Background

A phone call is heard in the beginning of the song. In an interview with Complex, E-40 revealed that it was an actual call, from his cousin Kaveo, who had been telling E-40 about his time in penitentiary. E-40 dedicated the song to "the struggle and all the people that's incarcerated", and used it to explain the hard times in his life.[1]
