Jack Harlow ‘Thats What They All Say’ Interview

You employed to say her male was trash and notify me about the way he’d act

I would shake my head until eventually I realized I’m the very same as that

Now I ponder do she inform her gentleman that I’m a trash dude

And would he shake his head right up until he recognized that he was trash too?

On the album’s outro, “Baxter Avenue,” he stops pondering the vicissitudes of informal humping and turns his consideration to race and his combined crew. “Generally puzzled to myself if I could truly be the leader to a group of brown-skinned boys when I’m not brown-skinned,” he raps just before clocking the variances in their upbringings. Sounding truly unsure, he raps about wanting to share his achievement and prosperity, and wonders what it would look like to do that reasonably. He claims it is the type of tune that will be “tough to sit in a area and have other persons hear.” In accordance to Cannon, which is specifically the kind of honesty he pushed Harlow towards.
