Starting the track off with lines from his JAY-Z collaboration “Money, Cash, Hoes,” DMX goes into a track that, according to producer Swizz Beatz, was only intended to be a quick skit:
X used to always say, ‘My niggas.’ One day he was just humming and mumbling it in the studio. I had this weird beat for it. I remember it was only supposed to be a skit. He ended up going on longer than the skit and it became a song.
