The song features a combination of "placid piano" and "booming bass".[1] Meek Mill's vocals in the song have been described as "furious ranting".[2] He raps about rising to stardom and spending lots of money as he pleases.[3]
Kevin Goddard of HotNewHipHop gave a positive review of the song, writing, "Meek flexes his lyrical muscles and delivers a catchy new baller's anthem for the streets."[4]
The music video was directed by Spike Jordan and filmed in Philadelphia in June 2015. A fight occurred at the set which led to a pistol-whipping incident.[5] The video was delayed in release as a result and was later released on February 21, 2017.[6] It sees Meek Mill and his friends hiding cash inside a house and duffel bags of money being passed around. The rapper joins a block party, with bikers appearing as well.[7]
