Thin Line Lyrics


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 emotionA fraction, seduction, attraction, eruption of passion
Corrupts if a lasted friendship's involved
But love to cross the line but that's why we built these wallsWe been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine
Love you like you was mine, but respect a thin line
I love you like you was mine, I think about you all the time
Very close friend of mine, but respect a thin lineOpposites attract when the female and male come in contact
Sticky situation in fact, tryin' not to let the feelin's catch
But there's a thin line between both of y'all so you respect thatAnd entertain the idea, but get brought back to reality
And could you really live with that? Decision, based on intuition
You love and keep your distance, hug and kiss in friendshipAn ongoin' kinship, we was people to begin with
Disrespect was not intended but your feelin's sparked the sentence
Sometimes you're too intense in your quest to invent
The perfect man, please understand, my rhyme is your repentI been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine
Love you like you was mine, but respect a thin line
I love you like you was mine, I think about you all the time
Very close friend of mine, but respect a thin lineWe been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine

Love you like you was mine, but respect a thin line
I love you like you was mine, I think about you all the time
Very close friend of mine, but respect a thin lineMan, too bad that we became friends first
And I'm not an expert on how relationships should work
But from the minute it as known
It changed the whole tone on how we spoke on the phoneYo, 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, damnBut to me girl, you're still off limits
No matter all the times that I hit it, yo, whatchu doin' after this?
Infatuation was authentic, but yo I just pretended
So I wouldn't lose the friendshipMaybe, 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"I been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine
Love you like you was mine, but respect a thin line
I love you like you was mine, I think about you all the time
Very close friend of mine, but respect a thin lineWe been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine
Love you like you was mine, but respect a thin line
I love you like you was mine, I think about you all the time
Very close friend of mine, but respect a thin lineI can't do this anymore, see my heart just spills out
When you walk in the door, friendship turns into lust
And this only tip that I can't comprehend even if I knew itCan't do justice to these things that I'm feelin'
You got someone else, don't wanna be caught stealin'
Hell, if she knew, she would never leave us alone in the roomYo, 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 devotionOpposites attract and best friends make a perfect match
If you only knew that once you cross, ain't no turnin' back
The minute you let him in it and he hit that, that's thatWe was people to begin with, but you was too relentless
Jeopardizin' kinship, respect is intended, resolve is my intent
While we got it in, I'm tryin' to salvage a friendshipI been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine
Love you like you was mine, but respect a thin line
I love you like you was mine, I think about you all the time
Very close friend of mine, but respect a thin lineWe been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine
Love you like you was mine, but respect a thin line
I love you like you was mine, I think about you all the time
Very close friend of mine, but respect a thin line

Jurassic 5 was originally a six-piece hip-hop crew that was formed in 1993 at the Los Angeles, California venue Good Life. Rappers Chali 2na, Akil, Zaakir aka Soup, Mark 7even, and turntable maestros DJ Nu-Mark and DJ Cut Chemist came together from two separate crews, the Rebels of Rhythm and Unity Committee. Cut Chemist left the band in 2006 to pursue a solo career.

The group debuted for TVT Records in 1995 with the single for Unified Rebelution. Their acclaimed position in the 1990s alternative hip-hop movement, alongside artists including Company Flow, Black Star and Kool Keith, was confirmed when the Jurassic 5 EP was released in December 1997.

The EP was later repackaged with additional tracks and released in December 1998 as the band's full-length debut album, entitled Jurassic 5 LP.

The tracks harked back to the old school attitude of new york's Native Tongues Posse, the seminal late 1980s coalition of artists who reaffirmed rap's social agenda, which included De La Soul, the Jungle Brothers and A Tribe Called Quest. This was evident on the song Concrete Schoolyard ("Let's take it back to the concrete streets/Original beats from real live MCs"), and the album even provided the troupe with a surprise uk Top 40 single when it reached number 35 in November 1998. The other stand-out track, Jayou, was built around a hypnotic flute loop from Pleasure Web's Music Man Part 1 (Music Man Part 1).

In 1999, Jurassic 5 signed to Interscope Records, who re-released the Jurassic 5 EP. This was followed by their second album (their first on a major label), Quality Control.

In 2002, they released their third album, Power In Numbers, which was followed by touring with the newly-revived Lollapalooza festival in the summer of 2003.

Their latest album, Feedback, was released on July 25, 2006.

On March 21, 2007, in an interview with the Australian news outlet News.com.au, Zaakir confirmed that the band would be breaking up after their current and final live-tour.
