"Bitch betta have my money,"I sung loudly as my speakers blasted Bitch Better Have My Money by my girl RiRi.

I popped my gum as I headed to the StarBucks that I was meeting Matthew at.

I haven't seen Matt in eight years ,I use the babysit his sister while we sort of dated.

I was surprise he was in town and called me,hell I was surprised he still had my number.

Being the forgetful person that I am ,I tend to forget things so I just kept the same number I had for the past 11 years.

I didn't trust him and on my moving day to California ,Matthew changed he wasn't the same person .He was sneaky and devious and always playing tricks to see another person hurt.It pleased him.

I brought my baby Diamond,my pistol I used for protection just in case.

I parked my car as I put Diamond in my purse .

I got out of car as I strutted in my sneakers into Starbuckets.

I didn't dress to impress with my white crop top tee and black jogging pants with my Blue Legends on.

I took my shades off as I scanned the building with my eyes.

I got a tap on my shoulders as I turned around.

"Amber?"

"Matthew?"

August

I let out a sigh as I shook with nervousness . Been almost 5 years without singing ,but I had to dig deep.Music never left me.

My man Shawn came through and gave me a old school beat.

No pen or paper .Just me and the beat.

I let out another sigh as I looked at Nicki and Mel looking back at me.

Nicki gave a smile as Mel started complaining to her.

I put my headphones on .

"Start the beat bruh ,"I said as the beat rolled in.

I came from drop tops and old school Chevy's
Dope boys rollin' through, shittin' on ya heavy
Fifteens in the trunk beatin' down your block
Only 4 years old when Biggie got shot
I remember playing on the block, hanging on the block
Young niggas slanging on the block, getting off them rocks
Now we livin' better now, Coogi sweater now
Weather still getting colder, we could change the weather now

I stopped as I took in what I just said.

"How was that ?"I asked Nicki and Shawn.

Nicki bit her lip as she stared off into space.

"That was lit bruh ,"Shawn said as I dapped him up.

"I liked it, "Nicki said as I kissed her cheek.

"You only liked it? Why couldn't you love it."

She shrugged her shoulders.

"I loved it Dad ,"Mel said as I smiled.

"Um glad somebody does."

"Long time no see Princess,"Matthew said as I sat down as he sat in front of me.

"Don't call me that ,"I said as he chuckled.

"It's not fucking funny."

"It is.You use to love when I called you Princess ."

"Yeah when I was like 19 ."

"Well Princess we have to talk."

"Figured you wanted something."

He smirked .

"Don't we all."
