Raven's POV
"These are great seats." Alex says as we sit down in our box seats here at Mile High Stadium in Denver.
Tonight is Beyoncé's final concert of her Renaissance Tour and the national team, except for Freya, is watching from the comfort of a few luxury boxes that Freya arranged for us to watch the concert in.
Freya's gonna be playing drums.
"Katana is this your box?" Emma asks.
Katana and Mikaela own the Denver Broncos.
"Yeah." Katana says.
"Freya?" Talia says as she looks out at the stage.
"Uh hi everyone." Freya says into a microphone. "Ooh how does Mom do this?"
"What's she doing?" Azura asks.
"Uh the opener dj dude had to cancel because of a family emergency so I'm your opener tonight." Freya says. "And my Mom has always wanted to see me perform in front of a big crowd so we're killing two birds with one stone."
There was never an opener for this show.
This is just to surprise Freya's Mom.
"So I hope you like my songs." Freya says as her first song instrumental starts playing.
A few seconds into the instrumental Freya starts singing.
Mama always told me
That I was too naive
Gave away my trust for pennies
I said 'Don't you worry'
Didn't think that I'd be
Broken down and crying
'Help me'
Wrecked? Check
Heart? In debt
All you do is come around
Just came here to collect
Wrecked? Check
Heart? In debt
Don't you know that
I cried tears of gold for you
I sit here poor for you
Collect my pennies and my dimes
That's why you love it when I cry
Platinum love for you
I'd give no less for you
Generosity's my enemy
So I'm broke and
Your heart's rich because of me
Know that this is my fault
Gave a little too much
Knew that this was gonna happen
But I'm not gonna lie
You can make me cry, thousand times
I come running back like
'What is going on with my head?'
Wrecked? Check
Heart? In debt
All you do is come around
Just came here to collect
Wrecked? Check
Heart? In debt
Don't you know that
I cried tears of gold for you
I sit here poor for you
Collect my pennies and my dimes
That's why you love it when I cry
Platinum love for you
I'd give no less for you
Generosity's my enemy
So I'm broke and
Your heart's rich because of me
And the worst part is I'd do it all over again
No, the worst part is, I know it's never gonna end
I keep coming right back like a maniac
I keep coming right back like
Oh, oh
And the worst part is I'd do it all over again
No, the worst part is I know it's never gonna end
I keep coming right back like a maniac
I cried tears of gold for you
I sit here poor for you
Collect my pennies and my dimes
That's why you love it when I cry
Platinum love for you
I'd give no less for you
Generosity's my enemy
So I'm broke and
Your heart's rich because of me
"Sexy ass singing voice." I mumble.
"FYI before any of you go tweet about me and Raven being on the rocks, that song wasn't about her." Freya says then her next songs instrumental starts playing. "This one is though."
"Ooh." Jaelin says then Freya starts singing.
I'm not scared of lions and tigers and bears
But I'm scared of loving you
I'm not scared to perform at a sold-out affair
But I'm scared of loving you
Am I the only one who thinks it's an impossible task?
Why it don't last?
Is that too much to ask?
Why do we love Love, when Love seems to hate us?
Sorry if I sound so filled with gloom
You say you care, and I know you do
But this is from my experience
And my conclusion only makes sense
Just 'cause I love you, and you love me
It doesn't mean that we're meant to be
I can climb mountains, swim 'cross the seas
But the most frightening thing is you and me
I'm not scared of lions and tigers and bears
But I'm scared of loving you
I'm not scared to perform at a sold-out affair
But I'm scared of loving you
Am I the only one who thinks it's an impossible task?
Why it don't last?
Is that too much to ask?
Why do we love Love, when Love seems to hate us?
Most circumstances, I know my fate
But in this love thing, I don't get the game
Why does it feel like those who give in
They only wind up losing a friend
Just 'cause I love you and you love me
It doesn't mean that we'll ever be
Fly 'cross the ocean, sing for the queen
But the most frightening thing is you and me
I'm not scared of lions and tigers and bears
But I'm scared of loving you
I'm not scared to perform at a sold-out affair
But I'm scared of loving you
Am I the only one who thinks it's an impossible task?
Why it don't last?
Is that too much to ask?
Why do we love Love, when Love seems to hate us?
I'm not sure. No, I'm not sure
But if we never try, we'll never know
It's better to have loved than not to love at all
Not trying is worse than to stumble and fall
And if we do
I'd rather it be with you
Cause at least there will be sweet memories
Oh, I'm not scared
I'm not scared of lions and tigers and bears
But I'm scared of loving you
I'm not scared to perform at a sold-out affair
But I'm scared of loving you
Am I the only one who thinks it's an impossible task?
Why it don't last?
Is that too much to ask?
Why do we love Love, when Love seems to hate us?
"Looks like she has her Mom's stage presence." Christen says causing Freya's Mama to smile.
"Now this next one is a mashup of 90s rap that my Moms put me on to." Freya says "So I hope you like it."
"Well this should be cool." Sophia says as the instrumental starts then Freya starts singing.
Stop, drop, shut 'em down, open up shop singin'
Oh, no, that's how Ruff Ryders roll
I'm goin' down down baby, yo' street in a Range Rover
Street sweeper baby, cocked ready to let it go
Shimmy shimmy cocoa what? Listen to it pound
Light it up and take a puff, pass it to me now
I got that wood grain with the leather seats
I got the windows so dark you need a flashlight to see me
Smokin' on that doja
Four of my buddies in the back screamin', "No Limit soldiers!"
One, two, three and to the fo'
Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Dre is at the do'
Ready to make an entrance so back on up
Cause you know we're about to rip shit up
Give me the microphone first so I can bust it like a bubble
LA and Denver together, man you know you in trouble
Ain't nuthin' but a G thang, baby
Y'all loc'ed out people so we're crazy
I remember walking you from school and homies hate me
But I ain't trippin' cause I knew one day girl you'll be my lady
You'll probably have my babies I know it sounds crazy
But thugs need love and if you real girl save me
Wake up, wake up, wake up it's the 1st of the month
Get up, get up, get up go cash your checks and get up
Wake up, wake up, wake up it's the 1st of the month
Get up, get up, get up everybody singin'
Give me two pairs
Cause I need two pairs
So I can get to stompin' in my Air Force Ones
Get to stompin' in my Air Force Ones
Sayin' Colt 45 and two Zigzags
Baby, that's all we need
And we can go to the park after dark
We can smoke that tumbleweed
As the marijuana burn we can take our turn
Singin' them dirty rap songs
Stop and hit the bong like Cheech and Chong
Sellin' tapes from here to Hong Kong
So roll, roll, roll my joint
Pick out the seeds and stems
Feeling high as hell, flyin' through Palmdale
Skatin on Dayton rims
So roll, roll, the '83
Cadillac Coupe De Ville
If my tapes and my CDs just don't sell
I bet my Caddy will
I wanna be a baller, shot caller
Twenty inch blades on my Impala
Caller gettin' paid tonight
Swisher rolled tight, gotta sprayed by Ike
I hit the highway
Making money then fly away
But there's got to be a better way
A better way, better way, yeah
Boys and girls, wanna hear a true story?
Saturday night I was at this real wild party
They had the liquor overflowing the cup
About 5 or 6 strippers trying to work for a buck
And I took one girl outside with me
Her name's Maria, she went to junior high with me
I said, "Why you up in there dancing for cash?
I guess a whole a lot's changed since I seen you last."
She said
What would you do if your son was at home
Crying all alone on the bedroom floor
And he's hungry
And the only way to feed him is to
Sleep with a man for a little bit of money
And his daddy's gone
Somewhere smoking rock now, in and out of lockdown
I ain't got a job now
So for you this is just a good time
But for me this is what I call life, yeah
"Yeah I need that on Spotify." I say as the crowd cheers.
"Same." A lot of people in the box say.
"Hey Mama." Freya says as she looks up at our box. "Do I sing one of Mom's songs?"
Before Freya's Mama can answer the crowd lets out a resounding Yes.
"Never mind Mama." Freya says with a smile then the instrumental for Halo starts talking.
When Freya hears her cue she starts singing.
Remember those walls I built?
Well, baby, they're tumblin' down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make a sound
I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standin' in the light of your halo
I got my angel now
It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out
Everywhere I'm lookin' now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby, I can see your halo
You know you're my savin' grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby, I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo, halo
I can feel your halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo
Halo-Ooh
Hit me like a ray of sun
Burnin' through my darkest night
You're the only one that I want
Think I'm addicted to your light
I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like fallin'
Gravity can't begin
To pull me back to the ground again
It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
The risk that I'm takin'
I'm never gonna shut you out
Everywhere I'm lookin' now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby, I can see your halo
You know you're my savin' grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby, I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo, halo
I can feel your halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo
I can feel your halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo, halo
I can feel your halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo
Halo-Ooh
Halo-Oooooh
Everywhere I'm lookin' now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby, I can see your halo
You know you're my savin' grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby, I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo, halo
I can feel your halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo
Halo, oh oh
I can feel your halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo, halo
I can feel your halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo
Halo-Ooh
After Freya finishes sing her Moms song everyone in the stadium loudly cheers.
"Well I hope you all enjoyed my surprise for my Mom." Freya says. "And I hope you enjoy the show."
