INTRO
DaBaby Lyrics

Thinkin' 'bout my grandmama and shit
I'm reminiscing about my grandmother and other things

I got the number one record, they acknowledged the jit (aye, yo, Kid)
My single is currently the number one song in the country, and people are recognizing my talent

They goin' crazy when they play it, head bobbin' and shit
People are vibing to my music and enjoying it

And I'm just somewhere fucked up thinkin' 'bout my father and shit
Despite my success, I'm struggling mentally because I'm thinking about my deceased father

They found him dead a couple days before I started tour
My father passed away just before I went on tour

Same day I flew back to the city from Miami
I immediately returned home from Miami to mourn the loss of my father

I was out there with the family
I was in Miami with my family prior to my father's passing

Just lookin' at my daughter
My child reminds me of my father

Thinkin' to myself like, "Damn, my baby look just like my daddy"
My child strongly resembles my father, whom I recently lost

Same time I got the news, my shit went number one, that's fucked up
My song became a hit at the same time as my father's passing, which is bittersweet

That shit there was confusin', a lil' bit, you know I flew in with the stick
The situation is a bit confusing, and I came home with a gun for my safety

Okay, like let me know what's up before I lose it in this bitch
Please keep me informed of what's going on so I don't lose control of my emotions

And everybody tryna talk, I ain't tryna talk, I'm tryna click
People are trying to talk to me, but I just want to get things done

I'm tryna send somebody wit' him
I want someone to accompany my father in the afterlife

Somebody let me know what's happenin'
I want to know what's happening with the situation and my father's passing

My last name K-I-R-K, Kirk
My last name is Kirk

You know how I rock behind my daddy
I have always supported my father and his legacy

You know I never gave a fuck about the world, just about my family
My priority has always been my family, not fame or wealth

How the fuck I make it to the top same day I lost the nigga that had me?
It's crazy that I became successful on the same day I lost the person who supported and encouraged me the most

How a nigga perform on BET and a year ago couldn't afford a sandwich?
It's amazing how I went from being broke and hungry to performing on a major stage

I had to move in with TG when I went broke movin' out to Cali
I had to move in with a friend when I was broke and moved to California

What you know you smilin' every day for all your fans, actin' like you happy?
People act like I'm happy all the time for my fans, but really I'm struggling internally

I spent a hundred thousand layin' my daddy to rest, but I ain't braggin'
I paid a lot of money for my father's funeral, but I'm not trying to show off about it

I got some questions, I'm a die about respect if I don't get answers
I have some unanswered questions about my father's death, and I won't give up until I find out the truth

My mama stood up in that chair, took it like a G when she had cancer
My mother showed strength and courage when she battled cancer

My brother be thinkin' that we don't love him and let him struggle like we ain't family
My brother feels like we don't care about him and that we've left him to struggle alone, despite being family

Like I won't give up all I got to see you happy, nigga
I'm willing to sacrifice everything I have to make my brother happy

We shocked the world, everybody know what's happenin', nigga
Our success has surprised everyone and made us famous

I'm still Lil' Jon Jon, my song, it just went platinum, nigga
Despite my success, I'm still the same person and my song has achieved platinum status

We on our own time, let's go move out to Cali, nigga
We don't need to follow anyone else's schedule, let's move to California

Put the kids in homeschool, let's go get us a mansion, nigga
We can homeschool our children and live in a luxurious mansion

Let's raise our kids right, let's watch the shit we teach 'em, nigga
We will educate and guide our children to be the best versions of themselves

Let's start a business for you so they can't say that you leechin', nigga
We'll start a business for my brother so that people can't accuse him of living off of me

How I know I'm the chosen one, 'cause sometimes when I be speakin', nigga
I feel like I'm meant for greatness because of the impact my words have on people

Like on this song, I ain't rappin', I'm preachin', nigga
I'm not just rapping, I'm sharing an important message and preaching

If I love you, then I need ya (let's go)
If I love you, then I depend on you and you're important to me

I fuck with you like Martin fuck with Gina (uh)
I have a strong bond and connection with you like Martin and Gina from the TV show Martin

We family like we Venus and Serena (hey)
We are a tight-knit family, like sisters Venus and Serena Williams

Let's go get married like we thank God and Kanisha (okay)
Let's get married in the same way that we admire God and Kanisha

Don't give a fuck about the world, just 'bout my people (facts)
I don't care about fame or success, just about my loved ones and family

I don't care what the fuck they told you, we ain't equal (uh uh)
Don't believe what others say, we are not on the same level

Niggas ain't cut from the same cloth, these niggas see-through (aye)
People are not the same and some are fake or disingenuous

And I be too busy doin' me to see what he do, nigga
I'm too focused on myself to pay attention to what others are doing

Yeah, verse two, that lil' nigga from the other side (uh-huh)
In the second verse, I'm representing for the people from my hometown

And I do it myself, whenever I ride, you know that my brothers ride (okay)
I'm independent but my brothers have my back no matter what

And I still got a lotta shit on my mind that I can't undecide (yeah, yeah)
There are a lot of things on my mind that I'm struggling to decide on

Got me ready to slide
I'm ready to take action and confront the situation

Feelin' like Doe Boy when his brother died (Boyz n the Hood)
I feel like Doe Boy from the movie Boyz n the Hood when his brother died

You know how I step, you know how I rep
You know how I carry myself and represent myself

You know about Baby, nigga (you know about Baby)
People are familiar with me and my music persona

You know how I'm comin' back for that cross if you ever play me, nigga (get back)
If someone disrespects me or crosses me, I will come back with vengeance

You know how I got it up out the mud and turned it to gravy nigga (huh)
You know how I came from nothing and made it big

And hit the rap game like crack cocaine in the '80s, nigga
I made a big impact on the rap game, like crack cocaine did in the 1980s

Fuck you niggas talkin' 'bout, bruh?
I don't care what others are saying behind my back

Like (oh my God, oh)
This is me scoffing at what other people are saying

Look (oh my God)
I'm emphasizing my point with surprise

Look, man
Listen up

Baby on Baby, now that's Baby on Baby
I'm referring to my album and the success it's had

God is great (God is great)
I'm giving thanks to God

Big dawg, Baby (he goin' Baby on Baby on Baby, huh)
I'm establishing myself as a big shot in the music industry

Yeah, rest in peace to my daddy
I'm paying my respects to my deceased father

Rest in peace to my grandma
I'm also paying respects to my deceased grandmother

Let's go
Let's move forward

I don't care what the fuck they told you, we ain't equal (uh-uh)
I'm reiterating the point that we are not on the same level as others believe

Uh-huh
Affirmative

Okay, yeah
Okay, let's move on
