The Thing
[Intro: RiTchie]
(It’s the petty shit huh?)

[Verse: RiTchie]
It be the
It be the things that just grind all your bones
It be the things that just nobody knows
(Things you do, you do)
How many ways could a n***a say no
How many days can I take all these blows
Shit you prolly don’t know
(And on you move)
It be the things you don’t let in your home
It be the things that just rotten your soul
Shit they rotten your soul
(How many?)
How many things you let stop all your flow?
How many things you let block all the dough?
Shit you prolly don’t know
(They do)

[Verse 2: RiTchie]
It be the things that nobody knows
It be the things that stunt all your growth
It really stings, but don’t let it show
You hearing things, but it’s down on the low
Don’t real me in shit I don’t wanna know
Don’t mix my shit in with all that you broke
[Verse 3: RiTchie]
It be things like stubbin your toe
It really stings, but don’t let it show
Or whеn see that nobody knows
Not anything but knockin on doors or knocking knocking them boots
These things thеy cook on the low
And fill you up up until you explode
Now everything’s fucked
(That’s all the things you do)
(You do)

[Verse 4: Quelle Chris]
I was thinking you know
The thoughts all the things we do for kudos and props
Bro the back is aching it hurts a lot
Feats of fascination leaps from the top
Look ma no hands
Check on your fam check on your folks
Feels like the end
Roll the creds
Present the fin
Popping meds, just for the grins just for a smile if just for a while
Cause feeling good don’t ever go outta style
And being hood is exhausting
Being high brow is costly
White folks ancestors really made a mess of things
And all this pressure just to make the means
Post on socials just to make believe
Maybe magic, maybe Maybelline?
Somebody told me being lonely is my brand that made me laugh
Y’all n***as funny
[Pre-Chorus: Quelle Chris]
Things we do for love and money
Things we do for love and money
Things we do for love and money
Things we do for love and money
Things we do for love and money
Things we do for love and money
Things we do for love and money
Things we do for loving
(That’s all the things you do)
(You do)

[Interlude]
Wow dad you really got me the one thing machine?
That’s right son
Infinite ideas for instant gratification
Go ahead try one
Eat an entire bag of party sized cool ranch Doritos
(No)
Call your mom tell her you love her
(Ehh)
Compare and contrast where you are in life
With where you thought you would be at the age of 7 years old
Examples being: interpersonal relationships, mental health, financial stability, career aspirations
Some may find it helpful to look at the status of one’s peers
Or even those that one has never met in their entire life
Alright I got this
[Outro]
That’s all the things you do
You do
