My big brother was B.I.G.'s brotherSo here's a few words from ya kid brotherIf you admire somebody you should go on 'head tell 'emPeople never get the flowers while they can still smell 'emA idol in my eyes, god of the gameHeart of the City, Roc-a-Fella chainNever be the same, never be anotherNumber one, Young Hov, also my big brother
[Hook]My big brother was B.I.G.'s brotherUsed to be Dame and Biggs' brotherWho was Hip Hop brother, who was No I.D. friendNo I.D., my mentor, and that's where the story ends
*the heart and soul that he raps it with. nothing flashy. sounds humble.
* lyrics back up humbleness and show respect not just to HOV, but those that have come before him.
*playfulness about coldplay and bey and "no way, Jose." This is a dude that can have a sense of humor.
*was written during arguably his most popular era. Pre Bonnaroo Glow in Dark Debacle. Pre 808's. This guy was untouchable. He didn't have kids yet. His mom hadn't died yet. "Welcome to the Good Life." Yeah? He was on Cloud ninety-fucking-nine, and yet he felt compelled to give proper gratitude to the guy that gave him his break, who took him in like family, and who just happened to be the best in the game at that particular moment.
Big Brother is beautiful, brilliant and triumphant song that has nothing to do with Yeezy or his ego at all.
