Composition and lyrics
Lyrically, Gunna addresses his 2022 arrest alongside YSL founder and label boss Young Thug and other members of the label as he also addresses people deeming him a "snitch" after being released after taking an Alford plea months before Thug, who was still incarcerated at the time of the release of "Bread & Butter", which is a rhythmic trap song. On the song, Gunna calls out people who referred to him as a "snitch" following his release from jail in late 2022 after being arrested earlier in the year: "Never gave no statement or agreed to take no stand on 'em / Whatever you niggas on, then trust me, I'ma stand on it / Lawyers and that DA did some sneaky shit, I fell for it / On my P's and Q's because this time I be prepared for it". He also references former friends of his that turned against him once he was free again after believing that he took the stand on Young Thug and other friends: "Peepin' shit, I'm seein' n-ggas fall back / You bitch-ass n-ggas got me as the topic of the chat / You switched on me when you know you in business with a rat / And the boy that's like your brother, and nobody speak on that".
