DaBaby & Nicki Minaj Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ayy, ayy, Baby Jesus
Oh, you got a new name now
(Baby Jesus?)
DaBaby
(Your name's not Baby Jesus?)
So you don't go by Baby Jesus no more?
Naw, naw, naw, naw
(So you mean to tell me you not Baby Jesus?)
DaBaby
DaBaby?
DaBaby
(JStacks)

Look, DaBaby, baby, baby, baby
Just call me DaBaby, but leave out the Jesus
I turned all them fuck niggas into believers
Just switched up my name for political reasons
I'm on probation, but still keep a heater
My little bitch she love me, she say I'm a cheater
I just made a play for five pounds of the OG
You got it for low, but I got this shit cheaper
I just be chillin', probably with my nieces
Or in a rental, duckin', dodgin' polices
Or at the condo, I just had me a threesome
They makin' dinner, but I probably won't eat it
Yeah, you know that I'm hittin' your sister (what else?)
And you know that your bitch on my Insta'
It can go down in the DM like Yo Gotti
Fuck her tonight and make you want to kill her
I just found out that this bitch is a nympho
I broke her off, she said she can't wait to get more
I let her have it, put her face in the pillow (ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy)
And end up rappin' 'bout the shit on my intro
And I keep on findin' myself feelin' bad for my enemies




Fuck all this shit, nigga, pass me the Hennessy
Until they touch me, shit, let 'em keep hatin'
I can't entertain it, it's bad for my energy (ayy)

Oh, okay, okay
So I, I get it, I get it
You just took the Jesus off the back of your name
(Boy, that boy cold, motherfucker)
And the you put the D-A in front of the baby
(That nigga cold)
DaBaby
(That nigga named DaBaby)
DaBaby
That nigga boy
DaBaby
(Boy, you could listen to that shit in church
Now boy, they can't tell you nothin')
It's, it's official
DaBaby, DaBaby, DaBaby, DaBaby
(Hey grandma, grandma, his name ain't Baby Jesus no more)
Oh, yeah
(Grandma, grandma)
DaBaby (ayy)

Overall Meaning

The song “DaBaby” is a collaboration between rappers DaBaby and Nicki Minaj. In this song, DaBaby starts by explaining his nickname and how he changed his name for “political reasons”. He further talks about his life on probation and how he constantly carries a gun for protection. DaBaby visits his nieces, dodges police, and engages in a threesome with two women while his other lady cooks dinner for him. He raps about his sexual encounters, including him hooking up with girls through Instagram DMs, and he brags about making his enemies feel bad. Nicki Minaj comes into the song with a few lines in the end, showing admiration for DaBaby’s versatility and praising him for changing his stage name for business reasons.


The lyrics of this song have been interpreted in different ways, with some people suggesting that the line “I just be chillin', probably with my nieces” is meant to be a nod to critics who accused him of being abusive to his daughter, which he denied. People also picked out the line “I just found out that this bitch is a nympho, I broke her off, she said she can’t wait to get more” as misogynistic, while some view it as just typical rap bravado. Moreover, DaBaby’s aggressive style, vernacular, and subject matter have all contributed to the popularity of the song.
