In the song, the five rappers each talk about the need to have a "stick" (slang for a gun) on them at all times in order to protect them from any enemies they may encounter.[1] Horn and gunshots sound effects are spread throughout the song.[2][3]
The official music video for the song was uploaded toYouTube on July 21, 2022. It was directed by Waboosh and Onda.[4][5] It begins with JID on top of a mountain at night, motioning with a gun whileDJ Drama narrates the intro to the album. JID and Kenny Mason then rap on a speedboat with Sheck Wes later standing in front of a militia and helping them gather weapons and get ready for an incoming war. J. Cole comes in last, standing in a room surrounded by special effects such as heat-seeking weapons and green lasers.[1]
Marc Griffin of the magazineVibe described the video as "chaotic" and "unhinged".[1]
