It was also made available with the pre-order of the album on iTunes. The song was recorded in 2012 around the release of Kendrick Lamar's Good Kid, m.A.A.d city, being one of the older records featured on the album he raps: "Tell Kendrick move from the throne, I came for it," referencing Lamar's recent rise to superstardom. This was one of the first records recorded for Oxymoron.

The song is a six-minute eerie, rattling song, produced by The Alchemist. The hook which includes the line, "so now we 'bout to break the bank, money be on my mind," sets the tone for the song as Schoolboy Q raps about how he's earned his living. He also counts the spoils of his most recent "rap heist". The production was described as, a "jarring blend of droning piano and old-school, truck-rattling bass" by Consequence of Sound. The music was sampled from "Something is Happening" the fifth track on Man's 1976 album The Welsh Connection.
