Versuri 20. Family Business

Hey, son, you made the team this year? 
Aw th, they sayin' you weren't tall enough? 
Yeah, me, we gon' cook this up here okay 
Just come by, later, is that your new girlfriend? 
 
This is family business, an' this is for the family that can't be with us 
An' this is for my cousin locked down, know the answer's in it 
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 Thanksgiving an' Christmas, this can't be right 
Yeah, you heard the track I did, man, this can't be life 
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 through 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? 
An' look, you tell me you ain't did it, then you ain't did it 
An' if you did, then that's family business 
 
An' I don't care 'bout all the diamond rings 
They don't mean a thing, all these fancy things 
I tell you that all my weight in gold 
Now all I know, I know all these things 
 
This is family business an' 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 an' we gon' make it 
An' they gon' hate it, an' 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 a Aunt Ruth that can't remember your name 
But I bet them polaroids'll send her down memory lane 
 
You know that one auntie, ya' don't mean to be rude 
But every holiday nobody eatin' her food 
An' 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, if it's six of y'all 
I'm talkin' 'bout three by the head an' three by the leg 
But you ain't have to tell my girl I used to pee in the bed 
 
Rain, rain, rain go away 
Let the sun come out an' all the children say 
Rain, rain, rain go away 
Let the sun come out an' all the children say 
 
I woke up early this mornin' with a new state of mind 
A creative way to rhyme without usin' nines an' guns 
Keep your nose out the sky, keep your heart to God 
An' keep your face to the risin' sun 
 
All my niggas from the Chi, that's my family, dog 
An' 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 an' be manly, dog 
 
You ain't got to get heated at every house warmin' 
Sittin' here, grillin' people like George Foreman 
Why Uncle Ray an' Aunt Shiela always performin'? 
Second she storm out, then he storm in 
 
Y'all gon' sit down, have a good time this reunion 
An' drink some wine like Communion 
An' act like everything fine an' if it isn't 
We ain't lettin' everybody in our family business 
 
All the diamond rings they don't mean a thing 
They don't mean a thing 
They don't mean a thing, a thing 
 
An' I don't care 'bout all the diamond rings 
They don't mean a thing, all these fancy things 
I tell you that all my weight in gold 
Now all I know, I know all these things 
 
All these things, all these things 
All these things, all these things 
All these things, all these things 
 
C.L.K Mercedes Benz 
A whole lotta money 
Mommy and Daddy please stop fighting 
Let's get Stevie outta jail
