Cross That Line feat. Rick Ross
Akon Lyrics

If you ever cross that line
If you dare to cross the line, where my patience ends, there won't be any help for you.

I guarantee ya there'll be nothin' to save ya
I assure you that you won't be able to save yourself in any way once you cross that line.

I got a whole bunch of gorillas ready to pull the trigga
I have a group of dangerous men, ready and willing to put an end to you.

And we all for that paper
We are all about the money, and will do whatever it takes to protect our interests and profits.

Comin' from a life of crime
I come from a difficult past, where survival meant doing illegal things.

Tryna be on my best behavior
I'm trying very hard to stay out of trouble and be a better person.

You see my rep's gettin' bigger but still that same nigga bustin' shots at them haters
Even as my reputation grows, I'm still the same person who will shoot at anyone who tries to harm me or my interests.

But only if you cross that line (Hold up, Hold up)
But only if you dare to cross that one line, which is the limit of my tolerance.

I was birthed in the crackhouse
I was born to a mother who lived in a house where drugs were being used and sold.

But what made it worse every first is a??
What made it even worse was that every beginning of the month, when money was coming in, things got crazy.

Little brother knowin' life illegal
My younger brother grew up knowing nothing but a life of illegal activities.

No toys just playin' wit pipes and needles
We had no toys to play with, just pipes and needles that we would use to get high.

I'm gon' find knights and regals
Now, I'm trying to find luxury cars like knights and regals to show off my money.

Five thousand dollars on the paint just so life will see ya
I would spend five thousand dollars on the car's paint job just to flaunt my money and make an impression on others.

Green cards for the free lunch
I would participate in fraudulent activities like using fake green cards to get free lunches.

Now his green cards scream larger than seats crush
Now, that person's illegally obtained green cards are worth more than what his legal job can ever afford.

Big guns for the other side
I have large and powerful guns to use against those who want to harm me.

Nigga try me I'ma teach his momma homicide
If someone challenges me, I'll retaliate in a brutal manner that could lead to the death of their mother.

I wanna see his momma eyes
I want to witness the pain and sorrow in their mother's eyes after I hurt them.

I done cried 20 years now I'm runnin' dry
I have cried for 20 years and my tears have dried up now, making me numb to emotions and violence.

When I'm low on funds, I'ma load up guns
When I'm short on money, I prepare to use my guns to get what I need.

Slap ya in the head I'ma open one
If someone tries to test me or attack me, I will hit them in the head and wound them severely.

African in bed, she just hope I'm done
A woman from Africa is in my bed and just wants me to finish so she can move on with her life.

See the voodoo priest then the coke gon' come
I will consult a voodoo priest to cast a spell for me to have more cocaine.

Open up a drum, I'm eatin' Oprah crumbs
I have very little to eat and I'm only surviving on the leftovers from Oprah's banquets.

Got poor credit, got whore debit
I have bad credit and debt from spending money on prostitutes.

Walk in the 40-40 I'ma score, bet it
I am sure that if I walk into a 40-40 Club, I will gain profits.

Four tennis chains hoe, I'm progetic
I have four expensive tennis chains, and I'm proud of my wealth.

But the four pellets will getcha prosthetics
However, the four shots from my gun will cause you to need prosthetic limbs.

If you don't get it, just don't let it
If you don't understand what I'm saying, don't try to figure it out.

A life sentence is a life sentence
Getting a life sentence in prison means being locked up for the rest of your life.

All my homies got 'em, they just like business
All of my friends have gotten life sentences, and it's just part of the risk of doing illegal business with them.

Don't push me nigga, I ain't pussy nigga
Don't provoke me or mess with me because I'm not someone to be taken lightly or seen as weak.

You "would be" killas, that is "could be" nigga
You are nothing but wannabe killers, with potential to be violent.

The last minute of your last breath
I'll be there to witness the very end of your life.

I'm the last entrance right before your last step
I'll be the last person you see before you die.

Shot a, Block papa, my block gotta
I've been involved in gang violence and have shot at people to protect my turf.

Cross the line - pay the fine (Ross) cop dollas
If someone crosses my boundary, there will be a price to pay, even to the point of paying cops to get what I want.

The motto - you're age, creed, or color nigga
My belief is that regardless of your age, background, or race, I will still shoot you if you cross me.

Can't cut it stay choppin' through the butter nigga
If you can't handle the heat, get out of my way because I will cut through you like butter.

Critics wonder will I last long
People have doubts about whether I will continue to be successful in the long run.

Even though I showed my ass on my last song
Even though I was criticized for my previous song, I still have confidence that I will succeed.

I gets my mash on(Ross), no mask on(Ross), Cross Ross baby it'll be a sad song
I'm going to unleash my aggression and violence without hiding my face, and anyone who challenges me will suffer.

Don't cross that line
Do not dare to step over the limit that I have set.

Hopin' that you don't cross that line
I am hoping that you will have the good sense not to challenge me or step over that limit.

Baby don't cross that line
Please, for your own good, do not test me or risk crossing over the line.
