Crossing Lines
Kendrick Lamar

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, let’s go

[Verse 1]
Who built the wall?
While we acting small,
Like it’s bricks of hate,
I got bigger stakes,
Peep the gate,
You think you safe, huh?
Living life in the shades,
I’m the sun, shining bright,
Illuminate this fate,
Crossing lines where you can’t relate,

You think you tough, huh?
Behind the screen,
With that hate you fling,
But your dreams in a sting,
Wanna throw stones?
I’ll break your bones,
In the field of politics,
I’m the king, no clones,

[Chorus]
Crossing lines like the rivers do flow,
You claim it’s ours, but you just don’t know,
Different world, we ain’t the same,
Got God on my side, watch me take aim,

Crossing lines, ya’ll think it’s a game,
But I’m climbing mountains while you’re just playing tame,

[Verse 2]
Excuse my French but I’ll drill in your heart,
You calling shots, but you don’t know the part,
Living off the grid, huh?
That's your disguise,
Sweeping dirt under rugs with those little lies,

Legal or illegal, the border’s a joke,
While you pitching insults, that’s the real smoke,
Like God said, love thy neighbor, but not like this,
You praying for rain while I’m flooding your bliss,

[Chorus]
Crossing lines like the rivers do flow,
You claim it’s ours, but you just don’t know,
Different world, we ain’t the same,
Got God on my side, watch me take aim,

Crossing lines, ya’ll think it’s a game,
But I’m climbing mountains while you’re just playing tame,

[Bridge]
You a soldier, but you fail to see,
Your own battles, G, battling me,
Got bars for days while you nod and agree,
The truth hurts, but it set me free,

[Verse 3]
So keep your bricks and your lawsuits too,
You build up hate, but I’m razing it through,
No limits on love, put that on the line,
Crossing borders like they wasting my time,

[Chorus]
Crossing lines like the rivers do flow,
You claim it’s ours, but you just don’t know,
Different world, we ain’t the same,
Got God on my side, watch me take aim,

Crossing lines, ya’ll think it’s a game,
But I’m climbing mountains while you’re just playing tame,

[Outro]
Yeah, crossing lines, I’m calling ya’ll bluff,
Kendrick on the rise, it’s more than enough."}
