Lyrically yours
You need to be listening to music to do this challenge. I mean, I guess if you have music running through your head, maybe that counts? But my idea was to take a line from the song to which you are listening, and write using it as inspiration, then add another line if it catches your attention, until you feel you are done writing, or until the music ends (I hope the music never ends, but your piece will have to I suppose). Credit the song(s) and artist(s) in your comments and tag me so I don't miss it.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air: I was listening to this 90’s sitcom theme song when I suddenly lost focus.

Now, this is a story all about how

My life got flipped-turned upside down

And I’d like to take a minute

Just sit right there

I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air

In west Philadelphia born and raised

On the playground was where I spent most of my days

Chillin’ out maxin’ relaxin’ all cool

And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school

When a couple of guys who were up to no good

Started making trouble in my neighborhood

Those men were evil.

They did not care who they hurt.

It was as if the devil was inside each of them.

I waved my bible at them.

Told them that they were sinners.

They did not seem to care.

A searing pain formed in my jeans.

I was in the grips of an amazing Atomic Wedgie.

It really hurt. In a good way.

I remember it as if it was yesterday.

That was the 90′s.
