Composition edit
"3 A.M." is a storytelling song that delves into the mindset and actions of the protagonist during the early hours of the morning. Bennett paints a picture of a person contemplating committing a robbery, despite having responsibilities and a child at home. He talks about his intention to take advantage of someone's wealth and the risks involved, as the person he plans to rob may be armed. He expresses a willingness to use violence if necessary. The song also touches on the presence of a woman accompanying the victim, with Von considering the possibility of including her in the robbery, finally realizing that that girl was his sister. King Von emphasizes his reputation for being dangerous and willing to retaliate against those who disrespect him and emphasizing a "do or die" mentality. Overall, the song portrays the dangerous world the protagonist exists in, his willingness to engage in criminal acts, his disregard for consequences, and his determination to assert dominance in his environment.[4][5] AudibleTreats qualifies it as : "A quick-hitting drill banger with a snide sense of humor and a beat from Von’s favorite producer Chopsquad DJ".[3]
