Cautious
[Verse 1: JL]
Cautious
Watch what you say to people
Watch who you talking to
These bitches be busy bodies
You see what gossip do? (Oh you do?)
N***as be air-hustling
They pick up all the news
These rumors you hear are 'cause of them
You know they keep watching you
And quick to tell you bidness when they know a lil something
I rather say that I haven't been able to trust 'em
What if I baited 'em, got 'em, portrayed it and grudged it
I done debated, but no way to say what it was when
Someone is faking I probably can make an assumption
And maybe I'm jaded but I done been hated for nothing
I separated from ways and I made an adjustment
Had to find a way I could provide my n***a
Tried to divide mine with ya
It's the jungle where the wildlife get ya
To survive keep a nine, .45, silencer
Clarify that you terrified if I ride with ya, dry snitching
Spy just to find side switchin’ guys
Would you picture lies, bitches sideline just to crucify ya
The vibe of a wide-eyed listener
Where or why would you identify my picture
[Hook: Stevie Stone, JL, & Flawless Real Talk]
Cautious
Hate when you make a mistake
They be keeping all tabs on the moves you make
Better watch what you say when they all in your face
Gotta move real cautious
Ain't no way to stop all the gossip
Watch it if you never wanna end up the topic
You gotta remember that pillow talking is toxic
And move real cautious
Be careful who you keep in your circle
It's the people that you think'll never hurt you
That'll be the first to put you in the dirt
Can't be too cautious
Be cautious
Be cautious
[Verse 2: Stevie Stone]
I see another lame and he livid
You talk about a n***a, how he living
Attention, I'ma give in a minute
I sit you n***as all up in the business
He so entertained when he ventin'
I put him in the lane, real written
Said he all out for the grain, never didn't
Said I'm sick of you lames, who be tellin'?
Hopped on another tub of 40-water
And me and wifey all up in Tijuana
I put it on the 'Gram, wanna see who wanna
Comment on the dinner out in Benihana
A n***a got a plex, gonna hate that
Talk about a n***a usin' fake facts
Certain talks in the streets, can't take back
Then you wonder why n***as gettin' laid back
You be all over social
Doing the motions
Half the truth, you start to tell it in doses
Got a notion like "How you know this?"
Quick to tell "Don’t tell nobody I told this"
Out of line, you n***as out of line
Out the blue, you calling in your mans
And then to find out where the trust lies
You better think wiser who you call your fam
You gotta move real

Gotta watch what you saying around these devices
Showing too much only leads to crisis
Tryna bleed the vices, but I leave 'em lifeless
Snake eyes got me thinking, all I see are dices
Dealin' with the fame only pays the prices
But mentioning my name elevates excitement
I'm snatching every ear with the strength of Tyson
And my grip just tightened, I'm the strongest Titan
I done came with my killas, when we strike it’s lightning
Fast and frightening, gotta prove the sighting
Boy’s past invitin', if you even say a word we fighting
'Cause you move and you act just like them
I can tell
Since they wanna bring me down, I'll just give 'em hell
For a n***a, make a hole just to wish him well
If you think you coming back it's a bigger fail
Gettin' stronger every day, we gon' tip the scale
Underground where we underrated
Underdogs, underestimated
Leveled up, now we elevated
Like who the hell said we never made it, boy?
In my city I've been celebrated
And you gon' respect it even if you hate it
Got this paranoia I can never shake it
That just means that I always gotta move real
