Background On February 7, 2022, 88-Keys revealed that he produced the instrumental of the song in 2004, as an interlude for his beat tape, The Makings of Crack-Cocaine. The cover art of the single was designed by Sterling Ruby. It shows a "mash-up of melting faces with crude metallic letters" spelling "Diet Coke". Composition and lyrics The song begins with a sample of rapper Fat Joe yelling, "Yesterday's price is not today's price". Over a piano-driven boom bap beat, Pusha T raps about selling cocaine and references his tough upbringing: "Imaginary players ain't been coached right / Master recipes under stove lights / The number on this jersey is the quote price / You ordered Diet Coke, that's a joke, right?" He declares his appreciation for Kanye West as well ("Far as I'm concerned, who's the best? Me and Yezos").
