As for Cain's contribution here...it's a simple repetitive synth loop that easily could have been programmed by AI. Like some of the keyboard and synth parts on Freedom (ex. You Got The Best Of Me, The Way We Used To Be) it's so basic, child-like, and unimpressive. Clearly nothing more than a quick payday recording session by Pastor Cain.
