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 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 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 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 emotion
|
|
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
|
|
