Background

Tee Grizzley stated that "the title of this album is my whole life in one sentence", further explaining that "the songs on the album and the things I refer to lyrically on each track reflect pieces of my real life.

The font of the songs written in the track listing of the album is also the same font that is used in the series of action-adventure game Grand Theft Auto, which Grizzley is an avid fan of, as he created a Grand Theft Auto "Grizzley World" server that he played fans snippets of songs from the album a few days before it was released and also made a gaming team called Grizzley Gang Gaming.[2]
