In Lil Nas X & Jack Harlow's hit song INDUSTRY BABY, the two rappers celebrate their success in the music industry and their impressive track record. The opening lines suggest that they have made a lot of money and won several awards, including a couple of Grammys and plaques. They add that they are not done yet; they still have more to achieve, and they need a couple of album and song hits to top it off. They also address their detractors, who did not believe in them from the beginning, insisting that they will keep rising and achieving their goals.
The chorus reiterates their success, saying that they have not lost since they started their careers. They point out how people previously thought they were finished, but they came back and broke records again. Lil Nas X addresses his sexuality and how he is different from most rappers, acknowledging that he has faced some backlash because of it. The rappers mention numerous pop culture references, from Justin Bieber to Tyler Perry's character Madea, pointing out how they have surpassed many of their haters and how proud their OGs are of their success.
Overall, the song is a playful and confident celebration of Lil Nas X and Jack Harlow's impressive achievements and their determination to keep rising to the top in the cut-throat music industry.
