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
