[Intro: Billie Holiday]
It cost me a lot
[Verse 1: Lil Baby & Billie Holiday]
It cost to be alive (It cost me a lot)
I won't say I'm king of the jungle, but, I survived (It cost me a lot)
Watch the cookie crumble in front of me, at least I tried (It cost me a lot)
You know what you call it, robbed what you call it? (It cost me a lot)
At least he— (It cost me a lot)
Since you speakin' 'bout it, you only on time because you hidin' (It cost me a lot)
Give me threesomes, she must know that hittin' her friends was on my mind (It cost me a lot)
Ain't no secret, I'm outside, been in this street shit all my life (It cost me a lot)
I know Migo wanna see me rich the day he dropped the price
They say everything done in the dark is gon' come to the light (It cost me a lot)
Bro, you know that shit weren't right, I don't like hoes who live for hype (It cost me a lot)
Brodie spend all of his cash on clothes, I guess he live for likes
I got so much goin' on, if I do it right, I'm lit for life (It cost me a lot)
Pull up foreign, everybody glowin', if you know, you know it
Can't compete with them lil' boys (It cost me a lot)
Rich for real, I just don't show it
'Round the way, they know it's me whenever they hear a lot of noise (It cost me a lot)
I'm Lil Baby, so, it's only right I got a lot of toys (It cost me a lot)
I'm like damn 'em if they hate
She been stuck for a few days
These jeans cost me three K
I don't see nobody in my way
All these young niggas talkin' money, I don't see nobody where I stay
I got wealth accounts and good investments, I'm always at the bank
[Verse 2: Rylo Rodriguez & Billie Holiday]
Yeah, I got white neighbors now, and they keep the curtains open where they stay at (It cost me a lot)
Told lil' bro, "We got to fit in, go open the curtains up inside the Maybach" (It cost me a lot)
We had them ho last year, she been expired, why would you date that? (It cost me a lot)
Them Percs ain't even half real, them Fentanyls dog, I wouldn't even take that (It cost me a lot)
Lil' bro beat the states, somehow his case got picked up by the feds (It cost me a lot)
He a opp but he can't talk no more, he still pronounced dead (It cost me a lot)
Fucked a nigga housewife in a condo, she's tryna move in it (It cost me a lot)
Brother got the bowl, but ain't the kind you put no food in it (It cost me a lot)
Cost to be alive
If you go broke, you won't survive
Free Joe, I interrupted him, told 'em I'ma call 'em back, he was sharpenin' knife (It cost me a lot)
Sharpenin' the fire (It cost me a lot)
I know the vibes, can't let you play me like no fool
Casamigos, I let her drive the boat, you took her on a cruise (It cost me a lot)
Don't care if we from the same hood (It cost me a lot)
You told, I'm treatin' you like you workin' (It cost me a lot)
How you catch them cases and got out? You on front-end diversion (It cost me a lot)
We hit the strip club, make it rain
My sweatshirt Blue Sky Inn (It cost me a lot)
Lil Fig, he can't cut for nothin', but he know how to shave down a pin
He know how to scratch off a serial (It cost me a lot)
[Bridge: Rylo Rodriguez & Billie Holiday]
She rich for life if she miss her period
Mix-match Rick Owens in the mirror (It cost me a lot)
Won't ever post another pic' in Amiris
He know how to scratch off a serial (It cost me a lot)
She rich for life if she miss her period
Mix-match Rick Owens in the mirror
Won't ever post another pic' in Amiris
[Outro: Billie Holiday]
It cost me a lot
It cost me a lot
It cost me a lot
