Infinity and Beyond (Sequel to Beyond the Lights)

Chapter 14

Next Day

Emily POV

"Alright Em you ready?" Scooter raises an eyebrow in question and I nod, "yeah. How long have we been here?" I look at the clock on the wall but he speaks first, "4 hours."

I groan and wipe my head in frustration, "well if he told me about the song before today maybe this wouldn't be taking so long." Scooter nods, "I know man. Can't do anything about it. Just be happy Jay-Z wants you out of all the singers in the world for this song. Let's do it one more time okay? I know you can do it. We just need another copy to edit and adjust, let's go."

I sigh and close my eyes, letting the music fill my ears.

"You take the clothes off my back

And I let you

You'd steal the food right out my mouth

And I'd watch you eat it

I still don't know why

Why I love you so much

Oh

You curse my name

In spite to put me to shame

Have my laundry in the streets

Dirty or clean

Give it up for fame

But I still don't know why

Why I love it so much

Yeah"

I raise my key to falsetto and close my eyes tighter,

"[Hook:]

And baby

It's amazing I'm in this maze with you

I just can't crack your code

One day you screaming you love me loud

The next day you're so cold

One day you're here, one day you're there, one day you care

You're so unfair sipping from your cup

Till it runneth over, Holy Grail"

Jay raps his part and I nod my head to the music until it's my turn again, singing alongside him,

"[Bridge Em and Jay-Z:]

And we all just entertainers

And we're stupid, and contagious

Now we all just entertainers"

"[Hook - Em]

And baby

It's amazing I'm in this maze with you

I just can't crack your code

One day you screaming you love me loud

The next day you're so cold

One day you're here, one day you're there, one day you care

You're so unfair sipping from your cup

Till it runneth over, Holy Grail"

Jay does the 3rd Verse and I wait to sing the hook again,

[Hook]

I go straight into the Bridge,

"[Bridge]
