Composition

In the song, both rappers sing about the struggles of their past and overcoming them.[2] NLE Choppa mentions his use of drugs and its impact on his health in the chorus: "I just copped the Range Rover with some forgis / Sipping codeine, feeling like a dope fiend / He say I'm not a killer that nigga don't know me / My OG told me put in work when I was 14."[3] In his verse, Choppa melodically raps about the what has shaped his mentality ("They tell me think smart, I know right from wrong / They say I'm going to get life with this dirty chrome).[4]

Music video

The music video was released on October 23, 2020. It opens with NLE Choppa in the backseat of a Land Rover, telling a story of how an "OG" saved his life. He then raps, as he rides to an airport where Lil Baby is.[5][6]
