Mighty Machi - Matte Black Nails lyrics

FADE IN: MATTE BLACK NAILS A tirade of people walks in the green room. Setting up the room for glam to get ready for red carpet and screening LALA walks into the green room along with MEGAN and her glam squad “Think like a Man Too” She sits at her mirror and grabs the schedule to get a read through of the press run that will occur in moments. Her glam squad sets up behind her. production managers are entering and exiting the room things are being carried out of the room. INT. Living Room- New York City CARMELO just opened Rihanna's Instagram and is looking at her most recent topless pictures and watching the NBA Finals in his living room. He's lying on the couch with his thumb on his iPhone. INT. Green Room A production manager comes to Lala makes an in audible request. Her makeup artist is applying makeup on her face. She remains graceful but obviously overwhelmed by the lack of tranquility in her green room. She grabs her phone out her a**istant's hand and calls her husband, CARMELO LALA Hey baby! CARMELO What up? LALA (Waits for the rest) baby LALA It's crazy you know all these press runs and screenings, you know I love going on tour it's just I'm tired of answering the same questions…. CARMELO Yeah babe. (Carmelo presses speakerphone) LALA (Imitating reporter) How is to work with Kevin Hart? MAKEUP ARTIST makes a face (Continues) You can't tell the truth. So, I'm like a pleasure. He's great so humble and kind…I feeling bad for lying. CARMELO (takes ear off phone goes to menu) Yeah babe LALA: Like now I'm the dressing room with Megan so Kevin can have a greenroom before his goes to his greenroom. That's so crazy? CARMELO: (opens Instagram) Yeah babe like a pre-green room LALA: Then he wants a picture every 5 minutes which would be cool. But, I feel like I'm still on a movie set with all the directions. LALA Stand over here. Squat like this. Put your arms around my neck. Then he's like Matter of fact stand behind me. Or it's don't sit to close put a lady in-between me and the boy for the height differential…Ugh. LALA: I really want to tell the reporter to pa** me the mic so I can finish the interview. (chuckles) CARMELO: (types in badgirl…then back spaces and puts gal RiRi) (late with laugh) LALA: (expecting) Hello?

CARMELO: (brings face close to the speaker) Nah, I just… LALA: Yeah and then yesterday Wendy asks where there any hookups. I just was thinking of TARAJI the whole time. LALA'S MAKEUP ARTIST motions with one hand as if he has a tea cup and the other a saucer.…LALA mouths later and the makeup artist continues to apply makeup. MEGAN grins over at LALA LALA: And the academy goes too… CARMELO is well into Rihanna's Instagram. The next picture is weeks ago and of matte black nails. LALA: What are you doing? CARMELO: Listening to you… (cautious to not allow Lala to know she's still on speaker) LALA: How's Kiyan? CARMELO: He's sleeping LALA: I've been talking away. Are you good? How has your day been? CARMELO: Chillin, practices, shooting around nothing important LALA: Oh. Yeah I still haven't picked the dress I'm gonna wear nothing it's just been that chaotic. CARMELO looks over multiple s**y pictures of Rihanna and blurted CARMELO: Why don't you get some matte black nails? LALA: (puzzled) Excuse me? Matte Black Nails? Out of nowhere? Matte Black Nails.

Makeup artist shaking head and pursing lips goes to phone shows Lala picture of Rihanna's with matte nails. LALA: Carmelo, we need to talk CARMELO: Babe, we been talkin'.
