| [00:09.300] | My big brother was B.I.G.'s brother |
| [00:13.550] | Used to be Dame and Bigg's brother |
| [00:16.120] | Who was Hip Hop brother, who was No I.D. friend |
| [00:20.180] | No I.D., my mentor, now let the story begin |
| [00:22.680] | It's the Hard Knock Life Tour, sellout; picture |
| [00:26.500] | us in the mall, coppin' Iceberg and yell out "Jigga!" |
| [00:30.200] | Yeah, that's what we'll yell out, yell out |
| [00:31.950] | You know the name do I gotta spell out or tell 'bout |
| [00:34.260] | J-A-Y, and 'Ye so shy |
| [00:36.700] | Now he won't even step to his idol to say hi |
| [00:39.260] | Standing there like a mime and let the chance pass by |
| [00:42.830] | Back of my mind, "He could change yo' life |
| [00:46.140] | With all these beats I did, at least let him hear it |
| [00:48.510] | At least you can brag to ya friends back at the Chig'" |
| [00:53.010] | But he got me out me out my momma crib |
| [00:55.760] | Then he help me get my momma a crib |
| [00:57.580] | Big brother was BIG's brother, |
| [01:00.080] | Used to Be Dame and BIG's brother, |
| [01:01.330] | Who was hip hop brother, who was No I.D Friend, |
| [01:03.760] | No I.D my mentor, Now Let the story begin （begin）.No I.D. |
| [01:05.580] | Let the story begin （let the story begin）. |
| [01:06.450] | If you feel the way i feel, why don't you wave your hands? |
| [01:19.940] | Fresh off the plane, im off the base line. |
| [01:21.690] | Nothin' handed out, im bout to take mine. |
| [01:24.380] | Round the same time of that Blueprint One, |
| [01:28.940] | And these beats in my pocket was that blueprint for im'. |
| [01:31.880] | I played my little songs in that old back room, |
| [01:33.190] | He'd bop his head and say, 'damn, oh thats you? |
| [01:36.190] | But by the black album, i was blackin' out,Party at S.O.B's and we had packed the crowd. |
| [01:42.500] | Big brother got a show up in Madison Square, |
| [01:44.630] | And i'm like, 'Yeah yeah, we gon' be there! |
| [01:48.060] | But, not only did i not get a chance to spit it. |
| [01:49.820] | Carlene told me i could buy two tickets.Carlene |
| [01:52.380] | I guess big brother was thinkin' a little different, |
| [01:54.350] | And kept little brother at bay at a distance. |
| [02:00.280] | But everything that i felt was more bogus, |
| [02:02.410] | Only made me more focused, only wrote more potent. |
| [02:04.600] | Only thing i wanna know, is why i get looked over, |
| [02:08.100] | I guess i understand when i get more older. |
| [02:11.160] | Big brother saw me at the bottom of the totem, |
| [02:14.220] | Now im' on the top and everybody on the Scrotum. |
| [02:16.910] | My Big brother was B.I.G's brother, |
| [02:18.840] | Used to Be Dame and B.I.G's brother, |
| [02:21.720] | Who was hip hop brother, who was No I.D Friend, |
| [02:24.910] | No I.D my mentor, now Let the story begin.No I.D. |
| [02:27.220] | Let the story begin. |
| [02:33.690] | If you feel the way i feel, why won't you wave your hands? |
| [02:39.410] | Have you ever walked in the shadow of a giant? |
| [02:43.280] | Not only a client, but the presedito. |
| [02:45.530] | Hola' Hovito', the game gettin' foul, so here's a free throw. |
| [02:50.160] | I was always on the other side of the people, |
| [02:54.220] | Then i dropped Jesus Walks, now i'm on a steeple. |
| [02:57.030] | And we know, New Jack City gotta keep my brother, |
| [02:58.850] | But to be number one, imma' beat my brother. |
| [03:02.280] | On that diamonds remix, i swore i'd spaz, |
| [03:05.720] | Then my big brother came through and kicked my ass! |
| [03:07.970] | Sibling rivalry, only i could see, it was the pride in me, that was drivin' me. |
| [03:12.220] | At the grammy's i said, i inspired me. |
| [03:16.720] | But my big brother who i always tried to be. |
| [03:18.780] | When i kicked the flow, it was like pick and roll', |
| [03:22.280] | Coz even if he gave me the ROC, it's give and go. |
| [03:24.910] | I guess being styled was more of a slam dunk, |
| [03:28.470] | And my shit was more like a finger roll, but i had them singles so, |
| [03:33.450] | And them hoe's at the show gonna' mingle yo, ya'll know! |
| [03:37.330] | I told Jay i did a song with Coldplay, |
| [03:38.950] | Next thing i know, he got a song with Coldplay. |
| [03:41.450] | Back of my mind, i'm like 'damn,no way', |
| [03:45.020] | Translate Espanyol, No way hose'! |
| [03:49.200] | Then i went and told Jay Brown, |
| [03:51.860] | Should have known that was gonna come back around |
| [03:54.350] | Should have talked to you like a man, should have told you first, |
| [03:57.350] | But i told someone else and thats what made shit worse. |
