“Melodic blue stories, I’m feeling like Baby Keem / I do my own thing, f*** it, I took seven shots, no shame / Back to wall, I’m still gonna blow you down, I ain’t no stain,” Tjay raps.
The documentary style music video mainly focuses on Tjay recovering in the hospital, and being visited by friends and family. However at one point shifts to shows him recording the track with a make-shift studio set up in his room.
