Verse 1
My big brother was B.I.G.’s brother
Use to be Dame and Biggs brother
Who is Hip Hop brother, who is NO ID friend
NO ID my mentor, now let the story begin
It’s the Hard Knock Life Tour sell out
Picture us in the mall coppin’ IceBerg and yell out jigga
Yea, that’s what we would yell out (yell out)
You know the name, do I gotta spell out or tell bout
JAY and Ye so shy,
that 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 can change yo’ life
With all these beats I did, at least let him hear it
At least you could brag to the friends back at the gig
But he got me out my momma crib,
then he help me get my momma a crib
Hook
My big brother was B.I.G’s
Use to be Dame and Biggs brother
Who is Hip Hop brother, who is NO ID friend
NO ID my mentor, now let the story begin
Verse 2
Fresh off the plane, I’m off to Baseline mine
Nothing handed out, I’m bout to take mine
Round the same time of that Blueprint 1
And these beats in my pocket was that blueprint for him
I’ll play my lil’ songs in that ol’ back room
He’ll bob his head and say, O’ that’s you
But by the Black Album, I was blacking out
Party at SOB’s and we had packed the crowd
Big Brother gotta show up at Madison Square and I’m like yea, yea, we gon’ be there
But, not only did I not get a chance to spit it
Carline told me I could buy two tickets
I guess Big Brother was thinking a lil’ different
And kept lil’ 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 every body on the scrotum
Hook
My big brother was B.I.G’s
Use to be Dame and Biggs brother
Who is Hip Hop brother, who is NO ID friend
NO ID my mentor, now let the story begin
Verse 3
Have you ever walked in the shadow of a giant
Not only a client, the presidtio…hola hovito
The game getting foul, so here’s a free throw
I was always on the other side of the peep hole
Then I dropped Jesus Walks, now I’m on the steeple
And we know, New Jack City gotta keep my brother
But to be number one, I’m a beat my brother
On that Diamonds remix, I swore I spazzed
Then my big brother came thru and kicked my ass
Sibling rivalry, only I could see
it was the pride in me that was driving 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 was like pick and roll
Cause even if he gave me the roc, it’s give and go
I guess Beans style was more of a slam dunk
and my shit was more like a finger roll
But I had them singles though
and them hoes at the show gon’ mingle yo… eh 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,
should have known that was gon’ come back around
Should of talked to you like a man, should have 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 your kid brother
If you admire somebody, you should gon’ 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, Roc-A-Fella chain
Never be the same, never be another
Number one, Young Hov, also my big brother
Hook
My big brother was B.I.G’s
Use to be Dame and Biggs brother
Who is Hip Hop brother, who is NO ID friend
NO ID my mentor, now let the story begin
Kanye talking: Toomp killed this shit
