Chapter Nine: Open Mic Night 🎤

|Compton Smith Point Of View|

I inhaled a deep breathe of air as I looked around the rec room. The seat where filled with family and friends of the memories of rehab. Today I plan singing Grind & Pray , I'm Yours and I Give Myself Away. I feel like these 3 songs are what the world need to where from me Compton Smith not my alter Ego Justine Skye. I ran my fingers through my perfect curls and looked around for my family. I spotted Rocky sitting beside Rita and Mecca sitting beside August. August was sitting beside this lady in orange who looked just like my idol India Arie.

I turned my attention back towards Cameron and Marco who where doing a sound check and lighting check. I waved to them as I rushed back into my room to look over my outfit on last time. I looked over my outfit and pushed my purple and black curls over my shoulder. I smiled in the mirror on more time and made my bed out to the rec room.




After watching Cameron sing I smile as gave him a big hug and made my way on the mini stage.

"Hey everyone.... So tonight I'm going to sing 3 of my all time favorite songs to y'all." I said
•••••

As I lay me down to sleep
I pray to lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray to lord my soul to take

[Interlude:]
My cup full, I'm laid back, I'm bout mine, you know that
I'm rag racin', zoom zoom, in a rush to get all that
Cross my heart, I die hard, come through your hood, in all black
If you real, you'd recognize

[Chorus x2:]
All I do is grind, and pray
Riding through the streets all day
I'm juuuuuust (gettin' to this money, gettin'-gettin' to this money)
(Gettin' to this money, gettin'-gettin' to this money)

My mama callin' on my line
Ain't talked in a couple days
Cause I got a lot on my mind
Tryna flip this up a couple ways

[Interlude]

[Chorus]

Everyday, I'm on it
3-6-5 I'm grindin', prayin', yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...)
[x2]

[Chorus]

[Outro - autotuned voice:]
I gotta get this money
Make this money, make this money on you
(You, you, you you you...)
I gotta get this money
Make this money, make this money on you
I'm a keep grindin', grindin'
I'm a keep griiiiindin'
