- <p>"Do not let'em sting u" is a musical declaration originally inspired by the relentless annoyance of mosquitoes, whose bites served as a metaphor for the draining presence of negative forces and</p><p>people in our lives. Just as these pesky insects seek to sap our vitality, negative individuals also attempt to diminish our creativity, individualism, and energy.</p><p></p><p>In this piece, the buzzing of the mosquitoes is represented by dissonant harmonies and restless rhythms, evoking a sense of agitation and intrusion. Through pulsating rhythms and soaring melodies. This piece is a testament to the power of self-preservation and the importance of guarding our energy and creativity against all who seek to diminish it.</p>
