The song thematically represents how even as time goes by and things in your life may change, life repeats itself. Finding yourself in all too familiar situations time after time.
It also features the common themes of hustling and struggling for money.
Freddie cleverly relays this message through...

[Intro]
You caught me by surprise
[Verse 1]
Pippen on the assist
I'm watching Jordan drop a double nickel on the Knicks
That was '95, couple of us ain't live til '96
Gangbanging, 'caine slanging had us caught up in a twist
We was middle school fools, life was rushing past me
Fresh up out Tolleston bus, fighting up at Pulaski
Uncle hit me off with a zip, now I get some cash, G
"Well where you get some money for Nikes?" my mama asked me
Uhh, I got it selling nickel bags
Stress, weed, million seeds, where the liquor at?
Mad Dog 20/20 kept a nigga loose
Murder was the case except a nigga taste the gin and juice
'Cause then we gon' be riding on some bullshit
Shoot up a nigga crib, that's some hood shit
And I can give a fuck who in the house sleep
Waking up the neighbors, shoot my trey eight at the police, bitch
[Chorus]
Uhh, yeah, I got it selling nickel bags, bitch
Uhh, yeah, I got it selling nickel bags
Uhh, bitch, I got it selling nickel bags, bitch
Yeah, I got it selling nickel bags
[Verse 2]
Uhh, chilling with a bitch
Watching LeBron put up 56 on the Knicks
In 2005, police killed my nigga in 2006
Only thing he losing is his pension, ain’t that 'bout a bitch?
If I see that ho, I got a slug for him
I wanna kill him slow like I ain't got no love for him
I wanna torture and burn him, drag him to hell with me
This for my nigga just lurking, working that scale with me
In these last days, on my last page
Fuck a job, I'm whipping this butter cause crime pays
In these last days, on my last page
Fuck a job, I'm serving these cluckers cause crime pays
I'm a lunatic by nature
Yeah, kidnap a family for his paper
Yeah, and if you make it through the day, bro
Yeah, I pray to God I ain't stank ya, bitch
[Chorus]
Got it selling nickel bags, bitch
Uhh, I got it selling nickel bags, bitch
Yeah, I got it selling nickel bags, bitch
Real killer, drug dealer
I got it selling nickel bags, bitch
Real killer, drug dealer
I got it selling nickel bags, bitch
[Outro]
I got it selling nickel bags, bitch
I got it selling nickel bags, bitch
Real killer, drug dealer
I got it selling nickel bags, bitch
Yeah, 17th Ave nigga, Virginia Street
This ain't 2300 Jackson Street, nigga
Real shit, nigga
This ain't no motherfuckin' museum, no motherfuckin' exhibit nigga
Uh, I'm really out here givin' it to these niggas, I'm out here feedin' these young niggas, nigga
I got it selling nickel bags
Giving out turkeys, nigga
Building up courts nigga, you know what I'm sayin'?
Fuck with the youngest nigga
What'cha doin' nigga?
All for a motherfuckin' nickel bag, nigga
Shoutout to my nigga Carmelo, nigga
Get that shit next year, nigga
That block man, that was some bullshit
Shoutout to my nigga Iman Shumpert man
I got it selling nickel bags
I got it selling nickel bags
Lambo! We killed ya'll niggas in the 90's nigga!
MJ, nigga
Fadeaway, nigga
That nigga got us selling nickel bags, bitch
