Family Business Lyrics - College Dropout - 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 that glitters is not gold) 

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

(real is what you live to be) 

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 Thanksgiving and 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 did the 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, you tell me you ain't did it, then you ain't did it

And if you did, then that's family business 

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 is not gold) my weight in gold (gold is not 

reality) 

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

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 sup 

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 mean to be rude 

But every holiday nobody eatin' her food 

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

Got roaches at their crib like them your first cousins 

Photos 

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 piss in the bed 

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 

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

A creative way to rhyme without usin' knives 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 Sheila always performin'? 

The second she storm out, then he storm 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 

(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 

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 is not gold) my weight in gold (gold is not 

reality) 

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

(oooh) All these things (these things) 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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