[Intro] Eish Too deep I paid I paid for it [Verse 1] You said “ride or die” in the backseat Cheap cologne, black hoodie, late taxis I covered you, even when they blamed me Smiled in the dock, but it cut me nasty All those secrets sitting heavy on my chest You were sleeping while I never really rest Cold eyes when the money got less Funny how your promise came second to a text [Pre-Chorus] Who gon’ stay When the smoke blow out? (yeah) If I fall today Will you hold me down? Every favor, every scar, every story Tell me what’s the price of loyalty? [Chorus] What’s the price of my loyalty? Paid in late nights, silence, bleeding softly You took all that love like it’s royalty Left me broke but I kept the receipts If my heart is the currency Why I’m standing here empty at the till, lonely? Tell me what’s the price of loyalty ’Cause I paid, I paid, I paid [Verse 2] You called “brother” when you needed quick cash I was first call every time life crashed Shared my plate, you were eating from the stash Now it’s “new friends” every night, new flash Mama said “child, be careful who you trust” Diamonds fake, turn green when they touch rust You disappeared when my name hit the dust Guess your love had a line, and it reads: “plus funds” [Pre-Chorus] Who gon’ stay When the roof caves in? (hey) If I lose it all Will you still come in? Every favor, every scar, every story Tell me what’s the price of loyalty? [Chorus] What’s the price of my loyalty? Paid in late nights, silence, bleeding softly You took all that love like it’s royalty Left me broke but I kept the receipts If my heart is the currency Why I’m standing here empty at the till, lonely? Tell me what’s the price of loyalty ’Cause I paid, I paid, I paid [Bridge] Maybe I’m done signing checks with my soul (ooh) Done buying love that just leaves when it’s cold If you stay when the table is bare, then you’re gold If you stay when the table is bare, then you’re gold (yeah) [Chorus] What’s the price of my loyalty? Paid in late nights, silence, bleeding softly You took all that love like it’s royalty Left me broke but I kept the receipts If my heart is the currency I will save it for the ones who stay and hold me Now I name the price of loyalty If it costs my peace, it’s too expensive for me
