Background and composition

In an interview with HipHopSite.com, Prince Paul said that the sample looped in the song was produced by RNS.[1] The story of the song is set in a courtroom,[2] where a man possessed by evil spirits confesses to a murder and his story behind it, over a loop of haunting vocals.[2][3]
