Jamila pov
it was Monday morning and I had to get going to L.A. So I got up and got dressed, I then went into zailas room to remind her that I'm leaving for the next few days. "wake up girl" I say as I shake her to wake up. "what's up" she says rubbing her eyes, "I'm leaving in about ten minutes" I say.
Zaila then sits up "damn, well who's taking you?" she asks. "my manager has it all set up I'm taking a plane to l.a and security has to go with me," I say as I reached for my pager that beeped.
"welp, my rides here," I say kinda not wanting to leave. we shared a long hug "I'll be back by next Tuesday" I say as I pull away from the hug and get into the car that is taking me and my security to the airport. "bye girl" Zaila says standing by our apartment building. it was now 6 am and I had just gotten into my hotel room, I dropped my bags and got onto the bed I was out. little did I know I was for a treat

11 am
i had just finished getting ready to meet up with some directors to see if they need me for a new movie named 'juice'. I then grabbed the keys for the rental car and left the hotel room and knocked on my security door and told him "I'm ready we can stop by and get some food".
here's one thing about me if you around me for an ima treat you like I've known you that's just how I am. anyways we got into the car and stopped by to get some lunch since it was close to 12. after that we stopped by the set of juice, I then walked into one of the sets where the director was he is one cool brotha.
"hey Jamila," the director Ernest said as he pulled me in for a side hug. "what's good Ernest," I say pulling away from the hug, "alright so we were thinking if you would like to be one of the producers just for the experience," he says. "that's cool with me just let's get started on the paperwork an-" I say getting cut off once I see Tupac here, "what's happened baby," Tupac says rubbing his hands together. I'm not gon lie that man looks fine right now, "wuss good pac whatchu doing here" I question.
"i'm actin as one of the main characters in this movie, what are you doing here" he said. "i'm a producer now so your gonna see me more often" I said as his smile got bigger which I didn't think was possible but I ain't complaining. "that's wassup so how long have you hanging around here for," he says curiously, "I gotta go in a min I will be back sometime not next week but the week after," I say as I get my stuff ready to go. "alright ma, I'll catch you later be safe," he says winking and walking away to somewhere.
"alright man let's go I need to get ready for this show tonight," I say to my security talking about my hair and everything that needs to get done.

9pm
i was about to go on stage and i could tell there was a whole bunch of people which made me nervous cause i'm a upcoming artist. i made my way out there and all i could here was people cheering my artist name "sza".
"How are y'all," I say loudly into the microphone as they cheer even louder. once the lights dim a little that's when I heard the beat start.
Run fast from my day job
Runnin' fast from the way it was
Jump quick to a pay check
Runnin' back to the strip club
I'm never going back, never going back
No you can't make me
Never going back, never going back (Nah)
They never take me (Yeah)
I've paid enough of petty dues
I've had enough of shitty news
I've had a thing for dirty shoes since I was 10
Love dirty men alike
Ooh
Better day than yesterday (Keep cuttin' up)
Ooh oh
I just take it day by day
Ooh oh oh
Never hearing what they say
Ooh ooh
I just do it my way
then I let the crowd do the next part which they knew I was looking into the crowd and spotted this nigga with his homies which made me a little more nervous but then I was like fuck it it's my show.
All that I've got, pieces and pages
Talking a lot, sorry I'm faded
Think I've forgot, you love me
You love me
You love me
Got a shift at 10 a.m
Gotta dip at 10 p.m
Gotta get that cash
Won't get past the lunch break
I ain't had a smoke break
In about two days don't break
Been about three years since I dated you
Why you still talking 'bout me like we together?
I moved on for the better
You moved on to whoever
I was down for whatever and then some
You gon' make me late to work again
Ooh
Better day than yesterday
Ooh oh
I just take it day by day
Ooh oh oh
Never hearing what they say
Ooh ooh
I just do it my way
All I got is these broken clocks
I ain't got no time
Just burning daylight
Still love and it's still love, and it's still love
It's still love, still love, still love (Still lovin')
It's still love but it's still love (Still lovin')
Nothin' but love for you
Nothin' but love (Nothin' but)
Nothin' but love
I don't eat, can't sleep past 9 a.m
Heartbeat make me feel young again (Like a snail, like a)
Can't beat em just join the party (Come and join the party)
I don't wanna, don't need nobody
All that I've got, pieces and pages
Talking a lot, sorry I'm faded
Think I've forgot, you love me
You love me
You love me
You love me
You love me
You love me
Once I finished a couple more songs I hopped my ass off that stage and was going to the room I was chilling in before on the way, my girl Latifah stopped me "hey Latifah" I said, "damn girl you look fine you going to the after party" she asks. did I want to go? no, I just wanted to lay in my hotel room " yeah I'll be there ain't it at cubes house" I ask as she nods " alright girl I'll see you later" I say walking away.
