Songfacts®:

This sweary track (the F-word is used 49 times) finds G-Eazy raging against those who are killing his vibe.
The song was produced by frequent Waka Flocka Flame and Future collaborator, Southside. The rapper recalled to The Boombox: "We made a couple of songs, two of them are on the album and then we made the 'Bitch You Got Me F---ed Up' record, we made that one in, like 15 minutes."

"And I remember he was just going through his folder and he played that beat almost skipped it, he only played the first five seconds and I was like, 'Whoa, what the f--- is that? Go back, that beat's crazy.' And what I loved about it is that it's so minimal, it's so simple. And there's only three sounds, but it was the perfect tempo."
