The first verse is delivered by ScHoolboy Q and touches on his past as a gang member and drug dealer, referencing his desire to rise to the top with his illegal activities. He speaks about the police and institutional racism, accusing them of wanting to harm the Black community. ScHoolboy Q also references his brain damage and addiction to drugs, which have affected him in the past. He ends the verse stating his need to drop his public image, indicating that he wants to be true to himself instead of portraying an image for others.
Jadakiss comes in with the second verse, which continues with the themes of violence and drug dealing. He speaks of robbing and murdering people for money and power. He uses vivid imagery to describe his violent actions, mentioning shooting someone through their car and leaving them dead. Throughout the verse, Jadakiss portrays himself as a ruthless, heartless individual who will stop at nothing to get what he wants.
The hook repeats the first two lines of ScHoolboy Q's verse, and the outro features a sample of dialogue from the movie "The Five Heartbeats". The song as a whole conveys a sense of gritty realism and raw emotion, showcasing the harsh reality of life in the inner city.
