Notes About The Poem

Based on St. Matthew 6:1  ...............<JELSR>                

 

Be Careful

Be careful, be careful
Be careful what you do
Be careful what you say
Be careful what you mean

Be careful, be careful
Be careful what you mean
Because what you do it's not about being seen
What's ya motive
What's the scene

Be careful, be careful
Be careful what you do
Be careful what you say
Be careful what you mean
No, no, no this isn't a dream
Be careful what you say
Be careful of what you do
It's not what you mean
Because what you do it's not about being seen

Don't go round being nice to others;
Don't embrace me cause I'm not you brother
The good things you do is not being true (and)

Be careful, be careful
Be careful what you do
Be careful what you say
Be careful what you mean

Be careful, be careful
Be careful what you mean
Because what you do it's not about being seen
What's ya motive
What's the scene

Be careful not to do acts of unrighteousness
Be careful not to do acts of unrighteousness
Just because you wanna  be seen
Before, before men to be seen by them
Just because you wanna be seen by them
Keep this up and you won't receive a reward from your Father in heaven
ya, won't receive  a crown then

Be careful, be careful
Be careful what you do
Be careful what you say
Be careful what you mean be careful
