We was all in the game room at Tony's crib chillin, higher than a mufucka for real. But after what we had all heard today with these guys, I had become way more grateful for my queen. Iris could definitely be a handful but one thing for sure, is she's for me. I lightweight felt crazy because I knew why Toya made that move, but it was just the right way to handle it. I know for sure he wasn't seeing it like that now, but at least she was real. Because Riek's girls were definitely not right with how they handled their shit for real. No lie, both of my niggas was hurt and I hated to see it. The only bright side is I know Riek's music is about to hit! Most artist best hits come from being hurt. And Tony about to have business running better than ever because his focus is just on his son and the game. For all the wrong reasons, I thank these girls for how they played their cards for real. But I knew this was about to be an uphill battle. "You know what the fucked up part is: we're always gonna be considered the problem, no matter what they do. Women are a mufucka. Like they can manipulate a way to become the victim in a situation that they created. Shit is wild." Jay said in a drunken stupor. "Because they know we can't live without em. As fucked up as that sounds, it's true." Tony said. "False! We can live without women, we just couldn't have been born without em. I've gotten this far in my life without my moms, so I can say a woman isn't necessary. And this might sound like an oxymoron because I have 3 women at home, but realistically I'm the breadwinner and I take care of them. I'm the nurturer, I'm the cook, I clean, I make sure them kids are good. The women are extra to me, but I don't need them. The sooner that y'all all realize that you bring something to the table as well, you'd be less pressed about these women. Respectfully of course." Mar said. "I'm inclined to agree with Mar, I barely had a relationship with my mom and I turned out just fine. And truthfully, I wish I had that, but I didn't need it. I didn't need a mom to know how to treat a woman, I treat Iris like a queen regardless. Don't get me wrong, as much as I adore my girl, I'd be alright without her. But I know she needs me in order to function properly. You gotta train your mind to be stronger than your emotions or you will lose each and every time. Like women know what they bring to the table and I respect that, but you recognize what you bring to the table too. Not trying to sound sassy or no shit like that, but my niggas we all trophies." I said and for the first time Riek sat up straight and nodded. "You right. I mean I am their rock, their shoulder and I be there supporting through everything. And here they go accusing me of some other shit and then when I even presented to them what I had been busy doing, it's 'that's nice'??? Nice?? Like they have no idea the stuff that we have been through to make that money. Like all my effort went in vain. What other nigga gone do that for them? It's like when they started getting a taste of fame, they switch up. Didn't even get to reach the peak of success before the switch up. That's cool though, it'll be their loss when they see what else is really out there for them." Riek said and the sad part is he's right. "Shit but wait and see what's in store for you bruh." Jay told him. "The real question is what is your other shorty saying? You keeping that one?" Tony asked and that was the real million dollar question. We all looked at him. "I hadn't talked to her much before this morning when we met up for coffee. Like she's really still down for me, she just feels indifferent because of how shit played out. Basically she's on some let's slow down and get to know each other before deciding what to do." he said. "It probably made her feel weird though because she even said that day she would've just removed herself from the equation if she was the problem and they basically told her no, they wanted her to stay. That's some weird ass shit." I said. "Naw that ain't weird, they just wanted to be on their own and used her as the scapegoat realistically. The same way Toya tried to do Tony, is what they did to Riek. It would sound fucked up if they was all the way raw with it so they talked around it. Imma just tell y'all the real, let them do them. When you give em space to do what they want, they're showing you what they'd rather do. Let them because ain't no point in keeping someone who don't wanna be kept." Mar said. "I just don't have a nicer way to put that, let them do them and focus on you." "That's where Dom got that shit from." Jay said. "Yeah because I'mma give my sis the game so a nigga can't game her." Mar said as he flashed this look at Jay which we all knew to just let that shit slide. "See your problem is Jay, is you're used to carrying yourself like a trophy, that you mishandle one when it's in your hand. You're on the verge of fucking up with Suki because of you not letting the shit you fucked up go. Sooner or later she's gonna get fed up and leave unless you tighten the fuck up. You not no bad nigga, and all of us can vouch for that. Forgive yourself for the past and move the fuck on." Mar finished. "Tony...I ain't even gone lie bruh, I really want you to be like fuck shorty." Riek said and Tony just looked over at him. "Hear me out, you are probably the coolest nigga on the planet and you practically worship the ground that your girl walks on, noble shit. And then she meets somebody else and wanna see what that's like?? After you having to nurse her back to par, go through the ringer, change for her and all that shit...man I don't know. That shit pissing me off for you." "He might be drunk, but he got a point." Mar said. Yup...nothing is getting accomplished today.
