This Thing Of Ours Lyrics by Joey Purp & VIC MENSA

Yeah
Who else?
Yeah

I wanna send a thank you to the ones that hated
Ones that doubtin’ and underrated
Know they tried to play us
We lap niggas that had to lean on weed while on the way up
Concentrated on where I need to be and got my weight up

I knew that they was sleepin’ on me every night I stayed up
They throw stones in sand castles, then they cover hand up
Watch it dismantle, work on your handles just to miss the layup
Conversations with my Creator about my karma-wearin’ options
It’s heavy on my shoulders, I know I want it more

Made my first hundred from up out the jars
Standin’ on my own two feet right in front the store
Push to start, got out my feelings, then hopped into the car
The Wraith ceilings, come from a city where we don’t see the stars
Pray to God things may change, but till they get resolved
Them Glocks switchin’ full automatic, we watch the world revolve

On my dawgs, I’ma be me until the day I fall
Gotta stay a hundred and never betray this thing evolve

I gotta send a thank you to Allah, made it
At 17, I fell 30 feet
That 15,000 volts of electricity had my arms like
Frankenstein
Time slowed, I felt my body weightless
Didn’t end up six feet deep, I had a higher savior

Still alive, across my stomach, I’m a sole survivor
I told zones from out the locker, my alma mater
Learn to be like water under more pressure than ocean divers
Now I’m at Harvard giving lectures and I ain’t go to college

Karl Thomas, we make it rain all summer, niggas
We played Pop Warner with doing football numbers
Fassade, y’all playin’ side, we accept all drama
I’m with that fuck all the chit-chat
You know I need my lick back
I’m big dog

Slidin’ with big cat, lime green G-Wagon
I’m on the five, but all my niggas seein’ six, ask
Yeah, rollin’ stoners, tattooed the fallen soldiers
Kill a cam, ridin’ these cows like Cosa Nostra, lil’ nigga
