[English]

Yeah (yeah), ay (ay)

It's Cardi (it's Cardi), Kehlani (Kehlani)

It's you and I, baby, ah, ah, baby (huh?)

Yeah, look

I don't need a rich nigga, just somebody that can make me feel

Safe (yeah, look)

I dealt with a couple niggas, 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 goin' out my mind

Safe from the problems, I don't worry 'cause I'm hard to find

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?

I know that it's on you right now (yeah, yeah, oh yeah)

I'm feelin' right at home, safe in your arms, baby, come hold me down (come hold me down, huh? Ooh, yeah)

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)

I don't need a rich nigga, just somebody that can make me feel

Safe (yeah, look)

I cut off a couple niggas '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 goin' out my mind

Safe from the problems, I don't worry 'cause I'm hard to find

'Cause I feel safe like I just ran and slid across the plate

Safe like we playin' tag and you home base

Ay, safe like I got a big dog in a gate, rrr

Safe like you one of these hos, play in my face

Yeah, you know I know you know that I'm that bitch, right? (Uh)

You got a girl that niggas 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

I don't need a rich nigga, just somebody that can make me feel

Safe (yeah, look)

I dealt with a couple niggas, 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 goin' out my mind

Safe from the problems, I don't worry 'cause I'm hard to find

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)
