Songfacts®:

  • This My Krazy Life track features YG and Kendrick Lamar rapping about using chemical and alcoholic substances to numb the pain over Ty Dolla Sign's sparse bass line beat. "Kendrick told me that when it was time to put out my album he was gonna hop on one of my records," YG told MTV News. "He wanted to hear the whole album, so we played him the whole album and then he heard that song and was like, 'I'm hopping on that, that's the best song on there.'"
