CAREFUL

[Chorus: NF & Cordae]

Stuntin' on me, you get exposed (Woo)

I don't wanna pick, then I buy both (Buy both)

Doesn't go plat', it'll go gold (Go gold)

Keep it upfront, I don't tiptoe (Ayy)

I be at the house tryna lay low (Lay low)

Duckin' and dodgin' the promo (Promo)

Sit on my roof like J. Cole (Ayy)

Yeah, sit on my roof like J. Cole (Ayy, J. Cole, ayy)

Thinkin' 'bout how I'm so thankful (Woo)

Subpar songs, I don't make those, huh (I don't make those)

Look at that car I paid for, huh (I paid for)

Look at my life, I'm grateful, huh (I'm grateful)

Hatin' on me, that's hateful, huh (That's hateful)

You know I hit what I aim for, huh (Aim for)

Talkin' 'bout risks, I take those, huh (I take 'em)

Didn't get here bein' careful, oh (Listen, uh)

[Verse 1: Cordae]

Talkin' 'bout risks, I take tho' (Woo)

Millionaire, still ride with the Draco (Ah)

Courtside at the game, jumbotron got my name on it

That's how a typical day goes (For real)

I just left Nigeria, Lagos (Lagos)

I just met Kanye, Yezos (Ye)

I was talkin' to God 'bout what's real or what's not

All He said was, "Remain faithful" (Ayy)

Okay, I get it, I got it, I'm with it, I'm 'bout it

My crib is exotic, I'm blessed, hey (I'm blessed)

We livin' chaotic, was high off narcotics

But that's when my life was a mess, hey (A mess)

We come from the bottom, we still at the bottom

I get high to relieve the stress, hey (The stress)

I don't think y'all get the message

This world is built off misconceptions (Uh)

Talkin' 'bout greed, talkin' 'bout envy

Talkin' 'bout money, then we talkin' 'bout plenty ('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

[Chorus: NF]

Stuntin' on me, you get exposed (Woo)

I don't wanna pick, then I buy both (Buy both)

Doesn't go plat', it'll go gold (Go gold)

Keep it upfront, I don't tiptoe (Ayy)

I be at the house tryna lay low (Lay low)

Duckin' and dodgin' the promo (Promo)

Sit on my roof like J. Cole (Ayy)

Yeah, sit on my roof like J. Cole (Ayy, J. Cole, ayy)

Thinkin' 'bout how I'm so thankful (Woo)

Subpar songs, I don't make those, huh (I don't make those)

Look at that car I paid for, huh (I paid for)

Look at my life, I'm grateful, huh (I'm grateful)

Hatin' on me, that's hateful, huh (That's hateful)

You know I hit what I aim for, huh (Aim for)

Talkin' 'bout risks, I take those, huh (I take 'em)

Didn't get here bein' careful, oh (Ayy, ayy, ayy)

[Verse 2: NF]

Called up my dad and I told him "I got you, you wanna retire? Then do it, you're good" (Good; woo)

Called up my grandma and told her, "It's time to move out of that basement, let's get you a crib" (Crib)

Called up my manager, told him, "Get ready, it's 'bout to get busy, this record is—" (Huh)

Called up to God and I asked Him, "You watchin' my back?" He ain't say nothin' back, but I heard what He said (Ahh)

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 (Ayy, ayy)

Yeah, I might as well bless all the people I love (Ayy, ayy)

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 (Woo)

[Chorus: NF]

Stuntin' on me, you get exposed (Woo)

I don't wanna pick, then I buy both (Buy both)

Doesn't go plat', it'll go gold (Go gold)

Keep it upfront, I don't tiptoe (Yeah)

I be at the house tryna lay low (Lay low)

Duckin' and dodgin' the promo (Promo)

Sit on my roof like J. Cole (Ayy)

Yeah, sit on my roof like J. Cole (Ayy, J. Cole, ayy)

Thinkin' 'bout how I'm so thankful (Woo)

Subpar songs, I don't make those, huh (I don't make those)

Look at that car I paid for, huh (I paid for)

Look at my life, I'm grateful, huh (I'm grateful)

Hatin' on me, that's hateful, huh (That's hateful)

You know I hit what I aim for, huh (Aim for)

Talkin' 'bout risks, I take those, huh (I take 'em)

Didn't get here bein' careful, oh (Uh)
