Cautious Clay Strange Love
Cautious Clay has come through with his new single “Strange Love,” enlisting Chicago lyricist Saba for the assist. Set to appear on his upcoming album Deadpan Love, which lands on June 25th, the track joins previously-released tracks “Wildfire,” “Karma & Friends,” “Roots,” “Dying In The Subtlety,” and “Agreeable.”
Musically, the track is a breath of fresh air from Cautious, whose melodic chops shine brightly alongside Saba’s assured bars. “But they treat me like a god, treat me like a villain,” he raps, after Clay holds it down. “Cause I’m that ni*ga everybody wanna get with / So long as my clothes match the pop song’s description / We turned stores upside down, put the tires on the ceiling.”
Cautious Clay – Strange Love (ft. Saba) (prod. HXNS & Cautious Clay)
[Intro: Cautious Clay]
Hey there
What’s up?
So do you have any expectations for this?
No, not really…
What—
I’m just… working on myself right now, ya know?
So you do?
I’m not like, you know like… I’m trying to stay curious
Is that right?
‘Cause, as soon as I’m not curious I’m insecure…
[Verse 1: Cautious Clay]
Treat me like a model, treat me like I’m reckless (Model, treat me)
‘Cause I’m that nigga everybody really wanna eat for breakfast (Oh)
Drop me off at the movies, take me to the mall
Poppin’ my collar forward tomorrow (Ooh)
‘Cause stranger things have happened
The making of the madness of love
(You-you-you can print whatever amount of money you want!)
Said you better not break that hard again
You was looking for light, tryna pick a fight
I don’t really got time for it, oh
[Chorus: Cautious Clay]
Gucci, Prada, Versace too
I don’t really know which one to choose
You making me think I’m lost
I don’t always gotta be the boss
Burning silence just us two
Black and white so tried and true
Driving ’round town poppin’ rounds off
I don’t really got much time
[Verse 2: Saba & Cautious Clay]
But they treat me like a god, treat me like a villain (Yeah)
‘Cause I’m that nigga everybody wanna get with
So long as my clothes match the pop song’s description (Whoa)
We turned stores upside down, put the tires on the ceiling (Oh no)
For retail, we sell ourselves short as a blunt sentence
Splurging a fun feeling, this shirt wasn’t on clearance
She looking at me like me and Benjamin share resemblance (Yeah)
I spend it because I get defensive about my entrance
[Bridge: Cautious Clay]
I could be a motherfucker if you want
I could be a motherfucker on the run
Smoking like blue strains or something
Puffing clouds in the night while I’m running
(Puffing clouds in the night while I’m running)
[Pre-Chorus: Cautious Clay]
Then I’ma take off when the going gets tough
‘Cause I don’t really feel like racing
My head’s only got two stations
(You-you-you can print whatever amount of money you want!)
‘Cause stranger things have happened
The making of the madness that’s love
[Chorus: Cautious Clay]
Gucci, Prada, Versace too
I don’t really know which one to choose
You making me think I’m lost (Oh)
I don’t always gotta be the boss (I don’t always gotta be the boss)
Burning silence just us two (Yeah)
Black and white so tried and true
Driving ’round town poppin’ rounds off
I don’t really got much time
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Outro: Cautious Clay]
No, I don’t really got much time
Ooh-ooh
‘Cause stranger things have happened
Driving ’round town poppin’ rounds off
‘Cause I don’t really got much time
‘Cause stranger things have happened
No, I don’t really got much time
Burning silence just us two (‘Cause stranger things have happened)
Black and white so tried and true
Driving ’round town poppin’ rounds off (I don’t really got much time)
I don’t really got much time
