The intro samples NBA star Damian Lillard’s August 11, 2020, post-game interview after a 61-point game. Dame is known by the moniker “Dame Time,” a name he earned from hitting game-winners. The song title may be a nod to Lillard’s nickname and “point to the clock” celebration.
The bookend of the song samples Lillard’s response to the media after hitting the walk-off three against Oklahoma in 2019’s playoffs. The excerpt highlights the theme of the album, which Cole explained in his 2021 interview with SLAM Magazine:
