Close Friends
Lil Baby Lyrics

We started off as close friends (close friends)
The relationship began as a close friendship

Somehow you turned into my girlfriend (my girlfriend)
Over time, the friendship evolved into a romantic relationship

We used to tell each other everything (everything)
The two used to confide in each other and share intimate details

I even went and bought her diamond rings, matching earrings
He bought her expensive jewelry to express his affection

Everything was so cool (so cool)
The relationship was going well

Lately baby been actin' so rude (been so rude)
She has been behaving rudely towards him recently

I don't know what somebody told you (what they told you)
He's not sure why she's acting this way

But I ain't gon' lie, I miss the old you
He misses the person she used to be before her current behavior

I know you remember how I would hold you
He reminds her of their physical intimacy

Still remember how I approached you
He recalls how he expressed his feelings to her

I think I loved you 'fore I knew you
He believes he was falling in love with her even before they officially got together

Know we be fuckin' 'fore I screwed you
Their sexual relationship began before they became official

Made a promise I won't use you
He made a promise to not take advantage of her

Play my cards right, I won't lose you
He hopes to maintain the relationship by making good choices

Got 'em tuned in like I'm YouTube
He has many people paying attention to him, like a social media personality

Got some' on me like it's voodoo
He has loyal fans who are obsessed with him

I'll go nuts for you, go cuckoo, lose my cool and all
He's willing to do anything for her, including losing his composure

And I know that shit was wrong, I shouldn't've did what I did
He acknowledges his mistakes and regrets his actions

Just wipe your eyes and stop this cryin'
He wants her to stop crying and move on from the situation

I told the truth, that I'd been lyin'
He came clean about something he had previously lied about

I gave you racks, I tried to buy in
He gave her money and tried to financially support her

I even did the unthinkable, I'm sorry for what I did to you
He apologizes for something really bad that he did to her

Take me back, if I was you and I did what I did, I probably would, I probably wouldn't
He's asking for her forgiveness and wondering if he would do the same if the roles were reversed

Keep our business to ourselves
He wants to keep their private matters private

The internet ain't doin' no help
He's concerned about what people might say online about their relationship

I know I shouldn't've never left
He regrets breaking up with her

But everything I did for us
He did a lot for the relationship

And us, I'm speakin' on my kids
He's talking about how their relationship affects their children

Thinkin' 'bout this shit I did
He's reflecting on the mistakes he made

Like how the hell I get myself involved in this bullshit?
He's questioning how he got caught up in the drama of the relationship

Married to the game, I can't make you my fiancé
He's committed to his career and can't devote himself entirely to her

Bad young boss bitch, treat her like Beyoncé
He wants to treat her like a queen, just as Jay-Z treats Beyoncé

But damn what them broads say, I fucked them all the first day
He doesn't care what other women say about him, he slept with them very quickly

And that's why you trippin' anyway, like when I fuck them I don't pay
He's implying that his infidelity is the reason for her negative behavior towards him

Even if we never speak again
He's prepared for the possibility of never communicating with her again

I'll make sure you're ridin' in the latest Benz
He wants to take care of her and provide her with luxurious things

Keep your business all apart if you can stay out of mine
He wants her to keep her personal matters separate from his

Bought a brand new Audemars but I done ran out of time
He bought a watch but doesn't have enough time to enjoy it
