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."
PICK UP
DaBaby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Wait a minute, who are you?)
(Ayo, K.I.d)
Pick up, pick up, pick up
Better watch his lil' bitch 'cause I'm up off the liquor
I been turnin' her down, she on go, tryna get up
Crack a smile at your hoe, she gon' fall out and shiver
Take the jet to New York like I'm Jigga (nyoom)
When you poppin', you know that come with paparazzi
I hate going outside, they all know I'm that nigga (go)
Slide on a nigga, they drive through like Wendy's (slide)
They all pray for the time of the day, I been busy
I turned her down, now that lil' nigga picky
She wasn't gettin' no money, I told her to miss me
Oh, y'all like takin' pictures? Think y'all niggas sissy
My lil' nigga been loyal, I threw him a fifty
I pull up in an Escalade, hop out in Timberlands
My bitch, she got finger wave hair like she Missy
Bitch, kiss me, kiss me, kiss me
I look better in person, lil' hoe, I get jiggy
Spend that lil' money, I ain't tryna save it
We ain't tripping on none of that, bitch, we got plenty, bread
Bread on your head, bitch, I'm Jiffy
Fuck around, drop a movie on niggas like 50
If Big Worm would've pulled up, I would've start hitting
If Deebo choked me out, bitch, I would've killed him, bitch
Pick up, pick up, pick up
Better watch his lil' bitch 'cause I'm up off the liquor
I been turnin' her down, she on go, tryna get up
Crack a smile at your hoe, she gon' fall out and shiver
Nigga going out sad 'bout the hoe, he a Skittle, sweet
Take the jet to New York like I'm Jigga (nyoom)
When you poppin', you know that come with paparazzi (wait a minute, who are you?)
I hate going outside, they all know I'm that nigga (go, Quavo)
Pick up, pick up, don't pick up the phone
I'm trappin', lil' nigga, don't pick up (brrt, brrt)
We been havin' drip and I'm puttin' that shit on
And I'm lightnin', I'm icin', I'm flooding my wrist up (ice)
Add it up, nigga, just put your lil' 'fit up (add it)
Yes, sir (yes, sir), put that lil' shit up (woo)
Bad bitch, look like she do sit-ups (bitch)
I bought the Lamborghini just to get up (go)
Keep talkin' that talk and I popped him, laughin'
Skrrt (skrrt), yeah, I'm ducking the traffic (woo)
I'm doing this shit in spectacular fashion (uh)
Straight out the Nawf and the chopper get tactic (woo)
Shoot at the floor (raow), I got him dancing, dancing
Shake that bitch out of your panties
I am the 'Cho ('Cho), what did I score? (Woo)
Hoe, you already know I'm the G.O.A.T. (G.O.A.T.)
Pick up, pick up, pick up
Better watch his lil' bitch 'cause I'm up off the liquor
I been turnin' her down, she on go, tryna get up
Crack a smile at your hoe, she gon' fall out and shiver
Nigga going out sad 'bout the hoe, he a Skittle, sweet
Take the jet to New York like I'm Jigga (nyoom)
When you poppin', you know that come with paparazzi
I hate going outside, they all know I'm that nigga (go)
The lyrics for DaBaby's song "PICK UP" contain a lot of bravado and references to his success and fame. The first verse finds him warning others about watching their significant other around him because he's been known to turn down advances but his charm might be too much for them to resist. He also takes shots at those who can't handle their relationships, referring to them as "Skittle sweet." DaBaby then drops references to Jay-Z and the paparazzi, both of which come with the territory of being a successful artist.
The chorus is repeated throughout the song and acts as a kind of hook that emphasizes the idea that people need to watch their partners around him. The second verse finds DaBaby rapping over a beat change and flowing with a more muted delivery. He continues to boast and make references to his fame and the money he's earned, even mentioning buying a Lamborghini just for the sake of it. The verse ends with DaBaby declaring himself the greatest of all time.
Overall, "PICK UP" is a song that's all about DaBaby's success and his reputation as a ladies' man. He's confident and unapologetic in his approach, making it clear that he's not afraid to take what he wants.
