The Chosen One lyrics - Jack Harlow

I feel like the Chosen One, I feel like the Chosen One
When I come around, they be actin like they owe me something
I just got the motor running and we still got mo' to come
Treat me like a father, I'm a teach you how to hold a gun
From day one, I been an independent thinker
Not a money on my mind, try and get it to my fingers
And it's not about the money or at least I think it wasn't
But I'm all grown up now she diggin' my demeanor
Attracted to my confidence, swagger hella prominent
It's actually astonishing they mad at my accomplishments
And bitch I got the sauce, you can check inside my kitchen
All you ever gonna find is fucking packets full of condiments
Jack ain't got no common sense, I think something wrong with him
Y'all ain't fucking with we now, I ain't gonna call it quits
If I beat it up I guarantee she tellin' all her friends
And that shit ain't okay with me, so I will never call again
I can hear them talking shit, I feel like it's fuel for me
No I don't wanna pop a pill, that shit isn't cool to me
I don't wanna do a feature please don't ask me for the price
Guarantee it's out your budget, give it up there's more to life
I am not the one that you should be triflin' with
They see I got it now they all wanna ride with the kid
And you ain't got it, so I wish you stop trying and quit

So if you don't love it, if you're not having fun doing it
And you don't really love it, uhh, you're going to give up
And that's what happens to most people actually
If you really look at the ones that ended up you know
"Being successful" unquote in the eyes of society
And the ones that didn't
Often times it's the ones that are successful
Loved what they did so they could persevere

Yeah, errbody wants to be a rapper
All up in my messages they askin "How to be a rapper?"
I can't fucking help you if I could it wouldn't even matter
If you want to get up on my level, you 'gon need a ladder
Really though, man, I swear it's simple to me
If I want to get this music poppin', it's a pimple to me
I can feel the pressure, but I don't feel like it's gettin' to me
When it comes to people that's around me, I be pick and choosing
Yeah, yeah, working like I got no other choice
If you think it's dope, they probably got it from the boy
Heard them talking bout me but they never stepping to me
Cause they know that that's an option
That they probably should avoid
I got people round me don't know how to act
We 'gon spend a weekend in Atlanta, going down and back
Winner's derby weekend in the city
I be working like a thoroughbred, catch me in the studio
I'm going round and round the track
These rappers had me for a second then they lost me
Never leave the studio unless I'm out with Chauncey
'Member when these girls, used to never want to call me
Now I hit the stage and they sexually assault me
Shit been crazy as of late, couple things that we been working on
Gon' take me out the state, all that shit you been tweetin'
Come and say it to my face, if you ain't down here making music
You just taking up the space, so get the fuck out

Got Me Thinking lyrics - Jack Harlow

I don't think we can be friends
I don't think that I can even pretend
We used to be such a hit
Now it just feels like a swing and a miss
You used to think I'm the shit
Sometimes I wish you could meet me again
I know you always believed in the kid
And my music and that I'd succeed and go big
And subsequently I'll be bringing you with
We would get married, and we would be rich
Everything changed, I wasn't the same
Now you think that you believed in a myth
I cannot tell you the reason for this
Summer is coming I'm facing temptations
Maybe I'm selfish and I think with my dick
Remember we spent all of those nights in my basement

I know that I'm really all that you want
Wish you could say "this is all that I need"
I know you see right through all of my fronts
I don't know who I've been trying to be
I do not think that's a problem with us
I just think that is a problem with me, me, me
I don't know when she can stand anymore
I don't know when she can stand anymore
She doesn't think I'm the man anymore, no
She doesn't think I'm the man anymore, no no
No no, no no
No no
No no, no no

I'm sorry we're not what you thought we could be
But it's not what you think
This is way worse than I thought it would be
I know that I'm not what I promised to be
I promised myself I'd be honest with you and I wanted to do this shit honorably
I know that you've always been honest with me
Can't help but think that I took you for granted
Cause if there's a problem then it's gotta be me
I guess I was never prepared for the truth
Telling myself the decision was right
And to have no regrets cause I'm scared that I do

Ooh...
You got me thinking like
You got me thinking like
You got me thinking like
Ooh...
You got me thinking like
You got me thinking like
You got me thinking like

Yeah, and now we just stuck in the grayest of areas
Thinking back to when I'd say I would marry you
Thinking back to all of them days I would stare at you
Thinking back when you would be drunk at a party
And I was right there I be taking good care of you
I still remember the first time I saw you
And I do not think there was a way of preparing us
For the inevitable, that's how it seems
When you go to college and I chase a dream
Eventually you'll find a man of integrity
Someone that's better you think I could never be, uh
Prolly a guy with some muscles
The type that be smoking and drinking that liquor
Prolly a guy with a beard, prolly a fella who's penis is bigger

I gotta get myself focused again
Sometimes it feels like you're all that I know
I know you think we should only be friends
Cause it might just help us to soften the blow
But I don't think that I can even pretend
I do not think that I'll have that control
I don't know when she can stand anymore
I don't know when she can stand anymore
She doesn't think I'm the man anymore, no
She doesn't think I'm the man anymore, no no
No no, no no
No no
No no, no no

I'm sorry we're not what you thought we could be
But it's not what you think
This is way worse than I thought it would be
I know that I'm not what I promised to be
I promised myself I'd be honest with you and I wanted to do this shit honorably
I know that you've always been honest with me
Can't help but think that I took you for granted
Cause if there's a problem then it's gotta be me
I guess I was never prepared for the truth
Telling myself the decision was right
And to have no regrets cause I'm scared that I do

Ooh...
You got me thinking like
You got me thinking like
You got me thinking like
Ooh...
You got me thinking like
You got me thinking like
You got me thinking like

Ice Cream lyrics - Jack Harlow

Know she wanna fuck with a fella like me, (me)
They don't know for sure, but they can tell I might be, (hey)
The mutherfuckin' man, when I pull up on the spot
Got the kids goin' wild like I'm sellin' ice cream
Like I'm, like I'm sellin' ice cream, (cream)
I don't really know how I can tell 'em nicely
I'm the prince of my city, yeah they know about the kid
You a tourist in this bitch doin' hella sight seein'

We been on the move for a minute now, (ey)
Movin' through the city with the windows down, (ey)
Only got a couple months till we graduate so, (so)
Ain't nobody out here really tryna sit around, (ey)
I just hit her phone with that "WYD", (yeh)
She said, "Boy I'm down, if you wanna come find me", (cool)
I said, "Watchu wearing girl? There's something I'm tryna see"
Told me, "Come and get it", said she wanna surprise me
Bet, give me like an hour and a half
With the homies right now and we bout to get a snack, (yoh)
In the mean time, you can take a shower or a bath
And relax, wait for me, I'll be out there in a dash, (yoh)
Close knit, how we sharin' the wealth
I can see that they don't like how we carry ourselves
You can tell by how we act, we don't care how they felt
I can see it in your eyes that you're scared of yourself, you lil'

Know she wanna fuck with a fella like me
They don't know for sure, but they can tell I might be
The mutherfuckin' man, when I pull up on the spot
Got the kids goin' wild like I'm sellin' ice cream
Like I'm, like I'm sellin' ice cream
I don't really know how I can tell 'em nicely
I'm the prince of my city, yeah they know about the kid
You a tourist in this bitch doin' hella sight seein'

We been laid back, lookin' for some things to do
Pull up at the party, now it's lookin' like a kangaroo
Remember when I used to never get the invite
Now I'm the motherfucker that these people wanna cater to
Smooth criminal, y'all are too cynical
Hottest in my city I ain't even hit my pinnacle, (yeh)
First round draft pick, you might get your ass kicked
Post up, step back, every move is pivotal
And I got the people sayin', "Why the boy is so lyrical?", (what!)
They hatin' on me, but they still enjoy what they hearin' tho
Honestly, I think you need that shit I pour in my cereal
She ain't tryna hook up with me cause I'm boyfriend material, cool
But now she pullin' on my cardigan
Dick went soft, but I think it's gettin' hard again
The people that I started with, the ones I'm bout to party with
And we gon' stay away from anyone who wasn't a part of it

Know she wanna fuck with a fella like me
They don't know for sure, but they can tell I might be
The mutherfuckin' man, when I pull up on the spot
Got the kids goin' wild like I'm sellin' ice cream
Like I'm, like I'm sellin' ice cream
I don't really know how I can tell 'em nicely
I'm the prince of my city, yeah they know about the kid
You a tourist in this bitch doin' hella sight-seein'

I'm Good lyrics - Jack Harlow

Wondering how the fuck this shit gon' pan out
All my life I been a sniper in the city I been camped out
They been searching for a hand-out
Prolly heard I was a man now
Like a sneaky pedophile that steady lurking with his pants down
They been fucking with the kid, yeah the youngin' is legit
Ace Pro up on production he be coming with the hits
Now she come in to the crib
Got your boyfriend sensing danger
Know my pull-out game is strong
Just tell him we were playing Jenga
Working on escaping my destiny in the cubicle
Recipe for success is just blessing, beats, and a studio
People are fucking twisted, can't never seem to get through to them
Tell me you want me dead but say Rest in Peace at my funeral
Damn, I wish I could call you
These are days I'm gon be looking back on with some nostalgia
But now it seems like you want someone different to call up
And kiss and just ball up and cuddle with
I miss you it's awful

Well I'm good, yeah I'm good
As the time goes by
But I wish I could tell you that I don't mind
If it's wrong, then it's wrong
I hope I know right
I've been searching for someone that I won't find
But I'm good, yeah I'm good
As the time goes by
But I wish I could tell you that I don't mind
If it's wrong, then it's wrong
I hope I know right
I've been searching for someone that I won't find

I been searching for my mother's son
Only got one brother, so I'm talking bout the other one
Trying to keep it friendly with these people getting cumbersome
Y'all keep talking pressure like I'm really out here under some
I'm the future wave creator
Making music, making memories, 'ventually we making paper
Please don't ask your boy for shit
Just ride my dick and thank me later
I ain't got no tips to give you like I fucking hate my waiter
Let's take a trip, yeah
But I don't give a damn about the beach
I'm in Atlanta for the week and we got plans to fucking eat
I'm in the hotel with my brodies doing damage on these beats
I'm writing shit that got that bounce that make you stand up in your seat
Chicken and Waffles
These are days I'm gon be looking back on with some nostalgia
But now it seems like you want someone different to call up
And kiss and just ball up and cuddle with
I miss you it's awful

Well I'm good, yeah I'm good
As the time goes by
But I wish I could tell you that I don't mind
If it's wrong, then it's wrong
I hope I know right
I've been searching for someone that I won't find
But I'm good, yeah I'm good
As the time goes by
But I wish I could tell you that I don't mind
If it's wrong, then it's wrong
I hope I know right
I've been searching for someone that I won't find

Obsessed lyrics - Jack Harlow (feat. Otis Junior & Nemo Achida)

[Jack Harlow:]
I've been obsessed with your face
Thinking 'bout you and a dress and a date
Let me get some cash with this check at the bank
And we can make the best of the rest of the day
I like it when it's sunny outside and I pull up at your crib 'round twenty past five
And I'm staring at your walk when you coming outside
Ain't seen you in a minute, girl, it's fucking 'bout time that we get it
Tank top with the skin showin'
Light brown with the skin tone
Dime piece with the white teeth
She got her hair down like the windows
And you know that you're beautiful
The type of girl that got me really hoping I'm suitable
You been doing you and I don't really know what to do with you in the moment
So I'm driving a little slower than usual
I can tell you not a fuckin' dummy
When I'm with you I might try a little harder to be funny
For the time being I'll assume you honestly just want me
But these women gon' change when you got a bunch of money
So, I savor these moments
I'll take your ass shopping and pay for the clothing
Honestly what you do is magical to me
And really I just want a taste of the potion

[Otis Junior:]
Everything from your smile to your hair and your eyes
From your step to your dress and I'm set
Everything from your smile to your hair and your eyes
From your step to your dress and I'm set

[Nemo Achida:]
I've been obsessed with ya sex
Move so good, you should move to success
I can see you stripping naked, make the money stretch
Said she do it in the motel for the kid
Take you to a city, to a place you never been
God damn, dressing like [?]
You next to me looking like Yoko
Fuck TV, you workin' with an Apple
Let me control that fatty like Roku
We can bounce to the mall with your homegirls
Or we can bounce in the mall like pogo
Keep our vibes on the low like no-shows
In 2000 you probably wore Manolos
I can tell 'cause you living up in Soho
But you ghetto 'cause your ass like [?]
Kardashian, no promo
We never watching, we be busy with our photos
Front cam with the fam, all gang signs in it
You laugh cause' you glad 'cause the gangs all in it
Never feel safer, guns on the table
My brother gon' keep us, the Canon is aimin'
Right back to the room, nip slip, badaboom
Light that Marley, sniff that Heidy Klum
Invite only, sip that billion

[Otis Junior:]
Everything from your smile to your hair and your eyes
From your step to your dress and I'm set
Everything from your smile to your hair and your eyes
From your step to your dress and I'm set

Selfish lyrics - Jack Harlow

Lately I been wondering what the fuck you keep doing
Got me running round in circles shit is fucking confusing
I can tell that you ain't happy you don't wanna go through this
I know you think that I don't love you
I been wanting to prove it, but uh
Lately my mind been on other things
And I want you but I want a few other things
Tell the truth there some girls that I want to bang
I ain't say I'm going to, but I don't wanna change
And I know I'm not giving you the attention you deserve
And I understand if you gotta kick me to the curb
But I know you don't wanna you just wish that this would work
We been going through it, but I guess you live it and you learn
Man this shit is so berserk
Things been bad but they getting kinda worse
We can end things now, before you leave town
But, if I hear something it's gon' hit me where it hurts cause

You say, you say, you say that
We should take a break, we should take a break
And just hope it helps cause
I can't, (I can't nah), I can't, (I can't do it), I can't
I don't wanna think, I don't wanna see
You with no one else

Here I go thinking with my dick again
Here you go making me believe you wanna get with him
You ain't fucking with them fellas
But you love to make me jealous, I been seeming so indifferent
Guessing you ain't getting all the loving that you wish you did
Clearly we got issues you ain't bring to my attention
Yeah until you got fucked, but I'm the one that's fucked up
So don't think that I've been innocent
I know you saw this coming
I know being happy's really all you wanted
(And you know I, I wish I didn't, you know, fuck that shit up for you every time but uh)
I wish we could rewind things back
When you fell in love with a guy named Jack
I know lately I've been trying to have it my way but
Maybe I just really want what I can't have

You say, you say, you say that
We should take a break, we should take a break
And just hope it helps cause
I can't, (I can't nah), I can't, (I can't do it), I can't
I don't wanna think, I don't wanna see
You with no one else

Magazine lyrics - Jack Harlow

Locked in
Serve em up with that top spin
Young boy I've been taking off
And might pull up in that cockpit
And I... got hits
Don't ask for shit cause we not friends
I spits verses I been working
You mo'fuckers just clocked in
And you doing it but I been did it
My potential that's Ben Simmons
Like blue jeans at the state fair
I might cut you off straight mid-sentence
She love the way that I'm quick with it
We have sex and I'm quick with it
If I put it in with no condom on
Then I might last like 10 minutes
On a good day
But baby it's cool we can do it again
This is the moment and this is the year
I'm predicting that I'll prolly be losing some friends
Please do not tell me about all of the bullshit
That y'all have been doing and who has been with
I feel like I should have been famous a year ago
I ain't got interest into just shooting the shits (woo)
When are we doing it big?
They made it cool and you ruined it quick
I got a hit's I don't usually miss
All of the shit you'll be shooting the bricks
It's crazy to me that you think this shits working
We don't give a fuck about you and your clique
All that I need is a year
And I swear the whole country gon' wonder like
"Who is this kid?"

I remember in the morning
When I take the bus to school
I wondered to myself
If this is how it has to be
I would take my finger
Write my name up on the window
Thinking one day
That's gon be up on a magazine
[x2]

Been about a week now
Been sleep deprived
Teachers' see me I'm easing by
C's and D's I don't need to try
But that piece of mind's what I need to find
And these people 'round me don't help
I've been dreaming like I'm still twelve
I was thinking bout what I want to be
I been redefining myself
Watch me as I break the ceiling
Watch me as I make a million
I think yo girl faking feelings
She just want to date a real one
I'm the man that got the hits
I think I should get payed to kill him
Pigment look like sour cream
They treat me like I'm Jason Williams
I'm trying to get to the top of the pyramid
Obvious to me you not really serious
You can not sit with me
Do this shit differently
If you pick Sprite Ima cop the Sierra Mist
I feel like Hell isn't as hot as my lyrics is
Tell them to give me my chops as a lyricist
All of these rappers look nervous as fuck to me
Like when your girlfriend ain't gotten her period (uh)
Yeah I can tell it's a struggle for you
Seeing this happen with me and this rapping
I'm doing just what I been wanted to do
I did not bring 'em a thing in the spring
So we gon see now what the summer can do
Only way they get themselves into shape
Is I bring in the facts and they run from the truth

I remember in the morning
When I take the bus to school
I wondered to myself
If this is how it has to be
I would take my finger
Write my name up on the window
Thinking one day
That's gon be up on a magazine

Never Woulda Known lyrics - Jack Harlow (feat. Johnny Spanish)

[Jack Harlow:]
I been gifted from the start to the finish
But as I've gotten older it's been harder to listen
Middle school is when I started resistin'
My teachers' told my parents
Yeah as smart as this kid is, his heart isn't in it
Now they got me arguin' with them
Cause Mom and Dad never thought I'd start a new mission
Had it all planned out like I be part of the system
Now I'm shaking things up like the Parkinsons syndrome
I wasn't made for that 9 to 5
I am not the same as you
I can see a difference between everything you say and do
I can tell you need somebody round
That's gonna state the truth
So basically I'm saying
You just talking while we making moves
And this is just the start of my life
I done came a long way from that Guitar Hero mic
And writing raps with Copeland
We recorded in the basement
Might've thought is was a phase
This is more than dedication

[Johnny Spanish:]
I never woulda known
I never woulda known
I be flipping switches got these bitches
That be fiendin' for a playa
Man they beggin' for the bone
And my phone is always jumpin'
Man they tryin' to get a hold of me
But ain't nobody home
Cause they picked a mothafucka man
They picked a mothafucka
Like it's eeny miny moe
God damn God damn
No I never woulda known

[Jack Harlow:]
I been peeping what these people been saying
They being outrageous
I see they need a reason to hate it
Can't even debate it
They come in and they leave in amazement
Cause bitch I'm me
And my homies put your team in the pavement
She say you different yeah I know it
It don't need no explaining
I got music inside my mind
I know they eagerly waiting for me to create it
It's guaranteed to be on they playlist
I tell my teachers' bout my dreams
And they gon' think that I'm playing, but nah
I'm really going for this shit
My parents talking College
I ain't going to that shit
I got people that's around me
And they know I'm bout to win
Don't expect me to respect you
We don't know about you kid
We don't know about you
You fiendin' for attention
And searching for a chance just a reason to get mentioned
And we got the whole neighborhood terrified
Before you ask me for a favor tell that [?] mine

[Johnny Spanish:]
I never woulda known
I never woulda known
I be flipping switches got these bitches
That be fiendin' for a playa
Man they beggin' for the bone
And my phone is always jumpin'
Man they tryin' to get a hold of me
But ain't nobody home
Cause they picked a mothafucka man
They picked a mothafucka
Like it's eeny miny moe
God damn God damn
No I never woulda known
[x2]
