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."

Oh you thought I was coming on some motherfuckin' (that aint DaBaby, that's my baby)
Some lover boy shit huh
That's what the fuck you thought I was bout to do (I'm not coming on that lover boy shit)
Some of that lover boy shit (nah, nah, not this time, nah)
That's how you thought I was coming (fuck that)
That's what you thought huh (look fuck that)
Turn up
Brr
My trap phone jumpin' like a beeper, thumpin' like a speaker
Cutting pretty hoes off (huh)
I always been a loner I don't really need 'em
Tryin' not to doze off (tryin' not to doze)
Ain't been getting sleep, I practice what I'm preachin'
If I ever go pull up to my old school, bet I can fuck on all my teachers
I'm the fuckin' goat, these motherfuckers know it
This ain't spoken word, but I'm a fuckin' poet
This a forty, if I up it I'ma blow it
Every song I got I blank
I see these niggas hatin' on the internet
But I don't never see them at the bank (hey)
I'm at the counter takin' out some rap money
The teller tell me that I act funny
I'm going shoppin' with the trap money
I put that shit on and I drip
I tried to sneak in that bitch with the rod
My shirt was too tight it ain't cover the clip
I'm getting high on the low with yo bitch (high)
Drinkin' hen while I drive I'm control the whip (skrrt, damn)
I wouldn't try this at home (nah), I got on take a nigga bitch cologne (bitch)
Don't try to pull out ya picture phone (huh)
Kiss on this dick ain't no mistletoe (mwah)
You know I'm the shit I can switch a hoe (the shit)
Get rid of a bitch, I don't miss a hoe (yeah)
Forget it, you blew it, it's over (ha)
All hunnids they blue like they rollin' (for real)
Did my dance and I took ya lil' hoe (hoe)
She like how I be moving my shoulders (yeah)
You know how the boy do it, I'm posted
I keep that shit low key I still got that OG (huh)
And he gon' try to cap for his partnas
Don't know nothin' 'bout me, but act like he know me (huh)
And I might catch a flight to LA
Just to go back (flight) and shoot my shot like I'm Kobe (swish)
Then I go catch a flight back to Charlotte
And get off the load by my muhfuckin' lonely
'Cause my (brr)
My trap phone jumpin' like a beeper, thumpin' like a speaker (jump)
Cutting pretty hoes off (huh)

You kilt that shit
The beginning of DaBaby's hit song "Beeper" starts with a warning to listeners that he will not be singing any love songs. The rapper quickly transitions into his usual flow about his trap phone, which is jumping like a beeper and thumping like a speaker. DaBaby is known for his unique sound and lyrics, and this song is not an exception. He raps about cutting pretty girls off, being a loner, and not needing anyone to succeed. He has worked hard to practice what he preaches, which is evident from his lack of sleep in the song. DaBaby also asserts his dominance in the rap game by calling himself the goat and claiming that everyone knows it.
Throughout the song, DaBaby showcases his confidence and ability to control the narrative. He brags about being able to seduce his old teachers and going out to spend his rap money while others hate on him on the internet. He also addresses his haters' jealousy by stating that they are never seen at the bank.
Interestingly, the song addresses the use of beepers, an outdated piece of technology. This reference serves as a nod to hip hop's past and DaBaby's ability to pay homage to the genre's history while carving out his own unique sound. The song also includes clever wordplay, such as DaBaby claiming he is not on "that lover boy shit," followed by a reference to a woman's "mist(le)toe" kiss on his penis.
Overall, "Beeper" is a testament to DaBaby's confidence and unique take on trap music.
