The song contains a flute instrumental with thumping 808s,[1][2] over which Key Glock raps about his ambition to continue accumulating wealth for his family and never stop working hard.[1] He also compares himself to NBA players James Harden and Larry Bird.[2]

Music video

An official music video was released on October 7, 2021. It sees Key Glock committing a bank robbery with his associates, including Paper Route Empire signee and rapper Snupe Bandz, first posing as customers at the financial institution.[3] Masked and armed with automatic firearms, Key Glock and his crew arrive outside the building at Peachtree Street in a Chevrolet Impala convertible. They shoot into the ceiling and take the security guards and employees hostage, as a bank clerk takes them to the safe at gunpoint and empties the vault for them. In the end, they escape from the police and destroy their car by fire.[3][4]

Acoustic version

On April 27, 2022, Key Glock released a visual of a live acoustic performance, which shows him performing the song on Doyers Street in Chinatown, Manhattan as he is backed by seven flute players.[5][6]
