We can change our perspective and power through diversity, even if they deem you and I unworthy
So I voice my word firmly, like being determined to make you aware
Fear not if scared
Our strength is a clear indication that patience is a safe solitude which we have endured
Granted, time waits for no man, but the cause is ensured
So stand, if not for the pure heart, then for what's left of our problem strict community
So miss me with the sense of negative violent activity
What's given to I, is a chance to speak to you, we, and them
So reevaluate yourself, be a beacon of positivity
Soak in what you don't know, each one teach one, one step at a time
Speak what's spoken to, be seen not heard
Whatever your salvation may be,
when your time expires believe you me, he'll know your desires were true
Like being a part of solution, knowing the problem group
But he's a just God, and you'll get your just dues
They may insinuate we lost, but we should never lose
“Virality Score: 85/100 This EP takes a creative and unique approach to self-confidence, offering an abstract lyrical style that stands out from the typical mainstream rap. For listeners tired of formulaic content, the depth and meaning in the lyrics provide a refreshing change. Upon replaying, the intricate wordplay and layered messages become even more apparent, revealing a strong narrative that demands deeper engagement. The score of 85 reflects the EP’s intellectual appeal—its clever lyricism challenges the listener, which adds to its artistic value but may limit its mainstream virality. While some may seek easily digestible content, this project rewards those who appreciate substance and depth in music.” - Charlie "Star" Crespo (Music Editor and Writer)
