Play It Safe lyrics
by Lil Poppa
[Intro]
(Saucey, you a genius)
(Jai beats on the track, boy)
[Chorus]
Been tryna stay awake
True story, I been cutting off n*ggas every day
Can't trust a soul, I'm paranoid, I gotta play it safe
Twin on probation, can't leave the city, that's another case
But I ain't worried, if I need him, he coming right away
Somebody pass me a lighter, I'm just tryna see a brighter day
Lil' one say he need another pair, he had to burn up his Michael J's
Give me a mic and let me rock the stage
I'm just tryna change my n*gga life, he been on the block for days
All I know is get paid
Like, nah for real, I ain't been to sleep in six days
What you been doing? Tryna run that money six ways
Heard they been sliding through the 6 with 'bout six Ks
First n*gga walk up out that b*tch, gon' get his sh*t blazed
[Verse 1]
Could've f*cked one of the opps baby mama but the b*tch played
And I done been a lot of sh*t but I ain't never been [?]
And my nephews growing so I hustle, make sure them kids straight
If they kill me, let it be a cold case
And I know my n*ggas gon' retaliate
Heart made of gold but I always seem to get f*cked over
Dried up tears on my shoulder from a head I was holding
It get colder at night when I was running wild with them vultures
Don't you say you ain't mean it when you did when you posted it
[Chorus]
Been tryna stay awake
True story, I been cutting off n*ggas every day
Can't trust a soul, I'm paranoid, I gotta play it safe
Twin on probation, can't leave the city, that's another case
But I ain't worried, if I need him, he coming right away
Somebody pass me a lighter, I'm just tryna see a brighter day
Lil' one say he need another pair, he had to burn up his Michael J's
Give me a mic and let me rock the stage
I'm just tryna change my n*gga life, he been on the block for days
All I know is get paid
Like, nah for real, I ain't been to sleep in six days
What you been doing? Tryna run that money six ways
Heard they been sliding through the 6 with 'bout six Ks
First n*gga walk up out that b*tch, gon' get his sh*t blazed
[Verse 2]
Exactly
f*ck whoever after me
Don't run, I ain't no athlete
Tryna send a n*gga where the pastor be
My brother had the torch, I learned the game and he passed it to me
I don't give a f*ck how good your music sound, I ain't rapping for free
They like, "Poppa, what you taxing?" I don't know, but I'm tight for features
All that acting but scenes ain't make the movie, them b*tches deleted
You know all my b*tches conceited, and my weed the greatest
Straight drop, who clean the cleaners?
[?]
[Chorus]
Been tryna stay awake
True story, I been cutting off n*ggas every day
Can't trust a soul, I'm paranoid, I gotta play it safe
Twin on probation, can't leave the city, that's another case
But I ain't worried, if I need him, he coming right away
Somebody pass me a lighter, I'm just tryna see a brighter day
Lil' one say he need another pair, he had to burn up his Michael J's
Give me a mic and let me rock the stage
I'm just tryna change my n*gga life, he been on the block for days
All I know is get paid
Like, nah for real, I ain't been to sleep in six days
What you been doing? Tryna run that money six ways
Heard they been sliding through the 6 with 'bout six Ks
First n*gga walk up out that b*tch, gon' get his sh*t blazed
