Detroit

-Eazy's POV-

We're finally in Detroit, our last stop. We set the roof on fire in Houston. This will be the last show of our 1989 tour and I can honestly say that this has been a great experience for me. Music has really changed my life for the better and I want to thank Dre for convincing me. This is what God had in store for me. I may not be a strong writer but my voice and my flow is what everyone loves.

We arrived at the venue and met with the Detroit police department backstage.

             "Violence will not be tolerated tonight in the city of Detroit. The rap song F Tha Police is prohibited and will not be played. Failure to follow will result in immediate arrest."

            "Are you finished? We got a show to do," said Cube.

             "That's all I have to say and just watch yourself," the officer said.

"Fuck the police," we said in unison while the officers left.

Since this is the last show of our 1989 tour, we decided to perform every song from our albums except Fuck Tha Police. We've received warnings and threats from the FBI and the Detroit police departmemt. The last song of the night was Straight Outta Compton.

           "Damn that shit was dope!" yelled Dre after the song ended.

The crowd was hype, we were hype. Cube looked back at Dre and I knew he was up to something.

"Let's go, let's do this," he said while looking at me and Dre.

             "You really wanna do it?" Dre asked.

              "Let's go!" I yelled.

Cube got on the mic.

               "Aye hold up hold up. Y'all know what these muthafuckas tried to tell us backstage?" he asked the crowd.

             "WHAT?!" they screamed.

            "Muthafuckas tried to tell us what we can't play. They tried to tell us what the fuck we can't say. This is N.W.A.! We do what we want to do and we say what the fuck we want to say!"

The crowd started to cheer him on.

            "So I want everybody in here tonight to put your middle fingers high in the sky. And to all them punk ass cops backstage, this is for you. Yo Dre."

             "What up?"

              "I got something to say."

"Fuck the police coming straight from the underground. A young nigga got it bad cuz I'm brown. I'm not the other color so police think they have the authority to kill a minority...... Fuckin with me cuz I'm a teenager. With a little bit of gold and a pager searching my car looking for the product. Thinkinf every nigga is selling Narcotics...... I dont know if they fags or what, search a nigga and grabbing his nuts...... Ice Cube will swarm on any motherfucker in a blue uniform. Just cause I'm from the CPT punk police are afraid of me huh. A young nigga on the warpath and when I'm finished, its gonna be a bloodbath of cops dieing in LA. Yo Dre I got something to say."

"FUCK THA POLICE!" the crowd screamed. "FUCK THA POLICE!" "FUCK THA POLICE!" "FUCK THA POLICE!"

Next thing we know, we heard gunshots and fireworks were thrown on stage. Two more shots were fired and everyone fled. The crew and I ran back to the tour bus as fast as we could.

               "Hopefully they didn't see us", Dre said.

As soon as we got back to the hotel, we saw the Detroit police department in front of the entrance. One walked up to us and said "you're under arrest."

Then they handcuffed us.

"Fuck yo mama, fuck yo daddy, fuck yo grandmama," Ren said while walking. They threw us in their van and drove us away.
