Composition
Over a trap[1] and plugg instrumental,[2] the song begins with the chorus, in which BossMan Dlow brags about earning money through illicit means[1] and that he can teach his methods to others.[1][2] In the first verse, he reflects on his past crimes and current success and lifestyle, such as making money, driving fast and receiving many calls and texts on his phone.[1]
Critical reception
Peter A. Berry of Stereogum described the beat as "subdued, yet stylish". He also commented on the song, "BossMan gets off shit talk with ease, making street logistics sound like just another day at the office" and "Slick, yet emphatic, it's a level of cool you can't teach."[2]
Remix
The official remix of the song was released on March 25, 2024. It features a minute-long verse from GloRilla,[3] who raps about outdoing her competition,[1] her New Year's resolution of celibacy,[3][4] and knack for winning over male partners, before ending with a reference to the Evil Queen from "Snow White".[1]
