lyrics

See when it comes to Jason, mistaking my kindness for weakness?
I ain’t playin’, I’m just sayin’, I ain’t trying to see it
I got no time for deceiving, I’m god’s design and his thesis
So you taking me light is not the sign of a genius
That’s actually kinda dumb & I won’t spit like a thug
But you ain’t kicking it in love, I’m a nip it in the bud
I take friendship seriously
‘cause enemies used to be friends previously
I can’t rock or get to attached to ‘em
‘cause those “friends” got the sharpest knives waiting for you to turn your back to ‘em
If brother Joseph could be sold for some paper
By his own brothers, you could take the role of a traitor
They say “cats are talking about your homie these days"
I’m like “I know, I had his back but he was throwing me shade"
I could hold my tongue, turn my cheek or keep quiet
But even David faced his Goliath with violence
Y’know what’s my problem, I’m a people pleaser
And people pleasers often end up feeble creatures
End up being targets of a lethal ether
While in denial of their people’s evil features
In other words, they’re quicker to catch a backstab
Burned soo much, you got the sequel to ‘Backdraft’
I won’t have that, not everything I laugh at
But don’t be nervous dude, I’m just observing you

(Chorus)
Even though I’m saved yo, please don’t cross me
Act all salty, that’s when you’ve lost me
Yo, i don’t know what you thought that time
Ayo, why would you even cross that line
(2x)
My grace is never a sign...that you can cross that line
Don’t cross that line (2x)
My grace is never a sign...that you can cross that line
Don’t cross that line (2x)

See wishing me the best to you is not what matters kid
You’re too stuck on what my relationship status is
You couldn’t name a single song that I spit
But you know every chick you could’ve sworn I was with
You never support, but my girl’s page you go to
Hit her up on skype, she’s like “Do I know you?!!!"
Make random request like you’re fans of the quest
Dude I don’t need fans, I need fam’ or it’s stress
Yes, that’s when you’ve crossed that line
And this is what got sisters distraught at times
In the office, wearing something tight, but business like
& co-worker’s running some game that isn’t right
In fact it’s actually troubling
& now you’re switching from ‘Mary Mary’ to ‘Jazmine Sullivan'
‘10 seconds’ away from ‘Busting windows’ out his car
‘cause he done went too far, you’re sayin’ ‘nah!!!'
So called friends are hating as soon as you earn a stack
Holla at your future spouse as soon as you turn you back
Lose it in the situation, now you’re facin’ “murder raps"
‘cause you’ve been suspected this cat, you had the burner strapped
But looking back I see I need to make ammends
‘cause to Christ I’ve been a terrible friend, he’d take offense
To the way that I’m living my life in disobedience
& in the way that people treat me, I guess I’m seeing it!

(Chorus)
