It means 'I'm back, and I'm better than ever. When you cause hell everybody know about it, and everybody know what's up with Boosie... I'm finna open up everybody's eyes. Even the people's eyes who was closed, who was doubtin' me. I'm finna touch down, cause hell, and just take over the rap game, period.[4]

An honest man now doing honest work, his mental clarity benefits his lyrical directness. The end result is an album that is as much a wild party as it is brutally honest. In achieving each of these goals without feeling too much like it’s placating Boosie’s lifelong fans or pop radio expectations, it excels in walking a fine line and being a tremendous listen."[10]
