In the song, Nav raps in his signature melodic flow while criticizing XXL, boastfully implying he is one of the best new artists of his time; he sings in the hook, "I was made for this shit, rookie of the year / I wouldn't show up for the Freshman list / Your swag expired, you ain't fresh like this / Shit on all my haters, I'ma make them pissed,"[1][2] He later details his rise from producing to rapping.[2]
