This Thing of Ours (feat. Wale,Omarion & Nas)

[Rick Ross:]

Sometimes I get so fucking paranoid

Reminiscing on how them bricks keep coming back and forth

I ask the lord for everything I lack and more

Last thing on my mind was slamming caddy doors

I just made up my mind, I'm grindin' like a boss

Dedicated our lives, sacrifices we lost

Fatal mistakes, talking laws of attraction

The paper I'm making, I upgraded my fashion

Everything tailor-made, floss is my passion

Loyalty came first, number one rule in the faction

Follow my actions, came in it '06

Planted my fag, bitch I'm taking no shit

I toted them toolies, I bullied the bullies

I made a few hits, my bank account Jewish

Niggas is minor, the money manure

I'm thinking like Heinemann, Godfather the 4th

It was never filmed, therefore never seen

It was never him, that's what these haters cream

I wrote the script, I was sipping lean

Now meet the Smith, I brought along my triple beam

[Hook: Omarion]

This thing of ours

It's a mafioso

You ain't never know though

Never gon' know so

No never, no never, no never

No, no, no, no

[Verse 2: Wale]

This reefer the sweetest

Got me thinking much deeper

They don’t rap for a reason

This is rather convenient

Spend money with my team

Make my money from hustle

Women love you for fee

Niggas hate you for nothing

Never hate you in public

Better let they eyes tell it

Ain't even 5’11″, what the fuck you got scared of

I’m a loose cannon, screws damaged

And I do think hip hop music needs some newer standards

Hardest working conglomerate

And thats word to my mama

Getting up in they mental

Get ‘em outta their garments

Adamantly coming at whoever call up for drama

Just know that DC, Philly, Ohio, Miami got us

Private jet over water, not ?, got no barber

I see feds, I go that way, that DMV shit saw us

When you young and you black

They see you as a target

So before them foamposites get ya lawyer in order

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Nas]

The don of all don’s since you wanna call me something

All of a sudden, niggas ball and stuntin’

Ya’ll just started pulling on

Pull ya car, ya spineless

Where ya heart, I know where mine is

A don is one who accept things he cannot change

Only thing I accept I cannot change is getting old and dying

Gold medallion, over my son chest

He’ll hold it down when I sunset

What does death mean to me?

I never owned the concept, I was here

I’m just a spirit, lets get one thing clear

Everything segue’s into each other

One thing is just an extension of the other

My kid to me, I am my children through history

Of Stand up men and stand up women

I am existing I was conceived to break bread with kings

And make connections

We haven’t met yet

My reputation you’ve stuck with

Until we have our formal introduction

That’s enough

But every male is not a man

So some of those that will hold out they hand won't understand

This thing of ours

[Hook]
