In the song's chorus, Gunna acknowledges the financial losses, mental health struggles, and dissolved friendships he has experienced: “Yeah, I'm right back and I lost mad commas/I had been down bad inside a dark tunnel, yeah/F*** them boys, I found out who my real partners.”
Gunna doesn't hold back in targeting his own lawyers on the track, expressing his frustration with the court process. He accuses them and the district attorney of being deceitful: “Never gave no statement or agreed to take no stand on 'em… Lawyers and the DA did some sneaky sh**, I fell for it.”
