Background and composition edit
The song was previewed in January 2020, when a video of Offset and NBA YoungBoy recording it was surfaced online. Migos seemingly hinted at its release hours before it arrived.[3] On the track, the trio and YoungBoy talk about their intoxicating and violent lifestyles and how they will protect themselves.[4]
Music video edit
Part of the music video parodies the 1996 film Don't Be a Menace, with Offset in the role of Loc Dog.[5]
