I'm a week into touring properly and I'm in love. My last tour wasn't like this...it was great don't get me wrong but I'm a lot bigger this year so more and more people come and see me. Meaning I sell out bigger venues!

Mark rushes in "we've got a problem, a very big one at that!"
I sigh and look at him "what?"
He gulps "Michael and Janet jackson are here to see the show and order to see you after the show!"
I gulp copying mark "damn" I nod my head and look back at him "that'll be fine, I guess"
He smiles slightly "okay, you've got 10 minutes. You look great. Start heading out to the stage where you enter! Have a great show, we'll all be sat cheering you on!"
I blush and look down at my shiny leather boots "thank you!"
"Knock knock" someone says making me look up towards the door: it's my manager Charles.
"How's the marriage?" He asks sarcastically
I bite down on my lip "fuck You, this is all because of you!"
Charles shrugs "Shawn needs you, and you need him!"
"I don't need a man!" I scream

Then a lightbulb goes off in my head. What a perfect lyric for a song!
I rush to my notepad and write 'I don't need a man'
I look at it and smile "I'll take care of you later"

I walk towards the stage nervously as I hear my name being chanted across the whole stadium. I smile at the voices of my fans screaming in anticipation.

The intro to my show blares through the speakers, the intro is around 2 minutes long. My jaw drops to the floor when I hear the whole stadium chanting along with the intro.

"We came to slay bitch!" The guy who's voice is in my intro says, now this is where I rise from under the stage.

"Y'all haters corny with that illuminati mess
Paparazzi, catch my fly, and my cocky fresh
I'm so reckless when I rock my Givenchy dress (stylin')
I'm so possessive so I rock his Roc necklaces" I sing into my microphone as the whole stadium erupts in cries of joy, half of the stadium screaming..and the other half singing with me.

"Sing!!" I scream then carry on singing

"My daddy Alabama, momma Louisiana
You mix that negro with that Creole make a Texas bamma!!" I sing as I dance around the stage with my backing dancers.
"I like my baby hair, with baby hair and afros
I like my negro nose with Jackson Five nostrils
Earned all this money but they never take the country out me
I got a hot sauce in my bag, swag"  I sing as my microphone fades out when I say 'swag'
