Empire State of mind

Chapter 13: What hell is going on

Jamal's POV

I'm getting ready for my set and I can't believe how far I've come since everything that's happened in my life, I'm so amazed. I start rockin out to the beat of my song and I start to feel the music, I grab the mic and a deep breath and start to sing

🎶 "I'm gonna love you baby
Gonna kiss and hug you baby
Make you feel like its alright
You got your kicks up on you
Come here darling give me sugar
Gonna show you what it feels like (let's fly)"🎶

🎶 "Hey baby, come and love me
Ooo child you, you make me crazy
I need you, right here next to me
We're gonna go away while we're still at home
If we can fly, yeah, real high
Then there will be no landin' in sight, yeah
And if I can stay, all day
Got you wrapped up in my arms
It's the one and only place"🎶

🎶 "I'm gonna love you baby
Gonna kiss and hug you baby
Make you feel like its alright
You got your kicks up on you
Come here darling give me sugar
Gonna show you what it feels like (feels like)"🎶

I start to get really into the song now I'm just enjoying myself, I look up to see my mom looking at me so proud causing me to smile as I continue

🎶 "Maybe its the way you move, yeah
Not noticin', you're stuck up in the groove, aw baby
Show us the way you shine
You got silly fools stuck up in the line, for you
Lately I've been wondering
Are you gone and where you been?
Curiosity fills the mind, aye
Lookin' and listenin'
[?] to get you in
Makes me laugh every single time" 🎶

🎶 "I'm gonna love you baby
Gonna kiss and hug you baby
Make you feel like its alright
You got your kicks up on you
Come here darling give me sugar
Gonna show you what it feels like (let's fly)
I'm gonna love you baby
Gonna kiss and hug you baby
Make you feel like its alright
You got your kicks up on you
Come here darling give me sugar
Gonna show you what it feels like (let's fly)" 🎶

🎶 "Let's fly, let's fly
Let's fly, let's fly
Let's fly
Let's fly
Let's fly, let's fly
Let's fly, let's fly
Let's fly
Let's fly
Hey, hey"🎶

I take a breather as I finish off the song, everyone cheers and claps as I dab my hand up and smile toward the people in the room, I smile towards my mom as I make my way over to sway, I dab him up as he praises me, " that was amazing man" I smile and look between him and the camera as he speaks to the camera.

"That was Jamal Lyon, and amazing up and coming R&b artist and what he just blessed us with is a snipe bit of his new song I wanna love you, Jamal how you doin man" Sway finishes, I smile and say "I'm doin great man, I'm happy to be here" Sway smiles and says " well I'm happy to have you, keep ya money is gaining notoriety, this song right here is gonna blow up, but I got a question man and that is how does yo girl feel about this song man"

I laugh nervously because I felt this question coming on, I look towards Cookie and she's dumbfounded but give me a look of " you gotta do what you gotta do". I shake my head and look at Sway and say "well there is not lady....... I'm single" Sway laughs and smile at me, "bro your tellin me there's not girl in ya life" I smile and look towards Cookie who's giving me a look of slight disappointment, I look towards Sway and say "Nope, I'm focusing on music, no one special in my life" Sway smiles says something to the camera but I space out, damn how am I gonna come out to the world. But little did I know Michael was watching the whole thing.
