Played It Safe Lyrics

Yeah

Look

Sometimes I reach in the past

Don't make me channel that man

While they be acting for clout

I'm flipping the channel they in

My niggas still in the trenches like a d-lineman stance

So my role is to empower each of their positions

I'm Robert Krafting the plan

Yeah

I got the chef hat in my hand

I'm cooking

The main ones who say they ain't watching

Are looking

I had a peace of remorse

They took it

Like everything else

Don't ask me how I feel in the moment

Stop making your making your main choice off emotions

Don't tell me that you love me for bonus

I see right through the lies

Like home plate I

Played it safe

Yeah

I stayed safe

Had me guarding my thoughts

Guarding my heart

I was guarding my faults

Guarding my all

I was way too exhausted

Guarding my calling

Yeah

Had me guarding my thoughts

Guarding my heart

I was guarding my faults

Guarding my all

I was way too exhausted

Guarding my calling

First team All-Defensive

I looked inside the mirror and I saw who had blocked the vision

You told the world you made for it but that shit was artificial

Can you look inside your life and tell me which part you winning

Cause now I look around and I can see who was riding with me

Even on the dirt roads

Even when we swerving

When the tires get to screeching and no matter where you turn it's a hurt soul

And that phone flash, ring light, and film filter can't block where that hurt go

Glad to be on earth so we toast up so big

Glasses bigger than Steve Urkel's

Aiming so high I couldn't even see that it's hurdles

What?

I used to turn off my phone when it's ringing

My phone calls consisted of those who benefit seeking

The ones who play the fence and choose whichever side eating

The overnight dreamers

But I'd rather be the one to supply than the one who need it

Don't ask me how I feel in the moment

Stop making your making your main choice off emotions

Don't tell me that you love me for bonus

I see right through the lies

Like home plate I

Played it safe

Yeah

I stayed safe

Got to get up out that comfort zone

Cause ain't no commas

Really it's just where the commons roam

Where all the comment section warriors just like to call their home

You don't get this type of life from hating through a telephone

Don't treat it like it's new to you

I said I'd make it along

But I had to run the bases I was stuck at home

Too many having access to me they shouldn't own

Too many yes-men and niggas wishing they get put on

Don't ask me how I feel in the moment

Stop making your making your main choice off emotions

Don't tell me that you love me for bonus

I see right through the lies

Like home plate I

Played it safe

Yeah

I stayed safe

Had me guarding my thoughts

Guarding my heart

I was guarding my faults

Guarding my all

I was way too exhausted

Guarding my calling

Yeah

Had me guarding my thoughts

Guarding my heart

I was guarding my faults

Guarding my all

I was way too exhausted

Guarding my calling
