Be Careful Songtext
von Ak'Sent

Uh-huh
This song right here
Is to my inspiration
My grandma

That′s what she said to me

As I laid down for bed, anointed oil sprinkled down my head
She just prayed, hopin' my belief would never fade
And God forbid I forget the way I was raised
Yeah, that′s what she said, "Baby, use your head
Respect is always due to the person ahead
And even though we struggle, I believe in you
Keep workin' hard one day, we gon' make it through" (Fa sho′)
So now, now that that′s all out

I'm sorry for the times we had to scream and shout
I just never wanna see any harm come to ya
There′s nothin' in the world I wouldn′t sacrifice for ya

I lived my life so now it's time for you


To do all the things that I could not do
The opportunity′s there and it's up to you
And no matter what happens, I'll be there for you

That′s what she said to me

Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Girl, be careful (Be careful)
There′s a lot of things you might not like
A lot of things you can't control
Girl, be careful (Be careful)
You can do anything with your life
So long as you do it right

She said, "Girl, you′re beautiful
Despite all the problems that you've been through

Know that you can make it through
With God, everything′s possible
If no one ever told you, I'm proud of you
But I′m only gonna tell you the truth
To succeed, you need struggle
And that's a small piece of the puzzle
So go and get your piece of the pie, look to the sky
And keep the Martin Luther King dream alive
Keep it goin', just take it in stride, it′s okay to cry


Just never let ′em see you sweat

Try not to do the things you regret
Now if you did, it's the past, just try not to do it again
Plus, be careful when you′re pickin' your friends

Be careful of the ones that pretend
Find one that′ll stick to the end

Someone to depend on and lend
A helpin' hand, keep your head straight when you bend

Nothin′ last forever, I can't be here forever

Just be careful, baby

Girl, be careful (Be careful)
There's a lot of things you might not like
A lot of things you can′t control
Girl, be careful (Be careful)
You can do anything with your life
So long as you do it right

I remember the rainy days I had in my life
She was always there to make things right
And if ever I was down, depressed in my life
She was always there to make my days go bright
Oh baby, I′m always there for you
You're the sun in my day, in the night, you′re my moon
No matter what it is that you're goin′ through
That's never ever, never ever, that′s never gonna change
No, no, she said

Girl, be careful (Be careful)
There's a lot of things you might not like
A lot of things you can't control
Girl, be careful (Be careful)
You can do anything with your life
So long as you do it right

Do it right, do it right, yeah, yeah
Baby, be careful, oh, oh, oh
Do it right
It ain′t never gonna change, never gonna change
