Born in Jacksonville, Florida, Nardo Wick was a sly kid who wanted to be wealthy from an early age. By the time he reached high school, Wick started selling drugs but that quickly fizzled once his mom found out. At 14, Wick started writing rhymes into his phone, and he soon realized that rapping could be his road to riches. His breakthrough came with his Top 20 US single "Who Want Smoke??" Like "Who Want Smoke," "Dah Dah DahDah" is a violent song centered on the gangsta lifestyle. Wick warns his opps that he's got plenty of weapons and he's ready to use them to solve his problems. On the bridge, Wick samples a children's song about the Gingerbread Man fairy tale. Run, run, as fast you can You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man In the fairy tale, a gingerbread man comes to life after being baked. He flees from various pursuers who want to eat him but eventually is devoured by a fox. Here, Wick compares the moves of his enemies to those of the Gingerbread Man. Like the ill-fated fairy tale character, they think the rapper won't catch up with them. Other well-known rappers have referenced the Gingerbread Man, including Tyga on Young Money's 2014 cut "Senile," where he says: Gingerbread Man run while you can Wick flips Suzanne Vega's ad-libbed Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo outro for "Tom's Diner" on his intro and outro. Producers Trademark and Wheretfisray also interpolate the lead melody of "Tom's Diner" for the piano. Nardo Wick released "Dah Dah DahDah" as the lead single from the deluxe version of Who Is Nardo Wick? on July 22, 2022.

I'ma brick, baby boy, concrete, lil' nigga
Yeah, I rap and all that shit, I'm still a street lil' nigga (grrah, grrah, grrah, grrah)
Got more shots than a gym, you wanna beef, lil' nigga?
I'm who all they hoes like, they wanna be me nigga (hol' up, hol' up, hol' up)
Diamonds look just like the static on the TV, nigga
We ain't cuffin' hoes, I play her like a CD, nigga
Pull up, eight contents, you can't see me, nigga
Shot his ass, then he screamed, "Oh, ooh, wee", nigga

And there's problems, we gon' solve 'em
Got a lot of weapons for the drama
Try to understand me, please don't judge me
If you ain't ever seen the bottom

Pull up with my Glock out
If the opps out, I'ma rock out
Fat mouth, turn a fat mouth to a shot mouth
Dead man, he a dead man for what he said, man
He seen me, I ain't seen him, he turned to the gingerbread man
(Run, run, as fast you can)
(You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man)

All them niggas 'round you bitches, so how the fuck you gangsta?
Niggas shot and hit the fences, so how the fuck you aimin'?
Nigga ain't killed nobody, how the fuck you dangerous?
All these niggas be cap, they not really like that
Wrote that ho when I was broke, now she wanna write back
Want me to put it in her throat, want my tip to touch the back
She wanna be my wicked witch, she keep askin' for my strap
And there's problems, we gon' solve 'em
Got a lot of weapons for the drama
I'm talkin' 'bout them FNs, Glock-19s and SKS
"Wick' a wild man, somebody tell 'em stop, he on a rampage"
"Batman, he always in the same color Batman"
If we slide and you get hit but you don't die, you better act then

And there's problems, we gon' solve 'em
Got a lot of weapons for the drama
Try to understand me, please don't judge me
If you ain't ever seen the bottom

Dah, dah, dah-dah, dah, dah, dah-dah
Dah, dah, dah-dah, dah, dah, dah-dah
Dah, dah, dah-dah, dah, dah, dah-dah
Dah, dah, dah-dah, dah, dah, dah-dah
