It deals with the theme of police brutality and the concept was inspired by the documentary television miniseries Time: The Kalief Browder Story. In an interview with Billboard, Tory Lanez stated: His story had me surfing the internet to research all the different cases of people who were wrongfully charged and looking up the rate of how many unarmed black people get shot in a year – well in the last year – and then how many of those officers were indicted. It was over hundreds of deaths and the percentage of the officers who were convicted was below one percent.
