Guarded Lyrics

Don't try telling me that I'm cold-hearted

When the only way to your love is diamonds

How'd you treat me if I had nothing?

Lucky me, I got all that comfort

No more drugs, I just want that substance

How I got here? It was not so lovely

But the pressure never broke me, nah

It just turned me into a cold nigga, yeah yeah

When they start noticing my strength

They raise the bar, burden me more weight

I'm still carrying some heavy things

Broke my back for 'em plenty days

Didn't kill me but made me change

So now, I'm more guarded and protective over everything

My time, my money, my love, my mind, my heart

My heart, yeah yeah

My time, my money, my love, my mind, my heart

My heart

Don't try telling me that I'm cold-hearted (yeah)

'Cause when I shared my pain, you were so unbothered (so unbothered)

Said some things to me I can't stomach

Why'd you feed me with all that nonsense?

Made it seem self-inflicted, yeah you tried it

This time around, I've been keeping shit private, yeah

But the pressure never broke me, nah

It just turned me into a cold nigga, yeah yeah

When they start noticing my strength

They raise the bar, burden me more weight

I'm still carrying some heavy things

Broke my back for 'em plenty days

Didn't kill me but made me change

So now, I'm more guarded and protective over everything

My time, my money, my love, my mind, my heart

My time, my money, my love, my mind, my heart

My heart, yeah yeah
