Careful

[Intro]
Yeah yeah
Woo yeah
Woo yeah, yeah
Yeah woo
Weh in come the man called Mortimer
You better overstand now
Huh!
Overstand now
Watch ya

[Verse 1]
A no every smile a smile
Sometimes it takes a closer look to really realise
To see beneath the tracks of many faces wearing smiles
If our visions were X-ray we see the evil in their eyes
Huh!
A no every friend a friend
A nuff a dem deh round me just feel are genuine
Connect yourself with Jah and you will feel their energies
Nuff want fi see your fall and woulda trade fi anything

[Chorus]
I tell you just be careful of the ones
The ones you call your friends
Cause nuff a dem a snake dem filled with jealousy, oh
And they will let you down, oh
And keep an eye out for the ones you call your family
Dem laugh with you today pretend them genuine, oh
And they will let you down, oh

[Verse 2]
Nah think dem always have a interest at heart
And move like you nuh know seh dem will sit down and plot
Nuff a dem rather see you behind bars
Never get too comfortable, pree them from your eye corner
Cause if your [?] dem sell you out fi one burger
Imagine weh woulda do fi millions and billions
Smaller your circle a the better my brother
Things a get so dread, might haffi pree your own father

[Chorus]
And you just be careful of the ones
The ones you call your friends
Cause nuff a dem a snake dem filled with jealousy, oh
And they will let you down, oh
And keep an eye out for the ones you call your family
Dem laugh with you today pretend them genuine, oh
And they will let you down, oh

[Verse 3]
Oy
Eyes them stay peel like a orange
Plus Jah deh pon mi side no need fi be worried, lawd
Rasta man a no fool, now watch the grin
Might buss a likkle off, that no mean me nuh watching you
I-man been burned too many times
Imagine now weh it hurt when you trust dem till you blind
I a tell you the truth, people nuh nice
If a that you did a pree, betta you think that over twice

[Chorus]
Just be careful of the ones
The ones you call your friends
Cause nuff a dem a snake dem filled with jealousy, oh
And they will let you down, oh
And keep an eye out for the ones you call your family
Dem laugh with you today pretend them genuine, oh
And they will let you down, oh
