Raekwon - Letter To Big Lyrics






Yo Big what up baby
I just wanna talk to you brother, Let you know man
I got super love for you, You heard
Just a couple of bars that I wrote
I just wanted to let my presence be felt to you, You know
We love you my nigga, Believe that

Yo Big what's going on good brother
Baby Pa I miss you, I wrote a dart to describe my issues
The rap game is getting too scarce
Besides in New York, The money game is getting to weird
But on another note you Legend, A Father with his brethren
A stepper, A Coogi sweater that's cost effected
Gangstas from the Sty, That's you
They thought we had a beef kid, But I would never violate you
You from a part where I come from too
Just because we rhyme on a dime and had albums that blew
And that beef was a sucker beef, Friendly competition
But filled with crazy love underneath
You my nigga, Yo pardon me, But I'ma be a man about it
A roll up a big fat jar of weed and smoke for your legacy Don
I shook your hand in Cali, We led by gones be by gones
This a song to a fallen hero, Make no mistakes O.G
We Good Fellas, Always Dinero, The movies that you made you slay’d
Rhymes was impeccable, Today you are late Marvin Gaye
Every time I shine I'm thinking, We would've rocked together
One way or another we spank it, Anyway I'm just here for the love purpose
When a thug surface can't nobody judge us, Fuck curse'n
Casting out my love for real, You Don't out, Gangsta'd up
Keep it real baby you the deal
Love your Momma, Love your seeds, This is me
Love Puff, Love Kim, Love Faith, Love D & Cease
I'ma be easy, I just needed to breathe
And let you know I feel you like the P's
Appreciate your status my G, Peace Teflon
To me you the King of the streets, One

Raekwon Letter To Big Comments
  1. H.... ....

    Wow, Nuff Props to The Chef for this one...🙏🏾🔥

  2. D.... H....

    Respect ✊🏾

  3. b.... b....

    Better than jada's 5x

  4. W.... o....

    I don't understand Rae comparing Big to Marvin Gaye, when another East Coast MC namely Kool G Rap already said years ago that to him, "Tupac is the Marvin Gaye of Hip Hop." His exact words.

  5. h.... I....

    pac wasnt on these ny cats level lyrically.

    h.... I....

    Totally different styles

  6. P.... M....

    Love is Love

  7. D.... L....

    pac lovers all in the comment area shit dont stop you never see people on a pac site saying any kind of hateful things coming from biggie fan or wu tang fan! pac was straight garbage to even bring him up in the comments is just retarded!!!! theres a reason he didnt make the billboard top ten!!!

  8. h.... ....

    11 unlikes, really??? you know nothing

  9. C.... ....

    dope Raekwon respect

  10. J.... H....

    i love this

  11. R.... 4....

    Wow Rae I respect you and am a fan now Biggie the One and Only. 

  12. d.... ....

    Tell me anyone else who is as real as pac, who made that made songs in such a short time, somebody who gives the same passion in their songs.. tell me someone who sang about women to a degree that he did, tell me who is as original as him.. tell me someone who is influential as him... LOL , i mean that he was like a prophet type shit.. no not fuckin jewelery , for you to even consider that makes you retarded.. by shine i mean soulful .. he relates to so many people ... the mot consistent too

  13. r.... ....

    Also I don't even know what you mean by "shine" but if you mean to say he was a great performer he still was no where near the best... and if you're talking about his jewelery then I can't even take you seriously...
    And guess what? I just denied it XD I've heard enough of his joints to know well enough.

    And anyone who still thinks he's alive is simply put, delusional. I mean where's the proof? He was on top of the world and loved the attention way too much to fake his own death.

  14. r.... ....

    In his own category? To me, there is nothing Pac did that someone else did not do better. The difference is Pac just had more press 'cause of all the drama and he has been forever immortalized because of the way he went out no disrespect.
    And now he has stans by the millions out here in the west coast, always tends to get on my nerves when someone out here proclaims Pac to be the greatest even though they clearly don't know enough about real Hip-Hop to make an informed opinion...

    r.... ....

    Lol i know this post is old. but you are so ignorant pac was the first to do so many things so all the other rappers are all doing shit he made possible your comment is dumb you obviously dont know what you are talking about

  15. d.... ....

    he didnt take shit back from the westcoast though did he now ..lol how could he of .. when Pac was there

  16. d.... ....

    lol , i bet your one of those cats that only listen to east coast music..because of the lyricism , look Pac is in his own category.. he shines like no one else did/does.. cant deny it ... he's like elvis of rap ... people still think he's alive cuz they cant let it go.. anyways whatever i say wont change your mind .. so bye

  17. r.... ....

    laughable, goes against everything the dude just mentioned to an even greater extent than BIG

  18. d.... ....

    And above all those is Pac :-) the greatest of all time

    d.... ....

    dmakdsna lol fuck tupac biggie the true king! Reconize boy

  19. I.... K....

    and? people don't have the right to change their opinion over 15 years? arrogant unintelligent ass nigga

  20. P.... ....

    tupac>big

    P.... ....

    you wished, big could flow, tupac talked about his wanna be life of a thug. he was aways getting his ass kicked.

  21. J.... S....

    How he fake he bein a man about it only reason why dey was beefin was 4 da crown of ny nickas need 2 stop hatin on rae ckuz he da truth

  22. l.... ....

    YO where an I get that sweatshirt?!

  23. D.... ....

    I think people say he is the greatest because he took hip hop back from the West Coast. No way was Biggie the greatest rapper of all time and you are right. Slick Rick first album was better than both Biggie's albums in my opinion.

    D.... ....

    Datruthshines shut the fuck up man! Bigs flow , voice , delivery blow up that pirate black sparrow

  24. D.... ....

    BIG was dope no doubt but after Ready Or Die you could tell he got a lil more comfortable in the game and his flow would go off and on hungry which showed inLife After Death. Thought it was a great album but Ready To Die was better. Nas touched on the beef between Raekwon and BIG and Nas said that Rae thought BIG was a biter. This song is weak. Took a man to make it consider the drama but the track wasn't sincere and the flow was off. Just my opinion though

  25. A.... ....

    @WINYARD87 - LMAO - THATS the greatest song ever written

  26. K.... ....

    @WINYARD87 best letter ever haha lol

  27. f.... I....

    @WINYARD87 lol

  28. J.... N....

    @Ace5150 I personally think that Lil Cease´s version was great as well

  29. M.... O....

    @ORIGINALGANGST4
    this deticated to B.I.G but R.I.P Big L

  30. j.... ....

    @AlizeCiz " they thought we had a beef kid, but i would never violate you, your from a part i come from too, just because we rhyme on a dime and had albums thatblew, and that beef was a sucka beef, friendly competition

  31. A.... R....

    Jadakiss did it best bout fuck its good that everybody came out and showed some love.

  32. j.... c....

    /watch?v=BqAdmybxoMo&NR=1 see how Rhianna and Chris brown made up after previous scandal

  33. B.... ....

    It's crazy that a nigga with a rep as big as Rae, with a classic album as influential as Rae, and coming from a legacy as large and as dominant as Rae, would give it to BIG that he's the king of the streets. That's love nd real hip hop right there. i dnt think this shyt will ever come bacc the way its supposed to #BlueHeartFam

  34. K.... M....

    Raekwon said that Eazy E and wu were going 2 make song together but that never happened :(

  35. S.... ....

    What is this Instrumental?

  36. P.... F....

    what the original intrumental ?? ...cuz i heard maino,lil cease,jada and a bunch of other used this beat too

  37. D.... ....

    lol you out layed marvin gaye.

  38. k.... ....

    real talk shit was bananas from the dart expert!!!!

  39. J.... D....

    so sick considering they had beeef.
    much love.

  40. K.... B....

    Vary few legends left.

    this song is about as real as it gets.

  41. D.... S....

    Big a hero to the people who love him love him. Period.

  42. K.... K....

    @VoiceOfReezun plus they wasnt even cool when big was alive lol

  43. K.... K....

    @VoiceOfReezun yea you right, he too ovverated and if he was still alive i bet hed be wit puffy doin some commercial shit too, not to take anything away from BIG tho, he is up there, but since there can never be a GOAT, its all about prefference

  44. S.... G....

    @TooRealForYall cuz he aint no he was gonna die like dat... dat was the last thing on his mind

  45. R.... S....

    The Sky is the Limit was a song that should've inspired the idiots who said all he rapped about was bitches, raping women and beating kids... Damn, listen to the lyrics you fuckin critics and learn something. Biggie told great stories and was a serious poet. Oh yeah, if people want to consider him a hero, then he's their hero... Get a life critics, understand these people have love for BIG so understand their feelings and just deal with it....

  46. T.... O....

    @MrKavfc I'm also tired of niggas saying he was the greatest rapper of all time, when he ain't even better than Raekwon or Ghost Face for that matter. Biggie was a talented lyricist, great story teller (but not better than Slick Rick) but to say he is the greatest is a slap in the face to cats like Rakim, Kool G Rap, AZ, Slick Rick, Big Daddy Kane, KRS-ONE who was lyrically better than B.I.G. and have a wayyy bigger body of work. I'll give him top 20, all time, but that's it!

    T.... O....

    Tyree OG Hoodsta u tripping if raekwon said it out his own mouth how u disagree with I'm from that era to big daddy rakim KRS Kool g ll big was the best of the best he was big daddy x2 was as hard as rakim n could flip styles like KRS big da 🐐 forever

  47. T.... O....

    @MrKavfc Yo on some real, I humble myself and respond back to you cause what you said was real and I can respect that, but at the same time, as black men, if we calling cats like biggie a hero, then we need to do some serious re-evaluation, normally a hero is someone who inspires you to be better and be greater, biggie did neither through his music, all he talked about was foul, pseudo gangsta shit, slapping babies, raping kids and all that, that's a hero to niggas???

    T.... O....

    typical biggie hater

  48. T.... O....

    Rae is my dude, but come on biggie wasn't no damn hero, and to say his name in the same sentence with Marvin Gaye is some straight up bull-shit!! That distinction belongs to Pac and niggas can't front, biggie never made not one inspirational or uplifting song to black women or the black race..Pac made too many to count! Rae, I know you did this from within, but this was an EPIC FAIL!

    T.... O....

    stfu dipshit

  49. s.... ....

    @RohamK96 thug life is real ma man...
    pac did many things we did not hear after his death...
    poetry,gave allot of money...look at his testament...
    like pac said fuck the fame

  50. U.... J....

    @RohamK96 i dont need to bet pac and big were friends i know that Pac let Big do song with him but puffy and suge set up beef for money.

  51. R.... ....

    all the biggies enemies after biggies death they were writing letters and tributes to him, like rae, nas and... except u no...pac. doesnt mean its bad, it just means dat at the end they were all just freinds. but its just the race, race to be the king of ny, or the whole rap game... but i bet u all the east coast west coast shit was a set up for money... and it costed their lives... i bet u big and pac were freind, R.I.P bros...

  52. D.... K....

    @adict108 Well who doesn't? Rae, Ghost, Gza, and Deck would be sooo dope with Biggie or pac. No doubt homie but there's so many rappers I want to see collaborating other than these guys. I would love to see AZ, Nas, Rae, Ghost, Kool G Rap do an album together...I know it would prob never happen but that's just too dope to even imagine.

  53. L.... P....

    i know that clown did not say dre is a better rapper than pac, wtf were you listening to for all those years. dr dre will tell you he is nowhere on tupacs level. i forgive you for your crazy thoughts, u just might be high right now, on crack.

  54. j.... ....

    @GizHiTek man dre doesnt even write most of his rhymes man talking about hes a better rapper than pac get the fuck outta here...

  55. a.... ....

    @dk0801 first off i know that, i have both albums so yeah, im talking bout more then just one member of the wu, rae, ghost, gza

  56. D.... K....

    @adict108 I hate when people talk about shit they have no idea about. You're a good example cuz if you knew biggie and pac then you would've known that Method man actually featured on BOTH biggie and pac's albums while they were still ALIVE.

  57. v.... ....

    @adict108 Pac did a song with Method Man (and the demo had the Rebel INS on it also). "Got My Mind Made Up" from All Eyez on Me.

  58. a.... ....

    i woulda liked to see wu tang collabe with Big and 2Pac there were rumors that Pac wanted to do songs with members of the wu

  59. I.... ....

    @JFFxVector Ha your the fucking "tool" for liking Maino's wack ass Raekwon is a Wu Tang soldier enuff said and for your info Maino's version is a copy also

  60. J.... B....

    This song is a copy of letter to pac by maino. Who ever likes this song is a fucking tool

    J.... B....

    Jeff Balerud first off Jadakiss did it first no what I talking bout n stop hating

  61. L.... ....

    @sk8ter904 who didn't do a letter to big?

  62. I.... K....

    even though it was petty beef...it still takes a man to recite a song like this...Raekwon God bless you...Biggie Smalls rest in peace

  63. a.... ....

    @GOAReNESS345 there was just problems between rae/ghostface and big, they said he copied nas but meth said the others had mad luv for BIG, i would loved to hear members of wu tang other then meth to collaborate w/big
