Big Brother Lyrics - Kanye West

1 e gon' be there" but

2 Not only did I not get a chance to spit it

3 Carline told me I could buy two tickets

4 I guess big brother was thinkin' a little different

5 And kept little brother at bay, at a distance

6 But everything that I felt was more bogus

7 Only made me more focused, only wrote more potent

8 Only thing I wanna know is why I get looked over

9 I guess I'll understand when I get more older

10 Big brother saw me at the bottom of the totem

11 Now I'm on the top and everybody on the scrotum

12 My big brother was B.I.G.'s brother

13 Used to be Dame and Biggs brother

14 Who was Hip Hop brother, who was No I.D. friend

15 No I.D. my mentor, now let the story begin, begin

16 Let the story begin

17 If you feel the way I feel, why don't you wave your hands?

18 Have you ever walked in the shadow of a giant?

19 Not only a client, the Presidito, hola, Hovito

20 The game gettin' foul so here's a free throw

21 I was always on the other side of the peephole

22 Then I dropped Jesus Walks now I'm on the steeple

23 And we know New Jack City got to keep my brother

24 But to be number one I'mma beat my brother

25 On that Diamonds remix I swore I spazzed

26 Then my big brother came through and kicked my ass

27 Sibling rivalry, only I could see

28 It was the pride in me that was drivin' me

29 At the Grammys, I said, "I inspired me"

30 But my big brother who I always tried to be

31 When I kicked a flow it like pick-and-roll

32 'Cause even if he gave me the rock, it's give-and-go

33 I guess Beanie's style was more of a slam dunk

34 But my shit was more like a finger roll

35 But I had them singles though

36 And them hoes at the show gonna mingle, yo, heh, y'all know

37 I told Jay I did a song with Coldplay

38 Next thing I know he got a song with Coldplay

39 Back in my mind I'm like "Damn, no way"

40 Translate español, "No way, Jose"

41 Then I went and told Jay Brown

42 Shoulda known that was gonna come back around

43 Shoulda talked to you like a man, shoulda told you first

44 But I told somebody else and that's what made shit worse

45 My big brother was B.I.G.'s brother

46 So here's a few words from ya kid brother

47 If you admire somebody you should go on 'head tell 'em

48 People never get the flowers while they can still smell 'em

49 A idol in my eyes, god of the game

50 Heart of the City, Roc-a-Fella chain

51 Never be the same, never be another

52 Number one, Young Hov, also my big brother

53 My big brother was B.I.G.'s brother

54 Used to be Dame and Biggs brother

55 Who was Hip Hop brother, who was No I.D. friend

56 No I.D., my mentor, and that's where the story ends

57 Toomp killed this shit
