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 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 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 youre too intense

In your quest to invent

The perfect man

Please understand my rhyme is your repent



CHORUS (AkilNelly) 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, it was 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)-ac
