"let's do it again" I sigh, listening to myself on the speakers in the studio.

"again?" Isaiah says, leaning back in the chair.

This is approximately the 30th time we had recorded my song and something about it just wasn't sounding right and I didn't know what it was.
I wasn't used to having to listen to my own songs and knowing what needed to be changed because robb was so good at it. I sung and he fixed it. no questions.

I was getting irritated with Isaiah. HE asked if I wanted his help and now he's acting like i'm bothering him. I understand this is taking longer than he thought it would but HE volunteered. I need to send a song to the label and because i'm behind on my deadline. I've been so focused on Jahseh, robb and everything else that I forgot about it.

"if you have somewhere else you'd rather be then you can go." I say, pressing play on the soundboard listening to the song again.

"I said I was gon' help you and i'm gonna help you" He says, rewinding the song.

I watch him, closing my eyes trying to feel my way through the song.

he pauses the song. looking over at me.

"i got it" he says, deleting the track we just recorded.

"you're singing, but that's all you're doing" he looks at me in my eyes.

"I don't know when you wrote this but you was obviously going through some shit. I need to feel it. put yourself back into that situation and be in that moment" He finishes,

I nod. I guess I am trying to sing it while disassociating. I don't want to relive it but I have to in order for other people to feel it.

I stand up, walking back into the booth putting the headphones on, signaling for him to start the beat.

Threw away your love letters
I thought it'd make me feel better
I finally got you out my bed
But I still can't get you out my head, ooh
I'm sending you one text at a time
I know you're by your phone
So boy, pick up your line
And I ain't too proud to beg
So, what's been said has been said, hmm
And I need you to know
You don't know what love is
And I need you to know, hmm
You don't know
And you don't know what love is
If you don't put up a fight
You don't know what love is
If you don't stay up all night, crying
You don't know what love is
If you're too good to call a million times
And you say you know what love is
But I swear you never seen it in your life, ooh, hmm, uh
I swear you never seen it in your life, ooh, uh, hmm
I swear you never seen it in your life

(yall missed the lyrics or nah?😏)

I sit the headphones down, walking out of the booth and sitting down at the board.

"I aint no soft nigga or nothing but damn, my eyes was watering" He says, sniffing as if he was crying.

I smile, pressing play on the computer letting it play over the speakers.
