Lyrics & Translation

Learning a language is not just about vocabulary, but also about understanding culture. In 'SUNDOWN,' Jack Harlow's lyrics are filled with American slang and regional references, like the soda 'Big Red,' that offer a fun and authentic way to learn about life in Louisville, Kentucky. The song's confident and conversational tone also provides a great opportunity to pick up on the natural rhythm and flow of modern American English.

[English]

I'm off a tab of that synthetic

Sundown, 45 minutes 'til this shit set in (Whoop)

Checking for the kid, I had to chin check him

Big move, and we teach 'em big lessons over here (Over here)

2fo coming heavy like we bench pressing

And I'm gon' deliver every time just like a sent message (Yuh)

In the south and I'm feeling like a pimp

You a simp, I don't feel bad bad for you, I ain't sympathetic (Hey)

I just hit the peak, got the kids sweatin'

Out of town chick, tryin' tell her what a Big Red is

I'm a Kentucky boy 'til the death

Go and get it through your head

Until it's motherfuckin' embeded (Hey)

She said that I'm full of myself

Go ahead and bust it open I'ma show you what a big head is (Oh yeah)

Half of us ain't even got a whip and we tryin' grip grain

First step is go and get breaded

Hit you with the words of wisdom (Ooh)

New Balance on me while I'm searching for sun

Trying to touch me out in public 'cause they heard I'm the one

I peel off like my skin when it get burned in the sun (Skrrt)

Self conscious, face blush with ease

Levis put a taper on my dungarees

But I'm still on the block when it's a-hundred-three

And humid in the city, but I'm sitting comfortably, yeah (Hey)

I'm off a tab of that synthetic

Sundown, 45 minutes 'til this shit set in (Whoop)

Checking for the kid, I had to chin check him

Big move, and we teach 'em big lessons over here (Over here)

2fo coming heavy like we bench pressing

And I'm gon' deliver every time just like a sent message (Yuh)

In the south and I'm feeling like a pimp

You a simp, I don't feel bad bad for you, I ain't sympathetic (Woah)
