## Song by Lil Baby featuring Lil Wayne

"**Forever**" is a song by American rapper Lil Baby featuring fellow American rapper Lil Wayne. It was released from the former's sophomore studio album, *My Turn*, on February 28, 2020.

## Critical reception

Kyann-Sian Williams of *NME* opined, "Lil Wayne reminds us why his drowsy, sloppy mumbling is rapidly going out of style; Lil Baby, on the other hand, storms through to save the song." *Exclaim!* called it a "standout" track alongside "Commercial" and "Consistent," adding of Lil Baby, "he's slippery, not riding beats so much as devouring them."

## Music video

The accompanying music video, directed by Jon J., was uploaded to Baby's YouTube channel on March 3, 2020. *Rolling Stone* detailed, "the rappers perform in front of a screen that displays fiery scenes and stormy weather. The pair appear with their squad and the visual features a Rolls Royce, an angel-winged woman, and money and bling are in abundance."

## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Intro]

*Who made this beat?*

*Twysted Genius, baby*

[Chorus: Lil Baby]

If I sell my soul, I'll take it back, I'm slime forever (Gimme that)

I put bust down on the whole gang, we gon' shine together

She got Rollies on her timepiece when she step out, she be flashin'

Whenever we get alone, I give her half and she get nasty

My jeans is special edition, Amiri send me these pants

And now everybody be tough, is he gangster or he just actin'?

Ain't got no card, don't do no fraud, seem like all of my bitches plastic

Know you n\*\*\*as don't want smoke, let's see who run it up the fastest

Keep that fire when I'm cold, I can't let them catch me lackin'

I don't know if they think I'm sweet because I'm rappin'

But fuck 'em, we get active (Get active)

[Verse 1: Lil Baby]

Wrap it, make sure they can't smell it

Drive too far? Don't matter, I'll mail it

Tryna steal swag, I see it, I smell it

Used to get mad, probably beat up my celly

Now I sell bags every day in my city

Ain't doin' no playin', when they come, be ready

I got murder on my mind like that lil' n\*\*\*a Melly (Free Melly)

Big boy rocks, stud the same size as Nelly (Ten karats)

Long as I live, I'ma get this cheddar

Ever since the bitch left, doin' lil' better

Which car I'ma drive? It depends on the weather

Rolls Royce truck pull up like, "Hello"

Pretty, tall, light skin, shake like Jell-O

If the bitch actin' bougie, I'ma take her to the ghetto

If I ain't smokin' Runtz, then it's probably Limoncello

You got a lil' boy, but you not on my level

Sell P's every day in the hood on my schedule

Young n\*\*\*a give a ho whole groove like Stella

Jam don't shake like that, that's Jell-O

Made a whole M on the road, then lay low

I'm a real boss in my hood, I got say-so

I was havin' choppas 'fore I heard about Dracos

Put me in the casket with a bust down halo, yeah

[Chorus: Lil Baby]

If I sell my soul, I'll take it back, I'm slime forever (Give me that)

I put bust down on the whole gang, we gon' shine together

She got Rollies on her timepiece when she step by, she be flashin'

Whenever we get alone, I give her half and she get nasty

My jeans is special edition, Amiri send me these pants

And now everybody be tough, is he gangster or he just actin'?

Ain't got no card, don't do no fraud, seem like all of my bitches plastic

Know you n\*\*\*as don't want smoke, let's see who run it up the fastest

Keep that fire when I'm cold, I can't let them catch me lackin'

I don't know if they think I'm sweet because I'm rappin'

But fuck 'em, we get active

[Verse 2: Lil Wayne]

Suavé (Huh), sippin' promethazine latte (Yeah)

Sticky-ass weed like Scotch tape (Yeah)

Big B's, call me Banye (Hoo)

Me and Lil Baby compadre (Yeah)

What these n\*\*\*as talkin' 'bout? Blasé (Huh)

Diamonds on me, that's pavé (Huh)

So bright, can't see, that's a blind date (Huh)

Marley and Fee trynna get high weight (Ooh)

I got M-O-L-L-Y weight

Only once the drugs are done

I feel like, "Where the hell is my grave?"

Heartbeat beatin' at a high rate

World stop spinnin', start to vibrate

It's a cold world, so my house in Miami still came with a fireplace

Pupils dilate, don't judge me

I'm with a sex slave, she like rough D

I got a text straight from the plug, he said "There's a drought"

I said "Funny", now we laughin'

And only time that we act, is when we act asses

N\*\*\*a, we active

So if you 'bout that life, get out that casket

[Chorus: Lil Baby, *Lil Wayne*, **Both**]

**If I sell my soul, I'll take it back, I'm slime forever** (*Ooh*, give me that)

I put bust down on the whole gang, **we gon' shine together** (*Yeah, yeah*)

She got Rollies on her timepiece when she step by, she be flashin'

**Whenever we get alone, I give her half and she get nasty**

My jeans is special edition, Amiri send me these pants

And now everybody be tough, **is he gangster or he just actin'?**

Ain't got no card, don't do no fraud, **seem like all of my bitches plastic**

Know you n\*\*\*as don't want smoke, let's see who **run it up the fastest**

Keep that fire when I'm cold, I can't let them catch me lackin'

I don't know if they think I'm sweet because I'm rappin'

**But fuck 'em, we get active**

[Outro: Lil Wayne]

Yeah, fuck 'em we get active, yeah

We can get active, yeah

This still got some active, yeah

Fuck 'em we get active, uh

Fuck 'em we get active
