plane, I'm off to Baseline
[01:22.75] Nothin' handed out, I'm 'bout to take mine
[01:25.67] 'Round the same time of that Blueprint 1
[01:28.07] And these beats in my pocket was that blueprint for him
[01:30.96] I'd play my little songs in that old back room
[01:33.63] He'd bob his head and say, "Damn, oh, that's you?"
[01:36.03] But by The Black Album, I was blackin' out
[01:40.28] Party at S.O.B.'s and we had packed the crowd
[01:42.39] Big brother got a show up in Madison Square
[01:46.13] And I'm like, "Yeah, yeah, we gon' be there, " but
[01:48.24] Not only did I not get a chance to spit it
[01:50.64] Carline told me I could buy two tickets
[01:53.31] I guess big brother was thinkin' a little different
[01:57.28] And kept little brother at bay, at a distance
[01:59.94] But everything that I felt was more bogus
[02:02.59] Only made me more focused, only wrote more potent
[02:05.51] Only thing I wanna know is why I get looked over
[02:08.44] I guess I'll understand when I get more older
[02:11.63] Big brother saw me at the bottom of the totem
[02:15.08] Now I'm on the top and everybody on the scrotum
[02:19.05] My big brother was B.I.G.'s brother
[02:20.38] Used to be Dame and Biggs' brother
[02:23.31] Who was Hip-Hop brother, who was No I.D. friend
[02:26.77] No I.D. my mentor, now let the story begin, begin
[02:29.95] Let the story begin
[02:34.73] If you feel the way I feel why don't you wave your hands?
[02:40.30] Have you ever walked in the shadow of a giant?
[02:44.03] Not only a client, the Presidito, hola, Hovito
[02:48.01] The game gettin' foul so here's a free throw
[02:51.74] I was always on the other side of the peephole
[02:53.58] Then I dropped "Jesus Walks" now I'm on the steeple
[02:56.79] And we know "New Jack City" got to keep my brother
[02:59.70] But to be number one I'ma beat my brother
[03:02.87] On that "Diamonds (Remix)" I swore I spazzed
[03:06.33] Then my big brother came through and kicked my ass
[03:08.47] Sibling rivalry, only I could see
[03:10.85] It was the pride in me that was drivin' me
[03:14.06] At the Grammys I said, "I inspired me"
[03:17.75] But my big brother who I always tried to be
[03:19.89] When I kicked a flow it was like pick-and-roll
[03:23.07] 'Cause even if he gave me the rock, it's give-and-go
[03:25.74] I guess Beanie's style was more of a slam dunk
[03:28.38] And my shit was more like a finger roll
[03:31.04] But I had them singles though
[03:32.91] And them hoes at the show gonna mingle, yo, heh, y'all know
[03:37.95] I told Jay I did a song with Coldplay
[03:40.08] Next thing I know he got a song with Coldplay
[03:43.25] Back in my mind I'm like, "Damn, no way"
[03:45.92] Translate, español, "No way, José"
[03:50.15] Then I went and told Jay Brown
[03:51.77] Shoulda known that was gon' come back around
[03:54.14] Shoulda talked to you like a man, shoulda told you first
[03:56.54] But I told somebody else and that's what made shit worse
[03:59.73] My big brother was B.I.G.'s brother
[04:02.64] So here's a few words from ya kid brother
[04:05.58] If you admire somebody you should go on 'head tell 'em
[04:07.96] People never get the flowers while they can still smell 'em
[04:11.42] A idol in my eyes, god of the game
[04:14.34] Heart of the City, Roc-a-Fella chain
[04:18.33] Never be the same, never be another
[04:19.91] Number one, Young Hov, also my big brother
[04:22.83] My big brother was B.I.G.'s brother
[04:25.22] Used to be Dame and Biggs' brother
[04:29.22] Who was Hip-Hop brother, who was No I.D. friend
[04:31.08] No I.D., my mentor, and that's where the story ends
[04:37.72] Toomp killed this shit
