Jurassic 5 - Thin Line Feat. Mya Lyrics

Yo, this is a lesson in friendship
The depths of a kinship
Will women and men begin with, and then slip
My pen drips as I scribble my thoughts
On thin strips of emotion
A fraction, seduction, attraction
Eruption of passion corrupts it
Life lasting friendships involved
Would love to cross the line
But thatÂÂÂÂÂ's why we built these walls

CHORUS (Akil)
WeÂÂÂÂÂ've been friends for a long time
A very close friend of mine
Love you like you was mine
But respect the thin line
Love you like you was mine
Think about you all the time
Very close friend of mine
But respect the thin line

AKIL
Opposites attract
When the female and male come in contact
Sticky situation in fact
Trying not to let the feelings catch
But thereÂÂÂÂÂ's a thin line between both of yaÂÂÂÂÂ'll
So you respect that
And entertain an idea but get brought back
To reality
And could you really live with that
Decision, based on intuition
You love and keep it distant
Hug and kiss the friendship

MARC 7
An ongoing friendship
We was people to begin with
Disrespect was not intended
But your feelings sparked a sentence
Sometimes youÂÂÂÂÂ're too intense
In your quest to invent
The perfect man
Please understand my rhyme is your repent

CHORUS (Akil/Mya) x2

SOUP
Too bad that we became friends first
And IÂÂÂÂÂ'm not an expert on how relationships work
But, from the minute it was known
It changed the whole tone
The way we spoke on the phone
Yo, it was cool but I felt it wasnÂÂÂÂÂ't enough
And I was stuck when your moms would pick it up
Over you all my buddies would swoon
But I felt we were in tune
You let me up in your room (damn)
But to me girl youÂÂÂÂÂ're still off limits
No matter all the times that I hinted (Yo what you doin after this)
Infatuation was authentic
But yo I just pretended
So I wouldnÂÂÂÂÂ't lose the friendship
Maybe I should spill all my guts
Or write a letter, then tear it up
Or do a song just to say whatÂÂÂÂÂ's up
I want just a touch

CHORUS x2

MYA
What happens if we cross the line
Can't take it back, can't ever go back
Damn you're such a good friend to me now
But the attractions, undeniable
You see, I know you like a brother
But can see you as my lover
So what am I gonna do now?
Cause there's a confirmation for confrontations
Oh what am I gonna do now?

CHALI
Yo, this was a lesson in friendship
I stress in this sentence
Should women and men be friends first
And then slip
My pen drips as I scribble my thoughts on thin strips of devotion

AKIL
Opposites attract
And best friends make a perfect match
If you only knew that
Once you cross ainÂÂÂÂÂ't no turning back
The minute you let him in it and he hit that
ThatÂÂÂÂÂ's that

MARC 7
We was people to begin with
But you was too relentless
Jeopardizing kinship
Respect is intended
Resolve is my intent
While weÂÂÂÂÂ've got an in
IÂÂÂÂÂ'm trying to salvage a friendship

CHORUS x2
