Ethic hadn’t even touched his daughter yet.
This the shit that disgust me about his burnt face ass
He may as well had been carrying a sack of groceries he was so disconnected.
DISGUSTING
The logic of men blew her.
Niggas loved to exist in gray zones where right could be wrong and wrong could be justified. It was all good until a bitch tried to tip-toe in the gray zone too. Then their stomachs got hollow, and a bitch becomes “for the streets,” all because she matched a nigga energy.

Separation is necessary for growth,
Love was a hell of an addiction.
It’s like Déjà vu all over again. Love a nigga, get left, find out some fuck shit about him.”
These niggas kept her on a fucking yo-yo and it was exhausting.
“There is nothing more beautiful than a Black father with his babies.
“Sometimes you forgive just to keep the people you love in your life,”
“Everybody is afraid of somebody,”
all fear ain’t external,

“Then stop chasing her if you ain’t gone fully heal, because if you hurt her again, won’t be no family, no forgiveness,”
An unhealed man can’t lead
“Let’s go bruh,” Isa called from the door. “I don’t want no smoke out here.” “You can’t handle this smoke out here,” Ethic shot back. “The sooner you niggas remember its levels to this shit, the safer everyone will be.” “We with you, big dawg. We keeping the peace around here. It’s all respect,” Isa shot back.
When Ezra gets to Ethic’ing …. WHEW!
