Graceland (A GLEE Fanfiction)

Top Down, Just Chillin' By The West Side (Nationals, Part 1)

Hmmmmm, this might be alright.

But wait I hear they're prissy, bourgeois, all that

Is this the type of place that they just send this cool cat?

I don't think so

I'll see when I get there

I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air

The rest of the New Directions, along with Quinn and Mercedes, broke out into an acapella version of the song, making Melissa pause her music and join in. Ryder and Jake let Sam take on a solo rap after hearing how good she is.

Samantha:

Well, the plane landed and when I came out

There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out

I ain't trying to get arrested yet

I just got here

I sprang with the quickness like lightning, disappeared

Artie joined Sam in the rap, doing some weird coordinated moves or something.

Artie and Samantha:

I whistled for a cab and when it came near

The licence said fresh and it had dice in the mirror

Samantha:

If anything I could say that this cab was rare

Artie:

But I thought, "Nah, forget it'"—

Both:

"Yo, homes to Bel Air!"

Jake and Ryder eventually joined them again, and by then the whole bus was filled with music.

Artie, Samantha, Jake, and Ryder:

I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8

And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later'

I looked at my kingdom

I was finally there

To sit on my throne

New Directions:

As the Prince of Bel Air!

Mr. and Mrs. Schue were watching the kids the entire time, and cheered as they sat down and talked the rest of the way.

 "Alright," Mr. Schue said once everyone was off the bus and fitted in one of the hotel rooms they have. "So, I decided to do guys in one room and girls in another again. Quinn and Mercedes will have their own room, as will I and Emma."

"Great," Melissa said. "Now WHAT'S THE SETLIST?"

"You don't need to shout," Mercedes responded. "Calm down."

"Actually, I was getting to that," Mr. Schue spoke. "There are two days of Nationals this year: the normal competition and the Final 3."

"So, kind of like the X Factor?" Tina asked.

"Sort of. Anyways, I prepared two setlists, in case we get in the Final 3."

"So, who's on what setlist?" Ryder then asked.
