Because I know this'll eventually end up with a beat, I kept trying to inject one as I was mouthing this out loud. This is something I've done with your past Pearlescent Poems as well. Though, I don't know I found it particularly hard for this one. Perhaps I'm just not that big with eye contact IRL haha! With regard to the poem itself, as I've said in the past, your conviction always shines through. You always write very powerful stuff, and this particular one is very motivating. "Never back down" is what I think about to sum this up. It's hard to persevere through tough times, and your call to action really has a way to pump up one's blood. Great job, brother!

Thank you bro, wait until you hear this beat and the flow I got for it! Appreciate that, and we definitely cannot back down, we are allowed to fall down, but not falter for anyone imposing their will upon us immorally. We gotta keep uplifting one another indeed. Can't wait to share part 2 and 3, the flow for this part 1 is different and part 2 is unorthodox but still rhythmic when I deliver it

"Fall down as much as you want, but always get back up" It's when you stay down that you're considered down for the count. I'm so psyched to hear what you come up with, brother! You're always so inventive with your beats, so I learned to expect the unexpected.
