The word “Calaboose’ is a loose term for jail. This makes sense as in the music video, Moosewala enters the scene after exiting the back of a police van. He is handcuffed and as soon as he exits the vehicles, he is surrounded by many reporters.

In the song, the star discusses his gangsta existence and the horror he causes to detractors in this straight-up banger. The music is filled with video clips of many controversies in his life.
