The song disses James Rosemond, better known as Jimmy Henchman. 50 Cent and his G-Unit crew have been engaged in a deadly street beef for almost a decade with Jimmy Henchman. 50 Cent mentions the highly publicized beating of Jimmy Henchman's son, allegedly by the hands of G-Unit's Tony Yayo and other members of G-Unit. He also references a shooting that took place at Tony Yayo's house, where his home was sprayed with bullets by gunman paid off by Jimmy Henchman.[2]

"On the phone I heard 'Ye smacked the shit outta a kid Now Jimmy got life, go smack him again. When it's war, it'll be war to the very end If they ever say we lose, I'll start it again That sneaky nigga, spray that Semi at your momma crib With a silencer we couldn't even hear that shit"
