Background

In 2019, Kodak Black was arrested for making false statements to buy a firearm and sentenced to 46 months in prison. On January 20, 2021, his sentence was commuted by President Donald Trump.[1][2][3] Following his release, Black tweeted, "I want to thank the president @realdonaldtrump for his commitment to justice reform and shortening my sentence. I also want to thank everyone for their support and love. It means more than you will ever know. I want to continue giving back, learning and growing."[2][3][4][5][6][7]

Content

The song finds Kodak Black reflecting on his release from prison and return to home,[2][4][8] as well as how he wants to spend time out of jail,[8] including getting sushi and some "coochie"[7] and a head massage.[3][8] He acknowledges his lawyer Bradford Cohen ("I told my lawyer, 'Boy, I love you like a daddy'")[8] and the pardon ("Trump just freed me, but my favorite president is on the money").[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] He also shouts out to Yung Miami of City Girls in a reference to his song ("Spent my 'Christmas in Miami,' yeah, Caresha Brownlee").[8]
