Dare to Dream
Thursday,Oct.23
Aj walked into school with five of her older brothers by her side. She shouldn't have told them about her close encounter yesterday, but she had to tell someone. She didn't want something like that to happen again.
JoJo walked up to the six."Uh...A new protection unit?"He asked towards Aj,"They won't leave me alone,...Micheal doesn't even go to this school!"She said as she looked over to her older brother."What school do you even go to?"JoJo asked Micheal."He's in colledge!"Aj snapped."Boys... Get to class!"Micheal snapped to the other four,"I'll handle this..."He added. He turned to JoJo."Look,...I don't like you,...and you don't like me...But you protected my little sister..."Micheal hesitated. Aj turned around to see Melanie and Braidon waving her in their direction. She started to back away slowly from her brother and walked to her friends."Hey guys! What's up!?"She said happily, as if nothing was wrong."You! Are you sure you're alright?"Melanie asked,concerned."Ofcourse I'm okay...It's not like he stabbed me."She smiled."But he grabbed you!"Braidon shouted silently."B-but I'm okay,...really!"Aj said, still smiling. Melanie rolled her eyes," If you say so..."She sighed.
(Back to Mike and Jo!!:3)
"Look, What I'm trying to say is...I'm happy that you protected her...I would've felt terrible if I lost her..."Micheal said happily,"Uh,...looks like you've already lost her."JoJo said as he pointed towards Aj as she was walking past them with Braidon and Melanie."Nice chat and all, but I should probably go with them."JoJo smiled as he turned around and cought up with his friends. Micheal just smiled and turned around to leave. Before he could walk out of the door, A man grabbed his arm."C-can I talk to you?"The man asked."O-okay?"Micheal said,confused. Micheal walked with the man outside the door and they started talking.
"Soooo,...What do you want?"Micheal asked
"I was just wondering..."The man hesitated,"Well,...uh..."
"Just spit it out!"Micheal ordered.
The man jumped at the volume in the boys voice."Do you even know who I am."The man asked quietly.
Micheal shook his head."I'm going to have to say...no."He said sternly.
He sighed,"Figured as much...First your sister and now you."He mumbled.
Micheal went into shock,"Uh...How did you talk to my sister!?"He snapped
"I ran into her yesterday...She got all scared and sicked her friends on me,yo!"The man said like a teenager.
"Yesterday..."Micheal hesitated,"You were the one that she came home crying about?!"He had gotten angry, like he was going to kill someone.
"She was crying?"The man said, disappointed. But his disapointment was replace by fear when Micheal got a hold of him and slammed him against the wall."WHY DID YOU TOUCH HER!!"Micheal yelled. The man grabbed his wrists and pushed him away."THAT'S NO WAY TO TALK TO YOUR FATHER!"He yelled. Micheal stood there...wide eyed...shocked. Micheal didn't speak. He just looked to the ground."That's why I asked you if you knew who I am... And I've been gone too long to realize that I've changed...So...That's probably why you couldn't regognise me."He said."Where have you been?"Micheal finally spoke up."I have no time,right now. But I'll answer all of your questions later, Okay?"He said, hurrying."O-okay."Micheal said as his father walked into the school. He stood there for a few more minutes before leaving...his mind racing.
(OH MY JESUS!! Didn't see that one coming,did you? Don't worry...I didn't either!X3)
Aj,JoJo,Braidon and Melanie leaned against the hall wall. They were silent...that is until,...Savannah...She walked up with Justine and she wouldn't stop talking."Soooooo...you okay,sissy?!"She said happily. Aj looked up to her,"I'm fine."She answered silently. The awkward silence set in. Braidon broke it,"Sooo...Since,like, you,Savannah and your entire family is into music,...was your dad?"Braidon asked. JoJo was about to speak up but he saw the smile forming on Aj's face."Yes,...yes he was..."She answered simply."He liked to rap...When I was five he tought me one of his songs...there were too many curse words in it for a five year old, but I like it..."She said happily."Oh yeah,...You mean 'like toy soldiers'?"Savannah asked."Yeah."Aj replied."Oh yeah! I was there when he tought that to you guys,...very violent song..."Justine laughed."Yeah,...It was my favorite one 'cuase he mentions me in it!"Aj smiled happily."Would it happen to be the one you sang a while back?"JoJo asked."Yes...But that was only,like, half of the first verse."Aj laughed."Sing it!"Melanie said."Not in the middle of the hall! How about in Music,...where it's tolerated!"Aj laughed as she walked to her class."Hey! Wait for me!"Melanie yelled after her.
--:Music Class:--
"Aj! You promised!"Melanie poked Aj's arm."Hey! I never promised! But I did promise Mrs.Sanford that I'd be nice...I don't want to intimidate this guy!"Aj said."Ohhh,C'mon! I'll make a beat!"JoJo said as he pulled out two pencil's from his bookbag."Fine...Justine,Savannah, you guys do the chorus,'kay?"Aj told her sister and her friend."OKAY!!"They said happily. Aj turned in her seat, She was about to start but one of the students yelled,"SUB'S COMIN'!!" When he yelled that, all of the kids got in their seats. JoJo stopped the beat that he was making when he walked in. He elbowed Aj,"Hey,look."He said as Aj turned around. She continued her smile until she saw his face. Her eyes widened as she looked over to JoJo."Make the loudest beat that you can..."She turned back to Savannah,"Ya'll sing the chorus really loud..."She turned to Melanie and Braidon,"You two, pick up the chorus and sing it with them...He's gonna wish he never chose to be a teacher!"Aj whispered. JoJo made his beat.
Savannah:Step by step,heart to heart,left right left,we all fall down...
Savannah and Justine:Step by step, heart to heart, left right left, we all fall down like toy soldiers...
The other kids in the class looked over to them with wide eyes.
Savannah and Justine:Bit by bit,torn apart, we never win, but the battle wages on...for toy soldiers
Aj:I'm supposed to be the soldier who never blows his composure
Even though I hold the weight of the whole world on my shoulders
I ain't never supposed to show it, my crew ain't supposed to know it
Even if it means goin' toe to toe with a Benzino
it don't matter I'd never drag them in battles that I can't handle unless I absolutely have to
I'm supposed to set an example I need to be the leader, my crew looks for me to guide 'em
If some shit ever just pop off, I'm supposed to be beside 'em Now the Ja shit i tried to squash it, it was too late to stop it There's a certain line you just don't cross and he crossed it
I heard him say Aj's name on a song and I just lost it
It was crazy,
this shit way beyond some Jay-z and Nas shit
And even though the battle was won, I feel like we lost it
I spent too much energy on it, honestly I'm exhausted
And I'm so caught in it I almost feel I'm the one who caused it
This ain't what I'm in hip-hop for, it's not why I got in it
That was never my object for someone to get killed
Why would I wanna destroy something I helped build
It wasn't my intentions, my intentions was good
I went through my whole career without ever mentionin' ...
Now it's just out of respect for not runnin' my mouth
And talkin' about something that I knew nothing about Plus Dre told me stay out,
this just wasn't my beef So I did, I just fell back, watched and gritted my teeth
While he's all over t.v. down talkin' a man who literally saved my life Like fuck it i understand this is business And this shit just isn't none of my business
But still knowin' this shit could pop off at any minute
Savannah and Justine:step by step,heart to heart, left right left, we all fall down...like toy soldiers, Bit by bit, torn apart, we never win, but the battle wages on... for toy soldiers
The sub looked over to them with sad eyes.That's the song that I wrote,He thougt.
Aj:There used to be a time when you could just say a rhyme And wouldn't have to worry about one of your people dyin' But now it's elevated cuz once you put someone's kids in it
The shit gets escalated, it ain't just words no more is it?
It's a different ball game, callin' names and you ain't just rappin'
We actually tried to stop the 50 and Ja beef from happenin'
Me and Dre had sat with him, kicked it and had a chat with him And asked him not to start it
he wasn't gonna go after him Until Ja started yappin' in magazines how he stabbed him
Fuck it 50 smash 'em, mash 'em and let him have it
Meanwhile my attention is pullin' in other directions
Some receptionist at The Source who answers phones at his desk
Has an erection for me and thinks that I'll be his ressurection Tries to blow the dust off his mic and make a new record But now he's fucked the game up cuz one of the ways I came up
Was through that publication the same one that made me famous
Now the owner of it has got a grudge against me for nothin'
Well fuck it, that motherfucker can get it too, fuck him then
But I'm so busy being pissed off I don't stop to think
That we just inherited 50's beef with Murder Inc.
And he's inherited mine which is fine ain't like either of us mind
We still have soldiers that's on the front line
That's willing to die for us as soon as we give the orders
Never to extort us, strictly to show they support us
We'll maybe shout 'em out in a rap or up in a chorus
To show them we love 'em back and let 'em know how important it is
To have Runion Avenue Soldiers up in our corners T
heir loyalty to us is worth more than any award is But I ain't tryna have none of my people hurt and murdered It ain't worth it I can't think of a perfecter way to word it
Then to just say that I love ya'll too much to see the virdict
I'll walk away from it all before I let it go any further
But don't get it twisted, it's not a plea that I'm coppin'
I'm just willin' to be the bigger man If ya'll can quit poppin' off at your jaws well then I can,
Cuz frankly I'm sick of talkin'
I'm not gonna let someone elses coffin rest on my conscience cuz
Savannah,Justine,Melanie,and Braidon:Step by step, heart to heart, left right left,we all fall down like toy soldiers,bit by bit, torn apart, we never win, but the battle wages on...for toy soldiers
The class started clapping. They all stood up on their chairs and bowed."That's another taste of the fearsom foursome! Featuring Justine and my very own flesh and blood,Savannah!"Aj said happily as she glared over to the sub. She plopped back down in her seat."Lovely performance..."He said. Aj rolled her eyes."I figured that you would say that."She snapped back."Your mother raised you hectically."He laughed. Aj's eyes widened. There were a bunch of "OOH"s coming from around the room."I know you didn't just talk about my mom!" Aj snapped as she got up."Looks like the sub torturer just got burned!"One boy laughed from the other side of the room. She looked over to him,"I will kill you in your sleep! DON'T TALK!!"She said as she pointed to him."So...you're the infamous sub torturer that I've heard rumors about? Kind of small..."He laughed. He just wanted to mess with her head."Uh,yeah...who else would it be?"She snapped."Maybe someone with more...experience...and height..."He laughed."Dude, you don't have to fight this fight!"Braidon yelled."Yeah,..."JoJo hesitated as he glared at the man,"HE isn't worth it!"He snapped."SHHHH"Aj shooshed as she held her hands up."listen to me...you...lil' bastard! I have been torturing subs for years,okay! And I torture subs,...NOT CHILD MILESTORS!!"Aj yelled as she sat back down in her seat. JoJo rubbed her hand,"It'll be okay..."He whispered. He saw that she was on the verge of crying.
Her dad just shook his head and walked over to the board and wrote his name. He wrote,"MR.BASSFORD".
Aj's eyes widened as she saw the big letters on the board. She stood up,"WHAT! NOW YOU'RE STALKING ME!! HOW DO YOU KNOW MY LAST NAME?!"She yelled. He shook his head agian. Savannah acted quickly and pulled out a picture of their dad from her binder. She looked at it...then looked at the man."Aj! Take a look at this!"She whispered as she gave the picture to her sister. She looked at it,...then at the man. She did that a few times. She looked back at Savannah,"Is it him?"She whispered, almost too excited to stand it."I think so..."Savannah whispered back. Aj looked over to JoJo. JoJo saw her face. She started crying. He started getting worried."What! What!! What is it...Nonono! Don't cry!"He said. Her dad looked over at the comotion,"Heyheyhey! What happened over here!?"He hesitated as he looked over to JoJo,"What did you do?!"He snapped,"Why does everyone asume it's me?!"JoJo complained. Savannah and Aj stood up."DADDY!!" They both cried. They ran over and hugged him. Justine's eyes widened,"DADDY!!" She yelled as she ran over an hugged him too.(Whenever Justine went to their house, she always called their dad, daddy, and their mom,mommy.I think it's cute!X3)"It's about time you recognized me!"He said happily.
