Family Business Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]How[G]'s your son?[Em]
[D]He made the team this [G]year?
[A]Aight, they said he wasn't tall enough
[D](All, all that glitters is [G]not gold)
Ma', we here,
we gon' cook this Sunday, [Em]okay?
So come [D]by
[G]Damn, that's your new girl[A]friend

[Verse 1]
This is family [D]business
And this is for the family that [G]can't be with us
And this is for my cousin locked down,
know the [Em]answer's in us
This why I spit it [D]in my songs
so [G]sweet, like a photo of your [A]granny's picture
Now that you're [D]gone, it hit us
Super [G]hard on Thanksgiving and Christmas,
this can't be right
Yo, you [Em]heard the track I did, man?
"This Can't [D]Be Life"
Somebody [G]please say grace,
so [A]I can save face
And have a [D]reason to cover my face
I even [G]made you a plate,
soul food, know how Granny do it
Monkey [Em]bread on the side,
know how the fa[D]mily do it
When I [G]brought it,
why the guard had to [A]look all through it?
As [D]kids, we used to laugh,
who knew that life would [G]move this fast?
Who knew I'd have to look at you
through a glass?
And [Em]look, you tell me you ain't did it,
then [D]you ain't did it
And [G]if you did, then that's [A]family business

[Chorus 1]
And I don't care a[D]bout
(...diamond ring, [G]diamond ring)
They don't mean a [Em]thing
[D]All these [G]fancy things
[A]I tell you that a[D]ll is m[G]y weight in gold
Now, [Em]all I know, I[D] k[G]now al[A]l these things

[Verse 2]
Yeah, this is family [D]business
And this is for everybody [G]standing with us
Come on, let's take a family Grammy picture
A[Em]bi, remember when they ain't believe [D]in me?
Now she [G]like,
"See! That's my cou[A]sin on TV!"
[D]Now, we gettin' it and we gon' [G]make it
And they gon' hate it, and I'm his favorite
[Em]I can't deny it, I'm a str[D]aight rider
But [G]when we get together, be E[A]lectric Slidin'
[D]Grandma, get 'em shook [G]up
Aw, naw, don't open the photobook up
I got [Em]a Aunt Ruth
that can't remember [D]your name
But I bet them [G]Polaroids'll send her down
[A]memory lane
You know that [D]one auntie,
you don't mean to be [G]rude
But every holiday, nobody eating her food
And you don't [Em]wanna stay there
'cause them your [D]worst cousins
Got [G]roaches at they crib
like [A]them your first cousins
[Em]Act like you ain't took a bath with your cousin
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 [A]pee in the bed

[Bridge 1]
Rain, [D]rain, rain, go [G]away
Let the sun come [Em]out and a[D]ll the c[G]hildren [A]say
Rain, [D]rain, rain, go [G]away
Let the sun come [Em]out a[D]nd all the c[G]hildren [A]say

[Verse 3]
I woke up [D]early this morning
with a new state of [G]mind
A creative way to rhyme
without using nines and [Em]guns
Keep your nose out the sky,
[D]keep your heart to [G]God
And keep your face to the [A]risin' sun
All my [D]niggas from the Chi' is my family, [G]dawg
And my niggas ain't my guys,
they my family, dawg
I feel [Em]like, one day,
you'll understand [D]me, dawg
You can [G]still love your man
and be [A]manly, dawg
You ain't [D]gotta get heated
at every house[G]warmin'
Sittin' here, grillin' people like George Foreman
Why [Em]Uncle Ray and Aunt Sheila
always [D]performin'?
[G]Second she storm out, [A]then he storm in
[D]Y'all gon' sit down,
have a good [G]time this reunion
And drink some wine like Communion
And [Em]act like everything fine a[D]nd if it isn't
We ain't [G]letting everybody
in our [A]family business, uh

[Chorus 2]
[D](All, all, diamond ring, [G]diamond ring)
They don't mean a [Em]thing
(All, all, all tha-thang, thang,
all, [A]all tha-thang, thang, thang)
[D](All, all that glitters is [G]not gold...)
They don't mean a [Em]thing, a [A]thing
And I don't care a[D]bout[G]
They don't mean a [Em]thing
[D]All these [A]fancy things
I tell you that [D]all is [G]my weight in gold
And [Em]all I know, [D]I kn[G]ow a[A]ll these things

[Outro 1]
[D]All the[G]se things
All these [Em]things
[D]All these [G]things
[A]All these [D]things
All [G]these things
All these [Em]things
[D]All these [G]things
[A]All these [D]things
All [G]these things
All these [Em]things
[D]All these [G]things
[A]All these [D]things
All [G]these things
All these [Em]things
[D]All these [G]things
[A]All these things
Let's get Stevie out of jail
