==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.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Staley|first=Willy|date=April 1, 2011|title=E-40 Breaks Down His 25 Most Essential Songs|url=https://www.complex.com/music/2011/04/e-40-essentials/|url-status=live|website=Complex|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110404095610/http://www.complex.com:80/music/2011/04/e-40-essentials/ |archive-date=2011-04-04 }}</ref>
