Lyrics Careful – NF, Cordae
Stuntin’ on me, you get exposed
I don’t wanna pick, then I buy both
Doesn’t go plat’, it’ll go gold
Keep it upfront, I don’t tiptoe
I be at the house tryna lay low
Duckin’ and dodgin’ the promo
Sit on my roof like J. Cole
Yeah, sit on my roof like J. Cole
Thinkin’ ’bout how I’m so thankful
Subpar songs, I don’t make those, huh
Look at that car I paid for, huh
Look at my life, I’m grateful, huh
Hatin’ on me, that’s hateful, huh
You know I hit what I aim for, huh
Talkin’ ’bout risks, I take those, huh
Didn’t get here bein’ careful, oh
Talkin’ ’bout risk, I take tho’
Millionaire, still ride with the Draco
Courtside at the game, jumbotron got my name on it
That’s how a typical day goes
I just left Nigeria, Lagos
I just met Kanye, Yezos
I was talkin’ to God ’bout what’s real or what’s not
All He said was, Remain faithful
Okay, I get it, I got it, I’m with it, I’m ’bout it
My crib is exotic, I’m blessed, hey
We livin’ chaotic, was high off narcotics
But that’s when my life was a mess, hey
We come from the bottom, we still at the bottom
I get high to relieve the stress, hey
I don’t think y’all get the message
This world is built off misconceptions
Talkin’ ’bout greed, talkin’ ’bout envy
Talkin’ ’bout money, then we talkin’ ’bout plenty
Talkin’ ’bout dollars or we talkin’ ’bout pennies
Talkin’ ’bout drinkin’, then we talkin’ ’bout Henny
What we talkin’ ’bout
Lost souls at a crossroads
Money comin’ in in large loads
I’ve been crossed, so my heart cold
That’s all we know, yeah
Stuntin’ on me, you get exposed
I don’t wanna pick, then I buy both
Doesn’t go plat’, it’ll go gold
Keep it upfront, I don’t tiptoe
I be at the house tryna lay low
Duckin’ and dodgin’ the promo
Sit on my roof like J. Cole
Yeah, sit on my roof like J. Cole
Thinkin’ ’bout how I’m so thankful
Subpar songs, I don’t make those, huh
Look at that car I paid for, huh
Look at my life, I’m grateful, huh
Hatin’ on me, that’s hateful, huh
You know I hit what I aim for, huh
Talkin’ ’bout risks, I take those, huh
Didn’t get here bein’ careful, oh
Called up my dad and I told him
I got you, you wanna retire, Then do it, you’re good
Called up my grandma and told her
It’s time to move out of that basement, let’s you get a crib
Called up my manager, told him
Get ready, it’s ’bout to get busy, this record is..
Called up to God and I asked Him, You watchin’ my back
He ain’t say nothin’ back, but I heard what He said
When you see how I’m livin’, the answer is obvious
Ain’t it When you go from poverty
Stricken and stressin’ ’bout buyin’ the groceries
To not even havin’ to look at the total
You know you’ve been blessed
Sharin’ the wealth, ain’t no point in me keepin’ this all to myself
I ain’t takin’ this money with me to my grave
Yeah, I might as well bless all the people I love
We talkin’ ’bout makin’ a difference, I’m makin’ one
Talkin’ ’bout risks, I’ve been takin’ em
Talkin’ ’bout dreams, I’ve been chasin’ ’em
Talkin’ ’bout lives, I’ve been changin’ ’em
Talkin’ ’bout family, don’t play with ’em, woo
That’s a line you don’t cross, no
Low blows, can’t respect those
Gotta keep the loved ones close
That’s all we know
Stuntin’ on me, you get exposed
I don’t wanna pick, then I buy both
Doesn’t go plat’, it’ll go gold
Keep it upfront, I don’t tiptoe
I be at the house tryna lay low
Duckin’ and dodgin’ the promo
Sit on my roof like J. Cole
Yeah, sit on my roof like J. Cole
Thinkin’ ’bout how I’m so thankful
Subpar songs, I don’t make those, huh
Look at that car I paid for, huh
Look at my life, I’m grateful, huh
Hatin’ on me, that’s hateful, huh
You know I hit what I aim for, huh
Talkin’ ’bout risks, I take those, huh
Didn’t get here bein’ careful, oh…
