......". The track is a quite typical of Will Smith's work as he spits his lyrics on fast tempoed beat. I'd say that there isn't much going for this one because of how basic it is in terms of his other work. The beat is OK, but could not be rated any higher than this really. "Miami" (feat.

This song is very mellow in sound, and has great guitar acoustics. It is a song sung gently with many words and is quite slow in pace. It is quite a tear jerking song... Read review
