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."
Really
DaBaby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's go
They wanna know if he can rap, I tell 'em, "Really"
Tell my bitches, "Call me Meek" 'cause I done finally got a milli' (let's go)
You know how bitches like to act when they get pretty
Like to turn a nigga down, that's how I act when I get jiggy
Fuck around and tell her, "No," I wanna fuck the bitch that's with ya (huh?)
Smoke a blunt, don't do no other drugs, turn up, go get some liquor
And I know I look good, so take your picture, nigga
Ayy, bae, I know that I look good, you ain't gotta cap
It ain't my birthday, but I wish a nigga would, I ain't gotta rap
Blow out a candle on her booty, that's that cake, she make it clap
She make it shake, we at the shack, she tryna break a nigga's back
Yeah, I skipped class, when I was a jit with no hall pass (dropped)
And I'll drop dick, I pick it up, then I haul ass
She say she wanna fuck, she don't wanna take a picture (okay)
Her pussy NyQuil, I go to sleep every time I hit her
Don't know the password, so that ain't me if they respond on my Twitter
I got that hot shit, these niggas gotta go rewind it to hear it
They know I pop shit, I'll pop a nigga right now, they know I'm with it
And I only fuck with bitches if they're pretty
They wanna know if he can rap, I tell 'em, "Really"
Tell my bitches, "Call me Meek" 'cause I done finally got a milli' (let's go)
You know how bitches like to act when they get pretty
Like to turn a nigga down, that's how I act when I get jiggy
Fuck around and tell her, "No," I wanna fuck the bitch that's with ya (huh?)
We out of Backwoods, shit, fuck it, get a Swisher
Smoke a blunt, don't do no other drugs, turn up, go get some liquor
And I know I look good, so take your picture
It's 4X, nigga
They wanna know if he can spit for real (uh)
He think I'm cappin', he think I can't get him killed for real (okay)
Ayy, try your luck, I'll drop some chip and get you zipped for real (ayy, get him outta here)
A couple racks ain't shit, bitch, I signed for a couple mil' (on gang)
Oh, really?
I send shit up like I popped a wheelie
Got rich like Roddy, I stood on that block like Meek Milly (rich)
Red rag, blue faces, you know my pockets Crippin'
I pop tags and drop bags, you play they poppa, nigga (ayy, bitch)
All my neighbors white folks, they be thinkin' I'm a dealer
It's 4X, I kill the beat 'cause I signed to a killer
And I know she want me 'cause I'm a young rich nigga
And I can't beef with you if you can't show me six figures, on gang
They wanna know if he can rap, I tell 'em, "Really"
Tell my bitches, "Call me Meek" 'cause I done finally got a milli' (let's go)
You know how bitches like to act when they get pretty
Like to turn a nigga down, that's how I act when I get jiggy
Fuck around and tell her, "No," I wanna fuck the bitch that's with ya (huh?)
We out of Backwoods, shit, fuck it, get a Swisher
Smoke a blunt, don't do no other drugs, turn up, go get some liquor
And I know I look good, so take your picture, nigga
The song "Really" by DaBaby, featuring producer SethInTheKitchen, is a braggadocious track where DaBaby flaunts his wealth, success, and sexual prowess. He addresses those who doubt his rapping skills and responds with an assertive "Really", affirming his ability. He compares his financial status to that of Meek Mill and boasts about how he doesn't need to rap to impress women, as they are drawn to him naturally. Additionally, he speaks about his sexual encounters, choosing to only engage with attractive partners and often leaving them unsatisfied.
DaBaby's lyrics are filled with clever wordplay, a trait that has made him a standout in the current rap landscape. He plays with the word "jiggy", using it both as a reference to his ability to impress women and as a homophone for its slang meaning of being crazy or wild. He also uses witty metaphors and comparisons, such as comparing the impact of his raps to popping wheelies on a bike, and comparing his white neighbors' suspicion of him to assuming that he must be a dealer.
The song's production is minimal but effective, allowing DaBaby's commanding voice to dominate the track. The chorus and bridge combine soulful backing vocals with a thumping bassline, creating a catchy and memorable hook. "Really" is a quintessential example of DaBaby's signature style of blunt and charismatic lyrics combined with hard-hitting beats.
