Lil baby bigger picture lyrics5/19/2023 “I don’t wanna be comin’ from where I come from all the way right here to be a nothin’,” he told Apple Music around the release of My Turn. This was a dream Now we got the power that we need to have They don't want us with it and thats why they mad, yeah It's bigger than black and white Its a problem with the whole way of life It can't change overnight But we gotta start somewhere Might as well gon 'head start here We done had a hell of a year I'ma make it count while I. By the end of 2020, he’d been nominated for a Grammy, made the chart-topping album My Turn, and was named Artist of the Year at the Apple Music Awards. ![]() In the song, Lil Baby shows solidarity with the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests calling for justice against police brutality in the United States and systemic racism. It was released on June 12, 2020, in the wake of the murder of George Floyd. (Young Thug, an early booster, paid him to spend time in the studio instead of the streets.) Compared to his Atlanta peers (Thug, Gunna, Migos, etc.), Baby’s persona was muted: He shrugged off fashion shows, didn’t have tattoos (he didn’t want potential business partners from the buttoned-up, white world thinking he was something he wasn’t), and kept his boasts mild: “I never call myself a G.O.A.T./I leave that love to the people,” he raps on “Emotionally Scarred.” But the lyricism was there, as were the low-key intensity and no-frills ethic that have become his hallmark.

Ain’t no more free Lil Steve I gave them chance and chance and chance again I even done told them please I find it crazy the police will shoot you and know that you dead but still tell you to. ![]() I know, but at least we can turn up the flames some. Ain't scared to admit it, some shit I can't mention. Its bigger than black and white Its a problem with the whole way of life It cant change overnight But we gotta start somewhere Might as well gon head start here We done had a hell of a year. How the fck they gon blame us You cant fight fire with fire. I won't go too deep 'cause I'm scared they'll get me. The story goes that Lil Baby (born Dominique Jones in 1994) didn’t even really want to rap. Knowledge is power, I swear I'm a witness, I know that I'm gifted.
