[Intro]
F Am Bb
 
[Verse 1]
 
How's your son?
      Gm
(All, all, all tha-thang, thang, all, all tha-thang, thang, thang)
            F            Bb
He made the team this year?
       C
Aight, they said he wasn't tall enough
  F                  Am    Bb
(All, all that glitters is not gold, all gold is not reality, real is what you lays on me)
                                       Gm                F Bb
Ma', we here, we gon' cook this Sunday, okay? So come by
                                C
Damn, that's your new girlfriend?
 
[Verse 1]
                     F
This is family business
                     Am         Bb
And this is for the family that can't be with us
                                                 Gm
And this is for my cousin locked down, know the answer's in us
                          Am      Bb
This why I spit it in my songs so sweet
                      C
like a photo of your granny's picture
                F              Am
Now that you're gone, it hit us
      Bb
Super hard on Thanksgiving and Christmas, this can't be right
        Gm                                         Am
Yo, you heard the track I did, man? "This Can't Be Life"
         Bb                    C
Somebody please say grace, so I can save face
            F                  Am
And have a reason to cover my face
       Bb
I even made you a plate, soul food, know how Granny do it
       Gm                                     Am
Monkey bread on the side, know how the family do it
       Bb                                C
When I brought it, why the guard had to look all through it?
    F                           Am                   Bb
As kids, we used to laugh, who knew that life would move this fast?
                                           Bb
Who knew I'd have to look at you through a glass?
         Gm                                             Am
And look, you tell me you ain't did it, then you ain't did it
 Bb                          C
And if you did, then that's family business
 
[Chorus]
                  F                Am            Bb
And I don't care about (All, all, diamond ring, diamond ring)
                F      Gm
They don't mean a thing
          F
All these fancy things
 C              F     Am  Bb
I tell you that all is    my weight in gold
F      Gm          Am  Bb   C
  Now, all I know, I   know all these things
 
[Verse 2]
                         F
Yeah, this is family business
                 Am        Bb
And this is for everybody standing with us
                                         Bb
Come on, let's take a family Grammy picture
Gm                                       Am
Abi, remember when they ain't believe in me?
        Bb                         C
Now she like, "See! That's my cousin on TV!"
   F               Am          Bb
Now, we gettin' it and we gon' make it
                                          Bb
And they gon' hate it, and I'm his favorite
Gm                Dm            Am
I can't deny it, I'm a straight rider
    Bb                    C
But when we get together, be Electric Slidin'
F                       Bb
Grandma, get 'em shook up
                                  F
Aw, naw, don't open the photobook up
       Gm
I got a Aunt Ruth that can't remember your name
                Bb                        C
But I bet them Polaroids'll send her down memory lane
              F                     Am         Bb
You know that one auntie, you don't mean to be rude
                                        Bb
But every holiday, nobody eating her food
              Gm
And you don't wanna stay there 'cause them your worst cousins
    Bb                        C
Got roaches at they crib like them your first cousins
Gm
Act like you ain't took a bath with your cousin
    Gm
Fit three in the bed if it's six of y'all
                  Gm
I'm talkin' 'bout three by the head and three by the leg
                                             C
But you ain't have to tell my girl I used to pee in the bed
 
[Bridge]
      F           Am    Bb
Rain, rain, rain, go away
           F      Gm         Am      Bb       C
Let the sun come out and all the children say
      F           Am    Bb     F
Rain, rain, rain, go away (Yeah)
                 Gm          Am      Bb       C
Let the sun come out and all the children say (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
 
[Verse 3]
          F                         Am           Bb
I woke up early this morning with a new state of mind
                                      F         Gm
A creative way to rhyme without using nines and guns
                                      Am       Bb
Keep your nose out the sky, keep your heart to God
                           C
And keep your face to the risin' sun
        F                          Am     Bb
All my niggas from the Chi' is my family, dawg
                                                Bb
And my niggas ain't my guys, they my family, dawg
Gm                                          Am
I feel like, one day, you'll understand me, dawg
        Bb                         C
You can still love your man and be manly, dawg
          F                   Am             Bb
You ain't gotta get heated at every housewarmin'
                                                Bb
Sittin' here, grillin' people like George Foreman
Gm
Why Uncle Ray and Aunt Sheila always performin'?
Bb                    C
Second she storm out, then he storm in
F                    Am          Bb
Y'all gon' sit down, have a good time this reunion
                                 Bb
And drink some wine like Communion
Gm                                     Am
And act like everything fine and if it isn't
         Bb                        C

They don't mean a thing, a thing
