Lyric 🦋
It was so much tension at the table I could pass out. It felt like I couldn't breathe. I wanted to enjoy my food but I felt like somebody would be mad that I was enjoying it.
What shocked the hell out of me was how mad London was. She was so mad, her face was red. I knew Rashad's problem with King but I didn't know London's. Maybe she was just mad because Rashad was mad.
"So when did you get back?" King asked me.
"A month ago." I said. "When did you get out?"
"Friday. Been laying low. You look good." I heard Rashad scoff.
"Thanks."
"King and Rashad. I need y'all to settle y'all differences." They mama Ms. Tiara said. "Y'all know how we feel about feud in the family."
"He was disrespectful."
"Nigga I was trying to look out for you."
"By calling me all kinds of pussy ass bitch niggas?"
"I apologize for that but I was mad that you went down this road. You was supposed to be a ball player and make it out this shit."
"Life happened King. I stepped up as a man. It is what it is. I don't hold a grudge against you but I won't take disrespect likely. I ain't the kid you knew before you got locked up."
"I see." He said. "No hard feelings though bro."
"Straight up." They slapped hands. Niggas make apologizing to other niggas look easy.
"LoLo fix yo face."
"Sorry MawMaw." I heard King chuckle and that made London frown deepen. "The fuck is funny?"
"London." Maw Maw and Ms. Tiara both said.
"You got a lot of animosity sweetheart. Is there a problem?"
"I just don't like you."
"Oh you don't like me now?"
"What's the issue?" Rashad asked frowning.
"Imma head out MawMaw." London got up.
"No you're not. Go in that backyard and take a breather." She huffed and did as she was told.
"Imma go check on her. Excuse me." I said leaving the table. I went in the backyard and she was pacing back and forth.
"London." She looked at me and I walked to her. "What's wrong? What's your issue with King?" She sighed.
"I'm always on you and Rashad head about honesty so I guess I don't have a choice." She looked up before looking at me. "Me and King used to mess around."
"What? How deep was it?"
"I was in love with him."
"Oh my Lord. When did? How did?"
