sitting in the studio

Karma sat in the Ruthless studio with Eric and Yella as they listened to a woman sing terribly to an Anita Baker song. Eric was holding auditions to find a new female artist for Ruthless and all the talent unfortunately didn't have any.

Majority just wanted the chance to fuck Eric.

"My ears are going to bleed." Yella said putting his hands over his ears making Karma laugh

"Stop." She said trying to hide her laugh as the girl stopped singing and looked at her

"Is there something funny ?"

"Your voice isn't funny but it definitely is terrible matterfact." Karma said making Yella laugh as they slapped hands

"Look we'll give you a call sweetie." Eric told the woman with a smile and she looked at Karma with a smug look walking away. "Why you so mean ?" Eric said looking at Karma

"I'm not mean , She couldn't sing." She said puffing on the joint that Yella passed to her. "I think your just distracted by the fat asses."

"Well why don't you work the mic ?" He said to her as she looked at Yella who nodded

"Oh I'll rock the fuck out of the mic , Yella play that Ella James beat for me." She said as she put the joint down and walked to the mic. "All I Could Is Cry ?" He asked and she nodded as she hummed and the beat started

I heard church bells ring
I heard a choir singing
I saw my love walking down the isle , On her finger he placed a ring

Andre walked in the studio as he looked confused when he heard the beautiful voice. He looked and seen his little sister singing along to the soft melody.

"Why you ain't tell me your sister could sing ?" Eric said looking at Yella

"I ain't know she could sing." He said truthfully

Karma spent majority of her time growing up at their grandmothers house. She was the sibling who got into the most trouble so her grandmother took her in to change her around. It worked for awhile she made Karma learn certain instruments like the bass , piano even the saxophone. She even made Karma joined the choir.

But as Karma got older she got more out of control and let the streets pick her fate.

"Damn." Eric said looking at her

It was like her voice added on to all the other amazing things about her.

And now the wedding is over , Ohhh
The rice ! Rice has been thrown over their heads
For them life has just begun
But mine is end , ending

"You think you could get her signed ?" Andre asked making Eric look at him

"Of course , Karma is family." He said as he looked as she put the mic down
