[Chorus] My young brother was Y.O.U.N.G’s brother Used to be De and Mickey’s brother Who was Ballistic’s brother, who was Lil De’s friend Lil De my mentor, now let the story begin (Uh!) [Verse 1] It’s the VULTURES 35 Tour, sold out Picture us at the mall, coppin’ rhinestones and shoutin' "Hound Dog!" Yeah, that’s what we’d yell out, yell out You know the name, you gotta do shake my hips or spell out? L-I-L, and Ant so shy He ain’t even say “thank you, thank you very much” to the guy Standing there like a mime in blue suede shoes Thinking “This moment hеrе, man, what I got to lose?” With all thesе beats I madе, at least let him hear it At least you could tell ya friends back home, “Yo, I’m near it!” But he got me outta that school Then helped my homies cop a spot with a pool—real cool [Chorus] My young brother was Y.O.U.N.G’s brother Used to be De and Mickey’s brother Who was Ballistic’s brother, who was Lil De’s friend Lil De my mentor, now let the story begin Let the story begin If you feel the way I feel, swing your mic stand [Verse 2] Fresh off the plane, headed to Graceland Nothing handed out, I had to shake hands ‘Round the same time as Blueprint Uno And I’m still broke eatin' chips and Jell-O Playin’ my beats in the back room like, "Yo" He'd bob his head like “Man…you did this, bro?” But by The Black Album, I was blackin’ out Sippin' root beer floats, tryna pack a crowd Young brother had a show at Madison Square I said, “We comin’, dawg” but I wasn’t there Couldn’t even spit, just had to sit Carline said, “You can buy two tix—now get!” I guess young brother saw it all a bit different Kept his kid brother back like he needed distance But all that did was make me work harder Like Elvis in the mirror practicing "Jailhouse Rock" sharper Only thing I ask, why I got passed over? Maybe I’ll get it when I’m older, older Young brother saw me at the bottom of the totem Now I’m on top and people act like they know him [Chorus] My young brother was Y.O.U.N.G’s brother Used to be De and Mickey’s brother Who was Ballistic’s brother, who was Lil De’s friend Lil De my mentor, now let the story begin Let the story begin If you feel the way I feel, shake them hips again [Verse 3] Have you ever walked in the shadow of The King? Hair slicked back, cape draggin’ in the ring Not only a client, the "Suspicious Minds" type I was always on the other side of the spotlight Then I dropped “HAIL JESUS,” rose like Sunday Turned my mic into a weapon like it’s Gunplay But to be number one, I had to beat my brother Even though he taught me how to sing like no other On that “Diamonds” remix I swear I snapped Then my young brother showed up and knocked me flat Sibling rivalry, I see it so clear It was pride and a pompadour that got me here At the Grammys I said, “I inspired me” But my young brother, man, he always fired me I’d kick a flow, it was like pick-and-roll Even when he passed the mic, it was rock and roll Beanie dunked, mine was a finger roll But I had them hits, them hips, that soul And the girls at the show? Whew—they’d lose control I told Jay I did a track with Coldplay Then he did one too—I was like, “No way!” Español—“No way, José” Told Jay Brown, shoulda told him first But I told the world and that made it worse [Bridge] My young brother was Y.O.U.N.G’s brother So here’s a few words from your hip-swiveling brother If you admire someone, don’t you stall Give ‘em their flowers before they leave the building, y’all An idol in my eyes, god of the game CARNIVAL (REMIX), TM Records chain Never be the same, never be another Number one, Elvis Presley—also my young brother [Chorus] My young brother was Y.O.U.N.G’s brother Used to be De and Mickey’s brother Who was Ballistic’s brother, who was Lil De’s friend Lil De my mentor— that’s where the story ends
