Composition and lyrics

[edit]

The song has an up-tempo beat and finds the rappers taking aim at their enemies.[1] Through a "slightly auto-tuned drawl",[2] ASAP Rocky raps about the problems related to his paranoia and feuds, including losing sleep.[1][2][3][4][5] BlocBoy JB performs after Rocky's first verse without a chorus in between[1] and adds some "Southern bounce" to the song,[6] rapping about his jewelry and gunning down his enemies.[5]

Critical reception

[edit]

Aron A. of HotNewHipHop praised the song, writing "The funky bassline and the flow from both rappers deliver some much needed jiggyness."[7]
