Jack Harlow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(I wanna, see some ass)
Jetsonmade another one baby
I wanna see some ass
I wanna see some ass
Baby can you do it like that?
From the front to the back
'Til she hit that gas
Ciroc and the puff puff pass
Now the whole squad getting fucked up fast
She said, "Jack, where you been at?"
On the road but I just got back
And I'm, sill flyier than a bitch
And ya boyfriend well he just not that
And I, I don't know how to behave
I'ma tell her be safe
I don't need the pussy
I'ma tell her be safe
I got God with me
And he's telling me things
I wanna see some ass
I wanna see some ass
Baby can you do it like that?
From the front to the back
She said, "I don't wanna move too fast"
'Til she hit that gas
Ciroc and the puff puff pass
Now the whole squad getting fucked up fast, ay
Ooh, I'm just tryna' see some'n
I ain't gotta say it 'cause they know where we from
I got some money out the ATM
But I'm gonna keep some
Strip club, pre cum
Off of the liquor fell in love with a stripper
Now I'm asking where she from
As if we gon' be some'n
I wanna be some'n
Take my number down
You can hit me if you need some'n
Said she got three sons
Do you want four? 'Cause I need one
Do you got whores? 'Cause I'll be one
Going all night like the reruns
I wanna see some ass
I wanna see some ass
Baby can you do it like that?
From the front to the back
She said, "I don't wanna move too fast"
'Til she hit that gas
Ciroc and the puff puff pass
Now the whole squad getting fucked up fast
The song "I WANNA SEE SOME ASS" by Jack Harlow is an explicit track with a contrast of slower tempo and catchy upbeats. The lyrics focus on the rapper's desires to see some "ass" while he's out partying. The opening line, "Jetsonmade another one baby" refers to the beatmaker Jetsonmade, whom Jack Harlow has collaborated with in the past, setting the tone for the party vibes of the song.
The lyrics are predominantly focused on Jack's desire to see some "ass" in the club. Despite this, there are a few lines where Jack shows his playful and humorous side. For example, when he raps "Off of the liquor fell in love with a stripper, Now I'm asking where she from, As if we gon' be some'n", he is trying to make light of the situation and his limited chances of a real relationship with the stripper. While he expresses his desires and makes a few jokes, he ultimately reminds his love interest that he doesn't need the "pussy" but instead has God with him to guide his moral compass.
The song reflects a typical party scene where people are drinking and dancing. Jack Harlow uses his clever lyricism and a touch of humor to convey his desire to see some "ass", giving a lighthearted and almost comedic interpretation to a subject that is often seen as vulgar or derogatory.
