Part of the first verse had been used in freestyles previously.
In the bonus DVD of Message to the Other Side, Buddha Monk claims that Russell Jones and the members of Brooklyn Zu were having an aggressive argument for unknown reasons. He then goes on to say, during the argument, Jones walks into the sound booth and starts recording a track. Jones uses the energy and anger from the argument and created lyrics. Buddha also claimed Jones used some words and sentences used in the argument to create the track. When completed, the track was named "Brooklyn Zoo".
