It is Lincoln slowly walking on to the court
Yeah, real musicYo
Ya just get in that, you get in that head space, ya knowWill somebody get the body bags, working with the beats in 'em, ah
Put the MC's in 'em, season 'em, put 'em on a beat with me, then I'm eating 'em
Lincoln fist bumping his teammates before the game
Get away from the table, you rappers ain't hungry enough
You rappers ain't hungry like ahThey talk about me like I'm here, they talk about you like you was
*SLAM DUNK!*
That nurse came into my room, she told me I'm sick in the head
I'm in hip-hop's hospital bed with a pad and a pen and a brace on my neck
They told me that I'm never leaving, why? I am as ill as it gets
Any rapper that say that they runnin' the game
I'ma come in they session and cut off they legs, woo!
Lincoln intercepts a ball, dribbles it to the other side and dunks it.
Strap a grenade to my head, pull out the pin
My music is mind blowin', ain't nobody do it like I do it
You ain't never been on my level, I gotta part 'em out the way
People talking and acting like everybody gonna get it
Better sleep with your eyes openYou wanna know what I noticed?
Lincoln shooting from a far distance and scoring a perfect, no rim, swish. A perfect 3 pointer.
I look around and my fanbase it ain't ready
That last album was heavy, that last album was gritty
How you gon' match that? Just let me do what I do best
You're better off playing Russian roulette
Then comin' in a booth with me cause I get
A little bit intense, I'm like, "Who's next?"
The scoreboard saying: 38-40. Then it changed to 40-40.
Y'all better watch it, take a look at where the clock is
It's my time, this ladder of music that I climbed
I took the machete, the game isn't ready
Them rappers, they coming up on me
I cut off the ladder, and I told 'em, "Bye-bye!"What? You lookin' for a high-five? Nice try!
Lincoln praying before a game
Do not believe everything that you read on the Internet
I do not know who your dentist is, but he should clean out your mouth
Don't call me a sellout, that's something I've never been
I've been through hell all my life though
But I know where heaven is, father forgive me, for I am a sinner
But you gave me music as medicineAnd nobody want a problem, when they get in my zone better leave me be
I'm a mean MC, better feed me rappers or feed me beats, ah
Feed me both of 'em
They like "Nate, what's it like to be famous?"
Interviewer: Mr. Lincoln Nowak, what's it like to be famous?
Lincoln: Uh... I'll let you know if I make it!
Um, I'll let you know if I make it! YeahI wonder what life will be like if I didn't stick out my neck.
200 dollars inside of my bank account, woo, I was living on that
I need some money to pay for my rent, I need some money to pay for my gas
I'm not complaining, I'm just being honest, I promise that I will not beg for respect.
Lincoln hi-fiving teammates
I get so frustrated, take a look at what I created
Time is wasting and I ain't waiting
I'm a doctor with no job, me I don't have no patients
I keep pacing, back and forth, I keep racing
Lincoln dribbling the ball really fast
You ain't never been in my book and I got a problem with it, why?
'Cause you acting like you read my pages
Lincoln shoots and scores
I wreck these stages, real talk, better give me space 'cause I am chasing
Something they told me that I won't make it, I'm not famous, I'm just Nathan
And I wonder how the world gon' take this
They might hate it, but you know anything about me
You know that don't mean I'm changing
Lincoln hi-fiving fans, hyping up fans, getting into a group circle, etc.
'Cause you know I'm real with it, don't care if you're feeling it
I'm feeling it, you don't like it then deal with it, and if God ain't real, real isn't
Used to wonder why I existed, I exist in the world that's real different
And what you gon' be when you grow up Nate? I doubt they will get it
Lincoln slam dunks
My life is a mess, better watch your step when you step in it
Some off this brain is off limits I'm off in a world that you don't get
'Cause you ain't ever been in it
In ten minutes, I still couldn't explain what's inside my brain, don't mess with it
I've invested a lot of me inside these lines, I'm just protecting 'em
Lincoln doing an "I'm watching you" signal in slow motion
Everybody wanna hear the real version of life, then don't get so sensitive
When I say something a little bit raw
I jot my thoughts and they call it negative
You wanna know where my heart is? I stand out 'cause I wear my garbage
I work my hardest and every time I look into the mirror, I don't forget about where I started
Lincoln slowly walking off the court and into the locker rooms
Tell me what am I doing here?
Tell me what am I doing here?
Tell me what am I, what am I doing?
Tell me what am I doing here?
I said, what am I doing here?
Tell me what am I doing here?
If I'm not being real
Music ends.
It is now in the playoff game. It is the 4th quarter with 7 seconds left in the game. Lincoln has the ball. All of his teammates are putting up their hands, signaling they're open. The ashen haired boy then gets an idea. He runs up to the hoop, dribbling the ball like a maniac, jumps shoots and scores! The whole crowd cheers as the siren goes off.
All of his teammates held him up and chanted "LINCOLN! LINCOLN! LINCOLN! LINCOLN!". After putting him down after a while, he then saw a cheerleader Akari run up to him. She then jumped into his arms. He was now holding her bridal style. The brunette haired girl then wrapped her arms around him and kissed his cheek. Lincoln put Akari down and they shared a kiss.
After breaking the kiss, Lincoln then felt someone hug him from behind. He looked down see feminine like hands. He also noticed a bracelet. He then realized it was his mother. He smiled as he broke out of her hugged, turned around, and hugged her back. "I'm so proud of you, my son." Suziko said. "Thank you, Mama." Lincoln said as he pecked her cheek.
May 11th, 2023
Somewhere in Michigan, Lori is on her phone. Suddenly, she hears Carol's voice, "Lori! Look! Your little brother is on TV!". "Really?!" Lori said as she ran to the living room. It was an interview on a Japanese program. It was translated to English.
"So, Mr. Nowak, do you have good confidence in final game?" the interviewer asked. "Um, yeah, I mean I'm nervous of course, but being overconfident and not being nervous is going to get you nowhere and you're just going to end up cocky. I have strong support in our team. Sakura No Hana for the win." Lincoln said.
"Hmm and who is this young lady with you?" the reporter asked, referring to the brunette-haired girl next to Lincoln. "This..." Lincoln said as he held Akari's hand, "This is Akari. She is my... girlfriend... we've been dating for about 3 months now." as he smiled. "We love each other very much." Akari said as she put Lincoln's hand up to her and kissed it.
In Great Lakes City, a TV has just been broken in a living room in an apartment. "RONNIE ANNE YOU LITTLE PUTA! YOU ARE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE!" An angry Maria screamed. "I DON'T CARE!" Ronnie Anne screamed angrily.
Back in the newsroom, Lincoln is still answering questions. "So, Lincoln, this may get a little personal..." the woman said. "Oh, I don't mind. Go ahead." Lincoln said. "Did you know right now in Royal Woods, your "parents" are in jail right now?" the reporter asked. "Oh, I know." Lincoln said. "Do you have anything to say about that?" the reporter asked. "Well, after all the misery they put me through, I hope they, plus Luna and LJ all rot in prison. I hope Luan rots in a mental hospital for a long ass time too. Decades. Not only that, but I also hope Lola, AKA the antichrist, gets all of her paegent rights revoked, Lana never gets to be part of Bobby Fletcher's race team, and Lisa gets banned from certain areas and get an ankle bracelet at a certain legal age, I have evidence and some documents to back me up for this that will get her on a watchlist for life. I also" Lincoln said.
"Really? Wow! Will you say some of these now?" the reporter asked. "No. I want to save it all for the courtroom. Let it all out in there. It's only a month away from now." Lincoln said. "So, since you have a rising basketball fame, people all around Nagano, especially the ladies adore you, what do you have to say to Lynn Jr?" the reporter asked. Lincoln looked into the camera and said in English, "Try me, bitch. No exclamation point needed.".
Meanwhile in Royal Woods, Lynn just snapped her baseball bat in 2, and Lisa was nervously sweating and heavily breathing.
Luan, behind her back, held a knife. "Come on, Stinkoln, I'd love to see you try and put me into a loony box." Luan said with a disturbing, creepy grin on her face. She then chuckled creepily. "Just keep your little girlfriend or your mommy away... hehehehehehehehehehe...".
Back in the newsroom, Akari got wide eyed at his comment as the reporter did too. "O... ok... wow!" the reporter chuckled, "Do you have anything else to say to the audience watching this TV?". "Yes. I love all you people! You all mean a lot to me. Hugs and kisses. Love love love everywhere! Haha!" he said as he blew a kiss to the crowd and then put his hands into a heart. "Also, to the ladies, he's already taken. He belongs to me. He's mine." Akari said as she grabbed on his arm and hugged it pretty tightly.
"Well, there you have it, folks. Lincoln Kanata Robert Nowak, rising basketball player. Will he take his team to the championship? Only time will tell. Back to you, Brent." The reporter said. "Hmm..." Lori said, "Time to surprise Lincoln." as she typed in flights to Tokyo.
To be continued...
