Okay

[Chance the Rapper:]
My favorite cousin's back in town (Cousin, cousin), we going out
We don't know where we're going, we going out (We going out)
And we took care of grandma, we held it down (We held it down)
And we took care of mama, we held it down
My favorite cousin's back in town, we going out
We don't know where we're going, we going out (We going out)
And we took care of grandma, we held it down (We held it down)
And we took care of mama, we held it down (We held it down)

Bitch, don't play with my family, I keep with my family
Your ugly ass family
Your great-great grand mammy shoulda used Plan B
We petty, we ghetto
You touch it, you dead, ho
And that's on my granddaddy's grave, ay
I got my granddaddy's name, ay
Set it off, Big Daddy Kane
Tell all my cousins is busting and shaking to come out the crib
Christmas is coming and I got a gift
I got some money, I might buy a zip
Back at the house where we used to play tips
We was carpooling before they made Lyft
Say no more cops before they can say dibs
Hot flamin's, bitch, you not playing with my chips

I'm ready to die for my blood (Yeah)
You could get turned to a blunt (Yeah)
Keep acting crazy, you won't (You won't)
Bitch, I do all of my stunts
I'm ready to die for my blood
Ready to die for the love
We do this type shit for fun
Nigga, what's up?

My favorite cousin's back in town (Cousin, cousin), we going out

Mama, I got that bill paid (Ay)
Mama, I got that real estate
Get a house built like Bill Gates
Buy it back from the bank, more bang for your buck
Big 079 where I still stay
Slaughtered this shit for a gyro
Crash Bandicoot and some Spyro
Put all that shit in my bio
Food stamps, we gotta link
Real blood, got the ink (Yeah)
Fuck what's coming out the sink (Blegh)
I made a million like Tink
I'm jumping in, I won't think
I'm jumping in, I won't sink
You niggas flipping like pink, they softer than mink

I'm ready to die for my blood (Die for my blood)
You could get turned to a blunt (Could get turned to a blunt)
Keep acting crazy, you won't
Bitch, I do all of my stunts
I'm ready to ride for my blood (Ride for my blood)
Ready to die for the love (Ready to die for the love)
We do this type shit for fun
