Verse 1

Late afternoonthe sun s goin down
A ca-ca-call on the cell why s he in such a hurry?
Leavin the roomhe s mumbling too
Nownow lookin for his shoes he s leaving out the room
No explanationno actual location
Just watchin him pacin wonder who he s stressing
Little conversationleavin no debationhe left the door swingin ...

Chorus

You better open your mind
You gotta read between the lines
You gotta read between the lineslines
You gotta read between the lines
You gotta read between the lines

Verse 2

9 in the mornin upupup way before breakfast
Homeboy gettin restless the room is full of questions
Little replyin whole lot of denyin
You re steady collidin so why do he keep on tryin ?
I search for the mediannow he s a comedian
That s all the more reason he s changin like the seasons
Are you still pleasin ? Well soon you ll be leavin
Which one will be grievin ?

Chorus

You better open your mind
You gotta read between the lineslines
You gotta read between the lineslines
You gotta read between the lineslines
You gotta read between the lines

Hope you don t think you re pullin one over me
Cause II know what s going on
I hope you ain t been plannin on runnin me
Cause thatthat ain t what I m on
Hope you don t think you re pullin one over me
Cause you ll look up and I ll be gone
Hope you ain t makin plans on runnin me
Cause I read between the lines...

Verse 3

Who got ya thinkin ya ish ain t been stinkin ?
My temperature s peakin why is he barely speakin ?
I m bustin his bubbleand he know he in trouble
He s talkin in doubles I m listenin but hardly believin
Ch-changin the storyor tryin to ignore me
Still reachin out for me but still I m hardly reachin
Give me a reason to put you back on the line
You ve wasted enough time

Chorus

I had to open my mind
Gotta read between the lineslines
You gotta read between the lineslines
You gotta read between the lineslines
You gotta read between the lineslines
You gotta read between the lineslines
You gotta read between the lineslines
You gotta read between the lines
