[A$AP Rocky] Uh, lines - tell them read between it Trippin' while I'm slippin', busy fightin' off these demons Listen while I'm spittin', boy, you probably won't believe it But, life is so terrific, tell them pinch me if I'm dreamin' Revenues what I get, your bitch is what I did hit And I'm bout my business Them pesos what I did get, made a hit, had a fix, they sayin' "you's the shiznit" Tell 'em get off my diznick, you bucket headed bitches Crossin' all the lines, time is only racin' time He put them to the bars so I'm only raisin' mine Dependent on the grind is the only way to shine So I'm feelin' like the Oz is the only state of mine And it's finna give me peace, life up in these streets Equipped with a piece case you niglets wanted beef (Yeah!) Cuase man gave us laws, and God gave us time It's the art of storytellin' and I'm only tellin' mine [Chorus: Sarah Barthel] The lines we've crossed (The lines we've crossed) Have always been why I've lost It changes all the time Cause I've wondered how (I've wondered how) I'm happier when I lose what I've needed all my life [Big Boi] (Talk that shit, Boi!) Straight out of the belly of East Point, yeah, that's my origins Was born in West Savannah, Georgia, then I was born again Like the baby in the manger I gave my life to Jesús because he could protect me from the dangers In the circle of angels, just to help me sign my halo Attended Sunday school, but it felt like it was every day, though I didn't have a suit or no fancy shoes, we went in our play clothes Received the word and it molded me like Play-Doh but nigga we don't play, though, we don't play, though They say we get lower than an alligator's navel And when I say "gator," I mean that gator that match that sable fur coat I wish that PETA would thow some blood off on my furt folk Boi, ass whoopin' They out'chea eatin flesh, but wanna worry bout how I'm lookin I stay simply fresh to death Sir Lucious Left Foot, best foot forward You reap what you sow and now it's showin' [Chorus: Sarah Barthel] The lines we've crossed (The lines we've crossed) Have always been why I've lost It changes all the time Cause I've wondered how (I've wondered how) I'm happier when I lose what I've needed all my life ... [Sarah Barthel] All my life... (Repeat 3x) [Chorus: Sarah Barthel] The lines we've crossed (The lines we've crossed) Have always been why I've lost It changes all the time Cause I've wondered how (I've wondered how) I'm happier when I lose what I've needed all my life
