Listen up to SAVE ME, DaBaby‘s powerful new single that’s got everyone buzzing as of September 16, 2025. Fresh off his legal battles and a quieter period, Jonathan Kirk, aka DaBaby, drops this introspective track paired with a gripping music video dedicated to Iryna Zaratuska. The video tells a dramatic story of a st*bbing, ending in a plot twist where DaBaby steps in to save her, blending real emotion with his signature storytelling. It’s his first major release since 2023’s Baby on Baby 2, and fans are seeing it as a raw look at redemption and the streets he knows so well. Teased on social media last week, SAVE ME fits into DaBaby’s evolution, moving from high-energy bangers like “Suge” to deeper cuts that tackle personal struggles.
In the lyrics, DaBaby questions salvation head-on, with the chorus hitting hard: “You think you can save me like you God or somethin’?” He opens up about spending millions on lawyer fees after staying silent on his morals, and the cost of standing on business. Verse one paints a picture of vigilance checking mirrors and cameras for snakes while yearning for real connection, like wanting to see someone smile and stay strong. It’s all about manhood, protection, and not floating away without a lifeguard. The second verse shifts to the pain of fake love and young hurt, with lines like “That youngin hurtin’, he need love, so you can’t tell him nothin’,” touching on the cycle of violence and how some people just can’t be saved. Compared to his earlier work on Blame It on Baby, this feels more vulnerable, with spoken-word elements adding that conversational edge. Dive into the SAVE ME lyrics below and feel its urgent call. Don’t miss other DaBaby tracks for more of his street-smart wisdom.
Lyrics of PARADOX by DABABY
[Chorus]
(You Think You Can Save Me?)
(How You Think You Can Save Me?)
What?
(Yeah)
Think You Can Save Me Like You God Or Somethin’?
I’ve Been Put Up Out The Way, I Ain’t Been Startin’ Nothin’
I Done Spent A Couple Million On Them Lawyer Fees
[Verse 1]
‘Cause When You Really Stand On Business,
It’s Gon’ Cost Some Money
And I Looked At Shit Like It Was Normal,
It Was Off The Muscle
When I Get Back And Start Performin’,
It’s Gon’ Cost You Double
When I Stayed Silent In My Morals,
Yeah, It Cost Me Plenty
When I’m Inside Of Her, It’s Like Water,
She Gon’ Toss Me Under
So, Where The Lifeguard At? ’cause
I’m Not Tryna Float Away
I’m Just Tryna Know Your Name
Every Time You See ’em Out,
Act Like You Don’t Know Them Lames
Every Time I’m Leavin’ Out,
I Watch All 3 Of My Mirrors,
And Check The Cameras ‘fore I Leave The House
Makin’ Sure Ain’t No Snakes Around My Land,
I Gotta Weed ’em Out
Better Stay Out My Face ’cause
I’m A Man And I’ll Bleed You Down
A Man, I Wanna See You Smile
A Man, I Wanna See You Strong
A Man Don’t Wanna See You Down
A Man’ll Tell You Come Outside
A Man’ll Wanna See You Now
[Chorus]
(You Think You Can Save Me?)
Like Right Now
Yeah, Like, I Wanna See You Right Motherfuckin’ Now,
Like, Get Here (How You Think You Can Save Me?)
Think You Can Save Me Like You God Or Somethin’?
I’ve Been Put Up Out The Way, I Ain’t Been Startin’ Nothin’
‘Cause I Done Spent A Couple Million On Them Lawyer Fees
[Verse 2]
Done Spent Some More On People Who Say I Never Bought ’em Nothin’
They Say They Love You, Then They Act Like They Ain’t Never Love You
You Go Through Shit And, Yeah, You Act Like It Ain’t Never Nothin’
That Youngin Hurtin’, He Need Love, So You Can’t Tell Him Nothin’
He Got That .40 In His Backpack, He Ain’t Scared Of Nothin’
They Think They Know You, Niggas Act Like You A Ho Or Somethin’
Them Niggas Played, You Gon’ Blow It, You Gon’ Show ’em Somethin’
Them Niggas Actin’ Like You Owe ’em, You Don’t Owe ’em Nothin’
No 9 To 5, You’d Rather Post Up At The Store Or Somethin’,
And We Can’t Save You
[Chorus]
(You Think You Can Save Me?)
You Know When It’s Just Some People, Man,
Unfortunately, You Know?
(How You Think You Can Save Me?)
Man, We Can’t Save ’em
You Know What I’m Sayin’?
I Might Be One Of Them
I Might Be One Of Them Niggas, You Know? Baby
You Can’t Save, Nigga
And I Ain’t Lookin’ For You To Save Me, Nigga
Be More Grateful
You Know I Put My Faith In God
