Song lyrics Family business by Kanye West

[Intro: Kanye West]
Howīs 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 wasnīt tall enough?
(all, all, all the glitter is not gold)
Yeah me we gonī 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 canīt be with us
And this is for my cousin locked down, know the answerīs in us
Thatīs why I spit it in my songs so sweet
Like a photo of your grannyīs picture
Now that youīre gone it hit us
Super hard on Thankgiving and Christmas, this canīt be right
Yeah you heard the track I did man, this canīt 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 to it?
As kids we used to laugh
Who knew that life would move this fast?
Who knew Iīd have to look at you through a glass?
And look, tell me you ainīt did it, you ainīt did it
And if you did, then thatīs family business

[Hook: Choir]
And I donīt care ībout (all the, all the diamond rings, diamond rings)
They donīt mean a thing (all, all, all the things)
All these fancy things
I tell you that all (all the glitter) my weight in gold
Now all I know I know all these things

[Verse 2: Kanye West]
This is family business
And this is for everybody standinī with us
Come on, letīs take a family Grammy picture
Abby, remember when they ainīt believe in me?
Now she like "See, thatīs my cousin on TV"
Now, we gettinī it and we gonī make it
And yīall gonī hate it and Iīm his favorite
I canīt deny it, Iīm a straight rider
But when we get together be electric slidinī
Grandma, get īem shook up
Aw naw, donīt open the photo book up
I got an Aunt Ruth that canīt remember your name
But I bet them Polaroidsīll send her down memory lane
You know that one auntie, you donīt wanna be rude
But every holiday nobody eatinī her food
And you donīt wanna stay there cuz them your worst cousins
Got roaches at their crib like them your first cousins
Act like you ainīt took a bath with your cousins
Fit three in the bed while six of yīall
Iīm talkinī ībout three by the head and three by the leg
But you ainīt 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 morninī with a new state of mind
A creative way to rhyme without usinī nines and guns
Keep your nose out the sky, keep your heart to God
And keep your face to the risinī sun
All my niggas from the Chi, thatīs my family dog
And my niggas ainīt my guys, they my family dog
I feel like one day youīll understand me dog
You can still love your man and be manly dog
You ainīt got to get heated at every house warminī
Sittinī here, grillinī people like George Foreman
Why Uncle Ray and Aunt Shiela always performinī?
The second she storms out then he storms in
Yīall gonī sit down, have a good time this reunion
And drink some wine like Communion
And act like everything fine and if it isnīt
We ainīt lettinī everybody in our family business

[Interlude: Choir]
(all the, all the diamond rings, diamond rings)
They donīt mean a thing (all, all, all the things)
They donīt mean a thing
(all the, all the diamond rings, diamond rings)
They donīt mean a thing, a thing

[Hook: Choir]
And I donīt care ībout (all the, all the diamond rings, diamond rings)
They donīt mean a thing (all, all, all the things)
All these fancy things
I tell you that all (all the glitter) my weight in gold
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)
