Here's the product description from Amazon:
If you live by people's acceptance, you'll die by their rejection.

To gain the meaning of a situation, especially a tragic one, humanity will undoubtedly create a narrative. We have to. We have to do this in order to reconcile in our minds what all the chaos means.

7. Lecrae understands the value in providing a quality product.

If you look at the brand leader in just about any category you should notice those companies take pride in providing customers with quality not quantity. There are a few exceptions to this rule.
