Composition

The production of the song is built upon sub-bass, [1] horns and drums. [2] In the chorus, Young Thug mentions summoning a club owner to pay him for a walkthrough appearance and says if one snatches his chain he will get it back. He performs the opening verse, in which he details his extravagant lifestyle including the "waterfall" of his jewelry and beautiful women. [3]

Critical reception

The song received generally favorable reviews. Rolling Stone 's Mark Braboy considered it one of the "most exhilarating moments" on Business Is Business, writing "Each of them overdelivers atop grandiose horns and drums, especially Travis and 21 Savage, who link up for a brutalizing verse". [4] Paul Attard of Slant Magazine called Young Thug's lyrics proclaiming he is going to "pull up" and "finger her cat" as "one of his more creative sex brags in a while." [5] Writing for Pitchfork , Paul A. Thompson commented "The song leverages his keen pop instincts and elastic eccentricities at once" and that by the end of Young Thug's verse, his "nods to dull wealth grow syntactically strange", adding "But the oddest thing Thug says is that 'every album got no skippin'': odd not because his LPs are padded with filler, but because there's never been any sense that Thug thinks of his catalog in those discrete, contractually measurable terms." [3]
