The Trade

Different Day.

Railin.

Sunday.

When you gotta perform in front of a bunch of old nigga's who got wives, and babies probably around your age, shit gets creepy, and scary as hell.

The glare in their eyes, the sinister smirk plastered on there face makes you wanna wear sweatsuits all the time and never ever take your clothes off in front of anybody again.

What drives me to do it?

The crisp 20's, 50's and 100's in there dirty hands, and how that same money is what's going to keep the roof over your head, food and clothes on you and your babies' back, and a smile on her face.

I sat at the bar taking shot after shot, trying to numb myself for my next set

"You want another one pretty girl?" Mora asked me

Mora, has to be the realest woman in here. She looks out for me. and she makes sure these hoes don't fuck with me.

"Yes Please" I smiled

"Girl, with that smile,them manners, and education, your ass shouldn't be working in this place. You got your diploma baby girl, you gotta do something better with yourself, I keep tellin you" she said as she placed the  two shots in front of me.

"We talked about this Mo, I have to do this, for Krei. Im in school, but I still gotta make ends meet"

Before we could finish our conversation Big Los was calling my name over the intercom

"We're not done talking Pretty!" she yelled as I walked off toward the stage

The lights started to dim and I walked over to the pole and the beat to Rack City :Tyga blared through the speakers

Close your eyes.

 I moved around the pole, touching myself, moving my body and popping my ass to the beat.

Not long after I started to feel money being thrown onto the stage

I was doing a split, and making my ass clap when I felt someone touch me, and Don don't want nobody touching us while on stage.

So I opened my eyes... to see that the man that touched me was Ace.

My heart dropped when I saw him, and I immediatley  thought of my little girl.

Before he opened his mouth, one of the guards came and took him away

I couldn't react, I had a job to do. Make that money and get the fuck outta here .

I closed my eyes again, and got back to work.

Once my set was done I gathered my money, and hurried into the locker room,where there were naked bitches everywhere.

I don't talk to them, cause they all shady as fuck. I've been working here for a month, and I could already tell these hoes was jealous

Unlocking my lock on my locker I could here them talking about me 'Ecstacy this .. Ecstasy that'

Grow the fuck up.

Once I threw all my money from my 4 sets into my duffle bag , I changed into a PINK jogging suit and headed for my car aka the turd

I got inside and started it, which took about 10 minutes and I was on my way home.

I couldn't even make it inside before I felt like passing out, I was BEAT! I checked on Jojo and Rylee, but not before I spotted a crack pipe on her dresser? What the hell? I thought about waking her up, but I'd just chew her ass out tomorrow
