Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[F][Em][Dm]
Stadium sta[G]tus
[Am][Em][Am][C]
My [F]big brother was B.I.G.'s broth[Em]er
[Dm]Used to be Dame and [G]Biggs' brother
Who was [Am]Hip Hop brother,
who was No I.[Em]D. friend
No I.[Am]D. my mentor, now let the story begin[C]

[Verse 1]
It's the [F]Hard Knock Life Tour, sellout
Picture [Em]us in the ma[Dm]ll,
coppin' Iceberg and yell [G]out "Jigga"
[Am]Yeah, that's what we'll yell out, [Em]yell out
You [Am]know the name do
I gotta spell out or tell [C]'bout
[F]J-A-Y, and 'Ye so [Em]shy
Now [Dm]he won't even step to his idol to sa[G]y hi
Standing [Am]there like a mime
and let the chance [Em]pass by
[Am]Back of my mind, "He could change your [C]life
With [F]all these beats I did,
at least let him hear [Em]it
At [Dm]least you can brag
to your friends back [G]at the [Am]gig"
But he got me [Em]out my momma c[Am]rib
Then he help me get my momma [C]a crib

[Chorus 1]
[F]Big brother was B.I.G.'s broth[Em]er
[Dm]Used to be Dame and [G]Biggs' brother
Who was [Am]Hip Hop brother,
who was No I.[Em]D. friend
No I.[Am]D. my mentor,
now let the story beg[C]in, beg[F]in
Let the story beg[Em]in[Dm][G]
If you [Am]feel the way I feel
why don't you wave [Em]your [Am]hands?[C]

[Verse 2]
[F]Fresh off the plane, plane, I'm off Base[Em]line
[Dm]Nothing handed out,
I'm 'bout to [G]take mine
[Am]'Round the same time of that Blue[Em]print 1
And these [Am]beats in my pocket
was that blueprint for [C]him
I'd [F]play my little songs in that old back [Em]room
He'd [Dm]bob his head and say
"Damn! Oh, [G]that's you?"
But by The [Am]Black Album, I was black[Em]ing out
Par[Am]tyin' S.O.B.'s and we had packed a [C]crowd
Big [F]brother got his show up
at Madison [Em]Square
And I'm [Dm]like "Yeah, yeah,
we gon' [G]be there" but
[Am]Not only did I not get a chanc[Em]e to spit it
[Am]Carline told me I could buy two [C]tickets
[F]I guess big brother
was thinkin' a little [Em]different
And [Dm]kept little brother at bay, [G]at a distance
[Am]But everything that I felt was m[Em]ore bogus
Only [Am]made me more focused,
only wrote more po[C]tent
Only [F]thing I wanna wanna know
is why I get looked [Em]over
I [Dm]guess I'll understand when I get [G]more older
[Am]Big brother saw me
at the bottom [Em]of the totem
[Am]Now I'm on the top
and everybody on the scro[C]tum

[Chorus 2]
My [F]big brother was B.I.G.'s broth[Em]er
[Dm]Used to be Dame and [G]Biggs' brother
Who was [Am]Hip Hop brother,
who was No I.[Em]D. friend
No I.[Am]D. my mentor,
now let the story beg[C]in, beg[F]in
Let the story beg[Em]in[Dm][G]
If you [Am]feel the way I feel
why don't you wave [Em]your [Am]hands?[C]

[Verse 3]
[F]Have you ever walked
in the shadow of a gi[Em]ant?
[Dm]Not only a client, the Pre[G]sidito, [Am]hola, Hovito
[Em]The game gettin' foul [Am]so here's a free throw
I was al[C]ways on the [F]other
side of the peephole
Then I [Em]dropped "Jesus [Dm]Walks"
now I'm on the steeple
[G]And we know,
[Am]"New Jack City"—got to keep [Em]my brother
But to [Am]be number one I'ma beat my brothe[C]r
On that [F]"Diamonds" remix I swore I [Em]spazzed
Then [Dm]my big brother
came through and kicked [G]my ass
Sibling [Am]rivalry, only I [Em]could see
It was the [Am]pride in me that was drivin' [C]me
At the [F]Grammys I said, "I inspired [Em]me"
But my [Dm]big brother who I always tried [G]to be
When I [Am]kicked a flow it was like [Em]pick-and-roll
Cause [Am]even if he gave me the rock,
it's give-and-[C]go

[Verse 4]
I [F]guess Beanie's style
was more of a slam [Em]dunk
And [Dm]my shit was more like a finger r[G]oll
But I had them [Am]singles though
And them hoes [Em]at the show gonna mi[Am]ngle,
yo, heh, y'all [C]know
[F]I told Jay I did a song with Coldpla[Em]y
[Dm]Next thing I know he got a song [G]with Coldplay
Back [Am]in my mind I'm like, "D[Em]amn, no way"
Trans[Am]late, español: "No way, Jo[C]sé"
[F]Then I went and told Jay Bro[Em]wn
[Dm]Shoulda known that was gonna
come back [G]around
Shoulda [Am]talked to you like a man,
shoulda told [Em]you first
But I [Am]told somebody else
and that's what made shit [C]worse
My [F]big brother was B.I.G.'s broth[Em]er
So [Dm]here's a few words from your [G]kid brother
If you ad[Am]mire somebody
you should go on [Em]'head tell 'em
People [Am]never get the flowers
while they can still smell [C]'em
A [F]idol in my eyes, god of the [Em]game
[Dm]Heart of the City, Roc-a-[G]Fella chain
[Am]Never be the same, never [Em]be another
Number [Am]one, Young Hov, also my big [C]brother

[Chorus 3]
My [F]big brother was B.I.G.'s broth[Em]er
[Dm]Used to be Dame and [G]Biggs' brother
Who was [Am]Hip Hop brother,
who was No I.[Em]D. friend
No I.[Am]D. my mentor,
now let the story [C]ends

[Outro 1]
[F][Em]
[Dm]Toomp killed this shit[G]
[Am][Em][Am][C]
