When Gillum was in the first grade, his mother left his father, an associate professor of art at CSU Fresno. Gillum moved in with his grandparents in Berkeley, California, where he attended Berkeley High School. They later moved to North Oakland, although Gillum continued to attend school in Berkeley.

The lyrics of G-Eazy's hit song "No Limit" reflect the rapper's brash, confidence and thirst for money and success. The lines "If I hit it one time I'ma pipe her, If I hit it two times then I like her, If I f**k three times I'ma wife her" reflect the idea that he is only interested in a woman if she is willing to have sex with him multiple times, which is a demeaning and objectifying message. He also brags about the hundreds of thousands of dollars he keeps in his safe and his ability to turn any situation into a party or a nightclub.
In the second half of the song, Cardi B joins in with her own bold lyrics about sex, money, and power. She brags about her own career and accomplishments, saying "My career takin' off, These hoes jogging in place" and referencing her hit song "Bodak Yellow" with the line "Pussy poppin' on the charts". She also disses her haters and anyone who tries to look down on her, saying "Can you stop with all the subs? Bitch I ain't Jared".
Overall, the lyrics of "No Limit" depict an unapologetic pursuit of money, fame, and sexual conquest, with little regard for anyone else's feelings or the consequences of one's actions.
