In 2015, at age 19, Lil Baby went to prison for two years for a probation violation. Upon his release in 2017, he jump-started his rap career with a mixtape called Perfect Timing, released in April of that year. The mixtape featured cameos from friends like Lil Yachty, Young Thug, and Gunna, and strong production from 808 Mafia, Brickz, and many others, highlighted by Lil Baby's woozy flows. The mixtape immediately brought the young rapper fame, in part due to his affiliations with friends in the Quality Control family of artists as well as the 4 Pockets Full clique. As his mixtape attracted more listeners, Lil Baby worked constantly on new music, releasing singles like "My Dawg" and the Young Thug collaboration "Pink Slip"" in the summer of 2017. Other 2017 releases included Harder Than Hard, 2 the Hard Way (with Marlo), and Too Hard. Lil Baby's debut studio album, Harder Than Ever, appeared in May of 2018. Featuring guest appearances from Drake, Offset, Lil Uzi Vert, and others, the release entered the Billboard 200 album chart at number three.

(Cook that shit up, Quay)

She keep jigging wit me she must wanna fuck
101, 69 Comaro seats buggin
From the streets I seen a
Cousin kill his cousin it ain’t nothin
I done seen a brother tell on
His brother them niggas real rats

I ain’t puttin no fake money
My videos these real racks
Youngin rachin they ain’t Kodak
But they know I get the skrilla
My lil dawg look like a lion
He a full-blown killa
Baby mama think I fucked a bitch
We never even kicked it
I need lean to clean my system
Getting weed me and my sista
Now I gotta deal with swishers
Take his chain and then we dipped ‘em
Can’t compare me cause I’m different
I got hit's on hit's on hit's
And when I hop out know it's smoke
We got sticks on sticks on sticks
I jus spent some millions on these diamonds
Lobe earrings they’ll do things
You will think
I can’t cry I put my problems in the drank

Yea i look up to Frank Lucas so
I went and bought a mink

He then talks about his own success, referencing his real money and diamonds that can be seen in his videos. He also mentions how he looks up to Frank Lucas, a notorious drug lord, and has even bought a mink coat in his honor.
