The song features a trap beat. Both rappers perform the hook in a repetitive style as well as "lengthy verses". Scott performs the opening verse, celebrating his success as a rapper, while Future sings the closing verse. Music video
The music video was directed by Philip Andelman. It opens with Southside smoking marijuana and staring at himself in a mirror, and takes place in a dark motel filled with flashing lasers. Travis Scott walks a domesticated crocodile with a chain leash as he raps, while Future performs his verse in a red room. The rappers are accompanied by a stripper dancing on a pole. Charts
