I hung out with Will in the studio. And watched him write it. It was a fun studio session, and I said a line or two or three to him. It wasn't that serious. Will Smith wrote that song.
But seriously, I watched him have fun making that record on his own, and Will is a true MC.

I'd say the multi-syllables and general cadence in the verses sound a bit like Biggie. Note: I'M NOT SAYING THIS TRACK IS AS GOOD AS BIGGIE. But imagine Biggie's voice doing the verses.
