Songfacts®:

  • Wiz closes his sophomore album, O.N.I.F.C., with this Danja Hills produced track. He told Artist Direct why he chose this song to conclude the set. "The end is important," he explained, "because there's always a new beginning after the end for me. I'm constantly releasing new music so I never close it out fully. That's why I think it's such a good song to have at the end. It leaves everything open for reinterpretation. You can go back in and listen to the album more. Also, you're waiting for the next one."
  • Khalifa is open about his use of cannabis, and this cut is yet another one to add to his weed-inspired oeuvre. The Pittsburgh spitter has claimed in interviews that he easily spends more than $10,000 a month on marijuana.
