Family Business lyrics

Artist  : Kanye West 
Song : Family Business
 


[Intro: Kanye West]
How's your son? (all, all,
all the things, things)
He make the team this
year? (all, all, all the things things)
Aw
th-, they said he wasn't tall enough?
(all,
all, all the glitter in that gold)
Yeah me we
gon' cook this up (now gold is not a
reality)
(real is what you live to
be)

[Verse 1: Kanye West]
This is
family business
And this is for the family
that can't be with us
And this is for my
cousin locked down, know the answer's in
us
That's why I spit it in my songs so
sweet
Like a photo of your granny's
picture
Now that you're gone it hit
us
Super hard on Thankgiving and Christmas,
this can't be right
Yeah you heard the track I
did man, this can't be light
Somebody please
say grace so I can save face
And have a reason
to cover my face
I even made you a plate, soul
food, know how Granny do it
Monkey bread on
the side, know how the family do it
When I
brought it why did God have to look all to
it?
As kids we used to laugh
Who knew that
life would move this fast?
Who knew I'd have
to look at you through a glass?
And look, tell
me you ain't did it, you ain't did it
And if
you did, then that's family
business

[Hook: Choir]
And I don't care
'bout (all the, all the diamond rings, diamond
rings)
They don't mean a thing (all, all, all
the things)
All these fancy things
I tell
you that all (all the glitter) I'm waiting
for
Now all I know I know all these
things

[Verse 2: Kanye West]
This is
family business
And this is for everybody
standin' with us
Come on, let's take a family
Grammy picture
Abby, remember when they ain't
believe in me?
Now she like "See, that's my
cousin on TV"
Now, we gettin' it and we gon'
make it
And y'all gon' hate it and I'm his
favorite
I can't deny it, I'm a straight
rider
But when we get together be electric
slidin'
Grandma, get 'em shook up
Aw naw,
don't open the photo book up
I got an Aunt
Ruth that can't remember your name
But I bet
them Polaroids'll send her down memory
lane
You know that one auntie, you don't wanna
be rude
But every holiday nobody eatin' her
food
And you don't wanna stay there cuz them
your worst cousins
Got roaches at their crib
like them your first cousins
Act like you
ain't took a bath with your cousins
Fit three
in the bed while six of y'all
I'm talkin'
'bout three by the head and three by the
leg
But you ain't have to tell my girl I used
to pee in the bed

[Interlude:
Choir]
Rain, rain, rain go away
Let the sun
come out and all the children say
Rain, rain,
rain go away
Let the sun come out and all the
children say

[Verse 3: Kanye West]
I
woke up early this mornin' with a new state of
mind
A creative way to rhyme without usin'
nines and guns
Keep your nose out the sky,
keep your heart to God
And keep your face to
the risin' sun
All my niggas from the Chi,
that's my family dog
And my niggas ain't my
guys, they my family dog
I feel like one day
you'll understand me dog
You can still love
your man and be manly dog
You ain't got to get
heated at every house warmin'
Sittin' here,
grillin' people like George Foreman
Why Uncle
Ray and Aunt Shiela always performin'?
The
second she storms out then he storms in
Y'all
gon' sit down, have a good time this
reunion
And drink some wine like
Communion
And act like everything fine and if
it isn't
We ain't lettin' everybody in our
family business

[Interlude: Choir]
(all
the, all the diamond rings, diamond rings)
They
don't mean a thing (all, all, all the
things)
They don't mean a thing
(all the,
all the diamond rings, diamond rings)
They
don't mean a thing, a thing

[Hook:
Choir]
And I don't care 'bout (all the, all
the diamond rings, diamond rings)
They don't
mean a thing (all, all, all the things)
All
these fancy things
I tell you that all (all
the glitter) I'm waiting for
Now all I know I
know all these things

[Females:] (oooh)
All these things (these things)
[Males:] All
these things (oooh) all these things (these
things)
[F:] All these things (oooh) all these
things (these things)
[M:] All these things
(oooh) all these things (these things)
[F:]
All these things (oooh) all these things (these
things)
[M:] All these things (oooh) all these
things (these things)
[F:] All these things
(oooh) all these things (these things)
[M:]
All these things (oooh) all these things (these
things)
