In this song, Cole wants people to get off his case and let him do his own thing now that he's famous (The title stands for "Get Off My D--k"). It also finds him addressing his Hollywood persona and mocking the misogynist, hedonistic and violent themes prevalent in club records. He interpolates Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz's 2002 party record hit "Get Low" whose subject matter is about drunken men delighting in oggling females dance suggestively at a club.
The Lawrence Lamont-directed cinematic video was filmed in Louisiana. It finds Cole playing the role of a house slave, who starts a revolt. The rapper and his fellow slaves capture and tie up the master, take over the plantation, start a bonfire and celebrate freedom. Cole told SaintHeron.com his intention for the clip was to make a strong call for unity. "The video is really more of a commentary on the need for unity and togetherness more so than it is a comment on racism, because [the black community] knows—we all know about oppression. We're all aware of that," he explained. "What we're not aware of is the dysfunction within our own community," Cole continued. "You know what I mean? The fact that there are levels to us economically and because of the different skin colors within our own race. We're not aware of that. We're aware of the other s--t."
Cole had the video concept in his head for a couple of years and originally intended to use the treatment for his Born Sinner track, "Chaining Day."
