The second verse addresses haters and conflict. Khalib acknowledges the negative attention he receives but compares himself to legendary blues musician BB King, suggesting that he is able to handle the criticism with grace. He also mentions Burger King as a metaphor, implying that if you wear a crown (symbolizing success) you should expect criticism and challenges. The song overall portrays Jah Khalib as a successful artist who values the journey towards success, enjoys the luxuries that come with it, and remains unfazed by criticism. It combines different cultural influences and showcases Khalib's confidence and energy.
