Hey, where is everybody?Huh


climbs d stage,
no crowd,
just me,
d stage,
 and d mic,


nowadays i seems more of a fighter,
even though i would rather b a lover,
i try to always win,
forgettin i can't always  win
i throw punches more than kissing,
and people now know me more for dissing
but its not like am dat bad,
 . . . . well, ok, i admit, am bad,
but well, just wanted to have tins my way,
u know, say my say,
b da best,
stand out from da rest,
but made more enemies than friends,
now they must think am a fiend.
now, i guess i can't always b good,
and i should try to maintain my cool,
u know,
turn d other cheek ,
and try peace to seek.
well, would try to be better now,
no more playing an angry cow,
after all,
we all win to lose,
and lose to win.



drops d mic, walks away,
goes to d bar,
no bar man, no customer, no drink,
no nothing . . . . . . .  .
lays on d counter, and tries to sleep

Epi walks through the crowd. Puts on her best smile and grabs mic from st. kris
. . . .she watch Cupped hands whispering into ears


I'm gonna change everything that holds a mem'ry of you
Move the chairs around take the window curtains down and burn 'em
Take the carpet off the floor throw it out the door it's filled with tears
Everything I find that bring you to my mind must disappear
Everything I see reminds me you were here
Yeah, I'm gonna change everything that holds a mem'ry of you

With a tear running down her cheek, humbly she walks off the stage with the grace of a Panther, smiling

The MC apologize on behalf of Kay for disturbing the peace

It’s hard but I’ll be alright
You thought I lost but I won the fight
 Have you ever seen a cherry blossom tree in bloom?
That’s the way I am looking lying in my bedroom
No longer missing your tender lips, your warm embrace
I am a brand new girl with more style and grace

<picks up the mic & launches poem in a dilatory>


think and think about that night,
was it the chance to make it right?
now we set sail and take flight,
gliding oblivion like a shadowed kite,
distant clouds begin to blur the sight,
and i know tis' eternally my blight,
it could have been purview bright,
for i left the stage for sake of fright,
when i could'a held u so tight,
the chance to leave again to fight,
lost cuz dark has put out the light,
honesty demanded my every might,
instead i gave a but widows mite. . . .

The sweetest pain that gives a painless emotion,
angry passion that leaves an immediate attraction,
surrounded by a feeling that leaves a lasting impression,
like a treasured ornament,
guarded with desire,
but at the end of the night, controlled by the lips
