U Digg: the lyrics and their meaning

Rap songs are often about money. Even in this song, Lil Baby analyses his situation: his rich, everybody knows it and sometimes they take advantage of it. Especially women, who get closer and expect to get money just because they are with him. It’s one of his typical situations and he describes it in the lyrics.

Got three hundred pounds at the spot and they all disappeared, you know where they went
Ain’t worried about a ho tellin’ her best friend I’m cheap, she know I’m rich
[…]
I done ran it up, I ain’t goin’ broke, that s**t ain’t in my thoughts

The complain is that he cannot go on giving away his money to all girls who show poor and needy. Because they don’t prove to be loyal and stay with him afterwards. Therefore, it becomes necessary to be careful and say no, sometimes. They will say that he’s a cheap guy, of course. And that hurts his pride a bit. But he can’t do differently. It’s business, and he needs to preserve his wealth, his lifestyle. And that’s what he says in the chorus.

Got fifties, thirties, switches, every pole, ya dig? (Dig)
Brand new money, blue notes fallin’ out my clothes, ya dig? (Dig)
This my business, can’t nobody know, ya dig? (Nah)
N***a shake my hand but he really wanna cut my throat, ya dig? (Shh)

The rest of the lyrics is a long rant about how Lil Baby’s life goes: he’s rich, they all know it and he feels he needs to protect his wealth from everybody’s attack. Girls who want him to give them money, guys who want to steal it from him. It’s a continuous threat and he needs to be constantly careful.

This is therefore the real meaning of U Digg lyrics: Lil Baby has money, but that doesn’t mean he can give it away with no attention. Wealth is precious and volatile and everybody wants to have a piece of his cake. A cake he built and developed autonomously, and that therefore needs to be protected.

U Digg, short for “Do You Dig?”, means “Do you agree?”. But he doesn’t really need to have confirmations from the others about it.

‘Rari sittin’ on twenty-fours, ya dig?

When she put her hair in a bun and grab my belt, I’ma know it’s real (Ooh)
I’m heavy handed pouring in, all my cups be over spilled
I done popped me a Akorn pint, this s**t so red like roadkill

I’d rather chase that check, that bag, stash nine Ms over 1.5
Damn right, I got a dime, they don’t see me
I was probably wearin’ Tru’s before Chief Keef
Drop a five in the Sprite, b—, pink, pink (Yeah)
