In the song, 21 Savage talks about the feelings and experiences of a prosperous gangster. He raps like “Ozium”, the well-known air purifier, about how important it is to constantly remove smoke and keep everything clean. Along with his achievements, 21 Savage brags about owning a coupe similar to Stephon Marbury's and sending his children to private schools to better prepare them for the future. Throughout the song, 21 Savage respects and commemorates the deaths of his friends and family members. He regrets that Skinny, a boyhood friend, died while he was still growing up. He laments the passing of Johnny, one of the gang's brothers. 21 Savage has PTSD as a result of these losses.
