CAREFUL

(album: HOPE - 2023)

Stunting on me, you get exposed
I don't wanna pick then I buy both
Doesn't go plat, it'll go gold
Keep it up upfront, I don't tiptoe
I be at the house trying to lay low
Ducking and dodging the promo
Sit on my roof like J Cole
Yeah, sit on my roof like J Cole

Thinking about how I'm so thankful
Subpar songs, I don't make those
Look at that car I paid for
Look at my life, I'm grateful
Hating on me, that's hateful
You know I hit what I aim for
Talking 'bout risks, I take those
Didn't get here being careful

Listen, ah
Talking 'bout risk, I take those
Millionaire still riding 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, Yesoz
I was talking to God, 'bout what's real or what's not
All he said was remain faithful

OK, I get, I got it, I'm with it, I'm 'bout it
My crib is exotic I'm blessed, hey
We living 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 just world is built off misconceptions

Talkin 'bout greed
Talkin 'bout envy
Talkin 'bout money, then we talking 'bout plenty
Talkin 'bout dollars, or we talking 'bout pennies
Talking 'bout drinking, then we talking 'bout Henny
What we talking 'bout
Lost souls at a crossroad, money coming in in large loads
I've been crossed so my heart cold
That's all we know

Stunting on me, you get exposed
I don't wanna pick then I buy both
Doesn't go plat, it'll go gold
Keep it up upfront, I don't tiptoe
I be at the house trying to lay low
Ducking and dodging the promo
Sit on my roof like J Cole
Yeah, sit on my roof like J Cole

Thinking about how I'm so thankful
Subpar songs, I don't make those
Look at that car I paid for
Look at my life, I'm grateful
Hating on me, that's hateful
You know I hit what I aim for
Talking 'bout risks, I take those
Didn't get here being careful

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 get you a crib
Called up my manager, told 'em get ready
It's 'bout to get busy this record is, ah
Called up to God and I asked 'em you watching my back?
He ain't say nothing back but I heard what He said
When you see how I'm living the answer is obvious ain't it
When you go from poverty stricken and stressing
'Bout buying the groceries to not even having to look at the total
You know you've been blessed
Sharing the wealth, ain't no point in me keeping this all to myself
I ain't taking this money with me to my grave
Yeah, I might as well bless all the people I love

We talking 'bout making a difference, I'm making one
Talking 'bout risks, I been taken 'em
Talking 'bout dreams, I been chasing 'em
Talking 'bout lives, I been changing 'em
Talking 'bout family don't play with 'em, whoa

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, yeah

Stunting on me, you get exposed
I don't wanna pick then I buy both
Doesn't go plat, it'll go gold
Keep it up upfront, I don't tiptoe
I be at the house trying to lay low
Ducking and dodging the promo
Sit on my roof like J Cole
Yeah, sit on my roof like J Cole

Thinking about how I'm so thankful
Subpar songs, I don't make those
Look at that car I paid for
Look at my life, I'm grateful
Hating on me, that's hateful
You know I hit what I aim for
Talking 'bout risks, I take those
Didn't get here being careful
