    @Narsh I don't really like Phenomenal either, but a 3/10 is :bizarre:

    I agree that the concept of Not Afraid was executed better but it still had flaws and it's very forgettable

    listened again. the last verse really saves it for me. no shut up valve. i write wit my left, same hand i hold the mic wit.

    also wheres this flow from??? the "give back what you get" bit.. @VMO2 @csw621 ?

    ill listen to not afraid again next. im still sure its a better song but maybe they're closer than i thought

    sidenote: ive always liked wont back down :'(

    Only listened to the song once but I enjoyed the 2nd verse the most because he actually sounds some what natural. He's not trying to rap so fast and he's flowing with the beat for the most part.

    answer my question doe

    wheres this flow from:

    "Get it how you live
    But are you prepared to give more than you get?
    And put in twice what you get back from this s---
    Though what you sacrifice barely is half, never give"

    listned to both again...and not afraid is a whole different style of writing which is why its hard to compare. and both are bad regardless lol.

    back during recovery em was more confused then ever cause the relapse s--- didnt go over well. and he was trying punchlines etc..nowadays hes completely comfortable in his backpack cypher rapping ways

    still like not afraid more as an overall song but an argument could definitely be made for phenomenal :emoji_thumbsup:

    Not Afraid is awful. Phenomenal is average. Therefore, Phenomenal wins.
