Parent Trap Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jack Harlow]
Looking 'round, it's hard to believe where I'm at, uh
Everywhere I look, somebody starin' back, yeah
Paranoid, even out in paradise
Terrified to see my parents pass
Red carpet and some dress shoes
And a pair of slacks
I think I might be gettin' sick of wearin' that
I need some peace and the 'burbs might be where it's at
You know like where them Karens like to they run they errands at
I'm on a journey, man, Jarrett Jack
Got my twin with me like The Parent Trap, there and back
Serenade 'em with the clarinet
I got the tea and I ain't sharin' that
Who the fairest of 'em all? Shawty's been declarin' Jack
Fellas hatin', I don't blame 'em, I mean how unfair is that?
The top is where they like to see you get embarrassed at
Especially when you charismatic and the coppas wear Hermès

[Pre-Chorus: Jack Harlow & Justin Timberlake]
All these airplanes and these checked bags
All these rumors and these unchecked facts
Old friends I forget to text back
Maybe this'll show where my heads at, my bad
(You know)

[Chorus: Justin Timberlake]
Every sky can't be blue
It's hard to see when you're walkin' in the grey
So many flights, look at how the time flew
So many things that I never got to—

Good days, bad days, red lights, fast lanes
Would you never change? Would you be the same?
Just tell me one thing that's true when I ain't up
You hold me down
[Post-Chorus: Justin Timberlake & Timbaland]
You hold me down (Hold me—)
Say you'll hold me down
Hold me down
Hold me down

[Verse 2: Jack Harlow]
You know the squares hate the prom king
You know they prayin' that I say the wrong thing
Look at the disdain that these hit songs bring, huh
I mean I could've kept it niche
But I'd rather see my brothers get rich

Hit the kill switch, hit the slugger field first pitch
Seven-figure brand deals tend to feel worthless

[Pre-Chorus: Jack Harlow & Justin Timberlake]
All these airplanes and these checked bags
All these rumors and these unchecked facts
Old friends I forget to text back
Maybe this'll show where my heads at, my bad (You know)

[Chorus: Justin Timberlake, Justin Timberlake & Jack Harlow, Jack Harlow]
Every sky can't be blue
It's hard to see when you're walkin' in the grey
So many flights, look at how the time flew
So many things that I never got to—
Good days, bad days, red lights, fast lanes
Would you never change? Would you be the same?
Just tell me one thing that's true when I ain't up
You hold me down (Right, right)
[Post-Chorus: Justin Timberlake & Jack Harlow, Timbaland]
You hold me down (Hold me— Right? Right?)
Say you'll hold me down
Hold me down

Hold me down

[Outro: Justin Timberlake & Timbaland]
La, la-la-la, la-la
La, la-la-la, la-la
La, la-la-la, la-la
La, la-la-la, la-la
Hold me down
Hold me down
