Careful Lyrics – NF ft. Cordae

[Chorus: NF & Cordae]
Stunting 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)
Ducking and dodging the promo (Promo)
Sit on my roof like J. Cole (Ayy)
Yeah, sit on my roof like J. Cole (Ayy, J. Cole, ayy)
Thinking '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)
Hating on me, that's hateful, huh (That's hateful)
You know I hit what I aim for, huh (Aim for)
Talking 'bout risks, I take those, huh (I take 'em)
Didn't get here being careful, oh (Listen, uh)

[Verse 1: Cordae]
Talking 'bout risk, 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 talking 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 living 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)
Talking 'bout greed, talking 'bout envy
Talking 'bout money, then we talking 'bout plenty ('Bout plenty)
Talking 'bout dollars or we talking 'bout pennies?
Talking 'bout drinking, then we talking 'bout Henny
What we talking 'bout?
Lost souls at a crossroads
Money coming in in large loads
I've been crossed, so my heart cold
That's all we know, yeah

[Chorus: NF]
Stunting 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)
Ducking and dodging the promo (Promo)
Sit on my roof like J. Cole (Ayy)
Yeah, sit on my roof like J. Cole (Ayy, J. Cole, ayy)
Thinking '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)
Hating on me, that's hateful, huh (That's hateful)
You know I hit what I aim for, huh (Aim for)
Talking 'bout risks, I take those, huh (I take 'em)
Didn't get here being 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 watching my back?", He ain't say nothing back, but I heard what He said (Ahh)
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 (Ayy, ayy)
Yeah, I might as well bless all the people I love (Ayy, ayy)
We talking 'bout making a difference, I'm making one
Talking 'bout risks, I've been taking em
Talking 'bout dreams, I've been chasing 'em
Talking 'bout lives, I've been changing 'em
Talking '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]
Stunting 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)
Ducking and dodging the promo (Promo)
Sit on my roof like J. Cole (Ayy)
Yeah, sit on my roof like J. Cole (Ayy, J. Cole, ayy)
Thinking '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)
Hating on me, that's hateful, huh (That's hateful)
You know I hit what I aim for, huh (Aim for)
Talking 'bout risks, I take those, huh (I take 'em)
Didn't get here being careful, oh (Uh)
