Cross the line
Rick Ross feat. Akon Lyrics

If you ever cross that line
If you violate my trust and loyalty

I guarantee ya there'll be nothin' to save ya
I will take aggressive action and you will not receive mercy or assistance

I got a whole bunch of gorillas ready to pull the trigga
I have a group of loyal and violent associates prepared to act on my command

And we all for that paper
We are motivated by the pursuit of money and financial gain

Comin' from a life of crime
Having grown up in illegal and dangerous circumstances

Tryna be on my best behavior
Attempting to maintain good conduct and stay within lawful boundaries

You see my rep's gettin' bigger but still that same nigga bustin' shots at them haters
While my reputation and influence are growing, I am still the same person willing to use violence against those who oppose me

But only if you cross that line
However, I will only resort to violent retaliation if provoked beyond a certain point

I was birthed in the crackhouse
I was born and raised in an environment of drug addiction and poverty

But what made it worse every first is a??
But what exacerbated the situation is that each time my mother gave birth, the circumstances of our family deteriorated further

Little brother knowin' life illegal
My younger brother grew up knowing and engaging in illegal activities

No toys just playin' wit pipes and needles
We had no typical childhood experiences or toys, only makeshift weapons and drug paraphernalia

I'm gon' find knights and regals
I strive for wealth and luxury items, such as expensive cars

Now his green cards scream larger than seats crush
His wealth is so abundant that his money clips are thicker than the seats in luxury cars

Big guns for the other side
I have powerful weapons to defend myself against rival enemies

Nigga try me I'ma teach his momma homicide
If someone tests my resolve, I will use violence to the point of causing them extreme emotional pain

I wanna see his momma eyes
I want those who cross me to feel the emotional pain of loss that mothers do

I done cried 20 years now I'm runnin' dry
I have experienced so much pain and hardship that I am no longer able to feel sympathy or sadness

When I'm low on funds, I'ma load up guns
When I am running low on money, I will resort to violence to obtain more

Slap ya in the head I'ma open one
I will hit you on the head with a gun as a warning

African in bed, she just hope I'm done
I have sexual relationships with African women, and they often hope that I will not use them for too long

See the voodoo priest then the coke gon' come
I have associates who practice voodoo and can help me obtain more cocaine

Open up a drum, I'm eatin' Oprah crumbs
I have so much money that I can still live lavishly even when I am running low on funds

Got poor credit, got whore debit
Despite my wealth, I have a poor financial situation and engage with prostitutes

Walk in the 40-40 I'ma score, bet it
I am so confident in my gambling skills that I will make a bet on my success before I even get to the casino

Four tennis chains hoe, I'm progetic
I have four expensive diamond chains and others should take notice of my success

But the four pellets will getcha prosthetics
However, I am willing to use a shotgun to injure someone so severely that they will need prosthetic limbs

If you don't get it, just don't let it
If you do not understand my lifestyle and actions, it is best to not even try

A life sentence is a life sentence
Being in prison is a punishment that you will endure for the rest of your life

All my homies got 'em, they just like business
Many of my friends have been or are currently in prison, but that is just a part of the lifestyle we have chosen

Don't push me nigga, I ain't pussy nigga
Do not test me or underestimate me, as I am not afraid to use violence

You "would be" killas, that is "could be" nigga
Some individuals may believe they are capable of killing, but they do not have the necessary qualities to do so

The last minute of your last breath
I will be present and in control during the final moments of someone's life

I'm the last entrance right before your last step
I am the final obstacle that someone will face before their death

Shot a, Block papa, my block gotta
I have experience with guns and violence, and my community is also plagued by these issues

Cross the line - pay the fine (Ross) cop dollas
Violate the boundaries that I have created, and you will face a monetary penalty or legal consequences

The motto - you're age, creed, or color nigga
I do not discriminate or care about someone's age, beliefs, or race if they cross me

Can't cut it stay choppin' through the butter nigga
If you cannot handle the violent or illegal aspects of my life, then stay away from me

Critics wonder will I last long
Some people doubt whether I will be able to continue my lifestyle or if I will be punished for my actions

Even though I showed my ass on my last song
Despite the controversy of my previous music and lyrics, I am still here and continue to be successful

I gets my mash on(Ross), no mask on(Ross), Cross Ross baby it'll be a sad song
I am fully prepared and willing to use violence, and if someone provokes me, they will regret it

Don't cross that line
Do not violate my boundaries or trust

Hopin' that you don't cross that line
I hope that you are aware of the consequences and do not test me

Baby don't cross that line
I care about you and do not want to resort to violence towards you, so please stay within bounds
