Keep the Family Close

It's a little chilly out there

How they standin' out 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 meetin' 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 goin' through?

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

You judge me 'fore you met me, yeah, it figures

I make all the players' anthems for the real ****

With my dad out in Tennessee is where I belong

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

Yeah, I don't know what's goin' 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, hopin' that the stars align

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

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

But you always had somethin' to say every other time

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

I'm foodin' and servin' them all like I work for minimum wage

Someone up there must just love testin' my patience

Someone up there must be in need of some entertainment

Forgiveness for your ways

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

Same way I'm right here, still feelin' a way

Same way I'm realizin' 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 of 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, seh feh
