Composition
editThe song opens with an "ominous, echoed loop", preceding a hard-hitting beat. It finds Polo G melodically rhyming about his personal struggles and how gang violence has affected him.[1]
Music video
editThe music video was directed by Troy Roscoe.[2] In it, Polo G has been committed to a psychiatric hospital and is wearing a hospital gown. Inside a locked room,[1] he watches videos of his past life on television,[1][3] which show him meeting fans, being questioned by the police and overdosing on pills.[1] Each version of himself from the videos is brought out of their reality and time and to a holding cell. Polo enters and reconciles with his past lives.[3]
