Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Convict, convict
Upfront, yeah
Convict Muzik (Ross)
Oh (Triple Cs)
If you ever cross that line
I guarantee you there'll be nothin' to save you
I got a whole bunch of gorillas, ready to pull the trigger
And we out for that paper
Comin' from a life of crime (Ross)
Tryna be on my best behavior
You see my rep's gettin' bigger
But still that same nigga bustin' shots at them haters
But only if you cross that line (hold up, hold up)
I was birthed in a crack house
But what made it worse every first is a packed house
Little brother knowin' life illegal
No toys, just playin' with pipes and needles
I'm glorifyin' knights and regals
Five thousand on the paint just so life will see you
Green cards for the free lunch
Now it's green cards, screen large and the seats crush
Big guns for the other side
Nigga try me, I'ma teach his momma homicide (gah-gah-gat-gat)
I wanna see his momma eyes (momma eyes)
I done cried 20 years, now I'm runnin' dry
If you ever cross that line
I guarantee you there'll be nothin' to save you
I got a whole bunch of gorillas ready to pull the trigger
And we out for that paper
Comin' from a life of crime
Tryna be on my best behavior
You see my rep's gettin' bigger
But still that same nigga bustin' shots at them haters
But only if you cross that line
Don't cross that line
Hopin' that you don't cross that line
Don't cross that line
Baby don't cross that line
When I'm low on funds, I'ma load up guns
Slap you in the head, I'ma open one
African in bed, she just hope I'm done
See the voodoo priest, then the coke gon' come
Open up a drum, I'm eatin' Oprah crumbs
Got poor credit, got whore debit
Walk in the 40-40, I'ma score, bet it
Four tennis chains ho, I'm progetic
But the boe pellets will get you prosthetics
If you don't dead it, just don't let it
A life sentence is a life sentence
All my homies got 'em, they just like Benzes
If you ever cross that line
I guarantee you there'll be nothin' to save you
I got a whole bunch of gorillas ready to pull the trigger
And we out for that paper
Comin' from a life of crime
Tryna be on my best behavior
You see my rep's gettin' bigger
But still that same nigga bustin' shots at them haters
But only if you cross that line
Don't cross that line
Hopin' that you don't cross that line
Don't cross that line
Baby don't cross that line
Don't push me nigga, I ain't pussy nigga
You would-be killers, yeah this could-be nigga
The last minute of your last breath
I'm the last image right before your last step
Shotta, Glock poppa, my block hotter
Cross the line, pay the fine (Ross) cop dollars
No matter your age, creed or color nigga
Can't cut it, stay choppin' through the butter nigga
Critics wonder will I last long
Even though I showed my ass on my last song (Ross)
I gets my mash on (Ross) no mask on (Ross)
Cross Ross, baby, it'll be a sad song
If you ever cross that line
I guarantee you there'll be nothin' to save you
I got a whole bunch of gorillas ready to pull the trigger
And we out for that paper
Comin' from a life of crime
Tryna be on my best behavior
You see my rep's gettin' bigger
But still that same nigga bustin' shots at them haters
But only if you cross that line
Don't cross that line
Hopin' that you don't cross that line
