Lyrics of 'The Family' by Canon

You know we gotta do this for the family
And I don't lie when I tell you I do this for my family
No, no, no, that's my fam, bruh
No, no, no that's the fam bruh
No, no, no that's my fam, bruh
I might just bring a hundred with me walking wit the fam, bruh
Now, we ain't bout to have no issue, I'm coming with plenty
That 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, all 'em with me cause

That be my fam
That's my fam
That's my fam
That's my fam
That be my fam
That's my fam, yeah
Let them come in with me
I won't come another step in the building
Until y'all let my people come in with me
I'm for real, that's my fam
That's my fam, that's my fam, yeah
That's my fam, yeah

Breakin' it down for supporters
I remember reportin', Spotify went up every quarter because
Been releasin' and feedin' them so many rhythms
I'm makin' 'em want to move cause I do what I does
Typically, they contemplate about haters
But know that Canon ain't comin' to waste time, don't waste mine
When they talkin' 'bout the squares I can't find em, no
Not up in my circle and we stay grindin'
Kickin' 'em off with the rhythm
I'm knockin' and shakin' their equilibrium better hold up
Hold on, you love the way that we breakin' and movin' and takin' the 808 and rockin' the party we on
(Dat boy nice!)
I make it look easy, will somebody bring me some water for the rappers cuz they're lookin' thirsty
But I'm makin' this harder for them
Pick 'em apart, it's the art of knowing
No it ain't no guardin' me you gotta be passionate come with it
For la familia, really bruh
Get the Canon for the people so I don't Trump for the media
It's an abomination, Obama's done ran the nation and they still don't trust or believe in him
They thinkin' ain't no guarantee with him
I'm like that but they can't stop me
I'm for the people yellin', "Father we need you, we need the leaders"
Then I tell them look around watch me
This is for all of my day ones who been before there was Canon yeah
Back then, where Chi town, Greater Way and Lawndale was there from beginning, yeah, (Give it to 'em)
Back when Phil Jackson the House in Chicago showed me how to live this
Yeah, back when they called me spook before I had to consider my image yeah
I got this for all who believed in me back when I was just a nobody shoppin' for instrumentals but they wouldn't give em so my homie got me Reason that's when I
Knew he got me now, now who gon stop me
Learning bout how to produce, then I got me a crew, Omega
McBride on the track to me spook, whew, You got the juice, You know what to do
From mix tapes after mixtape, the great investment was a new beginning
Never thought they would see me winning
Just because my connections was independent so I never knew
That I could make a difference
Just an amateur rapper with good intentions
Got no Twitter mentions - just a youngin' unashamed to make 'em question
What was really in them, what was really
Writing "Popping Off" and ripping "Good To Go", "Man In the Mirror" to "Bring Me Low"
From killing Canon down to writing "Ten Toes"
Gave em "Runaway" to writing "Loose Canon"
Writing "Yeen Bout that Life" on "Loose Canon"
"Let 'Em Have It," "Motivation," "Loose Canon"
"Loud Music," "Trippen," "Dreams," "Loose Canon," "Put Me On" to "Point of View" and still standin'
So many more and they still embracin' it from "Take It All Away" I'm "Grateful" they been waiting I just want to take a moment just to thank em
Y'all been down with me
Without a hesitation to my label family y'all been hella patient I promise I will not forsake it and I promise that I'll keep my faith in this
You can call them your fans but I call them my family, and cause all of your prayers I'm still right here standing
But I wouldn't be here without all my friends yeah
Cause I could've been dead so when I do this know I do for my family
