PIMP OR PREACH Part4

He made it a point to stay super sharp and G’d up. He always had a smoking outfit on, especially on Sundays.  Robert Hall was one of his favorite department stores that had Italian cut suits and boss shoes. It was obvious his parents enjoyed dressing him because he didn’t have a job and had a different suit on practically every Sunday.  The church he went to was like a big fashion show, as a matter of fact it was a Big Fashion Show and you had better make sure you had it together in the arena of dress to impress. From hot Italian name brands, to Hollywood Swap Meet back in the Alley knock offs, it was there. “All eyes on me he claimed, because I’m looking pretty. I’m Handsome, I’m Fine, and I’m Cute. Hey! I’m a Boss and when you look good you feel good, all the way to the mirror and back to the front door. From head to toe I impress myself with ain’t no stopping me now sugar. I look fabulous and this is what church must be all about.” Yep, that was Payroll’s Sunday morning anthem and he lived by it righteously.

THE BALCONY:

For the most part all the young folks sat in the balcony. The balcony was the place for Payroll to mingle and get to know folks. Check out the chicks, eat, drink, and get his rap on. Seems a bit odd for things like this to go down in church no matter where you’re sitting at but it did. And Payroll fell in line with everybody else just to see how far it goes. So to his credit he didn’t start the mess he just joined in. There was always some usher up there trying to keep it quiet, and they would look at him and be like whatever dude! And where there’s a will there’s always a way and Payroll always found a way. There was this chick name Tee who always graced the balcony with much flavor and Payroll made her his number 1 favorite. She’s every bit a 12 in his book. Payroll was sweet on Tee because Tee kept it real. Offering time was his favorite time because it gave him an opportunity to see what Tee was really working with. Offering time was when everybody woke up and paid close attention.
