Composition
The song finds the rappers bragging about their high social status over a trap instrumental.[1]
Critical reception
The song received generally positive reviews from critics. Complex's Jessica McKinney considered it the best song from It's Only Me in a three-way tie, while Eric Skelton and Jordan Rose both considered the song to have the best feature from the album.[2] Shanté Collier-McDermott of Clash commented Young Thug "delivers a non-stop onslaught of bars" and described the two artists as "going back-to-back for a freestyle feeling banger".[3] Joshua Robinson of HotNewHipHop listed the song as some of the more "standout" tracks from the album.[4] In an otherwise negative review of It's Only Me, Stephen Kearse of NPR mentioned it as one of the few songs in which Lil Baby "shakes off the lethargy".[5]
