Lyrics of "Keep The Family Close"

It's a little chilly out there

How you can stand there is beyond me

All of my "let's just be friends" are friends I don't have anymore

How do you not check on me when things go wrong

Guess I should've tried to keep my family closer

Much closer

All of my "let's just be friends" are friends I don't have anymore

Guess that's what they say you need family for

Cause I can't depend on you anymore

Always saw you for what you could've been

Ever since you met me

Like when Chrysler made that one car that looked just like the Bentley

I always saw you for what you could've been

And even when it's business with you it's personal again

I knew you before you made ends meet and now we're meeting our end

And it's all because you chose a side

You're supposed to put your pride aside and ride for me

Guess it wasn't time (yeah)

And of course you went and chose a side that wasn't mine

You're so predictable I hate people like you

Kennedy Road taught me not to trust people like you

How you supposed to figure out what I'm going through

You can't even figure out what's going on with you

You judge me 'fore you met me yeah it figures

I make all the player's anthems for the real niggas

With my dad out in Tennessee is where I belong

Out here in L.A. I don't know what's going on

I don't know what's going on

And it's all because you chose a side

You're supposed to put your pride aside and ride for me

Guess it wasn't time (yeah)

And of course you went and chose a side that wasn't mine

You sit and you pray hoping that the stars align

My luck is a sure thing cause I'm living right

When I needed you, you couldn't give me any advice

But you always had something to say every other time

Everybody that I met on the way tries to get in the way

I'm fooding and serving them all like I'm working for minimum wage

Someone up there must just love testing my patience

Someone up there must be in need of some entertainment

Forgiveness for your ways

If I ever loved ya, I'll always love ya that's how I was raised

Same way I'm right here still feeling the way

Same way I'm realizing on a day to day that

All of my "let's just be friends" are friends I don't have anymore

How do you not check on me when things go wrong

Guess I should've tried to keep my family closer

Much closer

All of my "let's just be friends" are friends I don't have anymore

Guess that's what they say you need your family for

Cause I can't depend on you anymore

Much closer

Anytime people want to start problems

It's like "for real, are you dumb?"

You know who mans are

I'm not afraid no gyal heart man

And I'm not afraid of no cyattie

And I'm not afraid of no waste yute neither

So anybody who want it can get it
