Thomas Austin - Played It Safe Lyrics

Yeah
Look
Sometimes I reach in the past
Don't make me channel that man
While they be acting for clout
I'm flipping the channel they in
My niggas still in the trenches like a d-lineman stance
So my role is to empower each of their positions
I'm Robert Krafting the plan
Yeah
I got the chef hat in my hand
I'm cooking
The main ones who say they ain't watching
Are looking
I had a peace of remorse
They took it
Like everything else
Don't ask me how I feel in the moment
Stop making your making your main choice off emotions
Don't tell me that you love me for bonus
I see right through the lies
Like home plate I
Played it safe
Yeah
I stayed safe
Had me guarding my thoughts
Guarding my heart
I was guarding my faults
Guarding my all
I was way too exhausted
Guarding my calling
Yeah
Had me guarding my thoughts
Guarding my heart
I was guarding my faults
Guarding my all
I was way too exhausted
Guarding my calling
First team All-Defensive
I looked inside the mirror and I saw who had blocked the vision
You told the world you made for it but that shit was artificial
Can you look inside your life and tell me which part you winning
Cause now I look around and I can see who was riding with me
Even on the dirt roads
Even when we swerving
When the tires get to screeching and no matter where you turn it's a hurt soul
And that phone flash, ring light, and film filter can't block where that hurt go
Glad to be on earth so we toast up so big
Glasses bigger than Steve Urkel's
Aiming so high I couldn't even see that it's hurdles
What?
I used to turn off my phone when it's ringing
My phone calls consisted of those who benefit seeking
The ones who play the fence and choose whichever side eating
The overnight dreamers
But I'd rather be the one to supply than the one who need it
Don't ask me how I feel in the moment
Stop making your making your main choice off emotions
Don't tell me that you love me for bonus
I see right through the lies
Like home plate I
Played it safe
Yeah
I stayed safe
Got to get up out that comfort zone
Cause ain't no commas
Really it's just where the commons roam
Where all the comment section warriors just like to call their home
You don't get this type of life from hating through a telephone
Don't treat it like it's new to you
I said I'd make it along
But I had to run the bases I was stuck at home
Too many having access to me they shouldn't own
Too many yes-men and niggas wishing they get put on
Don't ask me how I feel in the moment
Stop making your making your main choice off emotions
Don't tell me that you love me for bonus
I see right through the lies
Like home plate I
Played it safe
Yeah
I stayed safe
Had me guarding my thoughts
Guarding my heart
I was guarding my faults
Guarding my all
I was way too exhausted
Guarding my calling
Yeah
Had me guarding my thoughts
Guarding my heart
I was guarding my faults
Guarding my all
I was way too exhausted
Guarding my calling

Yeah
Look
Sometimes I reach in the past
Don't make me channel that man
While they be acting for clout
