We had been running past and through unwanted crowds. 

"Is it true that you were involved in Marcus's gang, Johnny?" 

"Is the gang leader your father?" 

"Were you actually kidnapped by these gang members, Ms. L/N?" 

His grip was tight on my (hand/paw/hoof) as we pushed past photographers and journalists. 

We had no idea how the word got out that Johnny was in a gang. What worried Johnny himself was that Buster would kick him out of the group; however, I had reassured him time after time that Moon wasn't like that. He knew Johnny wasn't like them. 

I knew he wasn't like them. 

--- 

I, I want to cry.
I can't deny.
Tonight I wanna up and hide, 
and get inside.
It isn't right.
I gotta live in my life.

I know I, I know I,
I know I gotta do it.
I know I, I know I,
I know I gotta do it.

Buster had emptied out an unused room for me to use as a studio; he refused to leave me out of the group, despite my requests for him to not have me sing.
He denied, saying that he would never let me waste away such a brilliant voice. 

While I took it as a compliment, I was...nervous. I was scared. 

Meena would do sessions with me to help me build up my confidence. My mother would sometimes visit the theater; by now, she was pretty good friends with Moon.

Other than the press...things were okay. 

Gotta turn the world into your dance floor.
Determinate, determinate.
Push until you can't and then demand more.
Determinate, determinate.

You and me together,
we can make it better.
Gotta turn the world into your dance floor.
Determinate, determinate.

I hadn't yet noticed the gorilla outside my studio leaning against the wall of the staircase with his arms crossed. I had a friend with me today to help me with the rap.
After the next chorus, I let him take over. 

Ironically, his name was Wen as well. 

It's Wen and I'm heaven-sent.
Use it like a veteran.
Renegade, lemonade,
music is my medicine.

Go ahead and try to name a band we ain't better than.
Reason why the whole world's picking us instead of them.
People need a breather cause they're feeling the adrenaline--

Stop!
Now hurry up and let us in--
knock!

'Cause we're coming to your house and
people keep on smiling with lemons in their mouth.

I'm the real deal,
you know how I feel.
While they in it for the mil I'm just in it for the thrill.
Get down now,
I ain't playin' around.
Put your feet up on the ground,
and just make that sound like.

Gotta turn the world into your dance floor!
Determinate, determinate!
Push until you can't and then demand more!
Determinate, determinate!

You and me together,
we can make it better!
Gotta turn the world into your dance floor!
Determinate, determinate!

Come on and, come on and,
come on and get it going!
Come on and, come on and,
come on and get it going!
