DMX (born Earl Simmons) burst out into an inspirational freestyle about the tough times he's been facing after pleading not guilty to two felony theft charges in a Phoenix courtroom on Thursday.

X was indicted earlier this week on a felony count of theft and another felony count of identity theft. "If and when you ever fall down/ Get back up," he rapped outside the courtroom, when asked for a comment following the hearing, according to a Reuters report. "Drop something/ Stop fretting/ Pick that ... back up/ Stand for something or fall for everything/ Wait for the right pitch or miss with every swing."
