[Intro: Kanye West] Hey son (all, all, all the things, things) You made the team this year? (all, all, all the things things) Aw th-, they say you wasn´t tall enough?
(all, all, all that glitters is not gold) Yeah me we gon´ cook this up okey(now gold is not a reality) (real is what you live to be) You got a new girlfriend?
[Verse 1: Kanye West] 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 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 Thankgiving 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 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? 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
[Hook: Choir] 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) I´m waiting for Now all I know I know All these things
[Verse 2: Kanye West] 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 they 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 shook up 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, we don´t mean to be rude But every holiday nobody eatin´ the food And 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 and three by the leg But you ain´t 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 mornin´ with a new state of mind and create a way to rhyme without usin´ nines 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 Shiela 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
[Interlude: Choir] (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, all, all the things)
(all the, all the glitteris not gold) They don´t mean a thing, a thing
[Hook: Choir] 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) I´m wating for Now all I know I know All these things
