“Close Friends,” Drip Harder, Lil Baby (2018)
Atlanta native, Lil Baby was birthed in the rap industry through a crew that was on top of the world when he got in the game. Probably considered the most popular rapper in the world right now, one thing that distinguishes him is his ability to make songs that are in the language of millennials and Gen Zers. He has found how to communicate “falling in love” in a way that does not lessen his street cred and still authentic to the sentiment that he wants to share.
“We started off as close friends (Close friends), somehow you turned into my girlfriend (My girlfriend).
We used to tell each other everything (Everything), I even went and bought her diamond rings, matching earrings.”
“I think I loved you ‘fore I knew you, know we be f**kin’ ‘fore I screwed you
Made a promise I won’t use you, play my cards right, I won’t lose you.”
