Songfacts®:

  • This is the lead single from American rapper Birdman's fifth studio album Bigga Than Life. The song serves as an ode to the Cash Money supremo's riches and features rappers Lil Wayne, T-Pain and Mack Maine from his label.
  • Birdman told MTV News that inspiration was liable to strike him at any given time when recording for Bigga Than Life. "We work whenever we wanna work,' he explained. "We always have to have access to a studio, 24/7. We couldn't be on tour if we didn't have a way to record or if Wayne didn't have it. So whenever we wanna work, we can. That's how we live life: we do how we want to whenever we want to."
  • Birdman has a credible source to back up his boasts in this song: At the time the song was released in March 2011, Birdman's net worth was estimated by Forbes to be $100 million, making him the fourth wealthiest rapper after Diddy, Jay-Z and Dr. Dre.
