Gucci’s 2016/2017 collections feature prominent snake prints. The Italian brand is also famous for their python print bags and accessories.

Offset alludes to buying this girl a Gucci accessory using the snake imagery of python/tongue/charm. The “charm' wordplay comes from a false belief that snakes are capable of hypnotizing their prey. Disney’s The Jungle Book has a scene centered around this myth.

Being ten toes (two feet) down means to be 100% committed and determined to achieving a goal.

During an NYU Masterclass in January 2017, Quavo revealed his high school classmates used to laugh at his music, but insisted it didn’t stop him from chasing his dreams:

I passed my first CD out and I got laughed at. Everybody laughed at me. The first intro was like ‘Yeah, this that intro, this that intro, this that intro, welcome to the show.’ So they were saying that the whole time, like every day in school ‘This that intro’ and just laughing at it. But I was in the cafeteria one day, and Offset walked up on me like ‘Yo, that mixtape you just dropped bro? I like it. Put me in the studio bro, let me work with you.’ And I looked at him, and he was the only one in the school that was really rocking with me at the time, that’s on God.

The intro is performed by actor J.R. Starr, known for his performance in films like The Great Venice Robbery and Lust for Love.

At the end of the intro, Sean’s older self gets hit by a car and is reincarnated as his present day self. This is why song two is titled “Light”—it represents walking into the light after you die.

Sean explained the concept of the album on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon:

The concept of the album is this is me & this is an older version of me. It’s parallel right there with each other, but the name of the album is ‘I Decided.’ I realized my whole life changed when I decided. I feel like life is about making right decisions at any point, or the wrong decisions. So the album is basically like having that wisdom of an old man while you’re young and going through life & figuring it out.

This is also represented on the album art. The man on the right is Sean in his previous life.
