A Story To Tell

Reminiscin'

"Dippin' through traffic tryina get to yoooo luvin'
It's a long way to go crib if you really want somethin' "

"Damn bae you got the yo bumpin' huh?" I holler over this new track my dude cooked up recently.

"Awee yea, ma but check this one out an tell me what you think" he replied.

"I miss the times we was thuggin' wrote this letter fa lil brudda
Nobody don't touch me, I'm thinking bout my cousin.
I miss the times I would ride witcha, and when my time's up, my brudda Ima fly witchaaaaa"

"Shit touched you huh?" He asked me as he wipes away the tears on my cheeks.

"Hell yea...... Made me think of my daddy, man.. Alot of things in my life changed when he died.."

"Like what?"

"Shit, you wouldn't even understand unless I went way back with it babe" I tell him.. I'm not tryina be mean but a niqqa really ain't plan on reliving the shit, ya know?

"Well lets go way back mom, lemme know sumn"

Shidddd, if he insists...

~5 years back~

We been at it for a while now.. Tryina find my father. I never met him, and to be honest, I wasn't sure if I wanted to! For the past I don't know HOW MANY years of my life I thought this other niqqa was my father.. I had a cold heart towards him for showing favorites with his other daughter, only to one day find out IM NOT EVEN HIS!!

Let me introduce myself. I'm Essence Karion West, but everybody calls me Kari. I've been through mo shit than a lil bit, but u wouldn't know it by lookin' at me.. I'm a beautiful brown skinned young woman. I mean, at least that's what they tell me. I really think the compliments are meant for my bouncy, heart shaped ass though. It's in the bloodline baby! I'm still a virgin so where else would it come from? There's so much I could say about myself but I'll keep it at this. You'll learn as time passes... Bitch I'm Kari and I have a muahfvckin story to tell ... .

"Girl, I already knew he wasn't yo daddy. You look just like Jay!"

"Well why the fuck didn't I know???" I'm thinking to myself. I would grow some balls and ask her but its not worth the fight..

"Anyway, yo daddy lives somewhere out in Florida....if he's even still alive.. I ran into an old classmate of mine that says he kept contact with Jay for a while but then....ion know how to tell you this but he had aids......"

This was a couple weeks ago. Since then, I've actually had the opportunity of meeting my daddy and even other siblings! I've asked my momma countless times about going back to visit especially since I recently heard he's in the hospital. But I talk to him everyday until.............
