When you want to say goodbye to a soccer homie, this is the track you should listen to: Get Back.
No matter how good a guy he is, you just can’t hang with a totally strung-out junkie.

It’s hardcore, plain and simple.
Super dope.
Even though Ludacris is big in the mainstream, he still keeps that underground vibe alive.
Time Is Running OutMuse

The melody is refreshing, yet there’s a peculiar hint of devilishness drifting through it.
In fact, this song was influenced by Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean.” Try listening for which phrases show that influence! It’s a highly polished piece with not only the melody but also the lyrics crafted in detail.
