The song features heavy guitar production, as well as trap drums in its instrumental.[4] It sees 42 Dugg and Roddy Ricch rhyming about their lavish lives, such as cars and women,[5] as well as their loyalty to their crews.[6]
Music video
The music video was released on April 29, 2021. It opens with Roddy Ricch being interrogated by police about 42 Dugg's whereabouts. When he refuses to give information, the agents go on a manhunt,[7] but Dugg, who is hiding in a trailer at a junkyard, arranges for "redneck denizens" to ambush them and trap them in the trunk of their own car. Dugg and Ricch are also seen rapping in front of a burning Confederate flag.[6]
