Fans are shook as Lil Nas X has delivered with both the vocals and the video of Kanye co-produced hit ‘Industry Baby’.
Here’s a breakdown of the lyrics for the hit.
Baby back, ayy, couple racks, ayy. Couple Grammys on him, couple plaques, ayy – Lil Nas X starts off the song by listing his musical achievements. These accolades are even more impressive considering he only made his industry debut in 2019.
Funny how you said it was the end, yeah. Then I went did it again, yeah – Here, he appears to send shots for people who said he was going to be a ‘one hit wonder’ with his first hit ‘Old Town Road.
Lil Was X and Jack Harlow have responded to comments and shared some extra details.
“White corporate music execs funded a music video with Lil Nas X, where a bunch of Black men are in prison twerking. And the lone white man, Jack Harlow is sexually involved with a FEMALE guard,” one Twitter user wrote.
“But all the Black men are sexually engaging with each other. This is progress?”

[Pre-Chorus: Lil Nas X]
And this one is for the champions
I ain’t lost since I’ve began, yeah
Funny how you said it was the end, yeah
Then I went did it again, yeah
[Chorus: Lil Nas X]
I told you long ago on the road
I got what they waiting for
I don’t run from nothing, dog
Get your soldiers, tell ’em I ain’t layin’ low
You was never really rooting for me anyway
When I’m back up at the top, I wanna hear you say
He don’t run from nothin’, dog
Get your soldiers, tell ’em that the break is over
[Verse 1: Lil Nas X]
Uh, need to, uh
Need to get this album done
Need a couple numbеr ones
Need a plaque on evеry song
Need me like one with Nicki now
Tell a rap n**ga I don’t see ya, hah
I’m a pop n**ga like Bieber, hah
I don’t f**k b*tches, I’m queer, hah
But these n**gas b**ches like Madea, yeah, yeah, yeah, ayy (Yeah)
Oh, let’s do it
I ain’t fall off, I just ain’t release my new sh*t
I blew up, now everybody tryna sue me
You call me Nas, but the hood call me Doobie, yeah
[Pre-Chorus: Lil Nas X]
And this one is for the champions
I ain’t lost since I’ve began, yeah
Funny how you said it was the end, yeah
Then I went did it again, yeah
[Chorus: Lil Nas X]
I told you long ago on the road
I got what they waiting for (I got what they’re waiting for)
I don’t run from nothing, dog
Get your soldiers, tell ’em I ain’t layin’ low (B*tch, I ain’t runnin’ from nowhere)
You was never really rooting for me anyway (Ooh, ooh)
When I’m back up at the top, I wanna hear you say (Ooh, ooh)
He don’t run from nothin’, dog
Get your soldiers, tell ’em that the break is over (Yeah)
[Verse 2: Jack Harlow]
My track record so clean, they couldn’t wait to just bash me
I must be gettin’ too flashy, y’all shouldn’t have let the world gas me (Woo)
It’s too late ’cause I’m here to stay and these girls know that I’m nasty (Mmm)
I sent her back to her boyfriend with my handprint on her ass cheek
City talkin’, we takin’ notes
Tell ’em all to keep makin’ posts
Wish he could, but he can’t get close
OG so proud of me that he chokin’ up while he makin’ toasts
I’m the type that you can’t control, said I would, then I made it so
I don’t clear up rumors (Ayy), where’s y’all sense of humor? (Ayy)
I’m done makin’ jokes ’cause they got old like baby boomers
Turned my haters to consumers, I make vets feel like they juniors (Juniors)
Say your time is comin’ soon, but just like Oklahoma (Mmm)
Mine is comin’ sooner (Mmm), I’m just a late bloomer (Mmm)
I didn’t peak in high school, I’m still out here gettin’ cuter (Woo)
All these social networks and computers
Got these p**sies walkin’ ’round like they ain’t losers
[Chorus: Lil Nas X]
I told you long ago on the road
I got what they waiting for (I got what they waiting for)
I don’t run from nothing, dog
Get your soldiers, tell ’em I ain’t layin’ low (B*tch, I ain’t runnin’ from nowhere)
You was never really rooting for me anyway
When I’m back up at the top, I wanna hear you say
He don’t run from nothin’, dog
Get your soldiers, tell ’em that the break is over
[Outro: Lil Nas X]
Yeah
I’m the industry baby, mmm
I’m the industry baby
Yeah
