Lil Baby has penned a multitude of songs at this point, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he remembers the lyrics to all of them.
On Tuesday’s (April 20) episode of Atlanta’s Jewelry Unlimited’s TikTok rapper series called Can Artists Finish Their Own Lyrics, Baby drew blanks when it came to his track, “I’m Straight,” from his 2018 album Harder Than Ever. The premise of the series is that rhymers have to finish the bars of their own songs in exchange for $1,000 off of their purchase and it doesn’t look like the ATL-bred artist received the discount.
The clip begins with the lyrics: “I’m cool on the love and the high-fives/You niggas can’t keep up with my guys.”
When it was time for Lil Baby to continue, he paused a bit, seemingly unable to remember the lines that came next. The host of the series repeats the lyrics, now including the next two bars: “You can’t get all this drip in a lifetime/I got out and ran it up at the right time.”
The series’ host then jumps a few lyrics and recites a line name-dropping Wafi Lalani, owner of Jewelry Unlimited. “Went to Wafi, I told ’em I want to shine” is what Baby raps on the song. The Quality Control Music rapper appears to have a lightbulb moment when that particular bar is mentioned, but he still doesn’t seem to remember the remaining lyrics.
Lil Baby repeats the aforementioned bar along with a portion of the succeeding lyric: “Went to Wafi, I told ’em I want to shine/Then the coupe quarter million.” However, he then throws in the towel.
“That’s hard… Damn, I forgot,” Baby says. “You ain’t gotta make it easy,” he replies to the host. Later adding, “That was a good one. I ain’t gon’ lie. That was a good one. Aight, gimme another one.”
Before Baby, 42 Dugg and Moneybagg Yo both participated in the series. Dugg was given “We Paid,” which features Lil Baby, while Bagg had to recite “Time Today.”
Although Lil Baby stumbled on his three-year-old lyrics, he’ll likely be releasing some new ones soon. Last month, during an interview with MTV News, the 4 Pockets Full CEO revealed that an album with Lil Durk, tentatively titled, The Voice of the Hero, is coming soon. Baby also shared that his Lamborghini Boys mixtape, first teased in December of 2019, is still a go.

Drama recently erupted at an introductory rite in Garsen community after the bride’s mother made away with the bride price paid by her in-laws.
The bride’s mother, Anne Maweni, reportedly feared her kinsmen would short-change her and left the ceremony with the dowry amounting to Sh170,000 (N650,000).
The ceremony was underway in Tana River County, Kenya, when family members noticed Maweni, the bride’s mother, was no longer present.
“During the ceremony, she is the one who served the guests and elders food but did not join them on the table. Nobody knew what time she left,” said Maweni’s sister Veronica Meilu.
Efforts to reach her on phone were futile as she had switched it off.
Maweni later texted her sister with another number asking her to oversee the remainder of the ceremony.
It was then that the elders and in-laws who had gathered for the ceremony realized that something was amiss.
“I was not aware of my sister’s plans, but here I was being put to task, to explain how we stole the dowry and where my sister was,” said Meilu.
As the leaders were contemplating reporting the “heist” to the police, Maweni called to explain why she took off.
“She asked me to put the phone on loudspeaker before revealing that the dowry ‘theft’ was a plan she had hatched with the son-in-law before the ceremony,” Ms Meilu said.
Maweni said that they switched the bag containing money with one that had wrappers.
“Yes, we counted the money together but we exchanged the bag containing money with that holding wrappers because the elders are not deserving of any gains from my daughter,” Anne Maweni said on phone.
It also emerged that it was the son-in-law who left the ceremony with the bride price.
Maweni defended her actions, recalling how her kinsmen abandoned her when her husband died, leaving her with two children, a five-year-old girl, and a two-year-old boy.
“After the demise of my husband, you sent me away with nothing but my daughter. You took my son away, and he later died in your hands. Then, you said that the community had no use for a girl child,” she told the elders on phone.
I have left you with female wrappers to wear since you did not stand for a widow, at her time of need,” she said.
Ms Maweni, however, promised to send part of the dowry money to only one elder for his support during her tribulations and also standing in for her daughter’s marriage ceremony.
“Mzee Bajila, you are like a father to me and witnessed the atrocities against me. You fought for me in vain. So only you, deserve a portion of this money,” she said and hung up.
