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."

Uh uh
Man, fuck all that talking, my nigga let's link
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Drop your location, my nigga let's meet
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Smoke I want all of that, bitch where the beef?
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Ain't tryna drop by, I'ma hop out on feet
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Stop making songs, get off that phone
Bring your ass on, it's been too long
I got a hunnid round drum on that K
I shoot at niggas, I don't shoot at homes
Why that boy hating? 'Cause that nigga pussy
Send me a stepper, don't send me no rookie
You hoe niggas lucky that I'm good at rapping
'Cause I would've been came and seen 'bout that capping
'Cause I would've been came and seen 'bout that action
If that's how he feel he gon' stand on it
I'm upping as soon as my hand on it
This bitch a guitar, I'ma jam on it
Shoot up his car and then stand on it
Come bring your hoe-ass outside
My niggas know I'ma ride
If I say it's a go they gone slide
Man, fuck all that talking, my nigga let's link
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Drop your location, my nigga let's meet
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Smoke I want all of that, bitch where the beef?
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Ain't tryna drop by, I'ma hop out on feet
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Bring your ass on bitch I'm waiting
Matter fact bitch I'm getting impatient
I make your ass do the race
Chase your ass down like I'm Jason
I done got tired of your bitch ass
I put that rod on your bitch ass
I heard you was giving out smoke
Well I'ma get high on your bitch ass
I swear to God I'ma on his ass
As soon as you see me it's up
Why you think you ain't see me get touched
'Cause these niggas ain't really with that
My niggas can't wait to fix that
We come kick the door at your kickback
Shoot at you and your bros 'til it click-clack
Then go fuck on your hoe for some get-back
Man, fuck all that talking, my nigga let's link
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Drop your location, my nigga let's meet
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Smoke I want all of that, bitch where the beef?
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Ain't tryna drop by, I'ma hop out on feet
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Bring your bitch ass up the street
Bring your bitch ass up the street
The lyrics of Up The Street by DaBaby are a typical representation of his style of rap, which is a mix of threatening, aggressive and explicit language. The first verse of the song urges the listener to come over so that the rapper can talk to him directly instead of talking on the phone or through songs. He challenges him to bring himself and his girlfriend or any other beef he is carrying and gives the specific instruction to bring his "bitch ass up the street". He drops his own location for them to meet and asks for some smoke as well. He is not interested in dropping by, instead, he is going to hop out on feet. The second verse is even more direct and aggressive as the rapper urges the person he is addressing to stop talking and bring his a*s on. He talks about his capability to shoot at people he doesn't like, and how he would have already done that if he wasn't good at rapping. He encourages the person he is addressing to stand on his feelings if that is how he really feels. He boasts about his own skills and warns that if he says it's a go, his niggas are going to slide.
The central message of the song is the rapper's tendency towards violence and the consequences if anyone stands in his way. The lyrics are not meant to be taken literally and beyond the context of hip-hop culture. They serve as a representation of the rapper's street credibility and the typical topics that young rappers use to establish their persona in the rap game. DaBaby's abrasive style of rap has attracted a lot of controversy due to his explicit lyrics and videos, but it has also made him one of the most successful acts in the game.

I shoot at niggas, I don't shoot at homes
I only shoot at people, not houses
Why that boy hating? 'Cause that nigga pussy
I wonder why that person is hating on me, maybe it's because they're weak
Send me a stepper, don't send me no rookie

If that's how he feel he gon' stand on it
If someone is going to talk bad about me, they better be prepared to stand by their words
I'm upping as soon as my hand on it
I'm ready to fight or shoot as soon as I have a weapon
This bitch a guitar, I'ma jam on it
I'm comparing my gun to a guitar and I plan on playing it
Shoot up his car and then stand on it
I'm going to shoot at someone's car and then stand over it in a show of dominance
Come bring your hoe-ass outside
Come out of your house and confront me
My niggas know I'ma ride
My friends know that I'm always ready to fight

If I give the word, my friends will be ready to attack
Bring your ass on bitch I'm waiting
Hurry up and come here, I'm impatient
Matter fact bitch I'm getting impatient
I'm becoming even more impatient as time passes
I make your ass do the race
I'll make you run away from me in fear
Chase your ass down like I'm Jason
I will chase you down relentlessly like the character Jason in the horror movie Friday the 13th
I done got tired of your bitch ass
I'm fed up with your behavior and attitude
I put that rod on your bitch ass
I have a gun and I'm prepared to use it against you
I heard you was giving out smoke
I heard you're trying to start trouble
Well I'ma get high on your bitch ass
I'm going to retaliate against you and enjoy doing it
I swear to God I'ma on his ass
I promise to confront and attack him
As soon as you see me it's up
As soon as you see me, trouble will start
Why you think you ain't see me get touched
You haven't seen me get hurt because I'm always ready to defend myself
'Cause these niggas ain't really with that
Most people aren't actually prepared to fight or cause trouble
My niggas can't wait to fix that
My friends are eager to cause trouble and fight
We come kick the door at your kickback
We'll invade your party or gathering and cause trouble
Shoot at you and your bros 'til it click-clack
We'll keep shooting at you and your friends until our guns run out of ammo
Then go fuck on your hoe for some get-back
After causing trouble and violence, we'll have sex with your girlfriend or someone you care about to add insult to injury
