Revolution
“It’s after eight. I’m late. They’ve probably already started.I’m excited. I should know better but I can’t help it. I can’t wait to see him. Maybe I didn’t totally blow it after all. Maybe we can have a bowl of Rémy’s stew after we play, and talk. Or not talk. Like we did at Sacré-Coeur. Not talking would be very nice.I open the door and smack into someone. The place is packed. I guess Sunday’s a big night here. I stand on my tiptoes, trying to see the stage. Virgil’s there. He’s rhyming. He’s ...swaggering up and down. The crowd loves it. They’re cheering him on in ten different languages. He’s most of the way through “I’m Shillin’.” I recognize it from his CD.“… I’m not somebodyTill I’m wearing LVA pony, a gatorA big shiny GCall me a selloutBut I’ll make ya shell outBuy this watch, drink that teaYou’ll be just like meSelling sneakers, selling coffeeThe money’s sweeter than toffeeSelling jewelry, selling carsYeah, it’s welfare for starsShe was the shitMade arthouse a hitJust ask Brad PittThen she quitNow she’s pimpin’ vitamin waterAnd tellin me I oughtaBuy a bottle of skunkjuiceFrom her girl Estée LauderHe had the beats, had the swaggerHe was more than a braggerSold his rhymesMany timesNow he’s rich as Mick JaggerHe said, I had to get realMake a deal Work my spielGet my face on the boxOf your kid’s Happy MealI bowed down to the clownCuz I wanted the crownThe silk dressing gownThe penthouse uptownNow I’m a Bolivar smokerPlaying craps, playing pokerI’m a big power brokerAnd Diddy’s a jokerSell your music, your artSell your soul, it’s okayDon’t ever forgetWhere there’s a shill, there’s a way.”He takes a big arms-out bow and the audience goes wild.Jules is behind him.MoreLess
