Jurassic 5 - Thin line (remix)
Tekst :
[Chali 2na]
Yo, this is a lesson in friendship, the depths of a kinship
What 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 if a lasted friendship s involved
Would love to cross the line but that s why we built these walls
[Hook: Jurassic 5]
We been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine
Love ya like ya was mine but respect the thin line
I love ya like ya was mine, think about ya all the time
Very close friend of mine but respect the thin line
[Akil]
Opposite s attract when the female and male come in contact
Sticky situation, in fact tryin not to let the feelings catch
But there s a thin line between both of y all so you respect that
And entertain the 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 in friendship
[Marc 7]
An ongoing kinship, we was people to begin with
Disrespect was not intended but your feelings sparked the sentence
Sometimes you re too intense in your quest to invent- the perfect man Please
understand my rhyme is your repent
[Hook: Jurassic 5 and Mya together]
We been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine
Love ya like ya was mine but respect the thin line
I love ya like ya was mine, think about ya all the time
Very close friend of mine but respect the thin line
We been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine
Love ya like ya was mine but respect the thin line
I love ya like you was mine, think about ya all the time
Very close friend of mine but respect the thin line
[Soup]
Man too bad that we became friends first
And I m not an expert on how relationships should work
But {*echoes*} 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 (yo, what you doin after this?)
Infactuation 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
[Hook: Jurassic 5 and Mya together]
We been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine
Love ya like ya was mine but respect the thin line
I love ya like ya was mine, think about ya all the time
Very close friend of mine but respect the thin line
We been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine
Love ya like ya was mine but respect the thin line
I love ya like you was mine, think about ya all the time
Very close friend of mine but respect the thin line
[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 attraction s undeniable
See I know ya as my brother but could see you as my lover
So what am I gonna do now?
Cuz physical relations want confrontation
Ooh what are we gonna do now?
[Chali 2na]
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
But 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
Jeporidizing kinship, respect is intended, resolve is my intent
While we got it in I m tryin to salvage a friendship
[Hook: Jurassic 5 and Mya together]
We been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine
Love ya like ya was mine but respect the thin line
I love ya like ya was mine, think about ya all the time
Very close friend of mine but respect the thin line
We been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine
Love ya like ya was mine but respect the thin line
I love ya like you was mine, think about ya all the time
Very close friend of mine but respect the thin line

Jurassic 5 - Remember his name
Tekst :
(Zaakir)
Yo whats up ak
(Akil)
Who is this
(Zaakir)
Its me zaak--ir
(Akil)
Hello? what? (Hello?) I can t hear (I GOT IT! HANG UP!)
Yo speak louder I can t hear
(Zaakir)
(Yo Ak) Yo It s me Zaakir!
I was sittin at the television feelin disturbed
Hey yo, I just got the word, off Tigram and 83rd
Some cat that got clapped, (gangster rapper?)
Perhaps, But I was lookin at the face of one particular cat
Now I done seen him before, (Can you remember where at?)
Well it was either at the liquor store or laundry mat
Or at a party and shit, ?or drive through of a quickie split?
But the fellas her ran wit, they no longer ex-- (yo, dude peep this)
(Akil)
Yo I know dude, I been knowin him all my life
Ever since I was young I used to see him shootin dice
On occasion i would see him once or twice
With all types, many different walks of life
He tried to keep in touch, but i knew what was up
Every time he came around and showed his face I ducked
In the mid-eighties, the nigga went crazy
He had alot of ladies selling they babies, the nigga was shady
But he had alot of friends that he would visit on the weekends
Thrill seekin, influenced by his teachings
My daddy knew him, yo, he met him at a hotel
My homeboy Johnny, kicked it with him in a jail cell
Alot of people met him with a female
Doing real well, connected with the drug sales
The rich and the poor, for better or worse
The last and the first, walked the earth, but can t avoid his turf
And it hurts my brain, he s drivin me insane
It s a shame I can t remember his name
I think 2na know dude, Soup, i aint tryin ta be dude
But my wife just cooked, im bout to grab up some food
(Zaakir)
Aiight peace, 2na said he probably runnin the streets
I m about to give these young brothas a beep
(ring ring)
(2na)
Yo! asalaam ulakum
(Zaakir)
Yo, ulakum asalaam
(2na)
Heyyo, what s up on 83rd man?
(Zaakir)
Man, the fuedin is on
Hey, the reason why i called, that was the cat from my building
You seen him?
(2na)
Yeah we met that brother out in pasadena
Remember seven, (?boomoringo?)
No my mistake, we were right between fair oaks and lake
Tryin to take us a lunch break
(Marc7even)
And cop us a sess sack!
(2na)
But had to drive right past the place where they rest at
(7even)
We drove in a hactchback
(2na)
Corolla, these cats pack pistolas, the cadillac they drove
(7even)
It was brown and black
(2na)
Patrollin the hood, lookin for trouble
Saw us purchasin trees
Lurkin with speed, pulled the strap, and was hurtin to squeeze
(7even)
You ?jerk? and you bleed
(2na)
Threw it in reverse and we fleed
(7even)
Or should we say fled?
(2na)
They wanted to make us more than play dead, flashin his heat
(7even)
Two cars are movin fast on the street
(2na)
That s when I peeped, that dude was in his back passanger seat
(yo that shit was deep) Still I can t remember his name..
*this suckas gonna get us killed*
*now come on man I feel like cuttin loose*
*violence*
*you behave yourself*
(Zaakir)
Oh man, where have I seen this brother before, man
*well it was either at the liquor store or laundry mat*
Seem like everybody I know know dude, but cant nobody remember his damn name
man
*I been knowin him all my life*
the same with everybody from ShawnyMac, YawYaw, my brother Mohamad
Its like you cant *cant avoid his turf*
Oh, hey, you know what, now I know who homie is man, his name is
*De-De- Death*
