“Safe” – Cardi B Ft. Kehlani
Quotable Lyrics
‘Cause I feel safe like I just ran and slid across the plate
Safe like we playin’ tag and you homebase
Ayy, safe like I got a big dog in a gate, grr
Safe like you one of these hoes, play in my face
Yeah, you know I know you know that I’m that bitch, right? (Uh)
