Multiple mixtapes followed in the coming months, with 2017 offering Billion Dollar Baby, Baby Talk, Baby Talk 2, 3, and 4, as well as Back on My Baby Jesus Sh!t. 2018 continued in a similarly fashion with Baby Talk 5 and Blank Blank. In November of 2018, while shopping with his family at a Walmart in Huntersville, North Carolina, Kirk was approached by several men. An altercation broke out and gunfire ensued, resulting in the death of 19-year-old Jalyn Domonique Craig. Kirk, while involved in the dispute, did not admit to firing the fatal shots and was not charged with any crime connected to the incident. DaBaby got a label deal in 2019 when he signed on with Interscope.
The label quickly released Baby on Baby in March of that year, a full-length that was preceded by videos for singles "Suge" and "Walker, Texas Ranger."

DaBaby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been blind for a while now (while now)
I just got the key, they let me in, no ID
Doors openin' up for me and now I see
I've been blind for a while now
I've been blind for a while now (ayy, I've been blind, hey)
Tomatoes, mustard, mayonnaise
Nigga better catch up, catch up, catch up, catch up (yup, yup, yup)
Thankful that my head too hard for me to learn my lesson (my head too goddamn hard)
'Cause the way I did it worked out fine, ooh, God you blessed me (amen)
Probably ain't believe me
Know a nigga went through hell and back, now he finally on the TV (yeah)
Now a nigga don't even give a fuck no more, probably think it's easy
Let you know it ain't easy
I fuck her like a Bathing Ape, she run from the dick like a cheetah (go)
Two-tone AP watch on, never see me use it for a clock (tick-tock)
They see the way he fuckin' up the charts (hmm)
I wonder is he ever gon' stop?
And he charge a hundred-fifty for the verses now
Pay it or we never ever drop
They noticed that a nigga music versatile
Wonder if he ever goin' pop? (Go)
I just got the key, they let me in, no ID
Doors openin' up for me and now I see
I've been blind for a while now (blind)
I've been blind for a while now (blind)
Let's go
I just got the key, they let me in, no ID
Doors openin' up for me and now I see
I've been blind for a while now
I've been blind for a while now
Yeah
I've been quarantined, livin' with my kiddies
Tryna teach me how to cha-cha, ah
Fucked around, left the door open
Now they know that they can't stop me
Don't place me in no cop car
Yeah, I'm off probation, so it's gas I blow
I found love in my bitch, so I don't ask no more
I can really sit back, ain't gotta pass no dough
All of my brothers get loot, I don't got ride with pistols (yeah)
They found him dead, he dissed you (whoa)
PTDS, don't you tell me you lost me (woo)
Fuck all the rest, none them bitches are a nominee
Go to the head whenever dogs with me die
Got me riding 'til the sun come, blood on my white one's
I just got the key, they let me in, no ID
Doors openin' up for me and now I see
I've been blind for a while now (blind)
Yeah, I've been blind for a while now, yeah (let's go)
I just got the key, they let me in, no ID
Doors openin' up for me and now I see
I've been blind for a while now
I've been blind for a while now (yeah)
