In The Shadow Of A Giant

Kanye talks about 
His hard knock life
And how he respects 
His hard knock life
He calls big brother
His J- A- Y
And speaks of his brother
Like he’s so fly
So I take this pen
Make the story begin
I’ve done it once 
And I’ll do it again

My big brother
My big brother
Here’s a few words
From your kid brother
Thanks to you brother
My life has changed
I hope you accept this poem
I’ve wrote in exchange 


The story begins 
When I open this book
Memories pull me in 
Like my mouth is hooked
It started way back
When i’d bask in his glory
Pavin the way
When he came out before me
In the shadow of a giant
Since I was a kid
Braggin to my friends
Of all the things that he did
His words cut through me 
Like the edge of a knife
And if I put in a dollar 
He’d change my life

My big brother
My big brother
Here’s a few words
From your kid brother
Thanks to you brother
My life has changed
I hope you accept this poem
I’ve wrote in exchange 


Impressin him 
Means way more to me
A good job from him’s
Like winnin the lottery
He’s the big brother 
I always try to be 
But to my little brother
I fail….miserably
He always helps me 
When I feel so smothered
He’s my big brother 
And I respect no other
He’s so real 
He’d never sell out sell out
And for this reason 
I want to yell out yell out


My big brother
My big brother
Here’s a few words
From your kid brother
Thanks to you brother
My life has changed
I hope you accept this poem
I’ve wrote in exchange
