Jon Connor - Big Brother lyrics

[Hook: Jon Connor] My big brother is Em's brother, Eazy-E, Yella, and Ren's brother Who was Ice Cube's brother, who was D.O.C.'s friend And became my mentor, now let the story begin [Verse: 1] Lets start at the "Live from the underground" tour with KRIT Second leg of the tour they sent me back to Flint I'm feeling under pressure because it feels like in this business When you think you're about to make it, they can take it in a second But much to my surprise it was a blessing in disguise When life was beating a n***a, I got a DM on Twitter It was Xzibit like "You wanna go on a run?", I never been to Canada Sound like this sh** could be fun, so every night k**ing sh** just to get my art out Stage after stage I'm rapping my f**in' heart out X game me props because he seen I was good Said "he would help me if he got in a position he would" But right after that tour, I was back in the hood Just grateful for that opportunity, and I understood That it was back to the grind, dropped Unconscious State Charting on billboards and I still wasn't signed My homeboys were losing faith, because they were starting to question If I was as good as we thought, there ain't no return on their investment Because we all getting older, whatever that means Guess that means they feel like too old to be having rap dreams No where to go, I never felt so low, till I got a unexpected call after a show It was X he was like "Little homie what you doing?", I said "nothing" He said "I want to let Dre hear your music" Ain't think nothing of it or what it could potentially be Long as you heard my music it was good enough for me I ain't expect nothing, I got off the phone happy Next day X said Dre wanna meet you out in Cali How could a boy from Flint ever dream this day was coming f** bu*terflies I had Eagles in my stomach We sitting at Katana and I'm tripping like the whole night Cause this the moment I've been waiting for my whole life Hit it off instantly, it was a natural chemistry Went to your crib, I'm ripping every beat you spit for me, you see my potential And you see what it could be, can't explain what it meant when you said you understood me Met so many labels and they just didn't get it Now the greatest telling me I could be the greatest with him You made sure my deal was straight, and I got what I deserved, even at your own expense And in this business that's absurd, giving me advice anytime you see me struggle You inspire me daily how you keep it so humble And I want to thank you, not just for giving me my turn, and for helping so many people And not wanting nothing anything in return [Hook]
