Keep The Family Close
[Intro]It's a little chilly out thereHow you can stand there is beyond me
[Hook]All of my "let's just be friends" are friends I don't have anymoreHow do you not check on me when things go wrongGuess I should've tried to keep my family closerMuch closerAll of my "let's just be friends" are friends I don't have anymoreGuess that's what they say you need family forCause I can't depend on you anymore
[Verse 1]Always saw you for what you could've beenEver since you met meLike when Chrysler made that one car that looked just like the BentleyI always saw you for what you could've beenAnd even when it's business with you it's personal againI knew you before you made ends meet and now we're meeting our end
[Bridge]And it's all because you chose a sideYou're supposed to put your pride aside and ride for meGuess it wasn't timeAnd of course you went and chose a side that wasn't mine
[Verse 2]You're so predictable I hate people like youKennedy Road taught me not to trust people like youHow you supposed to figure out what I'm going throughYou can't even figure out what's going on with youYou judge me 'fore you met me yeah it figuresI make all the player's anthems for the real niggasWith my dad out in Tennessee is where I belongOut here in L.A. I don't know what's going onI don't know what's going on
[Bridge]And it's all because you chose a sideYou're supposed to put your pride aside and ride for meGuess it wasn't timeAnd of course you went and chose a side that wasn't mine
[Verse 3]You sit and you pray hoping that the stars alignMy luck is a sure thing cause I'm living rightWhen I needed you, you couldn't give me any adviceBut you always had something to say every other timeEverybody that I met on the way tries to get in the wayI'm fooding and serving them all like I'm working for minimum wageSomeone up there must just love testing my patienceSomeone up there must be in need of some entertainmentForgiveness for your waysIf I ever loved ya, I'll always love ya that's how I was raisedSame way I'm right here still feeling the waySame way I'm realizing on a day to day
[Hook]All of my "let's just be friends" are friends I don't have anymoreHow do you not check on me when things go wrongGuess I should've tried to keep my family closerMuch closerAll of my "let's just be friends" are friends I don't have anymoreGuess that's what they say you need your family forCause I can't depend on you anymoreMuch closer
[Outro]Anytime people want to start problemsIt's like “for real, are you dumb?”You know who mans areI'm not afraid no gyal heart manAnd I'm not afraid of no cyattieAnd I'm not afraid of no waste yute neitherSo anybody who want it can get itIt's that fact
