  • Rick Ross contributes a guest verse to this song. A revamped version was also recorded featuring Kid Cudi rather than Ross.

  • Shawn from Prescott, AzI hate the rap in the song it ruins the rock should have just left it rock.
    I know people who have seen the bright lights and cought the fever and need be welcomed back to the real world.
