Roy Wood$ released this song to SoundCloud on April 14th, 2015, his 19th birthday. The song was released three months before Wood$ was signed by OVO. Wood$ uses a guttural flow in this song that is reminiscient of and possibly inspired by Michael Jackson’s singing voice.

A “trap” is a place used to deal drugs, and Fetty’s girl is the queen of it—a “trap queen” is a loyal, street-smart woman. “Bando” is slang for an abandoned building used for whipping, selling, and counting. This is exactly what Fetty’s drug dealing venture needs.
“Bands” are currency bands, also known as bill straps. One band is 100 banknotes of the same denomination, meaning a band of $10 bills is worth $1000, a band of $20 is worth $2000, etc. So “watching how far them bands go” means seeing how far they can get the strapped bundles to stack.
His goal is matching Lambos, which is key, because it means he doesn’t just want his lady to sit in the passenger seat of his car. He thinks she’s capable of getting her own.
He also hits us with some figures. With Fetty, drugs would cost you $56/gram. Buying 100 grams would then normally cost you $5600, but Fetty includes a discount (of $600, making $5000, which he calls “5” here) since you are buying in bulk.

This is the sequel to “Ab-Soul’s Outro” from Section.80. It features similar production, notably with the exact same cymbal riff in the background of the song. Kendrick’s flow is based directly off Soulo’s on “Ab-Soul’s Outro.” Many of the lyrics are also similar to those found on the 2011 collaboration between these two Black Hippy members.
