Keep The Family Close

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 now we're meeting our ends

And its 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

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 yeah it figures
 I make all the player's anthems for the real n*ggas
 With my dad out in Tennessee is where I belong
 Out here in L.A. I don't know what's going on
 I don't know what's going on

And its 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

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 wave
 Same way I'm realizing on a day to day

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
 Much closer

Anytime people want to start problems
 For real are you done
 You know who mans are
 I'm not afraid no gyal heart man
 And I'm not afraid of no catty
 And I'm not afraid of no waste neither
 So anybody who want it can get it
 Its that fact
