The song is a six-minute eerie, rattling song, produced by The Alchemist.[8] The hook which includes the line, "so now we 'bout to break the bank, money be on my mind," sets the tone for the song as Schoolboy Q raps about how he's earned his living.[9] He also counts the spoils of his most recent "rap heist".[10] The production was described as, a "jarring blend of droning piano and old-school, truck-rattling bass" by Consequence of Sound.[11] The music was sampled from "Something is Happening" the fifth track on Man's 1976 album The Welsh Connection.[12]
Complex named it the twenty-seventh best song of the first half of 2014. Angel Diaz commented saying, "This beat is monstrous. [...] Those drums and the piano in the faint distance are just filthy. And ScHoolboy goes the fuck off on this track, making it hard to play this song only once. It's also very hard not to break your neck when this joint comes on."[20]
The chorus emphasizes the importance of money in ScHoolboy Q's mind. It portrays his mindset of breaking the bank, signifying his desire for financial success. The repetition of "la-di-da-di-do" suggests a dismissive attitude towards those who don't prioritize money.
Today the boy was sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court after pleading guilty to holding up a branch of Barclays bank in Breck Road, Liverpool, on Friday September 20 and making off with more than 2,000.
