Composition and critical reception

edit

In the song, Pooh Shiesty and Big30 rap about keeping and using their guns, as well as their luxury, over an "uptempo synth instrumental".[2][4][5] Aaron Williams of Uproxx wrote that Shiesty "offers up his take on the trap rap staples of choppers, racks, and work, boasting that he keeps his gun closer than a neighbor and threatening anyone 'talking gangster on the net.'"[6]
