Listen to American Dream while reading

August

Week Later

Today I got a performance and I'm performing my song American Dream then I got a meet and greet with my fans all of this is happening in New Orleans I haven't been here in a while

I been receiving messages from my 'family' and I brought my family here since they never really been here before only Asia and the kids are nervous cause they feel like some shit gon happen between me and my cousins

Right now I'm in soundcheck

Me: So ladies y'all ready for today

Them: Yeah !

They got in they positions and the beat started

Me: I hope you listen to these wizzords
All they want us thinking about is sipping on some sizzurp
And they got us thinking something better we don't deserve
And that we shouldn't try it's no use
But that couldn't be further from the truth
Don't believe them that's what they told me too
When I was growing up (they told me)
They told me (that I wouldn't make it too far)
And when I battle it will hold up
(They told me) they told me, yeah
(That I wouldn't get anything)

After soundcheck

Me: Yo that was good but we gotta start getting ready for this performance

See wit me ion know about other celebs they do meet and greets first then they performance but I like to do it the other way performing first then meet and greet .

Asia: We here

I turned and saw them all coming in

Jaden: Pop you nervous

Me: Nah

They just got use to calling me that since they always wit me and my family

I pulled Asia and gave her a kiss

Asia: How was soundcheck

Me: Amazing!

Asia: Good but babe Angel is really scared to be here after she heard about the messages even Nyla

I sighed

Me: Nyla , Angel y'all cmon

They followed me into my dressing room and they sat on the couch

I went into the closet and grabbed my outfit

Me: Wassup wit y'all

Angel: Nothing-

Nyla: Dad we scared I don't feel safe here what if Derek does what he said he'll do to you like life without you I wouldn't be here if you aren't here

Angel shook her head and I hugged them

Malak: Dad- Y'all alright

I pulled him into the hug

Me: Y'all are Kings and Queens don't ever think that I'm not gonna protect y'all I'm here for y'all I love y'all yes y'all cousin wanna see me dead but somehow we gon make it through all of this drama listen to my words y'all what he's sending me is further from the truth he ain't gon hurt me or y'all

BigT: Y'all better listen to him ain't shit gon happen to y'all ... August you out in 20

I nodded my head and let them leave wit him

After they left I got on my knees

Me: Lord , thank you for getting me and my family here safe I pray that this performance go well watch out for my kids and wife while I show my city love , let my daughters know that nothing bad gon happen to me or them I know Mel looking down and I wanna make him proud in Jesus name . Amen
