Why does the song begin how it does?
Genius Answer

The intro to this song technically begins in medias res, meaning it starts in the middle, then returns to the true intro. The song originated as a freestyle on Episode 5 of Kenny Beats’s YouTube series, The Cave, where Zack rapped over the beat in two different takes that were stitched together for the official release.

After Zack Fox says “If it ain’t ‘bout Jesus, I'ma hit you with this K,” he originally rapped some more controversial lines that were cut off, which is why the second take had to happen. Because of this, for the final release, they transitioned straight into the second intro instead. You can listen to and read those controversial bars here:

Died on the cross
He ain’t gone, we all know who killed him
I ain’t gotta say it, it was the Jews
And that’s alright
They had to do what the motherfuck they had to do
Ayy, they had to do what they had to do

ach and I have a lot of mutual friends from Atlanta and he was a big fan of Kee and Enrico. I’d always see him just tweeting about them, talking about them. So, we just became friends. We just became friends via the music and being online and having mutual friends, and then we did some shit in Atlanta together with Red Bull, and that’s how we met. I never decided to have Zach on the Cave. It wasn’t something I wanted to do. I didn’t think it was going to be funny or worthwhile. And he came and my camera man was there, and they were like, “Oh, let’s film Zach. We’ll do a fake one with Zach.” It’s ruining my career slowly. I get to the studio with artists I’ve dreamed about working with my whole career, and they’re like, “Hey, you got something like that depression song?”

How did the song come about?

So, I have a show on YouTube, where I bring real rappers, and they come and make songs and I make a beat. And somehow Zach ended up on it, and he asked for a beat that sounded like sonic crypt walking. He asked for a post-death of Whitney Houston type beat with a domestic violence filter. Normally people just say like, “I want trap,” you know? So it was different, but the beat ended up really bad and the raps ended up even worse.
