The Drop

Walternate Universe DD-4841

I went into my bathroom to open the portal
But another me from an alternate universe appeared
“Who, in the blue hell, are you?” I asked him puzzled
“Good luck in your mission” he told me as he leered

“TOTO who was that?” I asked my handler later
“He replaces you while you’re in another world
Your alternates selves also have assignments
They take care of your work, your family, your girl”

“When you say they take care of my girl how exactly…”
“We don’t have time right now, you need to get to the rave”
TOTO rushed me, giving me some strange clothes
“We need to get you there before the next wave…

In this world you ended up being a successful DJ
Now you have a residence at an upscale Las Vegas club
But you discovered a way to highjack high frequencies
In this universe your stage name is MC Dub-Dub”

“Dub-Dub? What the?” I began “It’s for W!” TOTO said
“Now hurry up and stop it before it comes out the speakers!”
As I looked at my itinerary before the portal closed TOTO yelled
“Your alternate is going to kill people with sound seizures”

I came out the other side in an alley behind a big Casino
So I double timed it and hurried to get into the club
But a crowd of people were still waiting to get inside
When a security guard notice me a yelled “Hey Dub!”

“What’s poppin’ my brotha?” I told the huge guard
“Aren’t you supposed to be in there already?" he said
“I had to step out a get a breath of fresh air” I replied
“Go drop that beat D!” he said as I began to feel some dread

The music was loud and bumping
The crowd was dancing and jumping
Several twenty-something PYTs noticed me and started twerkin’
They must’ve been doing pills and poppers
And apparently Dub-Dub is a panty dropper
They were feeling up on me until I yelled “I got’s to get to workin”

I snuck around the back of the stage avoiding security
Then I saw my alternate self, skinny brown dude, high as a kite
I looked at the instructions on how to switch out the music
I kicked him in the nuts and while he was down I took the mic

“Are you ready?” I said on the mic trying to get them hyped
They yelled yeah while I was trying to figure out the turntable
“I said are you ready?” as I went through his current playlist
Then I found the file he appropriately labeled – “Very Unstable”

As the music crescendos I erased the file
Right away I knew the place was going to fall apart
All the clubgoers were getting ready for the drop
But I replaced it with Hank Williams’ Your Cheatin’ Heart

They all stopped dancing in total disbelief
As Dub-Dub was getting back up I snuck backstage
I completed my mission in less than an hour
And my alternate was sure to feel the raver’s rage
