Cain
Moments later
"So I heard what happened with you and my daughter, Cairo." OG said to me as I sat there huffing to myself while I looked down at the floor with my arms propped up on the couch behind us.
"I'm old but I still gets news sent to me all the time." He went on as he took a long pull from his blunt before passing it to me.
"So you know it wun' me who started that shit right, OG?" I asked him, taking a pull from the blunt now as he cut his eye at me before he spoke again.
"That don't matter because it's never going to be you who starts it, son."
"That's what it's like dealing with a woman." He shrugged it off as he went on talking to me how I needed to be talked to right now.
That's why I fucked with him so hard because he was like a father figure to me, something I never really had.
Plus he wasn't scared to tell me like it was and I appreciated that.
I respected him for it.
"But you know, you'll always have to be the one who ends it." He said putting his finger up and I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.
"Whatchu' mean?" I asked, waiting for him to finish.
"You have to be the one to sit your lady down and explain to her, what you're not going for and why it can never happen again." He spoke seriously to me and I blew smoke from my nose as I listened intently to his words.
"That's the only way you're going to get through to a woman because if you put hands on a woman, if you step out of character with a woman, if you treat a woman any kind of way that feel may be wrong—"
"—that's all you're ever going to be to them."
"That's all their going to remember."
"Not the fact that they did something that made you upset, not the fact that they may have been in the wrong in the situation but the fact that you reacted in a way that's unforgivable." He went on schooling me and I can't lie, it was the truth.
BG was the one who stepped out on a nigga, she ain't fuck that nigga that night but she did enough to provoke me but nobody talked about that.
Everybody just talked about how I reacted to the shit.
That was the problem right there but I mean, I knew I was wrong for reacting the way I did.
Shit just wasn't right that she wasn't being held accountable now for her shit.
"As a man, it may be hard but you have to realize that when dealing with a woman, you can never let yourself slip up."
"You can never humiliate your woman and make her feel less or make her look less in the eyes of your friends or your homeboys." He put emphasis on homeboys and I chuckled lightly, still listening to him though.
"Why? Because then, they're going to think it's okay to do to her too." He put his finger up, passing the blunt back to me and I scoffed, looking down at the ground as I grabbed it.
