Background
The song originally had a different instrumental; Three 6 Mafia member DJ Paul stated that the original had "keys and scary music in it", but remixed the beat one night.[2] He played the new version on the group's tour bus to an overwhelmingly positive reception. The track on Three 6 Mafia Presents: Hypnotize Camp Posse has more instrumental after the final verse, which makes it slightly longer than the one on When the Smoke Clears: Sixty 6, Sixty 1.
