Jack’s god daughter ZaZa is a young star. She posts videos dancing to Jack’s music and has her own viral song: “What I do?”.

The state of Georgia is known for producing peaches. From this fact comes the classic term for a beautiful southern girl, a “Georgia Peach”. Jack connects this idea to Super Mario’s beautiful damsel in distress, Peach.

Jack Harlow is from Louisville, Kentucky. Many people within the city refer to it as “The Ville”. With the girl Jack is talking about being from California, a place nearly everyone can point out on a map, Jack is implying that his city hasn’t yet been put on the map—or became popular enough to be known by the general public. By shouting out his city throughout much of his music, Jack is looking to change that.

Pictured below is where Louisville is literally located on the map.

Referencing his 2015 debut album T R A P S O U L, Tiller states that the “old him” is holding himself back. On the surface of the song, this demeanor seems to be a reference to struggling in the every day facets of life. However, when you look deeper, more context arises that relates this demeanor directly to music. After releasing the aforementioned T R A P S O U L, the album quickly went platinum and many people were hailing Tiller as the next big thing in music. In 2017, he followed up with his next big release, True to Self. The album was not met with anywhere near the positive reaction of his debut and Tiller would go on to blame depression for one of the reasons the album didn’t live up to its predecessor:

Here, Tiller is making a promise that his future isn’t trapped within that debut project and that he will soon be back on top of the music industry.

TARC (Transit Authority of River City) is a group of public transportation buses that travel throughout Louisville and Southern Indiana. The 18 is one of the more popular buses as its route travels across basically the entire city. One of the locations it passes through is the Newburg neighborhood on the South side of Louisville.

Pictured below is the route for the 18.

Cold Hart makes a reference to Edward Scissorhands from the 1990 film, Edward Scissorhands. As the name would suggest, the main character has literal scissors that make up the construction of his hands.

This reference leads to the comparison that, just as Edward has the ability to literally cut people with his hands, Cold Hart can “cut off” —or stop talking to— girls without any warning. Furthermore, throughout the film, Edward’s character is constantly misunderstood as his appearance strikes fear in others. In reality, Edward is actually a gentle and caring soul. Just as characters in the film misunderstood Edward, the girls Cold Hart goes after often misunderstand him and his true intentions.

Coldy is quoting Lil Peep’s hook in “4 Gold Chains”, but puts his own spin on it.

Four gold chains, gave two to my brothers (two to my brothers)
