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."
ROOF
DaBaby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, I tear the roof off up this bitch, nigga
My bitch super cute when she give me a smooch she make her lips bigger
That other shit out it ain't in, is it?
Baby came back with a tape brought the hits with him
All this wack-ass shit niggas puttin' out
Shit had me goin' to sleep while I'm drivin'
These niggas know what it is, don't even try him
They know he ain't goin' for shit, he get violent
Won't even wantin' a bitch, it's no problems
You already know how it get, you no Jonathan
Real nigga shit, real nigga way too lit
Want my name in all kinds of shit
She told me to go get some condoms and pull up
I told her I didn't have time for it (no)
I looked at my watch said it's time for the turn up (yeah)
They need it, these rap niggas burnt up (mm)
Killin' shit I got the work on
As soon as you put my shit on, it's a murder
Name of the game, come hate on a player
I got the whole world on my dick
You niggas better had tried to come fuck up that load
Let a nigga like me get that rich, bitch
Posted up with my lil' baddie
No her name ain't no damn Ashley
She slidin' down on it, she nasty (go)
Tellin' me that I'm her daddy, nigga
How they let 'em be cut like he cut
And he still learned to be all commercial and shit
Off the top 'cause bitch this really me
When you got it ain't no rehearsin' this shit
Steppin', I fucked up my toenail (step)
You fuck niggas don't wanna go there
You could me put me and a slut in a room together
I promise it's only one ho there (yeah)
Don't play with me I don't got time to play
Four times out of four got that fire
I ain't talkin' no lil' shit, this a .45, and hey
I hope don't nobody gon' die today
I'ma blow 'cause I gotta live
Take care of home, spoil all my kids
Even if I'm alone, stand on the biz
And whatever you want, it is what it is
Nigga, I done took my lick, I ain't trippin' 'bout that
You know a nigga ain't goin' like a bitch
Just dropped now I'm right back
Rockin' out sold out crowds, all the real niggas singin' my shit
Let them niggas tell you
Yeah, I tear the roof off up this bitch, nigga (go)
My bitch super cute when she give me a smooch she make her lips bigger
That other shit out it ain't in, is it?
Baby came back with a tape brought the hits with him
All this wack-ass shit niggas puttin' out
Shit had me goin' to sleep while I'm drivin'
DaBaby's "ROOF" is a song that is very focused on his career as a rapper, where he explicitly states that he is the real deal in the industry. There is an air of self-confidence and swagger that comes through in his lyrics, as he proclaims that he is so good that he could "tear the roof off up this bitch, nigga." He talks about how he is so popular that he is rocking sold-out crowds and how his music has brought him wealth and fame. He also brags about his love life and the fact that he has a beautiful woman who is devoted to him.
The song's opening line, "We got London on da Track," serves as a shoutout to the song's producer, London Holmes.

He admits to the fact that he has taken some time off from the game, but now he is back, and he is stronger and better than ever. He's warning any other rapper not to mess with him.
DaBaby's lyrics also give insight into his priorities. He values his children and his role as a father. A lot of his actions are geared towards providing for them and giving them everything he never had. He is also comfortable being alone, knowing that he has the beat and his music to keep him company.
Overall, "ROOF" presents DaBaby as a rapper who is laser-focused on his goals and is determined to achieve them. He is confident, unapologetic, and unafraid to take on anyone who stands in his way.
