Careful

Yeah, oh ,yeah

Oh, yeah, yeah

Yeah, oh

Well here come the man called Mortimer

Ya better overstand now

Overstand now

A no every smile a smile

Sometimes it takes a closer look to really realize

To see beneath the Jacks of many faces wearing smiles

If our visions were X-ray we’d see the evil in their eyes

And a no every friend a friend

A nuff of them deh round but just a few are genuine

Connect yourself with Jah and you will feel their energies

Nuff want fi see you fall and woulda trade fi anything

But I tell you just be

Careful of the ones

The ones you call your friends 'cause nuff of them a snake

Them filled with jealousy

And they will let you down

And keep an eye out for the ones you call your family

Them laugh with you today pretend them genuine

And they will let you down

No think them always have your interest at heart

And move like you no know say

Them will sit down and plot

Nuff a them rather see you behind bars

Never get too comfortable, pree them from your eye corner

Cause if you lapse them sell you out fI one burger

Imagine what them would a do fI millions and billions

Smaller your circle a di better my brother

Tings a get so dread might have to pree your own father

And just be careful of the ones

The ones you call your friends 'cause nuff of them a snake

They’re filled with jealousy

And they will let you down

And keep an eye out for the ones you call your family

Them laugh with you today pretend them genuine

And they will let you down

Eyes them stay peeled like an orange

Plus Jah deh pon mi side, no need fi be worried at all

Rastaman a no fool no watch the grin

Might buss a little laugh, that no mean me not watching you

I man been burnt too many times

Imagine how it hurt ehen you trust them till you blind

I a tell you the truth, people no nice

If a that you did a pree, beg you think that over twice

Just be careful of the ones

The ones you call your friends 'cause nuff of them a snake

Them filled with jealousy

And they will let you down

And keep an eye out for the ones you call your family

Them laugh with you today pretend them genuine

And they will let you down
