Jack Harlow Face Of My City
Jack Harlow has been looking to elevate his stature, a process that has been happening organically throughout 2020. Now, the young rapper’s big moment in the spotlight has arrived, with the release of his debut album That’s What They All Say marking his transition from boy to man. And given how much momentum he’s gained through singles like “What’s Poppin” and “Tyler Herro,” Harlow has had no issue expanding his social circle, as evidenced by the blistering duet with Lil Baby “Face Of My City.”
Fueled by a seething synth instrumental from CuBeatz and Sonny Digital, who work atmospheric wonders with a simple arrangement, Harlow sets it off with a few key flexes. As has been his way, he manages to conjure up several different ways to exude dominance, making it clear that doing so doesn’t exhaust him in the slightest. In fact, Harlow barely bats an eyelash as he raps, delivering his bars with the weary, borderline unimpressed manner of the prematurely jaded. Lil Baby brings a little more intensity to his closing verse, his chemistry with Harlow solid as he fires off warning shots. “I ain’t beefing with them ni*gas, they kids,” he raps. “I should put ’em over my knee and spank ’em/ I was thinking that they would’ve been thankful.”
Jack Harlow – Face Of My City (ft. Lil Baby) (prod. Sonny Digital & CuBeatz)
[Chorus: Jack Harlow]
I’m the face of my city
Cosigned by Diddy
Hard liquor, I’m shitty
Hotel with some bitty
Got her doing my bidding
You changed, no kidding
Wasn’t always this pretty
[Verse 1: Jack Harlow]
Runway me, I’m fitting, fourth-quarter, ninth inning
Ain’t no way we ain’t winning
Back home for a week, ain’t no way we ain’t sinning
If she came to stay with me, ain’t no way she ain’t pretty
Got the 808 hitting
Y’all some internet thugs, won’t come face to face with me
Y’all would hate to play with me
Tummy tuck it one time, she’ll pay to stay skinny
I done been on that road, I done ate some great Denny’s, yeah
And some Cracker Barrel
Little brother with me selling Jack apparel
She a rich girl, she done had Camaros
Cheaper to keep her Willy Caballero
White boy with a little habanero
I just hit a hundred, I was at a zero
I’m a big boss, you just at a bureau
Hometown hero, tell ’em add a mural
[Chorus: Jack Harlow]
I’m the face of my city
Cosigned by Diddy
Hard liquor, I’m shitty
Hotel with some bitty
Got her doing my bidding
You changed, no kidding
Wasn’t always this pretty
[Verse 2: Lil Baby]
I’m the man in my city (Yeah), niggas can’t fuck with me (Nah)
Bookbag three fifty (Cash), got my hand on my blicky
Might swag, I don’t dance for real
First come then I’m paying her bills
Niggas bums, they got nowhere to live
I ain’t chasing nothing but me some M’s
I ain’t beefing with them niggas, they kids
I should put ’em over my knee and spank ’em
I was thinking that they would’ve been thankful
Pretty bitch and she be killing them angles
We turn a killer right into an angel
I start demolishing shit when I’m angry
Boy, don’t be following me, that shit dangerous
Still in apartments, my lil’ hitters banging
I repped my projects before I was famous
Straight from the bottom, you know I ain’t changing
Everything cash, you know how I play it
Fuck like I love her, she know I ain’t staying
Pass her to dog and you know how I’m playing
Act like I’m dumb but you know I ain’t crazy
Big Baby
[Chorus: Jack Harlow with Lil Baby]
I’m the face of my city
Cosigned by Diddy
Hard liquor, I’m shitty
Hotel with some bitty
Got her doing my bidding
You changed, no kidding
Wasn’t always this pretty (Pretty)
