LYRICS:

Okay, this is my community
See me walking through the streets
Chillin' out at two or three
With two or three, dudes'll be
Well behaved, acting right, wavin as we passin by
Name a cracker half as nice
Tell me, can he rap this tight?

Started back in sixth grade
Now I'm droppin' mixtapes
Must've been a mistake
They ain't know I spit flames
I need a big change, all I see is school halls
Coming from a neighborhood whiter than a cue ball
Yeah, the kid is too raw, try to tell me otherwise
Other guys, nothin' nice, killed it since I've touched a mic

Something like a genius when they're hearin' the dude
'Cause the flow nastier than cafeteria food
Okay, raised out in Shelby County, livin' on the country side
Lookin' out my window, see a couple horses running by
I ain't even joking man, that's true and for real
Then I hit third grade, and we moved to the 'ville, uh huh

That's the way it had to be, but nothing changed drastically
I just had a social life, and started reading magazines
Favorite singer Fergie, I was skinny, kinda nerdy
Nails dirty, hair curly, all the girls said I was thirsty, but

I done kept it real from the jump
Says he never met me, but he claims that I'm a punk
And honestly, that probably would bother me a year ago
Now my self-esteem is up, and I ain't tryna hear it, bro

Tell me who as hot as this, sorry but you not as sick
Best in the city, I say it with all confidence
Middle class neighborhood, yeah that's where I started
And my neighbors ridin' round, shoppin' at the farmer's market
So environmental, life is nice and simple
But, I'm bout to turn it up, they ain't touchin' my potential

Rollin' down the boulevard, mess with me get pulled apart
Daily hustle, daily struggle
Life is easy, school is hard
Got some extra credit, and it's due
I'ma worry bout me, not associate with you
And just as a reminder to myself
All I got is 4 years, just to go and get this wealth

'Cause I started from the middle, at the middle I remain
Reppin' for the Highlands, not forgettin' where I came
Started from the middle, at the middle I remain
Reppin' for the Highlands, not forgettin' where I came

hi

[SuperTerri]

if this doesn’t motivate you to do whatever u want in life idk what will…..

[SimplyTae.]

Just to think this guy approached Saweetie years later is mind blowing

[westcoastray]

He went from saying “favorite singer Fergie” to sampling her biggest hit song and making his own hit with it. Jack is living proof that dreams do come true🙌🏾🙌🏾

[dubnicko]

This guy had the hugest glow up in every aspect

[ziggy]

“Cuz the flow nastier than cafeteria food” 😂😂😂

[drodge]

He's the kid that got that last laugh. I'm sure people thought he was wasting his time. Dudes dope. It's cool to watch these old videos and watch him get better

[pnwmax]

rap is “confidence > everything” and he’s 💯 on that.

[evanollen]

Never tried to be something he wasn’t and that’s why people love him, respect🙏

[TheHouseOfMasks]

Wonder how this kid would’ve reacted if you said “you’re gonna have Wayne featured in one of your songs in a few years”

[luisfrias]

I love how he acknowledges that he’s a kid from the suburbs and raps about that and makes clever jokes with his lyrics he doesn’t try to act hard like some rappers nowadays

[Saiyanblackx]

Let's be real. This man always had the flow to be a star

[_htxpacc]

Dont forget that Jack Harlow brought all his homies to the crew league

[chrispf]

Jack using a tractor trailer as a flex, is the most southern thing I’ve ever seen

[dieselclockwork]

Seeing his growth since here is astronomical. It gives me hope that my music will improve ten fold from where I started too. I’ve already seen a lot of progress but I’m still working to improve my craft and I’m not close to where I want to be yet. Seeing Jack blow up shows me what’s possible! Happy for Jack and all the success he’s found :)

[firstnamelastname]

I respect him so much that he's being himself instead of like some of these other white rappers who try to act like they're hard-core gangsters from the ghetto. He deserves his success from that alone

[CloudCity]

Jacks easily become my favourite personality from an artist 🙏🏼

[justinescalona]

LOVE THE FUCKIN THIS IS PROOF TO FUCKIN FULL SEND YOUR DREAMS!!!

[jazzyg]

Thats respect. Thats how you roll up into black culture, and get accepted 🤜🏾🤛🏻

[michaelyoung]

He has some nice beats.... Good to see people being united and not devided ! Definitely will listen to more of his stuff...
