Can't Love The Hood

13 | She Knows

|King Jackson|

Bad things happen to the people you love
And you find yourself praying up to heaven above
But honestly I've never had much sympathy
Cause those bad things, I always saw them coming for me

"Shit bruh, when you gon' get yo' whip? I'm tired of driving your ass around everywhere.", Jaylen asked.

"Man, pops get back today, so trust, I get my shit tomorrow.", I assured him, while taking a drag from the blunt we had going back and forth.

"I'm surprised you ain' got one of these fine Atlanta broads driving your ass around.", he laughed, one handing the steering wheel, and using the other to text away on his phone.

"Man, these hoes getting outrageous b.", I said.

"Shit, tell me about it. That's why I'm happy I got Marie ass solid by my side. These hoes be doing the dummy."

"Man, you don't even know the half.", I rubbed my hand down my face thinking about the Amber, Jayla and Angel situation.

"Shit, what you going through?"

"Man, you know the old hoe I used to fuck with, had to cut her ass off."

Jaylen shook his head at me, with a surprised facial expression. As much of a hoe Amber was, nobody thought I had the heart to cut her ass off, but like Chief Keef said "ion love no thotty".

"What she did?"

"She disrespected ma dukes. I was ready to throw her ass across the damn restaurant.", he stated, passing the blunt over to Jaylen.

"Damn, so who your new one."

"Shit, she a baddie from L.A."

"Like 'Uber Everywhere' baddie?", he questioned.

"Shawty bad as hell yeah, with them Kylie Jenner lips b. On my mom, I swear.", I laughed.

"So what's the problem?"

"She like me, and I like her too, but I just don't feel right about settling down. You know how that shit go, these hoes for everybody.", I said.

"How you know she a hoe though? She just moved here. She let you hit yet?"

"Hell nah, I'm not where close. We just be cooling, but shit, how I know her ass ain' just cooling with all these other niggas."

"Because shawty got morals. She sound like a good girl g, why you putting her through the shits?"

I sat there and shook my head, not even being able to answer that question. He was right, Angel is a good girl, and I really should appreciate her, but all that good girl shit only lasts for so long. Tracy is a prime example of how a good girl can turn into a snake real quick. Once again, these hoes for everybody.

"Man, you trippin'.", Jaylen stated.

I just let his comment linger, as I paid attention to my mom's number arriving on my phone. Along with incoming, back to back text messages from Amira. I answered my mothers phone call, which she sounded distraught and completely disfunctional.
