This line is sampled from KRS-One’s 1993 track ‘’Hip Hop Vs. Rap‘’.

sampled from 0:22 and 1:28.

The sample for this beat comes from Lissie’s ‘’Pursuit of Happiness‘’.

Production on “Hands on the Wheel” was handled by the DC duo Best Kept Secret, best known for their work on the bulk of Wale’s “Mixtape About Nothing”.

“Hands on the Wheel” gets its central melody from folk singer Lissie’s rousing live cover of Kid Cudi’s maudlin 2009 single “Pursuit of Happiness.” Best Kept Secret loops up the bits about rolling blunts and driving under the influence, and Q and Rocky follow suit with a song fully dedicated to getting shithoused on drugs and drink.

The vocal samples can be heard at 0:26 and 2:17 which include:

Crush a bit, little bit, roll it up, take a hit Feeling lit, feeling light, 2 AM, summer night

Hands on the wheel, uhh, fuck that

Best Kept Secret’s production feels darkly anthemic, an especially impressive feat considering the track’s employment of folk artist Lissie’s cover of Kid Cudi’s “Pursuit of Happiness”, and how icky-sticky hooky it comes off.

Here Giggs points out that he is a major league hustler, because all his moves are clean.

This line is interpolated from the chorus of Sister Sledge’s 1979 classic “We Are Family.”

We are family
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up everybody and sing

The sample for this beat comes from Akira Ifukube’s
‘’Gojira Tai Mosura‘’.

In the year 2000, the films “Boiler Room” and “Charlie’s Angels” both used this track. The Ifukube sample was lifted from the 1992 film “Godzilla vs. Mothra”’s soundtrack.

You can hear the sample at 0:06 which is used for the intro to this beat and throughout which slaps hard:

The beat this sample is used from is mostly known as the sample to Pharoahe Monch’s “Simon Says” and notably he was sued by Ifubuke in 2001 for using the sample without permission.

This beat contains 2 samples:

• Crystal Waters’s ‘’Gypsy Woman (She’s Homeless)‘’

In-house producer Khao slaps the organs over a crackling two-step beat to construct “Why You Wanna.”

You can hear the sample at the beginning where you can tell that Khao slowed down the tempo of the beat to give it that smooth sound:

• Janet Jackson feat. Q-Tip and Joni Mitchell’s
  “Got ‘Til It’s Gone”

You can hear the sample at 2:41 into the track where Q-Tip says:

Now why you wanna go and do that love, huh
Now why you wanna go and do that and do that huh
Now why you wanna go and do that love, huh
Now why you wanna go and do that and do that huh

Which is the hook to this track:

Hey why you wanna go and do that love huh
Hey-Hey why you wanna go and do that, do that
Hey-Hey why you wanna go and do

Here Giggs means it’s the end of the road for his enemy, if ever he sees him in the street, as he would be quick to shoot him down with a .45 pistol.

The people from Peckham are not looking for trouble. All they want is to make some money so that they can at least lead comfortable lives.
