The Needlz-produced track was released in September 2006 on his debut album Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor.
In the opening verse, Lupe first acknowledges his own hypocritical tendencies during his younger years, and even more so the overbearing presence of hypocrisy in the modern rap scene.
Afterward, he makes reference to the fact that contemporary rap music is being flooded with the glorification or subliminal promotion of misogyny, drug-dealing, materialism and violence.
Despite his evidently strong opposition for such distasteful music, Lupe contradicts himself by questioning whether or not hip-hop should be criticized for such things.
Consequently, in the three different hooks, Lupe speaks as a representative for numerous anonymous people suffering from this corruption, still bearing the general theme that virtually everyone on earth is susceptible to misfortune.
