"Khabib" is Khabib Nurmagomedov, a former professional UFC fighter from Dagestan Republic, Russia, who retired undefeated. The Russian is an inspiration to Central Cee as someone who was formidable throughout his career but remained humble. Here, the West London rapper states his intention to retain his focus like Khabib by keeping the street-life mentality and staying loyal to the homies he grew up with. Central Cee also reflects on his come-up and the pressures and fruits of his rise to fame.
Central Cee ends the track with a clip taken from the UFC 229 weigh-in between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor. A committed Muslim, Khabib thanks Allah for giving him everything. He then states his intention to "smash" McGregor, which he did, winning via submission in the fourth round.
Bad Bunny previously name checked Khabib on his 2920 track about a free-spirited woman, "La Dificil." He raps (translated into English): You see her' in the VIP, model like Hadid Undefeated as Khabib
