Keep the Family Close

It's a little chilly out there

How you can stand there is beyond me

Ah momma let's just be friends

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
Ah momma let's just be friends
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 bently

I always saw you for what you could've been

And even when its business with you its personal again

I knew you before you made ends meet now were meeting our ends

And it's all because you chose a side

You're supposed your pride aside and ride for me

Guess it wasn't time

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 what I'm going through

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

You judge 'fore you met me ya figures

I make all the player's anthems for the real niggas

With my dad out in tennessee it 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 your pride aside and ride for me

Guess it wasn't time

And of course you went and chose a side that wasn't mine

You sit and you pray hoping that the stars align

My look 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 I'll always love ya that's how I was raised

Same way I'm right here still feeling the wave

Same way I'm realized on a day to day
Ah momma let's just be friends

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
Ah momma let's just be friends

Cause I can't depend on you anymore

Much closer
