The interludes between verses are different from the version on the album. Whereas the album's version included commentary from Amazing Many Styles Kid Jaz, the single featured Ice-T making blunt comments about the pitfalls of criminal activity. The track ends with Ice-T receiving news about some kids' being shot in Crenshaw. In the video, he shakes his head after hearing this news. The version of the song included on Greatest Hits: The Evidence was the album version. The version on the single was very rare until the advent of the internet and file-sharing.
