Family Business Lyrics

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)
