About this song
The track alternates between four different flows and shifts from a reflective first part into a more upbeat second verse. The change in cadence and subject matter is meant to push back against the earlier self-doubt and lethargy.
What it's about
The song explores Big Sean's relationship with his inner voice, which criticizes his past mistakes and bad habits and pushes him to stay committed to his goals. It moves from feelings of shame and regret toward motivation and dedication, and it ends with a darker look at intrusive thoughts paired with a positive resolve.
