The track features [[Rosie Gaines]] and [[Tony M.]] on some vocals, and uncredited strings by [[Clare Fischer]]. |

[[Thunder]], [[Daddy Pop]], [[Diamonds And Pearls]], [[Cream]], [[Strollin']] and [[Willing And Able]] are mentioned. As in other cases where this technique has been used by [[Prince]], the rap highlights changes that the album’s tracklist went though: [[Horny Pony]] (instead of [[Gett Off]]) is mentioned immediately following [[Willing And Able]], since that track was placed there at the time [[Push]] was recorded. These rap lyrics from [[Push]] are included on the back cover of the [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]] album packaging (with "Gett Off" written over "Horny Pony"). The track was not included on the December 1990, configuration of [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]], indicating that it may not have been recorded yet, but was included as the eleventh track on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March_1|1 March 1991]] and [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/May 8|8 May 1991]] configurations, where it remained for release. |
