The song's lyrics recommend the use of music and dancing to feel good rather than using drugs: "The dope I'm selling you don't smoke / You feel out in the dance floor on my world tour / I'm selling dope in each and every record store". However, the anti-drug theme was interpreted as having the opposite message, possibly as a result of misinterpretation of the context of the title, and ignorance as to the actual lyrical content.

The song was produced by Ice-T and Afrika Islam for Rhyme Syndicate Productions. It contains a sample from "Pusherman" by Curtis Mayfield.
