Kanye West's "Family Business" offers heartwarming and relatable lyrics with a powerful message. Throughout our lifetimes, we all experience hardships and doubt. Through that, however, their is always a special group of people who will support you. Over thick and thin, highs and lows, your family always has your back. They are always a reliable group of people who knows that your blood is true and prosper.
Kanye, as many of you have, grew up around countless brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, and more. From the day he was born he knew he was never more of himself then when with family. They offer a safe environment to express yourself, and no matter how low you fall, their will always be a spot for you at the dinner table.
As kids we used to laugh
Who knew that life would move this fast?
Who knew I'd have to look at you through a glass?
And look, tell me you ain't did it, you ain't did it
And if you did, then that's family business
As expressed through the song, time flies by like nothing. You can quickly become enwrapped in the journey that is life, and barely stop to think. When you do think, though, you can dwell on the great times and the support that you have received from the most important people in your life. Just remember that what goes on at the dinner table doesn't need to be shared because that's just family business.
I like your interpretation of Kanye's song. The last paragraph you wrote has a nice thought to go out into the world with.
ReplyDeleteI also enjoyed that last paragraph. I feel like Kanye is sad about being separated from somebody, and is looking through a glass instead of being with that person.
ReplyDeleteI also enjoy htis kanye song, and i agree that it has a very happy, comfortating tone to the song, especially when he talks about his family, and that s evident when he talks about how no one eats one of his aunts food.
