The Houston artist formerly known as Short Dawg just dropped a new track, featuring veterans 50 Cent & 2 Chainz. Fre$h tells The Fader that the song was inspired by "necessary pettiness," and the chorus makes that apparent, presenting a series of scenarios in which pettiness is clearly the best response. This is the second 50 Cent feature to drop today, and this time he lays down a full sixteen instead before 2 Chainz finishes things off. The production is ice cold, with a reversed synth loop and some distorted drum drops. 

Quotable Lyrics

Roll up a joint and I'm gon pass it to no one I'm just bein' petty
Fuck in the night and mornin' times I pay for the telly
Stingy like an only child I'ma hold it down, 
Spend a couple thou for a pack of loud
Nigga I will front on you, backin' down down down down

- 2 Chainz
