Have you ever walked in the shadow of a giant
Not only your client, the prez y ditto, Hola Hovito
The game getting foul so here’s a free throw
I was always on the other side of the peephole
Then I dropped “Jesus Walks” now I’m on a steep hole
And we know, New Jack City gotta keep my brother
But to be No.1 I’m gon’ beat my brother
On that “Diamonds Remix,” I swore I spazzed
Then my big brother came and kicked my ass
Sibling rivalry only I can see
It was the pride in me that was driving me
At the Grammys I said, “I inspire me”
But my big brother who I always tried to be
When I kick a flow it was like pick and roll
Cuz even if he gave me the ROC it was give and go
I guess Beanie‘s style was more like a slam dunk
And my sh*t was more like a finger roll
But I had them singles though
And them hoes at the show, go on mingle yo
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 Español ‘No way José‘
Then I went and told Jay Brown
Shoulda known that that was gon’ come back around
Shoulda talked to you like a man — Shouldatold you first
But I told somebody else and that’s what made sh*t worse
My big brother was BIG’s brother
So here’s a few words from your kid brother:
If you admire somebody then go ahead and tell ‘em
People never get the flowers while they can still smell ‘em
An idol in my eyes, god of the game,
Heart of the city, Roc-a-Fella chain
Never be the same, Never be another,
No. 1 Young Hov, Also my big brother
BTW, Beach Chair > Homecoming
