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.

Run that back Turbo

Runnin' 'round on E, pants up to my knees
I can't get no sleep, if I ain't got no lean
Bad bitches follow me, my niggas a part of me
My bitch a hot commodity, I know my grandmom proud of me
I moved my mom from poverty

I hope they don't think 'bout robbin' me
I can fly, yeah I believe
In the cockpit where the pilot be
Don't need no stylist, I style for free
My young ho keep on callin' me, my old bitch keep on stalkin' me
Ain't gon' let a nigga take my shine from me
Should've been rappin', this rhymin' easy
Drop my top just to feel the breeze
Thugger my brother, yeah eazy breeze
I just wanna fuck, don't tease me
They got my songs on repeat, yeah yeah
I don't want no money exchange
I went overseas and got some change

I'm tryna get this money in a hurry
Switched up, I guess it wasn't workin'
Came back, guess it wasn't workin'
I think I'm addicted to the Perkys
I'm tryna get this money in a hurry
I'm tryna get this money in a hurry
I'm tryna get this money in a hurry
I'm tryna get this money in a hurry
I'm tryna get this money in a hurry
Switched up, I guess it wasn't workin'
Came back, guess it wasn't workin'
I think I'm addicted to the Perkys
I'm tryna get this money in a hurry
I'm tryna get this money in a hurry
I'm tryna get this money in a hurry
I'm tryna get this money in a hurry

Brand new Bentley, hit the block swervin'
12 say they know that I be workin' (fuck 12)
My PO she say I run the game (but I fuck with her)
Every time I see her I throw up the gang, yeah yeah yeah
Really ran the block, really keep a Glock, really serve the rock
Screamin' fuck the cops, screamin' fuck the opps, million in the vault
Oh you a gangster? Let's see 'bout it nigga
Had them lil niggas to see 'bout you nigga
Oh you a gangster? Let's shoot out lil nigga
Make my lil niggas go 2Pac a nigga
Had a million dollars on the low
I ain't even let nobody know
My role model get them truckloads
Bend her over, fuck her, then I'm gone
Ain't gon' put your name in a song
I'ma put your face on a shirt
I'ma put your body in the dirt
Nigga you a pussy, where your skirt?

I'm tryna get this money in a hurry
Switched up, I guess it wasn't workin'
Came back, guess it wasn't workin'
I think I'm addicted to the Perkys
I'm tryna get this money in a hurry
I'm tryna get this money in a hurry
I'm tryna get this money in a hurry
I'm tryna get this money in a hurry
I'm tryna get this money in a hurry
Switched up, I guess it wasn't workin'
Came back, guess it wasn't workin'
I think I'm addicted to the Perkys
I'm tryna get this money in a hurry
I'm tryna get this money in a hurry

I'm tryna get this money in a hurry
I'm tryna get this money in a hurry
