"She keeps doing it, she's not gonna stop." Mom says.

Man
This happened one, two, three times too much

"I don't want you taking care of a grown-ass woman. Y/n needs to get off her ass and do something." Mom says as I unlock the door.

These dumb-ass

"I'll talk to her about it. I love you, bye." I say.

"I love you too." Mom says as I go inside.

I hang up and sigh.

Y/n's been a friend of mine for over a decade now. She was in the military but she got her arm amputated and was discharged. I let her stay with me and I fell completely in love with her.

ain't shit, come up in your crib

Fast forward 3 years, we are married with a little boy and I have never been happier. The thing is that Y/n isn't working even with a prosthetic. Bills are stacking up and she just watches them.

All up in your fridge, can't pay rent

Moms really do know everything.

Look at what you did, listen to your friends
When they say ain't shit, 'cause

"Hey." Y/n says.

"I need $100." I say.

"For what?" Y/n asks.

"Grocery, I haven't gotten my new card from the bank yet." I say.

"Uh, I don't have it." Y/n says.

ain't shit, come up in your crib
All up in your fridge, can't pay rent

I have the money but I wanted to know if Y/n did. Apparently not.

Look at what you did, listen to your friends
When they say ain't shit

"You don't have any money?" I ask.

Umm, you could say that again

"No." Y/n says.

is square like Madison

I sigh and walk away.

I can't even really get mad at them

What the fuck am I gonna do with her?

They fall, then I gotta facepalm

Time Skip

"It's so frustrating and embarrassing that Y/n won't do anything." I say.

Shook him like an 8-ball and it's embarrassin'

"I keep hinting that she should do something every day but she ignores me." I say.

Ten-page text, shoulda wrote a book, coulda made a bag

"She couldn't give me a $100, she couldn't even give me 20." I say.

But he broke and he still waitin' 'til I can chill

"And she keeps trying to make relax when I can't because we have bills to pay." I say.

And he really think I'ma get back to him
Doin' too much, relax a bit

"Maybe Y/n just wants to stay home and take care of Nate. Her parents were never in her life so she wants to be a better parent." Micheal says.

Actin' like that 'cause your dad's a bitch

"Nate is 5, he's a big boy and is at school 7 hours of the day. All Y/n does is take him to and from the bus stop — which I could do." I say.

"I go hard for Y/n — I will do anything for her — I'm just so frustrated." I say.

Shoulda known you had the baddest bitch
Really, you ain't shit, need a laxative

"She just sits on her ass all fucking day while I work my ass off to pay the bills." I say.

ain't shit, come up in your crib
All up in your fridge, can't pay rent

"She gives me bad vibes." Zendaya says.

Look at what you did, listen to your friends
When they say ain't shit, 'cause

"Who? Y/n?" I ask.

"I get she's a veteran with lots of PTSD but something is up with her." Zendaya says.

"Does she work?" Zendaya asks.

"No." I say.

ain't shit, come up in your crib
All up in your fridge, can't pay rent

"That's it. That's why she gives me bad vibes." Zendaya says.

Look at what you did, listen to your friends
When they say, ain't shit, 'cause

"Try talking to her about it one more time." Micheal says.

Time Skip

Y/n laughs and I stare at her.

"Who you texting?" I ask.

"No one." Y/n says.

"Go get ready for bed." I say.

Nate nods and runs upstairs.

"Give me your phone." I say holding my hand out.

"No." Y/n says.

"We've been down this road before, give me your phone." I say.

"I never cheated on you! We weren't together then. I didn't cheat on you and I never have." Y/n says.

Said that's not cheating if I wasn't with your ass, yo

"So why are you keep secrets from me? If you aren't cheating, you have nothing to hide." I say.

You kept secrets and your cousin told me that, so (Your cousin)

"You should just trust me." Y/n says.

"That's not how it works when you won't show me your phone." I say.

Logical thinkin' is just something that you lack, so

"I don't need this!" Y/n says getting up.

What you even mad for?

"Yes, you do. You have no money, you have no job, you have no self respect." I say.

"I'm taking of taking care of a grown ass woman." I say.

I'm not your mommy, find a new hobby

"All of "your" stuff is mine, I bought it. I bought you that phone, I bought you those closed — I'm the reason you're surviving!" I say.

"You think your grandma would be proud of you? Do you think a woman who worked every day for 60 years would be proud of you not working a single day for 3 years? How about I call and ask?" I ask.

I'm not gon' key your car, I'll call your fuckin' mom

"I'm gonna tell you think one more time since you can't get it through your head. Get a fucking job." I say.

You should have paid my rent, go get a fuckin' job

I walk away and go upstairs.

Time Skip

The door opens and Y/n comes in.

"Look who's back." I say.

"I admit that I have been a freeloader and taking you for granted." Y/n says.

ain't shit, come up in your crib
All up in your fridge, can't pay rent

"I talked to Zendaya and it took some convincing but she got me a job as an editor for season 4." Y/n says.

Look at what you did, listen to your friends
When they say ain't shit, 'cause

I nod and smile.

ain't shit, come up in your crib
All up in your fridge, can't pay rent

"That's good to hear." I say.

Y/n smiles and I hug her.
