This song starts off with Rod Wave reflecting on his difficult early years on the streets of St. Petersburg, Florida, his come-up, and compulsive hustling. He's getting stressed by all manner of things, including people close to him dying all the time, the police's interest in his previous illegal activities, and his neglect of his girlfriend. Wave feels he will only properly be able to rest and find peace when he dies. During the second half of the song, Wave continues to reflect on his death and the legacy he wants to leave behind. He wants his tombstone to say he was "the truest in the game."
Rod Wave wrote the song with the track's producers. They are: Jai Beats, who also co-produced the Soulfly tracks "Shock da World" and "Calling." Saucii, for whom this is his first credit on a major artist's album. Eighty8, who also co-produced the Soulfly tracks "Pills & Billz" and "Believe Me."
Wave released "Tombstone" as the second promotional single from SoulFly on March 23, 2021. The record continues his melancholic storytelling about his life and upbringing following his breakthrough singles "Heart On Ice" and "Rags2Riches."
