3 years.

That's how long it's been since my debut album released.

4 years.

That's how long it's been since I shook the media by leaving the band.

"Go on and take some of this shit. I know you're gonna need it," Griff says, handing me a freshly rolled blunt.

"Why?"

"Cuz I know your hurting man. You should be happy, three year anniversary of Mind of Mine but I know your over there thinking bout them white boys," He chuckles coldly.

"I have a girlfriend, why would I be thinking about them?" I asked. He was right though.

"Bro, your gay. Stop frontin. You may be able to trick the media, but I'm not just anyone," Griff responds, giving me a hard look.

"I'm bisexual."

"Still a homosexual who is in love with two men at the end of the day," He shrugs.

Fuckin' n****s 'cause you miss me

(You just want attention)"

"Are you trying to hurt my feelings or something?" I ask. "Because it's working."

"You need to hear these lyrics man. I know you see the relation to you," He says, unspoken words fill the air.

"Especially that last part."

"Louis and Harry were fucking before we got into a relationship Griff." I remind him.

"They stopped fucking each other after they got you though and you know that. After you left they got salty and that larry shit has only been progressing," He snaps back.
