The track features an aggressive beat over which the Maybach Music general asserts his dominance over the industry. He makes some lofty claims such as MMG being bigger ballers than Sean "Diddy" Combs and his Bad Boy squad. Since Puff is one of Rick Ross' mentors, he made sure to acknowledge there is no beef between them. "Double M, we ballin' way harder than Puff and them / It ain't no love lost, I only see one boss," Ricky Rozay spits.

Although Combs is referenced on "Color Money," he doesn't appear on the song or the album. In fact, none of Ross' MMG artists make contributions to Black Market. It does, however, feature appearances by Mary J. Blige, John Legend, Mariah Carey, and a host of others.
