The untitled track samples Sean Paul’s 2002 classic dancehall single “Gimme the Light.” Ice Spice raps, “B*tch you’re losing the plot/That’s why I got to the top/ And no I don’t got any opps /Like why would I beef with a flop/Who’s bigger than she?/Who’s prettier too? Me/Who’s bigger than me?”
“Gimme The Light” is one of Sean Paul’s biggest singles to date and is one of the songs that propelled him to international stardom in the early 2000s. The track, which is featured on the Buzz Riddim, produced by Troyton Rami and Roger Mackenzie.
