"Turn my vocals up, switch to Da Agent[1] mode, alright.."
"I wrote this song as a message for help...On behalf of anybody finding they self.."
"I wrote this letter to numb your pain, 'Cause everyday I wake up, I'm feelin' the same.."
"I got issues just like you got issues.."
"I've been hurt, I seen the scar tissue.."
"If I showed you, would you run away?"
"Do I gotta hide 'em for you to wanna stay?"
"Do I, even need you, should I leave you?"
"Do I, gotta be you, just to please you?"
"Do I, say I'm all good, when I bleed you..."
"Through my heart? Quit tearing mine apart.."

Main artists had the hardest work of forming their own sounds and lyrics but cover artists were different though their work also was a bit hard and more perfect at times than that of the main artists, that is how they managed to make a difference.
Kevan rapping on a random sound was what true talent meant, rhyming and flowing with it perfectly made it sound like they had a rehearsal before the free style leaving the crowd dumbfounded.
Eddie was highly in doubt after knowing that this kid before him was actually a real good natural rapper. Even though Klara talked about him before, be really didn't put it to the heart but when she told him to use the rapid beat instrumental to test him, he was surprised since almost nobody at school could drop a freestyle on that beat because it was moving too fast for the tongue yet now, the kid just proved him wrong!
Surpringly if he did t stop the beat, it was like as if this kid was going to carry on maybe till the end or something he really didn't dare to guess, just this guy was the very someone he was definitely looking for.
Looking around, Eddie was more than satisfied to the huge crowd of students who had displeased faces and were impatiently looking at him.
He ofcourse knew why they were displeased, but just that it was exactly what he wanted to see from their faces, they were doubtful and very curious since moat of them knew very well that this kid was rapping on the rapid beat instrumental!
This was simply because none from this school could be so much perfect on that beat without a mess and even dared to drop punchlines in his freestyle. It realy didn't matter if it was someon else's song, what mattered was, could that song ryme with the beat.
....
"He is a genius, very warm blooded!" Eddie praised while looking at the crowd challengingly.
"Da Agent, lone rapper!..Sure, Warm Blood!" [2] A bald student with a hammered voice said supportively to Eddie's reactions.
"The lyrics, sound and beats are just like a perfect studio song! Such a calculative fella. The Calves just raised a genius this year after so many years of shy-pets, haha!" Another student from the Top Grades commented with satisfaction.
....
After listening to some positive reactions from the crowd, Kevan was actually a little bit pleased but not that pleased, he used affectionate lyrics for some people to understand bits of his character but it seems like these guys just enjoyed the song.
Looking around the crowd ounce again, Kevan's gaze met this beauty ounce again, Mercy, at first she did not bother looking at me for even a good time of a few seconds thinking I was just a weird nut who was a still useless crap fresher yet, now she looked at me like as if she was looking at a ghost, she did not hide it at all that even Kevan wasn't so appreciative to that look so he shifted his gaze the other way and besides her, another beauty had generated from thin air, that witch, Habibah.
These two girls were enough to turn the school's attention to them 24/7 just by looking at their breathtaking perfect looks.
Kevan sighed in his heart and decidednot to look at them anymore, he even felt like whenever he looked at any of them, it was like his first time seeing them that he couldn't stop admiring.
Aside them, Momo and other lowkeys of Habibah who were so amused by the recent scene besides Momo who was more than amused with a complete set of admiration pested on her face visible without question.
"I like him! I really like him, very much!" Well she admitted but none was listening to her words by now.
....
"I really wish I could say that this is nothing like you but then it will be a lie because you are always like that. You like what you see not giving a damn about someone who is having it. Will you date the geniuses in the whole of the his school till when?" If Kevan was here, he would just know that the person talking to Momo was the same girl who used to mind other people's business like last time provoking him for not giving attention to Allan, her crush.
"You just like him this much because he seems to be a talented rapper nothing much, that's what he only has as something to move a girl like you anyway. Just don't be so cheap, to be a shame in our presence dating a house boy!" She loudly continued, she really had that talent of still "looking for trouble."
"Oh come on Astrid, you just hate him because he underestimated your crush, Allan and more so in your presence. You even did nothing for him anyway but you claim to love him, telling us everyday how you can catch a bullet for him. What did you do when he was humiliated by Kevan. But me, I can do anything for him, anything more than just catching a bullet, like giving myself to him, all of me!" Momo proudly said the last words with a wide smile and her star-like-love eyes looking at Kevan who was still standing in the middle of the crowd.
A huge round of applause came strait to my ears, hearing claps with praises in them finally made me feel great a bit. 'at least some of them have no hatred towards me' I thought to myself. It was just 5mins but guys seriously enjoyed my company.
"Well well, you just did what I asked for but to be frank, I expected nothing like what you just done. Bravo!" Eddie was ounce again showing his satisfaction for the second time before he finally turned to towards the audience.
"I guess we all know what this young man has just done right now. You are my witnesses, he was running on flow! This guy just dropped a freestyle from a surprise soundtrack with no preparations at all. Now guess what will happen if he gives us a freestyle after a rehearsal." This guy Eddie was really wasting his time in school, he just needed to go start working in auction houses to call for the highest bidders because of his well trained tongue. Kevan didn't think that if it was't for him knowing the principles of soundtracks, "fast, normal and slow instrumentals", he wouldn't have been able to last all those minutes despite his speedy verbal tongue.
The crowd started murmuring while nodding their heads in an agree gesture before Eddie caught their attention ounce again.
"Relax everyone, this young guy will be dropping that freestyle at the end of the mimes party which will be held in the morning of the Welcoming Day party inside the main hall. "
Cheerings from the crowd were heard, as many happy faces were also seen with murmurings not leaving the party either, someone must tell that these guys couldn't wait to attend the Mimes in the morning just three days later.
"Wait up everyone, that's not the best part yet. The best part of this is that, you will be given opportunity to make a collaboration with him. According to his way of twisting the tongue, I think he is even able to sing AGENT's songs. Am I wrong friend?" Eddie now turned his way of adressing Kevan from "kid" to"friend" as he said looking at me him waiting for my reply just like the curious students in the crowd.
'Is singing AGENT's songs a big deal here. AGENT really had hard songs because he was way too fast but besides his fast tongue, there was truly nothing much to praise about him since I knew almost all of his songs' With a nod, Kevan replied bringing in yet another huge commotion from the crowd.
Even some started looking at Kevan with some disbelief in their eyes yet with some anxiety too.
"AGENT's song! Hope you all knows that no one here can do that, it's not that you never tried but you tried and failed now guess what, here comes a miracle which will entertain all of you plus the School Community. We are going to have him as our climax mimer plus freestyle raps x dance. Collaboration is allowed if you really have the qualifications he wants and remember, we will be recruiting new members of the MDD club from the performances in the morning songs and dance vibes."
"So if anyone of you is interested, pay now and get your ticket before the prices rise." Eddie then turned to Ken and said.
"We will be in touch.." He then left with Mercy walking politely besides him.
