DaBaby Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They said they want some of that raw shit (raw)
Turn it up, I'ma sit in the car, bitch (turn me up, Tahj Money)
If you turn off your lights, you gon' see me at night
Hoe, you know I'm a motherfucking star, bitch (bling)
How I know you ain't from where I'm from?
'Cause you know you can't go leave your gun in the car, dick (the fuck?)
Nigga like me walk down on your ass
Leave you stuck in the sand like a motherfuckin' starfish (let's go)

Where the Backwoods at? I'm tryna smoke some' (let's go)
STG, swear to God they don't want none' (hah)
STD, play with fire, I'ma burn something
Back to back in Scatpack doing donuts (skrrt)
Starting not to get head 'til I want some
She eat up the two-ball, the screwball like ice cream (ice cream)
Who you know wear designer with Nike? (me)
I smile and I show off my dimples, I'm icy (cheese)
Name a label that's fucking with my team (my team)
Somebody come give me a challenge, excite me (come on)
Nigga better stay 'way from that water
I let this bitch off, it's gon' hit you like lightning (hah, boom)
How the fuck they let Baby go platinum?
I thought he was wack and they didn't even like him (hah, bitch)
You can come see my plaque on my wall
Walkin' 'round in my drawers, talking shit in my castle (uh-huh)
Think he sick, wipe his nose, I'm a nappy (sick)
Take his bitch, that's my hoe, I'm her daddy (her dad)
Ship the shit to your door, send the addy (your door)
Mix it in with the low, doesn't matter (uh, low)
Nigga know I was having that remix (yeah)
I play pussy and burn you, that's defense (bitch)
Baby pull out my dick and she eat it
She like how I be kicking that street shit
That's your boy, he aight, he ain't me, bitch (bitch)
Check me out on your screen, BET, bitch (yeah)

I'm strapped up with that thang in LA (uh, huh?)
I hop off the plane and I skate
She 'bout to come bring me some brain, that's my bae (my bae)
I can't go back and forth with a hoe
Like a bitch who gon' do everything that I say (shh, Quavo)

Say they want some of that trap talk (trap)
I get a brick, let it moonwalk (brick)
The K shoot silent, but it still talk (rrah)
Smoke with the pilot in the skybox (uh)
The Culinan came with a umbrella (skrrt)
Baguettes, no prongs, they stayin' together (ice)
I lift my arm and change the weather (woo)
Turn a bitch from nothing to a Cinderella (bad, go)

They said they want some of that raw shit (raw)
Turn it up, I'ma sit in the car, bitch (turn me up)
If you turn off your lights, you gon' see me at night

Metal on me all time (brr)
Beefing with metal detectors and magnets (brr)
Bitch, I'm with 'Set and DaBaby
Hit the racetrack just to see who the fastest (skrrt)

Don't make us put your bitch ass in a casket (don't)
We wrapping up plastic actually

Overall Meaning

The song "RAW SHIT" by DaBaby is full of attitude and bravado, typical of his style. The song has three verses, with DaBaby leading and two other rappers, Takeoff and Quavo, making appearances. The chorus repeats the phrase "They said they want some of that raw shit" while DaBaby raps about his life, his attitude, and his skills. In the first verse, he dismisses people who pretend to be from his area but forget to bring their guns with them. He also talks about his success in the music industry and how he has proved his doubters wrong. The second verse is more explicit, with DaBaby talking about sex and drugs. The third verse re-inforces his toughness and his willingness to fight, with Takeoff and Quavo joining him to provide additional references to their wealth and power.


The lyrics, while not exactly profound, capture the confident, swaggering image that DaBaby has cultivated since his entry into the music world. Often criticized for being too straightforward, DaBaby's lyrics in "RAW SHIT" are unapologetic and refreshingly direct. The song bucks the trend of modern hip hop in which beats and rhythms have overtaken lyrical content. Instead, DaBaby uses his words to tell a story, to talk about his life, and to brag about his achievements.
