“KOF PEPPER DEM
AND GOD SAID MY DAUGHTER,
I WILL PEPPER YOUR ENEMIES AND MOP YOUR TEARS AWAY, AND SO HE DID.
I’m STANDING HERE BY God’s GRACE CAUSE I don’t THINK YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS TO DIE for 10 minutes and make it back alive.

HELL YEAH and the cape was heavier than I thought, my back couldn’t carry it for long but I tried my best, fell severally but pulled it off.
