Composition and lyrics

[edit]

On August 22, 2023, Gucci Mane announced the release of the song and revealed the cover art on social media.[1] On the song, J. Cole raps about being drug-free but not judging those that indulge in those activities: "I'm a straight shooter, no sugarcoat / No booger sugar, never had a nose full of dope / It's all good folks, cope how you wanna cope / Drink what you wanna drink, smoke what you wanna smoke / Stroke who you wanna strokе".[2] Jordan Darville of The Fader felt that "Cole's verse isn't particularly memorable — you get the sense that he's a bit too relaxed — but Gucci swoops in with a swagger and charisma that endures even if he's miles away from his sonic beginnings".[3]
