“My father is from Barbados, from St. Michael’s. My dad’s dad was never a legal citizen of the United States,” East told Apple Music about the song. “He snuck into the country through the Panama Canal and went right to Harlem, right to Morningside Avenue. My father’s father, my last name Brewster, that’s a powerful name in Barbados, but I never really speak on that. People that know know, but I never made that kind of music. And then me and Popcaan connected, and I really was a fan of him. And I said, ‘That’s my heritage. That’s where I come from, so I need to start integrating my hip-hop with that more.’”

Quotable Lyrics
N***as think they rastas they first time watching Shottas
Spot you like binoculars, pull up fresher than Binaca
I’m the fronto smoker, black version of Alejandro Sosa
Shoot up your party before it started, now it’s over
