The project opens on an anthemic note with the Gospel-infused "I GOT TIME" featuring a Nigeria-based choir, Epoch House garnishing the track with angelic melodies while Mavigan reflects with a playful tone on how rappers often overcompensate with bragging on tracks. This is followed by the Mortgage Freeman skit "ANTIQUES ROADSHOW" which is introduced by Morgan Freeman voice impersonator Joshua Deming who does a brilliant job with it. Mavigan now shifts into reflective mode once more on "GRAPE DRINK GROUPTHINK (FOOLIOS)," where he reminisces on his friends, the shenanigans they all got into, and how life made them grow apart and lose touch with one another.
"THE LIVES OF OUR DAYS" is a warm and solemn track that explores Mavigan's humble beginnings when he had no worries and being raised in poverty made him grounded. Lines like "the days of no work, playing Gameboy in church/double XXL, Miss Cleo in next tail ???/ The man on the corner, who reminds you/ The moments you forget are the ones you rewind to " capture the innocence of his youth while the soothing chorus by Carolina White help sum it up further. Mavigan gives us some more intimate reflection on his life on the track "WAYNE & GARTH" where he tells a story about personal loss and the aftermath of gun violence. The project closes out with another monologue skit from Mortgage Freeman on "THE BEST KIND OF LEPROSY" who gives us a monologue about what true love tastes and feels like. This leads to the final track "AFTERLIFE AFTERWIFE," where Mavigan pours adulations on his significant other who brings light and joy into his life.
