Revolt commented that "the opening track, "Fire In My Heart <3" is a previously leaked offering that quickly reminds listeners why the Canton, Ohio talent holds his position as one of the best of his generation, delivering harmonies about women, violence, vices, and more over production from Loesoe and Supah Mario".[10] Our Generation Music described the song as "another anthemic rage banger for the books".[7] The song is divided into two parts separated by a beat switch; the first part, previously known to fans as "Pour a 4 Up", had leaked on 22 April 2021.[11] Lyrically, the first part of the track concerns Redd's rise to fame and his origins.[11] His line "Say I need God, wasn't no Jesus in them 'partments" refers to the absence of any comfort associated with figures such as Jesus in his youth.[11] By contrast, the second part of the track concerns the problems his fame generates, such as false friends and gold digger women.[11] The second track, "Ready For Love", was originally known to fans as "Cupid" and was recorded on 3 January 2021.[12] Trippie Redd previewed the song many times before it leaked on 21 April 2021.[12] Its intro samples a short video from the video-sharing application Vine.[12] Amidst lyricism regarding love, Redd likens himself to a shark as he previously did on Neon Shark vs Pegasus earlier in 2021.[12] The next song, "So Thankful", was known to fans prior to the mixtape's release as "Clash of Clans" due to the previewed lyric: "This the war of the gods, not no Clash of the Clans".[13] Most of the lyrics see Redd tough talking.[13]
In the fourth track, "Red Line", Trippie Redd advises the listener not to cross the eponymous metaphorical red line or face retribution.[14] The next song, "Throw It Up", features similar lyrical themes of arrogance and boasting.[15] Amongst the references he makes in the song is to the fictional drug "WHY-PHY" from the movie 22 Jump Street.[15] "I Got Game", the sixth song, was previously known to fans as "Hall of Fame".[16] "Mud" was first recorded on January 5, 2021 and was previewed by Redd on the same day. The song leaked on 18 February 2021.[17] Both "I Got Game" and "Mud" lyrically revolve around Redd's pride for his stature.[16][17] The eighth track, "Forever Young", was previewed multiple times in June 2021.[18] Before release, it was known to fans as "Digital".[18] Lyrically, Redd refers to his desire for eternal youth and his gratitude to God for avoiding excess legal troubles.[18] The final and bonus track, "Hate", features two artists from Redd's roster: Zelly Ocho and K Suave.[19] The three rappers trade bars in the first verse, and afterwards there are consecutive verses delivered by the three artists in succession.[19] All verses refer to the rappers' fame and repute.[19] In 2025, Ocho re-released the song as a single available on major streaming platforms, with Redd and K Suave credited as features.

Critical reception
Michael Saponara of HipHopDX reacted very positively to the mixtape, writing: "Trippie stars front-and-center standing alone to carry the effort with the only guest[s] coming on the ninth and final bonus track "Hate" ... The 22-year-old gets experimental with catchy hooks and syrupy rhymes over starry production where he seems to be most comfortable in his own world."[5] Likewise, Alexander Cole of HotNewHipHop commented that "[t]he only song with features is the bonus track, and throughout the first eight songs, Trippie does a great job of carrying the load." Cole also praised the catchiness of Redd’s hooks and praised the mixtape’s production, concluding that "[i]f you've been a fan of Trippie for a while, this EP [mixtape] is going to be a must-listen."[20]
