Family Business Lyrics - Kanye West

1 How's your son? (all, all, all the things, things)

2 He make the team this year? (all, all, all the things things)

3 Aw th-, they said he wasn't tall enough?

4 (all, all, all that glitters is not gold)

5 Yeah me we gon' cook this up (all gold is not reality)

6 (real is what you live to be)

7 This is family business

8 And this is for the family that can't be with us

9 And this is for my cousin locked down, know the answer's in us

10 That's why I spit it in my songs so sweet

11 Like a photo of your granny's picture

12 Now that you're gone it hit us

13 Super hard on Thanksgiving and Christmas, this can't be right

14 Yeah you heard the track I did man, this can't be life

15 Somebody please say grace so I can save face

16 And have a reason to cover my face

17 I even made you a plate, soul food, know how Granny do it

18 Monkey bread on the side, know how the family do it

19 When I brought it why did the guard have to look all through it?

20 As kids we used to laugh

21 Who knew that life would move this fast?

22 Who knew I'd have to look at you through a glass?

23 And look, you tell me you ain't did it, then you ain't did it

24 And if you did, then that's family business

25 And I don't care 'bout (all the, all the diamond rings, diamond rings)

26 They don't mean a thing (all, all, all the things)

27 All these fancy things

28 I tell you that all (all the glitter is not gold) my weight in gold (gold is not reality)

29 Now all I know I know all these things (real is what you live to be)

30 This is family business

31 And this is for everybody standin' with us

32 Come on, let's take a family Grammy picture

33 Abby, remember when they ain't believe in me?

34 Now she like, "See, that's my cousin on TV"

35 Now, we gettin' it and we gon' make it

36 And y'all gon' hate it and I'm his favorite

37 I can't deny it, I'm a straight rider

38 But when we get together be electric slidin'

39 Grandma, get 'em shook up

40 Aw naw, don't open the photo book up

41 I got an Aunt Ruth that can't remember your name

42 But I bet them Polaroids'll send her down memory lane

43 You know that one auntie, you don't mean to be rude

44 But every holiday nobody eatin' her food

45 And you don't wanna stay there 'cause them your worst cousins

46 Got roaches at their crib like them your first cousins

47 Act like you ain't took a bath with your cousins

48 Fit three in the bed while six of y'all

49 I'm talkin' 'bout three by the head and three by the leg

50 But you ain't have to tell my girl I used to pee in the bed

51 Rain, rain, rain go away

52 Let the sun come out and all the children say

53 Rain, rain, rain go away

54 Let the sun come out and all the children say

55 I woke up early this mornin' with a new state of mind

56 A creative way to rhyme without usin' knives and guns

57 Keep your nose out the sky, keep your heart to God

58 And keep your face to the risin' sun

59 All my niggas from the Chi, that's my family dog

60 And my niggas ain't my guys, they my family dog

61 I feel like one day you'll understand me dog

62 You can still love your man and be manly dog

63 You ain't got to get heated at every house warmin'

64 Sittin' here, grillin' people like George Foreman

65 Why Uncle Ray and Aunt Sheila always performin'?

66 The second she storm out, then he storm in

67 Y'all gon' sit down, have a good time this reunion

68 And drink some wine like Communion

69 And act like everything fine and if it isn't

70 We ain't lettin' everybody in our family business

71 (all the, all the diamond rings, diamond rings)

72 They don't mean a thing (all, all, all the things)

73 They don't mean a thing

74 (all the, all the diamond rings, diamond rings)

75 They don't mean a thing, a thing

76 And I don't care 'bout (all the, all the diamond rings, diamond rings)

77 They don't mean a thing (all, all, all the things)

78 All these fancy things

79 I tell you that all (all the glitter is not gold) my weight in gold (gold is not reality)

80 Now all I know I know all these things (real is what you live to be)

81 (oooh) All these things (these things)

82 All these things (oooh) all these things (these things)

83 All these things (oooh) all these things (these things)

84 All these things (oooh) all these things (these things)

85 All these things (oooh) all these things (these things)

86 All these things (oooh) all these things (these things)

87 All these things (oooh) all these things (these things)

88 All these things (oooh) all these things (these things)
