Songfacts®:

  • Tion Wayne has been through rough times in the past, out there on the streets, but now he's on a journey of healing and moving forward from all that madness.
  • On the hook, which kicks off the track, Wayne explains how he's invested bare time and energy into his grind:

    All that time I spent on roads, I'm healin'
    I was in a mad scheme, you know what I'm sayin'?
    Why they wanna mess with my freedom?


    Wayne reflects on the madness he had to go through before finally finding some peace and tranquility in his life. Not all of it was about the music or staying legal, ya get me?
  • It's jokes how things switch up
    Dropped stacks on fancy slippers
    Got twenty guys holdin' heat for me
    Fifteen bags for my girl, no stress
    I made a milli' off this lifestyle
    Didn't even know my crew was lethal


    Now that he's made it, Wayne's lifestyle is lavish as a king's palace. He can splash out a grand on some swanky footwear or treat his girl to whatever her heart desires. However, he still needs to protect himself from his opps.
  • Wayne keeps on flexing hard in the second verse, dropping bars about how he's splashed cash on a fresh whip and copped a brand-new timepiece.

    Look at my ride, dropped stacks on that
    Bought a sick watch, holdin' the Glock
    Spotted an enemy but didn't make a move
    He must be shook, scramblin' off the block
    Even my mum called me a prodigal yute
    Even the opps know I don't need a crew


    Wayne isn't leaving any doubt that those around him knew all along his talent was destined to take him to great heights. He's living the life he always knew he would, and nobody can deny his hustle and success.
  • Crumz and GA's production features a gritty drill sound with a heavy 808 beat. Crumz' other production credits include Amar Koomz's "Pretty One" and Krept and Konan's "I Don't Know." GA also contributed to Kojo Funds' "Dun Talkin'" and Yxng Bane's "Fine Wine."
  • The music video, shot by Wowa, showcases Wayne's style and unapologetic swagger as he and his crew globe-trot across different locations. With scenes captured in Nigeria, London, Ghana, and India, the video is a vibrant blend of cultures and aesthetics. In a heartfelt tribute at the end of the clip, Wayne honors the memory of the late Punjab star Sidhu Moose Wala, who tragically lost his life to gun violence in 2022.
