01Background
In October 2018, Key Glock broke down the lyrics of the song on Genius's Verified, where he said:
Russian cream is my favorite Backwood, the best Backwood, the smoothest Backwood. And the reason behind the song, there really wasn't a reason. It was so addicting, I was just on one when I was in the studio. This song really was a freestyle, know what I'm sayin'? I had about four Russian creams, just pre-rolled right there beside me, and I was just in my zone and I just went with it, named it "Russian Cream."
