Keep The Family Close
Drake

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 have tried to keep my family closer, much closer

All of my let's just be friends

Are friends I don't have anymore

Guess it's what they say you need family for

'Cause I can't depend on you anymore

Always saw you for what you could have been

Ever since you met me like when Chrysler made that one car

That looked just like a Bentley I

Always saw you for what you could have been

And even when its business with you it's personal again

I knew you before you made ends meet

And now were meeting out 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

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

Your 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 going on with you

You judged me before you met me yeah it figures

I make all the players anthems for the real niggas

With my dad out in Tennessee is where I belong

Out here in LA I don't know whats going on

I don't know whats going on

And its all becase 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

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 tomorrow like I'm working 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 you I'll always love you that's how I was raised

Same way I'm right here still feeling a 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 have tried to keep my family closer, much closer

All of my let's just be friends

Are friends I don't have anymore

Guess it's what they say you need family for

'Cause I can't depend on you anymore

Much closer
