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 pivot / 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]
