Jack Harlow = Keep It Light

Ever since dropping “What’s Poppin,’” Jack Harlow has been the man of the hour. With this in mind, it shouldn’t be surprising that fans have been waiting for him to drop his debut album. On Friday, that’s exactly what he did as he came through with That’s What They All Say, which features a plethora of dope tracks in which Harlow showcases his rapping and storytelling ability. One of the tracks that does this best, is the song “Keep It Light.”

Here, we see Harlow over some Harry Fraud production where he is able to float over some gorgeous vocal samples. Harlow raps about his life in Louisville and what it’s like to maintain relationships when you’re so successful. It’s a track that was clearly written from the heart as we see Harlow at perhaps his most vulnerable.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I’m everything that I said I’d be
Everything that I bet I’d be
All the kids that I grew up with
They see me out and congratulate me
Couple of ’em just graduated
Couple of ’em done had a baby
But all of ’em look at my life and say, “That’s amazing”
I say thank you like twenty times
Try to talk about somethin’ else
Reminisce on some funny time
Truthfully, I’m not comfortable with gettin’ all the praise
Even more when y’all get to drinkin’ and start tellin’ me all the things
That you really think
Like what I should’ve done differently
What you think of my energy
The downsides that come with being friends with me
I can tell you think this the realest that anybody’s ever been with me
But luckily I got PG
And luckily I keep them with me

[Chorus]
I keep it humble so you can have a good time
I keep it light so you can have a lil’ shine
And I sleep at night just fine
I tried to be kind
Now I’m speakin’ my mind

[Interlude]
(Time, ah-ah)
I like how you got the vocals (In my time, ah-ah)
Just make ’em like a little less harsh
That’s the only thing
But it’s in that good world (In my time, ah-ah)
(In my time, ah-ah)
Right here? Look
(La música de Harry Fraud)

[Verse 2]
Once people lose touch with ya
They start to hate ya
Start to show you they true nature
Start to be the ones in the comments
That’s talkin’ ’bout you like you a stranger
Talkin’ ’bout ya like y’all didn’t have class together
Talkin’ like you not humble now or you acting better
Speakin’ on the things you’ve done that they haven’t ever
I play the game, you watch the game like Adam Schefter
I created this added pressure
I’m the one that made Jack get better
Tone it down? I could never, ooh
All the greats caught all the hate
All the rappers I love most at one point got called a fake
Everybody seem to know the song that I oughta make
Know the route that I oughta take
I put too much work in to just call it fate

[Chorus]
But I keep it humble so you can have a good time
I keep it light so you can have a lil’ shine
And I sleep at night just fine
I tried to be kind
Now I’m speakin’ my mind

[Outro]
(Time, ah-ah)
I told your brother this, so I’ma tell you this
This is probably advice I keep giving you frequently
And probably will continue to give it to you frequently because
It’s made a difference in my life
Take some moments today during the shoot to look around
Look at the faces of all the people you’ve brought together
Watch their reactions
Look at the joy on their faces
Take a moment to really absorb what you’ve created
What you’re creating
And try to savor it
I know that you and I are built the same and that it’s never enough
There’s always some other thing we want to accomplish, but
Just lean back for a moment today
And really comprehend the greatness that you’ve made
Love you, babe
