Lil Baby – Try To Love Lyrics
Lil Baby gets candid about the scars love leaves behind on Try To Love, the standout confessional from his surprise compilation THE LEAK$, out on November 5, 2025 via Quality Control Music, and it lands like a voice note you send at 3 a.m., raw and real, questioning why the heart keeps reaching anyway.
Try To Love Lyrics by Lil Baby
[Chorus]
Thought I found love in Chicago
But she didn’t hit me back in the morrow
I guess all those words were just hollow
Just hollow words
Thought I found love in Atlanta
Until she went ghost like a Phantom
I don’t know why I try to love, to love, yeah
[Verse]
I ain’t settlin’ for nothin’ less, I know what I’m worth (I swear)
Who the fuck came up with that lie, sayin’ words don’t hurt?
I’m only bowin’ down to the highest, ain’t scared of nothin’ on this Earth
I’m from a life of sin, we gettin’ it in and still go to church
Tryna come from underneath this pain, seem like the Percs make it worse
This shit a dirty game, you bound to lose if you don’t shoot first
I told my mama to quit her 9-to-5, I’m gon’ make it work
Me and brodie havin’ real talk, so deep that a tеar drop

Me and her just got a trauma bond, I thought it was real love
No more livin’ in a dark spot, I’m startin’ to feel good
Got a compound in the suburbs now, but, nigga, I’m still hood
Long as I’m alive, I’m puttin’ it down, I ain’t never gon’ give up
Make sure everything intact, this shit too big for a hiccup
Ain’t no slip-ups
Soon as you get out the plane, there’s a greeter waitin’ for you
They gon’ take you to my driver, he gon’ bring you to the spot
Got security waitin’ for you, he gon’ let you in the house
I’ma be there in a minute, I’m somewhere knockin’ money down
When I walk in, she already ready for me
I don’t care what time she gettin’ up, she ain’t never that sleep
She don’t do too much, she understand the life of a G
I appreciate it, that’s why she keep the latest
I’ll let her keep my baby
[Chorus]
Thought I found love in Chicago
But she didn’t hit me back in the morrow
I guess all those words were just hollow
Just hollow words
Thought I found love in Atlanta
Until she went ghost like a Phantom
I don’t know why I try to love, to love, yeah
[Outro]
Guess all those words were just hollow
Just hollow words
And I don’t know why I try to
