I took care of a lot of things on it and not to say that my other albums were not good, but I just got to put more work into the making of this one.'[8]

Originally 160 songs were recorded for the album, taking over a year to make. He described the process as 'learning how to ride a bike.' asserting to the fact that the basis of the album developed deeper into production. The album was also influenced by the 1994 film Fresh, In the song 'Lil' Boy Fresh' he loosely summarizes the story from beginning to end.[8]

You know Im five years old now right
Yeah I know man you gettin' big tell me about it what's good
It's crazy man, you know my teacher

What, she asked for my autograph in the class
I had to tell her man I'm here to learn
This ain't the time or the place for that
You crazy man say word
Word
You a trip lil' nigga you know that,
What you tell her after that
I said a dipset bitch
A a a, come on man you cant be doin it like that at five man,
You got to get another decade with you at least
You know that you the only thing they talk about in my school
Word
Not cause you that nigga
Why
But because I'm that nigga
You all I talk about
That's what's up that's what's up
Some of the kids can hardly talk
Yeah word
There fore you gotta make it happen
Know what I'm talkin' bout
Yeah yeah I know what you talkin' about nigga I know
Word uncle Ju Ju
Yo man come on man you gotta stop
With that uncle Ju Ju shit man know what I mean

And let everybody else call you Juelz aight
Aight
Other than that I just wanna tell you I love you
Aw I love you too man
Wo wo wo, dont be gettin all mushy on me man,
It's time to do it big, now lets go
Now that I've got your attention

What you about to witness is something that you haven't been witness'in
