Apollo turns in a compelling performance on the song while touting his emcee prowess. (“Lyrically I’m a prophecy, ain’t no stopping me, and I do this sh*t properly”)  The Canadian rhymesayer narrates his non stop hustle. Apollo makes it clear that honing his mic skills and developing himself as an artist is his main priority The light, percussion-laced beat combined with Apollo’s above par lyricism results into a song that’s a bona fide hit.
