The Family - 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
