Composition

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 pimpin' / God sat me down and talked to me I listened"), and "ruminates on his fallen homies" as well.[2][3][4]

Critical reception

Patrick Montes of Hypebeast wrote that the song "pairs his unique, charismatic flows with syrupy, bass-heavy melodies."[2]

Music video

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]
