🎬 Episode 3 – “From Pain to Stage”

📅 Spring 2014 — Malik, Age 16

🌆 Street of Chicago, near Malik’s old school

Malik walks past his old school, head down, hoodie on. He glances at a crowd near the gate.

🎤 A big banner reads:

🎵 "TALENT SHOWCASE – Future Stars Wanted!"

Winner gets a record deal and $5,000

👥 People crowd around a table signing up. Malik steps closer.

Out walks a confident, stylish girl in black braids and Jordans — Sasha. She’s now the head student coordinator.

Sasha:

“Hi, Malik.”

Malik (squints):

“Who are you?”

Sasha (laughs):

“Crush girl. Remember? The one who had a crush on you… and every guy in school.” 😅

Malik (laughing):

“Yeah! You the girl who blushed even at the math teacher.”

Sasha:

“Don’t blame me for having good taste. You signing up?”

Malik:

“Yeah.”

Sasha (smiling):

“Good luck. You’ll need it.”

Malik (blushes slightly):

“Thank you.”

They lock eyes for a second before Sasha walks off. Malik signs up.

📖 That night…

Malik sits with his notebook, reviewing “Ding Dong” lyrics.

Suddenly a knock — it’s Sasha.

Sasha:

“I heard you’re doing ‘Ding Dong’. Mind if I rap a verse with you?”

Malik:

“For real? Bet. Let’s practice.”

🎤 They rehearse together. They laugh. They vibe.

They even fall asleep mid-verse on the floor — notebooks and pens all around.

📅 Next Day – Competition Day

🎪 The venue is packed. Cameras are out. Phone lights everywhere.

April sits at the back of the crowd, nervous and proud.

The host grabs the mic:

“Ladies and gentlemen! First up… Malik Carter!” 🎤

🎵 Malik performs “Ding Dong”

He steps on stage, mic in hand, spotlight shining. The crowd goes silent.

(Chorus) Ding dong — pain at the door I ain't run, I dance on the floor Bills stackin’, but I got a dream Turn my hurt to a laser beam (Verse 1) I ain’t choose this life, it chose me Tears in the pot, mama boilin’ tea Shoes worn out, but I still got flow Trey gone now, but he in my soul (Chorus) Ding dong — pain at the door I ain't run, I dance on the floor Bills stackin’, but I got a dream Turn my hurt to a laser beam (Bridge) Knock-knock — it’s me, fate I ain’t late, I just elevate Started broke, I’ll die a king From pain, came my everything (Outro) Ding dong… the world's gonna hear me No silence… I’m born to be seen 🎤📱 The audience is STUNNED. People begin recording.

Phones are out. Cameras flash. A few start chanting:

“Maaalik! Maaalik!”

🎶 Halfway through, Sasha joins in with her verse:

(Sasha’s Verse) Queen from the block, pain in my rhythm Life threw dirt, now I sparkle with wisdom From desks to the stage, I flipped that page Now I shine with Malik — same book, same rage🔥 The crowd goes wild. They finish strong. Lights dim.
