[VERSE 1]
Em Bm C G
When I found you, you were young, wayward, lost in the cold
Em Bm C G
Pulled up to you in the Jag, Turned your rags into gold
Em Bm C G
The winding road leads to the chateau
Em Bm C G
“You remind me of a younger me”
D
I saw potential…
[CHORUS 1]
G Bm
I'll be your father figure, I drink that brown liquor
C Am D
I can make deals with the devil because my dick's bigger
G Bm
This love is pure profit, Just step into my office
C Am D G
I dry your tears with my sleeve, Leave it with me
Bm C
I protect the family, Leave it with me
C
I protect the family
[VERSE 2]
Em Bm C G
I pay the check before it kisses the mahogany grain
Em Bm C G
Said, “They want to see you rise, they don't want you to reign”
Em Bm C G
I showed you all the tricks of the trade
Em Bm C G
All I ask for is your loyalty…
D
My dear protege
[CHORUS 2]
G Bm
I'll be your father figure, I drink that brown liquor
C Am D
I can make deals with the devil because my dick's bigger
G Bm
This love is pure profit, Just step into my office
C Am D G
They'll know your name in the streets, Leave it with me
Bm
I protect the family
[BRIDGE]
Am D G C
I saw a change in you
Am D Bm Em
My dear boy… They don't make loyalty like they used to
Am D G
Your thoughtless ambition sparked the ignition on foolish decisions
C
which led its misguided visions
Am B7
Then to fulfil your dreams… You had to get rid of me (I protect the family)
[ALT CHORUS]
G Bm
I was your father figure, We drank that brown liquor
C Am D
You made a deal with this devil, Turns out my dick's bigger
G Bm
You want a fight, you found it, I got the place surrounded
C Am N.C.
You'll be sleeping with the fishes before you know you're drowning
[OUTRO]
A C#m
Whose portrait's on the mantle? Who covered up your scandals?
D Bm E
Mistake my kindness for weakness, And find your card cancelled
A C#m
I was your father figure, You pulled the wrong trigger
D Bm E A
This empire belongs to me, Leave it with me
C#m D
I protect the family, Leave it with me
Bm E A
I protect the family, Leave it with me
C#m D
“You know, you remind me of a younger me”
Bm E
