Safety

(album: The Takeoff - 2020)

Fake energy, keep me from 'round them
My real niggas, I don't need to doubt them
Only in it if the money's the outcome
Amiri on my T, you know I'm a wild one
I made a change and it changed my life
A lot people wanna eat the whole cake
But didn't make slice, it's kinda crazy right?
Try spending a day in my shoes
And even though we win, we still lose
I get that you probably wouldn't understand
Seven-figure dreams while you niggas praying for a hundred grand
I saw past the mistakes and the council flats
I need more than the money counter to count these racks
And even though we're kinda good, we're not gone yet
And every other move we make is like a one-step
But all in due time, things will work out
For now, it's back to the grind, pushing work out

And I said what our set is
Dirty Sprite, fill the cup up with some sedatives
I be numbing trying to take all of this pain away
Every other day feel like a rainy day
Man, it keeps raining
Every other day feel like the same thing
I be with it off safety for my own safety
Knowing only God can save me

Smooth criminal
Always do the most 'cause we don't do the minimal
All you niggas follow fashion, we originals
And we can tell your every move cah you predictable
Ah, I done seen this shit before
Hit the new season, know a nigga's ripping out the store
My niggas still in the field gripping on the fours
We never had a pot to piss in back when we were poor
Could never settle for less 'cause a nigga wants more
Vision used to be blurry, now the shades are Tom Ford
Got a French chick and all I ever hear is, "Bonjour"
Cah a nigga fly, something like a Concorde

Yeah, a nigga's fly and I said it
Anywhere it's due, know I always give the credit
Always with the go-getters so I go and get it
Said I'm always with the go-getters so I go and get it

And I said what our set is
Dirty Sprite, fill the cup up with some sedatives
I be numbing trying to take all of this pain away
Every other day feel like a rainy day
Man, it keeps raining
Every other day feel like the same thing
I be with it off safety for my own safety
Knowing only God can save me

You can see the grind from creases in my Nike Airs
You thought I wouldn't do it right, yeah
When everybody left, I stood right here
And every other day, I still fight fears
Ace of Spades, this ain't Chardonnay
Bracelets, they're from Cartier
I looked the Devil in his eyes and told him face me
Knowing only one man can save me
