A$ton Matthews revealed to Billboard that the song was recorded months before P's death. On working with Prodigy, he said, "For me, I’m still working my way up in this rap shit, so for him to bless me with this verse is something legendary. I'm forever grateful for what he did for this game, and the influence he gave me, as well as the rest of the world."
Quotable Lyrics
Weird n*gga got his life lit
He was on the corner with them demons
You know, that's what the life get
Thought he was a stoned cold block made of iron
This n*gga just a soft, warm, piece of shit lyin'
