Empire

The Outspoken King

Last night made Naomi wonder what the he'll did bunkie mean? Of course Lucious is no saint but...Anyways Naomi was at home writing lyrics for her song but something didn't seem right. "What the hell" Noami mumbles to herself as she puts down her pencil. Noami then grabs her phone and puts instrumental music she came up with.

"Almost missed my flight today
I look good even though I feel shitty
I just got back out this way
You already got plans for the city
Call 'em off, could you call 'em off for me?
You're always goin' on and on
Got it all, ask me why I'll never leave
I don't go out much"

Noami sings as she then stops when she receives a call from her mother. "Hey mom" Noami greets as she sits in her bed. "Hi baby. How are you?" Cookie asks as she smiles at the thought of her daughter. "Fine just working in this song" Noami answers as she looks at her notebook with her lyrics on it. "That's great. You think you'll get it done before Leviticus?" Cookie asks making Noami look at the phone. "Uh yeah I think so why?" Noami asks confused. "Well you are performing for Leviticus so finish it" cookie says making noami's eyes widen.

....

Naomi stands in the studio, frustration gnaws at her as she struggles to piece together the song that she's been working on for days. As she sighs she hears the door creak open revealing Khalil.

"Hey,happy to see me already," Khalil says teasingly, leaning against the doorframe. "Whatever floats your boat" Noami teases back. "So what you go so far?" Khalil asks as he sits in the chair.

"Nothing much I keep getting stuck" Noami says annoyed. "Lemme hear it"Khalil says causing Noami to sigh and put on what she recorded already.

Almost missed my flight today
I look good even though I feel shitty
I just got back out this way
You already got plans for the city
Call 'em off, could you call 'em off for me?
You're always goin' on and on
Got it all, ask me why I'll never leave
I don't go out much

Chorus:

But you should come through tonight
I'm chillin' on the Westside, boo
Call my homegirl, tell your best friend
You can slide too, on the low, a remote location
I don't want them see me gettin' faded
You should come through tonight
I only kick it with a tight crew
They won't tell, 'cause they tryna live they best life too
On the low, on my own, I be wavy
Hit mе on my phone, I'll be waitin', yeah-yеah

Khalil listens attentively, as his head bobs to the beat. When the track fades out, he leans back, thinking for a moment. "You've got something good here, Naomi." Khalil says making Naomi sigh. "Yeah but it's missing something I just don't know what" Naomi says sitting in the chair annoyed.

"Alright put the song back on" Khalil says as he walks into the studio booth. Naomi looks at him as she puts the song on.

Verse 2: [khalil]
Lookin' at you cry, goin' crazy
If I could, I would take the pain away
I don't see that smile I made
You already made plans that ain't with me
Tryin' hard, I been tryin' hard to breathe
Inhale, exhale, you expel what you been doin' to me
Fightin' it off, you been fightin' me off for weeks
Don't leave, 'cause I need ya

Chorus: [noami, Kahlil]

But you should come through tonight
I'm chillin' on the Westside, boo
Call my homegirl, tell your best friend
You can slide too, on the low, a remote location
I don't want them see me gettin' faded (Yeah)
You should come through tonight (Yeah)
I only kick it with a tight crew (Yeah)
They won't tell, 'cause they tryna live they best life too (No)
On the low, on my own, I be wavy (Yeah)
Hit me on my phone, I'll be waitin', yeah-yeah
