Nas - This Thing of Ours lyrics

[Verse 1: Rick Ross] Sometimes I get so f**ing paranoid Reminiscing on how them bricks keep going 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 grinding 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, flossing's my pa**ion Loyalty came first, number one rule in the faction Follow my actions, came in in '06 Planted my flag, b**h, I'm taking no sh** I toted them toolies, I bullied the bullies I made a few hits, my bank account Jewish n***as 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 scream I wrote the script, I was sipping lean Now meet the myth, I brought along my triple beam [Hook: Omarion] This thing of ours It's so 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, n***as hate you for nothing Never hate you in public, better let they eyes tell it Ain't even 5'11″, what the f** you guys scared of I'm a loose cannon, screws damaged And I do think hip hop music needs some newer standards Hardest working conglomerate, and that's 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, natty dread, got no barber I see Feds, I go that way, that DMV sh** taught 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 dons, since y'all wanna call me something All of a sudden, n***as ball and stunting Y'all just started pulling on Havanas Pull ya card, 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 d**h mean to me? I never owned the concept, I was here I'm just a spirit, let's get one thing clear Everything segues into each other One thing is just an extension of the other My kid to me, I am my children through history Upstanding 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]
