[Перевод песни Kanye West — «Big Brother»]
[Интро]
Статус — стадион
[Припев]
Мой старший братишка был братом B.I.G.'a
А ещё раньше был братом Дэйма и Биггза
Был братом Хип Хопа, был другом No I.D
А No I.D. — мой наставник, так давайте же начнём историю
[Куплет 1]
Это Hard Knock Life Tour, солдаут
Сфотай нас в торговом центре, мы там покупаем шмотки от Iceberg, выкрикиваем: «Jigga»
Да-а, это то, что мы будем выкрикивать, выкрикивать снова
Вы знаете, о ком я, разве я должен называть его имя, произносить его по буквам?
J-A-Y, да, ’Ye такой скромный
Теперь не смогу даже подойти к своему идолу, чтобы поздороваться
Встану рядом с ним, немой, как мим, упущу свой шанс
А в голове мысли: «Он мог бы изменить твою жизнь
Ты сделал кучу разных битов, дай их ему послушать
Мог бы хотя бы похвастать перед друзьями на его концерте»
Но в итоге он вытащил меня из дома, где я жил с мамой
А потом помог купить моей маме отдельный дом
[Припев]
Мой старший братишка был братом B.I.G.'a
А ещё раньше был братом Дэйма и Биггза
Был братом Хип Хопа, был другом No I.D
А No I.D. — мой наставник, так давайте же начнём историю
Так давайте же начнём историю
Если ты чувствуешь то же, что и я, то почему не качаешь руками?
[Куплет 2]
Только сошёл с самолёта и сразу погнал в Baseline
Никто не давал мне чего-то готового, я всё делал сам
Это было в районе того времени, когда только вышел первый Blueprint
И те биты, что я сделал, были чертежами для него
Я проигрывал свои песенки в старой тёмной комнатке
А он качал головой и говорил: «Чёрт! Так это ты зачитал?»
А к моменту выхода The Black Album я уже стал известнее
Тусовались у S.O.B.'s и собирали там толпы
У старшего брата намечался концерт на Мэдисон Сквер
И я такой: «Да, да, мы туда залетим», но
Не только я тогда не получил свой шанс попасть на то шоу
Карлайн сказал мне, что я могу купить два билета
Кажись, старший брат думал немного по-другому
Решил держать младшего на расстоянии от себя
И я начал чувствовать, что ещё не совсем уверен в себе
Это сделало меня более сосредоточенным, я начал писать музыку ещё лучше
Единственное, что я хотел знать, так это то, почему никто не обратил внимания на мой первый альбом
Я думаю, что пойму это лишь с возрастом
Старший брат заметил меня, когда я был на дне
А теперь я сижу на вершине и верчу всех, как хочу
[Припев]
Мой старший братишка был братом B.I.G.’a
А ещё раньше был братом Дэйма и Биггза
Был братом Хип Хопа, был другом No I.D
А No I.D. — мой наставник, так давайте же начнём историю
Так давайте же начнём историю
Если ты чувствуешь то же, что и я, то почему не качаешь руками?
[Куплет 3]
Был ли ты когда-нибудь в тени гиганта?
Не просто какого-то там подписанта лейбла, а Президито, хола, Ховито!
Если кто-то играет не по правилам, то ему назначат штрафной
За мной мало кто следил, я был неинтересен
А потом я дропнул «Jesus Walks» и стал намного ближе к небесам
Это как в «Нью-Джек-Сити», надо присматривать за своим братом
Но чтобы стать номером один, мне придётся побить его
Клянусь, на том ремиксе «Diamonds...» я думал, что превзошёл себя
А потом пришёл мой старший брат и надрал мне зад
Это противостояние братьев было видно лишь мне
Гордость двигала мной, заставляла расти
На Грэмми я сказал: «Я черпаю вдохновение из своей же музыки»
Но я всегда пытался быть похожим на своего старшего брата
Когда я начинал читать, то будто делал пик-н-ролл
Даже если бы он разрешил мне разойтись по полной, всё равно пришлось бы делать гив-н-го
Я полагаю, стиль Бэнни был чем-то вроде слэм-данка
А у меня был только фингер-ролл
Но мои синглы всё равно выстреливали
И эти ш***ки на концертах все такие, йо, хех, ну, вы поняли
Я сказал Джею, что записал песню с Coldplay
А потом узнал, что у него тоже есть песня с Coldplay
И я такой у себя в голове: «Чёрт, крутяк»
Перевожу на испанский: «No way, José»
Потом я пошёл и поговорил с Джеем Брауном
Надо было знать, что я ещё вернусь
Надо было поговорить с тобой как мужик, надо было поговорить с тобой сразу
Но я поговорил лишь с кем-то другим, всё стало только хуже
[Бридж]
Старший братишка был братом B.I.G.'a
Так вот вам совет от младшего брата
Если вы восхищаетесь кем-то, то идите и прямо скажите ему об этом
Ведь люди зачастую признают артистов только после их смерти
Идол в моих глазах, бог рэп-игры
Сердце своего города, цепь Roc-a-Fella
Не будет никого такого же, никто не заменит
Номер один, Молодой Хова, но в то же время мой старший брат
[Припев]
Старший братишка был братом B.I.G.'a
А ещё раньше был братом Дэйма и Биггза
Который был братом Хип Хопа, который был другом No I.D
А No I.D. — мой наставник, вот здесь история и кончается
[Аутро]
Toomp killed this shit
[Intro]
Stadion status
[Refräng]
Min store bror var B.I.G.'s bror
Bruka vara Dame och Biggs' bror
Som var Hip Hop bror, som var No I.D. vän
No I.D. min mentor, nu låt sagan börja
[Vers 1]
Det är Hard Knock Life Tour, utsåld
Bilder i gallerian, köpte Iceberg och skrek ut "Jigga"
Yeah, det är vad vi skriker ut, skriker ut
Du vet namnet måste jag stava det eller berätta om
J-A-Y, och Ye så blyg
Att han inte ens kan gå till sin idol och säga hej
Står där som en mimare och låtar hans chans försvinna
I bakhuvudet, "Han kan ändra ditt liv
Med alla dessa beats jag gjorde, låt han iallafall höra dem
Iallafall kan du skryta till alla dina vänner hemma"
Men han fick mig ur min mammas hus
Sen hjälpte han mig skaffa min mamma ett hus
[Refräng]
Min store bror var B.I.G.'s bror
Bruka vara Dame och Biggs' bror
Som var Hip Hop bror, som var No I.D. vän
No I.D. min mеntor, nu låt sagan börja, börja
Låt sagan börja
Om du känner vad jag känner, vifta era händеr
[Vers 2]
Fräsch av planet, jag är på väg till Baseline
Fick inget, jag ska ta mitt
Runt samma tid som Blueprint 1
Och dessa beats i min ficka var en ritning till han
Jag spelade mina små sånger i rummet
Han skaka hans huvud och sa "Jävlar! Oh, är det du?"
Men vid The Black Album, svimmade jag
Festade i S.O.B och vi hade en fullpackad publik
Store bror hade en show i Madison Square
Och jag tänker "Yeah, yeah, vi kommer dit" men
Inte bara fick jag ingen chans att spotta
Careline sa till mig jag borde köpa två biljetter
Jag antar store bror tänkte lite annorlunda
Och höll hans lille bror i schack, på avstånd
Men allt som jag kände var mer falskt
Gjorde mig mer fokuserad, skrev bara mer starkt
Enda saken jag ville veta är varför jag inte får en chans
Jag antar jag kommer förstå när jag blir äldre
Store bror såg mig på botten
Nu är jag på toppen och alla är på min kuk
[Refräng]
Min store bror var B.I.G.'s bror
Bruka vara Dame och Biggs' bror
Som var Hip Hop bror, som var No I.D. vän
No I.D. min mentor, nu låt sagan börja, börja
Låt sagan börja
Om du känner vad jag känner, vifta era händer
[Vers 3]
Har du någonsin gått i skuggan av en jätte?
Inte bara en kund, Presidito, hola, Hovito
Spelet blir fult så här är ett frikast
Jag var alltid på den andra sidan av dörren
Sen släppte jag "Jesus Walks" nu är jag över tröskeln
Och vi vet, "New Jack City"-fick behålla min bror
Men att vara nummer jag måste jag slå min bror
På "Diamonds" remixen svär jag var bäst
Sen kom min store bror och slog ner mig
Syskonrivalitet, bara jag kunde se
Det var stoltheten i mig som körde mig
Vid Grammis sa jag "Jag inspirerar mig"
Men min store bror som jag alltid försökte vara
När jag sparkade ett flow var det som pick-and-go
Jag antar Beanie's stil var mer som en slam dunk
Och min skit var mer som en finger roll
Men jag hade singlarna
Och tjejerna vid showen kommer mingla, yo, hej, ni vet
Jag sa till Jay jag gjorde en sång med Coldplay
Nästa sak jag vet han har en sång med Coldplay
Jag tänka typ, "Fan, på riktigt"
Översättning, spanska: "No way, José"
Så jag gick och sa till Jay Brown
Skulle vetat att det skulle komma tillbaka
Skulle pratat med dig som en man, skulle sagt till dig först
Men jag sa till någon annan och det gjorde skiten värre
[Brygga]
Min store bror var B.I.G.'s bror
Så här är några ord från er bror
Om du beundrar någon borde du säga till dem
Folk får aldrig blommorna medans de fortfarande kan lukta dem
En idol i mina ögon, gud av spelet
Hjärtat av staden, Roc-a-Fella kedja
Aldrig samma, aldrig någon annan
Nummer ett, Young Hov, också min store bror
[Refräng]
Min store bror var B.I.G.'s bror
Bruka vara Dame och Biggs' bror
Som var Hip Hop bror, som var No I.D. vän
No I.D. min mentor, och det är vart sagan slutar
[Outro]
Toomp döda denna
