Supergirl was currently in her Kara Kent wig and glasses at the front of the concert like usual. She had not expected a rap concert, but she was also aware that Prince Aeric didn't really have a set genre, he unlike many artist chose to not limit himself when it came to music. It was one of the things his fans liked about him.
As the lights had gone out and her bracelet started flashing with the keyboard note repeatedly at a somewhat slow pace, it seemed to build up anticipation in peoples hearts including her own. When Prince Aeric who was on the platform had raised up fully and was standing on the stage, the bracelets stopped flashing and stayed white as he began to sing. (Kanye West - Runaway)
🎵♪🎶And I always find, yeah, I always find something wrong
You been puttin' up with my shit just way too long
I'm so gifted at finding what I don't like the most
So I think it's time for us to have a toast🎵♪🎶
Supergirl watched in shock as a holographic chalice appeared in her hand out of nowhere. The white color seemed to match the concert bracelet she was wearing. A text was shown on her bracelet at this time as well. The text read: 'Raise your drink up and wave it back and forth' As everyone in the crowd raised up their holographic chalice and waved them back and forth like instructed, the chorus of the song could be heard.
🎵♪🎶Let's have a toast for the douchebags
Let's have a toast for the assholes
Let's have a toast for the scumbags
Every one of them that I know
Let's have a toast for the jerk-offs
That'll never take work off
Baby, I got a plan
Run away fast as you can🎵♪🎶
The lit up chalices swaying back and forth all around had looked beautiful, but once the last lyric of the chorus ended all of the chalices in the crowd disappeared at once.
🎵♪🎶She find pictures in my email
I sent this bitch a picture of my d#ck
I don't know what it is with females
But I'm not too good at that shit
See, I could have me a good girl
And still be addicted to them hoodrats
And I just blame everything on you
At least you know that's what I'm good at
And I always find, yeah, I always find
Yeah, I always find something wrong
You been puttin' up with my shit just way too long
I'm so gifted at finding what I don't like the most
So I think it's time for us to have a toast🎵♪🎶
Once again the chalices appeared in every bracelet wearing persons hand and once again everyone raised their cups and waved them back and forth. The people without bracelets chose to either raise imaginary cups up or a drink they had bought before the show.
🎵♪🎶Let's have a toast for the douchebags
Let's have a toast for the assholes
Let's have a toast for the scumbags
Every one of them that I know
Let's have a toast for the jerk-offs
That'll never take work off
Baby, I got a plan
Run away fast as you can🎵♪🎶
The Chalices once again disappeared with the chorus as Prince Aeric continued to sing.
🎵♪🎶Never was much of a romantic
I could never take the intimacy
And I know I did damage
'Cause the look in your eyes is killing me
I guess you knew of that advantage
'Cause you could blame me for everything
And I don't know how I'ma manage
If one day, you just up and leave
And I always find, yeah, I always find something wrong
You been puttin' up with my shit just way too long
I'm so gifted at finding what I don't like the most
So I think it's time for us to have a toast🎵♪🎶
At this point the crowd didn't need the promt as they all began to raise their holographic chalice.
🎵♪🎶Let's have a toast for the douchebags

Run away fast as you can🎵♪🎶
After the music ended, Prince Aeric spoke into the mic. "This next song may come off as a bit preachy but it is dedicated to a good friend of mine that will remain anonymous. He's going through drug and alcohol addiction currently, but he made the choice to get better on his own which takes a lot of will power. He chose family, friends, success, and life over drugs. I am forever proud of this friend. I hope this song reaches those that are also currently in a slumber and need a wake up call".
Supergirl then watched as Prince Aeric with a solemn expression began to rap. (Macklemore - otherside with a bit of red hot chili peppers - otherside sprinkled in at the end)
🎵♪🎶He rolled up, asked him what he was sippin' on
He said, "Lean, you wanna hit it, dawg?"
That's the same stuff Weezy's sippin', huh?
And tons of other rappers that be spittin' hard
Yup, he had five up on
Then went and passed him that Styrofoam
The Easter Pink, heard a rhyme before
Finally got to see what all the hype was on
And then he took a sip, sittin' in the Lincoln
Thinking he was pimpin' as he listened to the system
Little did he know that it was just as addictive as base
Not the kind of hit from the kick drum
Hotbox, let the bass bump
Take it to the face, gulp
Months later the use went up
Every blunt was accompanied by the pink stuff
But goddamn, he loved that feeling
Purple rain coated in the throat, just so healin'
Medicine alleviate the sickness
Liquid affix and it comes with a cost
Wake up, cold sweat, scratchin', itchin'
Tryna escape the skin that barely fit him
Gone, get another bottle just to get a couple swallows
Headed towards the bottom couldn't get off it
Didn't even think he had a problem
Though he couldn't sleep without gettin' nauseous
Room spinnin'
Thinkin' he might have sipped just a little bit too much of that cough syrup
His eyelids closed, shut
Sat back in the chair clutchin' that cup
Girlfriend came and a couple hours later
Said his name, shook him but he never got up
He never got up, he never got up
We live on the cusp of death thinkin' that it won't be us
It won't be us, it won't be us, it won't be us
Nah, it won't be us🎵♪🎶
Prince Aeric sighed softly as the instrumental continued. Dakota city wasn't as bad as Gotham or Moonlight City when it came to crime, but it wasn't far behind and drugs were very common. Many in the crowd could think of a loved one that was struggling with addiction. The people listening understood and felt that sigh deep within their bones. They were tired of losing loved ones to drugs and the people that slang them.
🎵♪🎶Now he just wanted to act like them
He just wanted to rap like him
Us as singers underestimate the power and the effects that we have on these kids
Blunt passed, ash in a tin
Pack being pushed, harassed by the feds
The fact of it is most people that rap like this
Talkin' about some shit they haven't lived
Surprise, you know the drill
Trapped in a box, declinin' record sales
Follow the formula: violence, drugs, and sex sells
So we try to sound like someone else
This is not Californication
There's no way to glorify this pavement
Syrup, Percocet, and an eighth a day
Will leave you broke, depressed, and emotionally vacant
Despite how Little Wayne lives
It's not conducive to being creative
And I know 'cause he's my favorite
And I know 'cause I was off that same mix
Rationalize the shit that I'd try after I listen to Dedication
But he's an alien
I'd sip that shit, pass out or play PlayStation
Months later I'm in the same place
No music made, feelin' like a failure
And trust me, it's not dope to be twenty-five
And move back to your parents' basement
I've seen my people's dreams die
I've seen what they can be denied
And "weed's not a drug," that's denial
Groundhog Day, life, repeat each time
I've seen Oxycontin take three lives
I grew up with them, we used to chief dimes
I've seen cocaine bring out the demons inside
Cheatin' and lyin'
Friendship cease, no peace in the mind
Stealin' and takin' anything to fix the pieces inside
Broken, hopeless, headed nowhere
Only motivation for what the dealer's supplyin'
That rush, that drug, that dope
Those pills, that crumb, that roach
Thinkin' I would never do that, not that drug
Growing up nobody ever does
Until you're stuck
Lookin' in the mirror like I can't believe what I become
Swore I was gonna be someone
And growin' up everyone always does
We sell our dreams and our potential
To escape through that buzz
Just keep me up, keep me up
Hollywood, here we come🎵♪🎶
Prince Aeric then gave a pause and let the instrumental play for a second before ditching the rap cadence he had before and softly singing into the mic.
🎵♪🎶How long, how long will I slide?
A-separate my side
I don't, I don't believe it's bad
A-slittin' my throat, it's all I ever...🎵♪🎶
Somehow the change in tone and melody did not feel out of place as the lyrics and tone complimented the previous rap, perfectly wrapping it up.
