The song was first uploaded to WatZatSong on July 11th, 2018, by user TipoDual. It was recorded from the radio of the Global Mall in Moscow, Russia.
On December 13th, 2023, the OP reposted the song to YouTube, with his full recording of it. He also posted full versions of most of his other songs.
On September 20th, 2024, the song was considered identified after Discord user Isle found a listing for a "Let 'Em Know" written by Takbir Bashir in the ASCAP and BMI repertoires—having been inspired to look for Takbir's works in said repertoires after hearing his stage name Ribkat said in the unknown song—along with other Takbir Bashir tracks having an identical voice to that in the song.

I let 'em know, let 'em know what's happening
They said it's gone but I'm bringing it back again
I'm on a roll and I keep on stacking, man
They're like, oh, yeah, that's what's happening
I let 'em know, let 'em know what's happening
They said it's gone but I'm bringing it back again
I'm on a roll and I keep on stacking, man
They're like, oh, yeah, that's what's happening
They gonna stand when it's something that you gotta feel
I got my hand gripped around a couple of dollar bills
You got your itty-bitty change in the soap box
Baby, I'm a sledgehammer set up in that closed shop, yup, yup
Ain't nothing like mine, summer night vibe
Take a flick when it fits at the right time
Throw the money on the ground for the rain dance
Hat to the side, holding up a champagne glass
They never heard of that, I bet they know how
It's Ribkat banging with them windows rolled down
I'm on top on, you feel a creep up
You can't stop with the people in the street, love
So I'mma give it to them right now
And keep it bumping in the city 'til it's lights out
Yeah, show respect for the super bad
You know the rest, baby, add it up, do the math
I let 'em know, let 'em know what's happening
They said it's gone but I'm bringing it back again
I'm on a roll and I keep on stacking, man
They're like, oh, yeah, that's what's happening
I let 'em know, let 'em know what's happening
They said it's gone but I'm bringing it back again
I'm on a roll and I keep on stacking, man
They're like, oh, yeah, that's what's happening
You feel the heat so it's gonna be hot today
I'm on the beat, turn it up and drop your shades
It's my time so whatever the clock displays
Was already planned exact and locked away
So here it is and it's uh-uh-on
Even little kids singing that's my song
Pumping that jam, understand I'm a star
And yeah, I want it all, both hands in the jar
See, I don't even speak, I let my pin do the talking
And I'mma follow trends but I set 'em very often
You like my swag, and so take another breath
Quick, you witnessing the making of a fresh prince
And now I put it back on the streets, they like cruising
Only thing that matters to me is my music
Just a little something for y'all that's never told
Open a notebook and let 'em know
I let 'em know, let 'em know what's happening
They said it's gone but I'm bringing it back again
I'm on a roll and I keep on stacking, man
They're like, oh, yeah, that's what's happening
I let 'em know, let 'em know what's happening
They said it's gone but I'm bringing it back again
I'm on a roll and I keep on stacking, man
They're like, oh, yeah, that's what's happening
I let 'em know, let 'em know what's happening
They said it's gone but I'm bringing it back again
I'm on a roll and I keep on stacking, man
They're like, oh, yeah, that's what's happening
I let 'em know, let 'em know what's happening
They said it's gone but I'm bringing it back again
I'm on a roll and I keep on stacking, man
They're like, oh, yeah, that's what's happening
