The stories in this song are not actually all about Kanye’s family. Per Complex, Tarrey Torae (who sings “they don’t mean a thang” toward the end) helped Kanye with the stories for this song.

Kanye was like, ‘I need this to be about real-life family,’“ recalled Tarrey. "I’m the oldest of 48 grandkids on my mom’s side and I’m in the middle of 36 grandkids on my father’s side. So when he said, ‘I need material.’ I was like, ‘I got plenty of material.’” Tarrey went on to tell Kanye about taking baths with her cousins, sleeping six in a bed, and her auntie who was known for her bad cooking. In fact, at the end when Kanye says “Let’s get Stevie out of jail,” he’s actually referring to Tarrey’s godbrother.
