The track opens with LA native/self-proclaimed G.O.A.T, K. Dot, and the song serves as an introspective record for Lamar, Miller, and Gates.

On the track, Kendrick raps:

Tiremarks and gun smoke stories / OGs remincise and show glory / I’m hoping you make a way out / Before this MAX-11 do it for me
