In a recent interview, Kap G told The Fader:

I wrote this song two years ago, out of frustration from being pulled over for no reason after leaving a studio session. I didn’t think much about who would hear this song when I recorded it, I just knew that this feeling was too painful and demeaning to not speak on it. I felt, as a young Mexican American writer, artist, and youngin, that it was my responsibility to give a voice to this feeling that sooo many young minorities were dealing with.
