Yo, this is a lesson in friendship The depths of a kinship Where 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 that’s why we built these walls
CHORUS (Akil) We’ve been friends for a long time A very close friend of mine Love you like you was mine But atleast respect the thin line Love you like you was mine Think about you all the time Very close friend of mine But atleast 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 there’s a thin line between both of ya’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 you’re too intense In your quest to invent The perfect man Please understand my rhyme is your repent
CHORUS (Akil/Nelly) X2 SOUP Too bad that we became friends first And I’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 wasn’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 you’re still off limits No matter all the times that I hinted Infatuation was authentic But yo I just pretended So I wouldn’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 what’s up I want just a touch
CHORUS
NELLY I can’t do this anymore See my heart just falls out when you walk in the door Friendship turned into love On some weak tip See I can’t comprehend even if I knew it Can’t do justice with these things that I’m feeling You’ve got someone else don’t want to be caught stealing Hell, if she knew she would never leave us alone in the room
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 ain’t no turning back The minute you let him in it and he hit that That’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 we’ve got an in I’m trying to salvage a friendship
