Lyrics for Safe
Song by Cardi B, Kehlani
[Intro: Cardi B]
Yeah, ayy
It’s Cardi, Kehlani
It’s you and I, baby, ah, ah, baby (Huh?)
Yeah, look[Chorus: Cardi B, Kehlani]
I don’t need a rich n****, just somebody that can make me feel
Safe (Yeah, look)
I dealt with a couple n*****, but nobody ever made me feel
Safe like you (Facts)
‘Cause when I’m with you, I just know I’m fine (Know I’m fine)
You take all the pressure off my mind (All the time)
Patient and kind when I be going out my mind
Safe from the problems, I don’t worry ’cause I’m hard to find[Verse 1: Cardi B]
I’m from the block, baby (Block baby), it’s you and I, baby (I, baby)
If the world turn against me, who I got, baby? (Who I got, bae?)
Bust at your opps, baby (Gah, gah), up it and flock, baby (Bah, bah)
I’m talkin’ ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, baby, huh?[Verse 2: Kehlani, Cardi B]
I know that it’s on you right now (Yeah, yeah, oh yeah)
I’m feelin’ right at home, safe in your arms, baby, comе hold me down (Come hold me down, huh? Ooh, yеah)
Safe like a key and a lock on me, safe like a crib with the combo, please
Hold you down (Hold you down, down, down, ooh, yeah)
I can put my guard down, I can pour my heart out
Love when you around (Love when you around, huh? Ooh, yeah)
Unplug the alarm now, show you all my cards now (Look)[Chorus: Cardi B, Kehlani]
I don’t need a rich n****, just somebody that can make me feel
Safe (Yeah, look)
I cut off a couple n***** ’cause they never ever made me feel
Safe like you (Facts)
‘Cause when I’m with you, I just know I’m fine (Know I’m fine)
You take all the pressure off my mind (All the time)
Patient and kind when I be going out my mind
Safe from the problems, I don’t worry ’cause I’m hard to find[Verse 3: Cardi B, Kehlani]
‘Cause I feel safe like I just ran and slid across the plate
Safe like we playin’ tag and you home base
Ayy, safe like I got a big dog in a gate, rrr
Safe like you one of these hoes, play in my face
Yeah, you know I know you know that I’m that b****, right? (Uh)
You got a girl that n***** wanna get, right? (Uh)
When I spaz and I crash, you ain’t gon’ dip, right?
That’s when I need you the most
That’s how I get, right? Right?
Baby, I feel safe in your arms, I feel safe (Safe)
Safe like the money, let it sit up in the bank (Safe)
Safe like a car with the alarm, I feel safe
My bodyguard right by my side, so I[Chorus: Cardi B, Kehlani]
I don’t need a rich n****, just somebody that can make me feel
Safe (Yeah, look)
I dealt with a couple n*****, but nobody ever made me feel
Safe like you (Facts)
‘Cause when I’m with you, I just know I’m fine (Know I’m fine)
You take all the pressure off my mind (All the time)
Patient and kind when I be going out my mind
Safe from the problems, I don’t worry ’cause I’m hard to find[Outro: Kehlani]
Safe, safe, safe (Ooh, safe, I feel)
Safe, safe, safe (Ooh, safe, I feel)
Safe, safe, safe (I feel like I’m VIP)
Safe, safe, safe (I feel like I trust my man, it gives security, ha)
