From Ill Conscious:
“‘The Pledge’ is a track based on the betterment of a people. It preaches liberation, the uplifting of the youth and just rising above hardships & modern oppression of the 21st century. It portrays a militant feel, yet gives off a very positive, triumphant message. ‘The Pledge’ also epitomizes what true and expressive hip hop is all about. I am optimistic that many people growing up in tough environments and those who have suffered mentally, physically, as well as economically, will gravitate to this song and video. “
