Background

The song, which features and was produced by Mr. Porter, was the first song Young Buck wrote where he felt he didn't need to make changes. He was inspired by his childhood, and by thinking what life was like for his father and grandather. The beat has a '70s/'80s feel to it, and Young Buck spoke of the song as, "Look at me now: from pennies to 20s, from hoopties to Bentleys. It's basically a song taking you from point A to point B."Shaheem Reid (16 March 2005).

Music video

The video was directed by the Saline Project. It features Young Buck and Mr. Porter in a car on their way to pick up Tony Yayo. On the way, scenes from Young Buck's youth plays as he reminisces. The song changes towards the end, into 50 Cent singing the hook of "Bonafide Hustler" as the video focuses on Tony Yayo whilst he waits to reach his destination on a bus. The song is cut to show only Tony Yayo's verse. By the end of the video, Tony Yayo reaches his destination and greets Young Buck and Mr. Porter.
