Composition edit
The song finds Kodak Black rapping about his life from being on the streets and in jail to becoming a successful rapper ("I can't let these niggas knock me off my pivot / God sat me down and talked to me I listened"), and "ruminates on his fallen homies" as well.[2][3][4]
Critical reception edit
Patrick Montes of Hypebeast wrote that the song "pairs his unique, charismatic flows with syrupy, bass-heavy melodies."[2]
Music video edit
An accompanying music video was released with the single. Directed by Spencer Hord, the video shows Kodak Black enjoying his freedom after his release from jail, flying on a private jet and reuniting with family.[3][4]
