Loyalty cost me more than these diamonds and chains
More than long nights, more than tears and pain
I stayed ten toes when the ground got weak
Held folks down who was plottin' on me
Gave my last dollar, gave my last ride
Gave real love, got fake on the other side
Every hand I shook had a blade tucked in
Now I look at trust like a place I ain't been
I wore my heart like a name on a shirt
Now I keep it buried where nobody can work
A man don't turn cold for no reason at all
Usually somebody he loved let him fall
Loyalty cost me more than love ever did
Gave my all to folks who never gave me shit
Now I keep my heart tucked under my ribs
'Cause loyalty cost me more than love ever did
Had family go missin' when the money got low
Had friends turn strange when the doors got closed
Had women say forever with one eye on the exit
That kind of pain make a real one reckless
I was pourin' from a cup that was already cracked
Givin' second chances I should've never gave back
Now if I move different, don't take it wrong
I just learned hard lessons from holdin' on too long
I wore my heart like a name on a shirt
Now I keep it buried where nobody can work
A man don't turn cold for no reason at all
Usually somebody he loved let him fall
Loyalty cost me more than love ever did
Gave my all to folks who never gave me shit
Now I keep my heart tucked under my ribs
'Cause loyalty cost me more than love ever did
Ain't no refund for the nights I lost
Ain't no discount on that kind of cost
You can smile in my face, but I already know
The ones cut deepest be the ones you hold close
Loyalty cost me more than love ever did
Gave my all to folks who never gave me shit
Now I keep my heart tucked under my ribs
'Cause loyalty cost me more than love ever did
