The lyrics of "Big Brother" possess an honest, heartfelt examination of the complexities that encompass West's relationship with Jay-Z. Throughout the song, the pacing of West's rapping varies, from swift raps typical of hip-hop music to a slower style reminiscent of spoken word. During West's second delivery of the chorus of "Big Brother", after the end of its first verse, the song incorporates more musical aspects, including handclaps, percussion, and a bassline. Approximately half-way through its first verse, the song suddenly adopts synthesizer sounds which replicate the melody of the string section. Kanye then begins reciting the chorus of "Big Brother" in a rhythmic, half-sung manner, followed by him rapping its smooth, melodic verses. The song opens with West's voice uttering the words, "Stadium status.", backed by string arrangements, pounding drums, a distorted guitar riff and soft piano keys.
