Songfacts®:

  • Here, A Boogie wit Da Hoodie raps about how maintains a good life, even when people are frustrating him. "I feel like if you feel a type of way about me, that means you really gotta be hating," he told Genius. "'Cause I don't go texting this nigga, this nigga, this nigga. Throwing subs at me and all that. Just come holla at me. Tell me why you don't f--k with me right now. Tell me what's going on."
  • A Boogie turned a bad incident into a happy-sounding song after hearing producer Ness' beat. He recalled:

    "I got pulled over on my block. This is my first time getting pulled over on my block. I pulled over in a good car for the first time. I usually go black truck. I don't really want nobody knowing who's in the truck because it be cabs like that. But this time, I pulled up in the Beamer, tints, and they pulled me over like, 'Who's in the car?' It was like, 'Damn. I deadass did not do one move for them to pull me over.' And they talking about the tints thing. I don't see no reason for them to pull me over for tints. That s--t is crazy. So, I went home later on that day and I laid that track down, right away."
  • During the second verse, A Boogie borrows some lyrics and the melody from "Drowning (Water)."

    Then look at me now, bitch I'm drowning
    And my hoodie Saint Laurent, it's a thousand


    On "Drowning" he says:

    Wrist so icy, wonder why she like me, bitch I'm drownin'
    In water, I just bought a Cuban, dipped it in a fountain
