Today as I was walking home, I saw a bunch of cop cars and Jahseh just standing there, again showing no emotions. Everyone else was screaming, but he just stood there. I decided to go see him. He knew I was next to him, but he didn't look at me nor say anything. "Have you ever seen your bestfriend go to prison as he cries?" He asked me. I didn't know what to say, I had nothing to say, because I didn't know how it felt. But he was in pain, I knew he was. I just hugged him and he hugged me back.
We both walked to the park. He just needed someone to be there with him. I didn't want him to feel alone. "Tell me about your bestfriend" I asked. "Stokeley, he's my only friend" he said. "How about all the other kids that follow you at school?" I asked. "They aren't my friends. Before I succeeded with my music, they would bully me, judge me, they made me feel worse. But stokeley was always there for me. They used to make fun of how I dress, the way I see things, they would call me the weird kid. When I started off with my music, they said I was going no where. Because in my music, I rap about how I really feel" he said. "So now they see you're succeeding so they're using you?" I asked. "Yeah, but don't get fooled. Just because they're around me it doesn't mean I fuck with them" he said. "And why did they arrest Stokeley?" I asked. "Some guys on the streets were talking shit, we get judged a lot. Saying we ain't real niggas because we wear chokers and they called me a pussy because I express how I really feel, and talk about depression and stuff" he said. "So stokeley got mad, I did too but he started swinging first and he hurt the guys badly." He said again. I was happy he was finally talking to me, I get him more. "I'm curious, about your music, I wanna hear it" I told him. He took out his phone, and handed me his earbuds. "The first one is called 'I Spoke To The Devil In Miami, He Said Everything Would Be Fine" he said. As it started playing the lyrics hit me. It was so real I was just shook. By the end I had a tear falling down my cheek. "You're going somewhere Jahseh" I said. He wiped the tear off my face and showed me more. "Do you like it?" He asked me. "I love it" I answered.
