Composition

The song uses a "booming 808" with guitar loops in a trap beat, and finds the rappers narrating the riches from their successes. [2] In the chorus and first verse, Gunna sings about his luxurious ways ("Addicted to sex, I gotta get laid / My jacket Off-White, don't mean that it's beige / I clean that real nice, I don't got a maid / Ape in the night, I'm still rocking Bape"). [3] [4] Lil Baby recollects on hanging out with Gunna and his life: "Me and young Gunna back at it again / We just in New York, double datin' with twins / I just bought a Wraith, I retired the Benz / I fired my bitch and I hired her friend". [4]
