Over a bounce-inspired beat, [3] [4] the song finds the rappers delivering rapid-fire rhymes. [4] In the chorus,NLE Choppa interpolates the refrain of "What we doing? Makin' money / What they doing? Hatin' on us" from the hook of "Stuntin' Like My Daddy":"Don't be worried 'bout what we be doin' / What we doin'? Makin' money / What they doin'? Hatin' on us". [3] [5] [6] Then in the post-chorus,he raps in the flow of "Back That Azz Up" by Juvenile [3] and acknowledges Lil Wayne's deep cut "Private Dancer" [6] ("Big booty bitch,made her back her ass up / Shots out the switch made him bag this man up / Say that she yo bitch,she my private dancer / You can call her phone,but she ain't gon' answer". [3] In addition,Choppa details his influence from Wayne:"From the city of Memphis,we known for mackin' and pimpin' / But I'm a hot boy,I can't lie,I got some Weezy up in me". [4] [7]
The music video was released alongside the single. Brad Callas and Zach Dionne of Complex commented it has "arguably,some 'Fireman' video vibes from the Carter II era." [6] Directed by Zaeim,it sees NLE Choppa and Lil Wayne rapping while surrounded by twerking women and features a Hollygrove sign. [3] [6] Toward the end of the video,an aspiring rapper gets out of a car to rap for Choppa. [3]
