Kanye West - 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 had guard 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)
