| [00:34.37] |
J a y and Ye so shy |
| [00:37.16] |
Now he won't even step to his idol to say hi |
| [00:40.08] |
Standing there like a mime |
| [00:41.46] |
And let the chance pass by |
| [00:42.94] |
Back of my mind he could change your life |
| [00:45.58] |
With all these beats I did at least let him hear it |
| [00:48.57] |
At least you could brag to your friends back at the gig |
| [00:51.58] |
But he got me out my mama crib |
| [00:55.23] |
Then he help me get my mama a crib |
| [00:57.79] |
Big brother was Bigs Brother |

Now let the story begin, begin |
| [01:09.94] |
Let the story begin |
| [01:12.46] |
story begin |
| [01:14.41] |
If you feel the way I feel why don't you wave your hands, hand |
| [01:20.16] |
Fresh off the plane I'm off to Baseline |
| [01:22.62] |
Nothing handed out |
| [01:24.38] |
I'm about to take mine |
| [01:25.83] |
Around the same time of that BluePrint 1 |
| [01:28.43] |
And these beats in my pocket was that Blueprint for em |
| [01:31.26] |
I'd play my little song in that ol back room |
| [01:34.08] |
He would bob his head and say, damn, oh, that's you |
| [01:36.96] |
But by the Black album I was blacking out |
| [01:39.81] |
Party at S.O.Bs and we had packed the crowd |
| [01:42.63] |
Big brother got his show up in Madison Sqare |
| [01:45.64] |
And I'm like yea, yea we gonna be there |
| [01:48.47] |
But not only did I not get a chance to spit it |
| [01:51.54] |
Carleen told me I could buy two tickets |
| [01:54.79] |
I guess big brother was thinking a little different |
| [01:57.31] |
Kept little brother at bay, at a distance |
| [02:00.53] |
but everything I felt was more bogus |
| [02:03.09] |
Only made me more focused |
| [02:04.27] |
Only wrote more potent |
| [02:05.73] |
Only thing I wanna know is why I get looked over |
| [02:08.62] |
I guess i'll understand when I get more older |
| [02:11.50] |
Big brother saw me at the bottom of the todum |
| [02:14.28] |
Now I'm on the top and everybody on the scrodum |
| [02:17.16] |
My big Brother was Bigs brother |
| [02:19.88] |
Used to be Dame and Bigs brother |
| [02:22.70] |
Who was Hip Hops brother |
| [02:24.55] |
Who was No I.Ds friend |
| [02:25.58] |
No I.D my mentor |
| [02:26.81] |
Now let the story begin |
| [02:28.41] |
Begin |
| [02:30.03] |
Let the story begin |
| [02:32.68] |
begin |
| [02:34.64] |
If you feel the way I feel why don't you wave your hands |
| [02:40.36] |
Have you ever walked in the shadow of a giant |
| [02:42.68] |
Not only a client the presidito |
| [02:45.74] |
Hola ovito |
| [02:47.94] |
The game getting foul so here's a free throw |
| [02:50.85] |
I was always on the other side of the peep hole |
| [02:53.58] |
Then I dropped jesus walks now I'm on a steep hole |
| [02:56.27] |
And we know |
| [02:57.48] |
New jack city gotta keep my brother |
| [02:59.91] |
But to be number 1 I'm a beat my brother |
| [03:02.80] |
On that diamonds remix I swore I spaz |
| [03:05.59] |
Then my big brother came thru and kicked my ass |
| [03:08.40] |
Sibling rivery, only I could see |
| [03:10.95] |
It was the pride in me that was driving me |
| [03:13.97] |
At the grammys I said I inspired me |
| [03:16.86] |
But my big brother who I always tried to be |
| [03:19.67] |
When I kick a flow it was like, pick and roll |
| [03:22.78] |
Cuz even if he gave me the roc its give and go |
| [03:25.51] |
I guess beanies style was more of a slam dunk |
| [03:28.39] |
And my shit was more like a finger roll |
| [03:31.09] |
but I had them singles though |
| [03:32.88] |
And them hoes at the show gone minggle yo. |
| [03:35.69] |
Ya know |
| [03:37.53] |
I told Jay I did a song with cold play |
| [03:39.96] |
Next thing I know he got a song with coldplay |
| [03:42.99] |
Back in my mind I'm like damn, no way |
| [03:45.59] |

| [03:47.08] |
No way jose |
| [03:49.63] |
Then I went and told Jay brown |
| [03:51.79] |
Should of known that was gonna come back around |
| [03:54.26] |
Should of talked you like a man should of told you first |
| [03:56.90] |
But I told somebody else that's what made shit worse |
| [03:59.96] |
My big brother was Bigs brother |
| [04:02.77] |
So here's a few words from your kid brother |
| [04:05.62] |
If you admire somebody you should go ahead and tell um |
| [04:08.33] |
People never get the flowers while they could smell um |
| [04:11.50] |
A idol in my eyes, God of the game |
| [04:14.28] |
Heart of the city,Roc-a-fella chain |
| [04:17.34] |
Never be the same, never be another |
| [04:20.22] |
Number 1 young Hov also my big brother |
| [04:22.82] |
