Background
Tee Grizzley was released from Michigan prison in October 2016 and recorded the song on the same day.[1]
This song is about how he went to jail, what it was like, and how it felt when he was released. The song went viral in a video of then Cleveland Cavaliers player LeBron James taking a video to this song, creating the "LeBron James Challenge", where people post videos of themselves reenacting James's movements in the video.[5] The song gained more traction in 2024 following the song being used in edits of James.
