Lyrics Little Brother, Big Brother - Rashaann

Big brother
I just wanna be my big brother
Right, this No Previews right here
Just a lil something some of us can relate to, you know?
Bigg Saint on the beat by the way

The other day I seen my mother kick big brother out of the house
I hugged her as she cried about sending her son out
Into the streets, knowing all the things that her son about
Knowing that his time is up if he choose to run his mouth
The streets ain't the same in how they deal with confrontation
At home and school he got away with all of his hell raising
But these niggas in the streets ain't nothing to play with
I'm hoping he'll be smart, we wasn't raised brainless
The family praying, as we going through changes
He got caught with rocks, storing them in the basement
'Cause that was the spot for where him and his crew be hanging
And moms ain't never interfere with his entertainment
So we ain't have no clue about his drug slanging
Until the day moms finally went in the basement
In search for birth certificates and some other papers
And knew her oldest son had threw away his aspirations

That's my big brother
Looking up to my big brother
Yeah
That's my big brother
That's my big brother
I just wanna be my big brother
Right

Big brother 21, little brother was ten
So that man's my superhero, tryna follow his trends
So I wanted to leave too when my mother had sent
Him to live with our aunt, instead he stayed with a friend
'Cause she wasn't tryna deal with a drug dealer
She was deep into church, looked down on thug niggas
But he wasn't a thug nigga
Just from a poor family, want fortune to come quicker
And our pops died, I was too young to recall
He loved that man dearly, took it harder than all
Appreciative of him in our lives at all costs
But the day he left us, big brother was lost
So he hit 11th grade, friends into the drug game
He chose to stay out, 'til he seen the love came
Two years later, he doing the same thing
Another two years, he having his home changed
Six years passed, chose to take a new route
And now I'm at the same phase where I'm figuring out
What this life is about, fit in or stand out?
Starting to get in trouble man, will I get kicked out the house?
But big brother came to guide me in the right direction
Big brother spoke, little brother got the message
Big brother was my idol, little brother never questioned
Admired how big brother turned out successful

That's my big brother
I just wanna be my big brother
I just wanna be
I just wanna be my big brother
