——歌词凸显中式审美。《玉》中,张艺兴将英文惯用表达的“shine like diamonds”改编成“shine like 玉”,将中国审美的独特传递给外界。而不断重复的“玉玉玉玉玉”的hook,最大程度上给歌曲带上了直接、上口的流行元素,这也正是当下嘻哈热单不可缺少的记忆点。而从更高层面来看,在通常多为“金钱、名气、享乐”的嘻哈作品题材中,张艺兴以玉为喻,巧妙表达了中式含蓄且更高的审美取向,称得上是一首彰显中国文化气质的流行嘻哈佳作。

Do you know all the power that you hold baby
My wrist is froze they get blinded by the stones baby
I need it
To keep away the pain
Stay with me everyday
Do you feel the same Oh baby yeah
She always know what I want like she's psychic
You're a super hero baby let me be your side kick
Ain't seen nothing like it
Everything timeless
They've been looking for it
But I know where to find it
玉

With my woo
You still make me nervous but it's cool
That's my lil baby that's my woo
She always know what I want like she's psychic
You're a super hero baby let me be your side kick
Ain't seen nothing like it

But n nobody shine like
自从我随大王东征西战

And nobody shine like you
