CHALI 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 thats why we built these walls
CHORUS (Akil)
Weve 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 theres a thin line between both of yall
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 Im 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, itwas cool but
I felt it wasnt 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 youre still off limits
No matter all the times that
I hinted Infatuation was authentic
But yo I just pretended
So I wouldnt 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 NEL
LY I cant 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 cant comprehend even if
I knew it
Cant do justice with these things that
Im feeling
Youve got someone else dont 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 emotion
AKIL Opposites attract
And best friends make a perfect match
If you only knew that
Once you cross aint no turning back
The minute you let him in it and he hit that
Thats that
MARC 7 We was people to begin with
But you was too relentless
Jeopardizing kinship
Respect is intended
Resolve is my intent
While weve got an in
Im trying to salvage a friendship
CHORUS
