CAREFUL Songtext
von 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, I 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 (I don′t make those)
Look at that car I paid for (I paid for)
Look at my life, I'm grateful (I'm grateful)
Hatin′ on me, that′s hateful (that's hateful)
You know I hit what I aim for (aim for)
Talkin′ 'bout risks, I take those (I take ′em)
Didn't get here bein′ careful, oh (listen, uh)


Talkin' 'bout risks, gotta take those (woo)
Millionaire, still ride with the Draco (ah)
Courtside at the game, people try and 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 and 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 (like what?)
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 (roads)
Money comin' in in large loads (loads)
I′ve been crossed, so my heart cold
That's all we know, yeah


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 (good 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, I sit on my roof, like J. Cole (ayy, ayy, J. Cole, ayy)

Thinkin′ 'bout how I′m so thankful (woo)
Subpar songs, I don't make those (I don′t make those)
Look at that car I paid for (I paid for)
Look at my life, I'm grateful (I'm grateful)
Hatin′ on me, that′s hateful (that's hateful)
You know I hit what I aim for (aim for)
Talkin′ 'bout risks, I take those (I take ′em)
Didn't get here bein′ careful (ayy, ayy, ayy)

Called up my dad and I told him, "I got you
You wanna retire? Then do it, you're good" (good)
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-"
Called up to God and I asked Him, "You watchin′ my back?"
He ain't say nothin′ back, but I heard what He said (ha)

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 them, 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 (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 (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, I sit on my roof, like J. Cole (ayy, ayy, J. Cole, ayy)

Thinkin′ 'bout how I′m so thankful (woo)
Subpar songs, I don't make those (I don′t make those)
Look at that car I paid for (I paid for)
Look at my life, I'm grateful (I'm grateful)
Hatin′ on me, that′s hateful (that's hateful)
You know I hit what I aim for (aim for)
Talkin′ 'bout risks, I take those (I take ′em)
Didn't get here bein′ careful, uh (hey)
