Careful - Mortimer

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
