Keep The Family Close Lyrics By Drake

    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 la 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

    girl spoken
    any time 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
    seh feh
