Oh, yeah!

You need to get your

life straight for Christ's sake

Because your mind state ain't

moving as fast as my pace

You're spending cheese

every other day on new kicks

It's useless, sometimes

I wonder if you're stupid

Yo, I'm a real boss

chick You better believe it

I buy what I want whenever I need it

A girl like me don't worry about

haters and all that light stuff

I'll worry about it later

You're acting like a

dummy and I'm mad Mad?

You think we don't know you

get your money from your dad

- What?

- It's obvious

You never even

had a job before

Step to this you'll

be highly sore what up?

Shut up.

- Yo, Jamie, drop out at the next bar!

Now when I say

we gonna y'all say rock it

- We gonna

- Rock it!

When I say we gonna

y'all say rock it

- We gonna

- Rock it!

When I say

Hey.

Not your thing?

Not really.

My parents would die

if they saw that.

They think it's

a conservatory.

Everyone practicing

cello all day.

Hey, I'm Denise.

Malik.

Mind if I sit down?

You know, if it makes

you feel any better,

my mom doesn't

even know I go here.

Seriously?

She thinks I'm down

at the public high school.

She works three jobs.

She's never gonna check.

Why don't you just tell her?

She doesn't want me to be

an actor or a rapper.

Look, what about you?

I mean, I see you playing the piano

like you're Beethoven and everything.

Is that your thing?

- Yeah.

- Cool.

Well, actually,

I don't know.

I mean, I guess,

I think it...

Okay, truth is,

I've never tried

anything else.

Oh.

What's up, man?

What you looking at?

I'm just watching

this girl dance.

Yeah, I've seen her.

But she thinks she's, like, the

most talented kid in the school.

Maybe she is.

Well, I gotta go. You want to

keep staring, go right ahead, man.

See you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But I will wait

for you to figure it out

Soon you'll be chasing me through

the out door onto the street

I will be kneeling

on the ground

Can I help you?

You know,

you can really dance.

Thanks

for the newsflash.

But I think you could dance a little

better, though, if your music wasn't so wack.

I'm just saying.

Excuse me?

Yeah. I mean,

if you really wanna dance,

you need something

way better than that.

And you know

just what that is.

Yeah.

Here, listen.

That's just a demo, too.

I mean, I'm adding, like,

a lot more bass and effects.

The second,

the second bar,

that's not even the final
