Preachas Son II: Jamal's time

Pop it

*5 years later*

Fog fills the arena as the lights dim …… The crowd yells with anticipation of the next few minutes … the music starts to play as the lights fade in and out …… “I can’t believe we use to go to school with him …..” one girl yells ….. “I kno .. He was always such a PReacha’s son … and now look at him ….” Both girls start to scream as that all familiar voice comes over the speaker …….

“Do you? ….. I kno u do …. Stop fronting ….and lets get this Poppin …..” The crowd erupts as Jamal steps foot on stage ….. the lights draw up to reveal him dressed in nothing but a print Wife beater …. Some jeans and White Dc’s … he looks out into the crowd as the fans are still yelling his name …. You’d think after a few shows or so that he’d be use to all of the attention …. But still inside was the same ole Jamal ….. well not so much the same Jamal ….

He was stronger … wiser … everything that last song he sang in church …. Church … dam …. He hadn’t been home or to a church in months … since the last time he surprised his mom …. After that … well .. things picked up … He was in the studio recording hooks for Nelly, and JD ….. doing appearances on TRL and MTV ….. and of course making time for his S.O.S ….. He looked to the backstage and there he was as always …. Right there smiling and amping him on …….

The music went from the intro into his number 1 POP hit … “POP That!”

She went Back and forth…. Side to side
Tried to bring it up and did it one more time
Round and Round and Round we go

(Back to Chorus)

The music switched to a dance break while Jamal and his dancers performed their routine …. On the stage .. Jamal was flawless ….. long gone was the scared lil Preacha’s Son .. HE was a Man ….. and wasn’t afraid to show it …. HE grinded on the stage and at one point ripped off his shirt to expose his body … which he worked on every day ….. Yea lil Jamal had grown up real fast in the industry … he was competing against Chris and Usher so he had no choice but to ……. 

Jamal enjoyed the ending of his show the most … y? The applause … To him .. That meant I love you … and everything that you do …. And for the longest he had never heard that …  So in reality…. As much as he tried to portray this new image … he was in fact still a young kid looking for love …… The accident changed everything for him …… He wanted to live his life … without regrets … and without fear …. And that meant following his dreams ….. but it also meant leaving a lot  behind ……. Friends … family … love …..

As he exited the stage …. He ran into the arms of his friend … not lover .. Jamal didn’t do the lover thing anymore …. He’d never be that stupid ….. but Arnez did care about him …. And Jamal didn’t want to take it further than that … He had been down the road before and too many times came out empty handed ….. “Dam Yo … I swear u get better and better each show!” Arnez said as they walked to Jamal’s room ……. “Awww…. Thanks Arne ….. I try to do my best …..” Jamal said trying to catch his breath …. He really just wanted to lie down and rest … He couldn’t imagine how it would be wen he started headlining a tour …
