Production

The instrumental for "FuckWithMeYouKnowIGotIt" was started by Vinylz who was inspired by a Pimp C speech he found on YouTube. He sampled his voice for the intro and then created the rest of the song in "like five minutes." After fellow producer Boi-1da did some more work on it, it was sent to Rick Ross who intended to use it for his album, Mastermind.

Timbaland added additional changes to it before the final version was created for the album.
