Mortimer - Careful

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah
Woo yeah
Whoa yeah, yeah
Yeah-eh, whoa
Weh in come the man called Mortimer
You better overstand now
Huh
Overstand now, yeah
Huh, watch yah

[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'd see the evil in their eyes
Huh!
A no every friend a friend
A nuff a dem deh 'round, but just a few are genuine
Connect yourself with Jah and you will feel their energies
Nuff want fi see your fall and would a trade fi anything

[Chorus]
But I tell you just be careful a 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 dem genuine, oh
And they will let you down, oh

[Verse 2]
Nah think dem always have a interest at heart
And move like you no know say dem will sit down and plot
Nuff a dem rather see you behind bars
Never get too comfortable, pree dem from your eye corner
'Cause if your ?? will sell you out fi one burger
Imagine weh would a 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 a 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 dem genuine, oh
And they will let you down, oh

[Verse 3]
Oii
Eyes dem stay peel like a orange
Plus Jah deh 'pon me side, no need fi be worried, Lord
Rastaman a no fool, now watch the grin
Might buss a likkle off, that no mean me not 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 no nice
If a that you did a pree, bet you think that over twice

[Chorus]
And just be careful a 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 dem genuine, oh
And they will let you down, oh
