[Intro]
Yeah, yeah
Wait a minute, who are you? (Ayy, yo, K.i.D.)
Let's go (Woo)

[Chorus]
Yeah, I took the cash route
I put in more time, more grind, no lyin'
I didn't take the fast route (Let's go)
Suck it up, no cryin', no cryin', no cryin'
I didn't ask for handouts (Yeah)
Go to work, no grind, no shine, no shine
And that's how you stand out (Yeah)
Yeah, that's how I stand out (Yeah)
Yeah, I took the cash route
I put in more time, more grind, no lyin' (Let's go)
I didn't take the fast route
Suck it up, no cryin', no cryin', no cryin'
I didn't ask for handouts (Uh-uh)
Go to work, no grind, no shine, no shine (Yeah)
And that's how you stand out
Yeah, that's how I stand out (Let's go)

[Verse]
Yeah, I took the cash route
I did it and did it again (What you did?)
I started at one and I went up to ten
Came back, now I'm winning again (Uh-huh)
We pull up behind tints, which one he gon' hop out? (Skrrt)
They don't know what whip that he in (Vroom)
Put in hours of practice and that's how it happened
I don't even pick up a pen
Nah, I'm comin' straight up off the top with it (Let's go)
Ain't a power forward, he ain't a center, but he was on the block with me
Shootin' in the gym, we really got it in, he put up the shots with me (Uh-huh)
Now we breakin' bread, everybody playin', he hold up a knot with me (No cap)
We took the cash route (Let's go)
Yeah, I'm talkin' mula, fetty (Uh-huh)
We grew up off of noodles, spaghetti
Used to be peanut butter and jelly (Uh-huh)
Now the Chevy gon' come when it's ready (Uh-huh)
What you know 'bout the lights off, candles? (Lights)
I provide with the mic off dancin' (Like Mike)
I'm a star and I'm moonwalkin'
Now I got the whole room talkin'
Yeah, I'm talkin' trophies
I got everybody talkin' down, actin' like they know me
I'm a champion like LeBron, ballin' with my homies
I'm better than the old me
R.I.P. to Kobe, yeah

[Chorus]
Yeah, I took the cash route (Let's go)
Put in more time, more grind, no lyin'
I didn't take the fast route (Let's go)
Suck it up, no cryin', no cryin', no cryin'
I didn't ask for handouts (Yeah)
Go to work, no grind, no shine, no shine
And that's how you stand out (Yeah)
Yeah, that's how I stand out (Uh-huh)
Yeah, I took the cash route (Let's go)
I put in more time, more grind, no lyin'
I didn't take the fast route (Uh-huh)
Suck it up, no cryin', no cryin', no cryin'
I didn't ask for handouts (Uh-huh)
Go to work, no grind, no shine, no shine (Yeah)
And that's how you stand out (Yeah)
Yeah, that's how I stand out (Let's go)

[Outro]
Yeah
Yeah
Uh-huh

DaBaby

Jonathan Lyndale Kirk (b. December 22, 1991), better known as his stage name DaBaby (formerly Baby Jesus), is a rapper hailing from Charlotte, North Carolina.

His 2018 songs “Next Song” and “Blank Blank” have received cosigns from the likes of Boosie Badazz and Yo Gotti, but his true ascent began when he dropped the music video to his viral hit “Walker Texas Ranger” on the first day of 2019.

In November 2018, DaBaby shot and killed a man attempting to rob him in a Walmart, which propelled his name up to new heights following various news reports on the incident. The murder charge was later dropped.
