Songfacts®:

  • This street banger finds French Montana trading verses with Lil Wayne, whilst Kanye West and Mekanics take on production duties. The track begins with a sample from West and Jay-Z's "Niggas in Paris."
  • Rick Ross is assigned to hook duties, in which he pays homage to the incarcerated Gucci Mane; the song was originally titled "Gucci Mane (Lose It)."

    I think I'm 'bout to lose it man
    Said I'm 'bout to go Gucci Mane
    In the trap still countin' change
    Don't f— with y'all cause you n----s lame
    Said I'm 'bout to Gucci Mane


    On May 13, 2014, Gucci Mane pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He agreed to a plea deal which resulted in him being in prison until late 2016.

    Coincidentally, on June 24, 2015 (the same day as this song's release), Rick Ross and his bodyguard were arrested on kidnapping and assault charges.
  • French Montana previously linked up with Lil Wayne and Rick Ross (with the addition of Drake) on his strip club anthem "Pop That."
