“Private Garden” is a collective of close friends and accompanying artists that support each other in multiple endeavors. Many members of the collective appear as features or producers throughout Harlow’s discography.

Pictured are Private Garden members Lucci, Harlow, 2forwOyNE, Shloob and Ace Pro. Picture taken by PrivateGarden member Urban Wyatt.

In 2018, Jack Harlow signed to DJ Drama’s Generation Now music label. Being an artist for this label comes with perks, and one of those perks is apparently the ability to drive around nice cars owned by its multi-millionaire creator.

A heavy hitter is someone who has high acclaim and is a great asset. Relating this back to the theme of cars, Jack references the infamous Louisville attorney Darryl Isaacs, who often deals with car wrecks and goes by the nicknames “The Heavy Hitter” and “The Hammer”. Isaacs' infamy grew after airing a Super Bowl commercial in 2019.

The Rainbow has been cited by some as, “The first American ship bound for Africa to trade for captives,” as it first set sail in 1645.

The Enterprise was a ship famous for the fact that bad weather forced it into British controlled Caribbean territory in 1835. At the time, Britain had already outlawed slavery in its Caribbean territories. Consequently, Britain freed nearly all of the slaves aboard the ship.

The Katherine is a ship which sailed in the 1830’s whose manifest of captured “cargo”/slaves has been recovered and listed in full.

“Bristol” likely doesn’t refer to a specific slave ship, but rather the heavy slave trade centered around the city of Bristol in the south-west of England. Due to its position on the Avon river, it was a hub for all kinds of trade.

Pictured is an excerpt from the manifest of The Katherine:

The Molly was a slave ship that was believed to first set sail from the UK in 1758. The ship doesn’t have as much available info on it as other entries Lupe addresses throughout this verse, but an account book from the ship—seen below—has been uncovered.

“The Sloop” doesn’t refer to a specific slave ship, but rather a style of slave ships. Sloops were single-masted ships that were typically small in size and couldn’t transport as much cargo as their larger counterparts.

In this instance, the term “count” refers to a “body count”, or the number of people someone has had sex with. Harlow is saying that he doesn’t care about his girl’s body count because he trusts she isn’t giving sex away to just anybody.

As expressed in group member Saba’s solo music, Pivot Gang is the legacy. This line was likely inspired by lines from Saba’s “GREY,” as they are very similar:

Give it my all, these melodies therapy
I keep it thoroughly, PIVOT the legacy

Snoop Dogg is a Crip who frequently wore blue throughout his career. The Blue Man Group is a performance art company known worldwide for painting their faces and bodies completely blue. Chilliams uses this theme of blue to state that the only thing he sees is money, as the new one-hundred-dollar bills have “blue faces”.
