Growing up in New Orleans, LA (Hollygrove) I've always followed a certain code... Whether it be the code of the streets, the jump-off code, or the friend code..I've always followed the rules because where I'm from, if you don't...you'll get ya head knocked of (seriously)
Without going into much detail, I wanna focus more specifically on what we call the "G" code. From the suburbs to the ghetto, the G code reigns supreme.
You never ever, ever, ever ever ever fuck your FRIEND"S ex,bf, "friend", dip, or any other adjective that applies.
I'm not sure who invented the G code and when it was first applied, but it has been around for ages. The rules are simple and everyone understands, yet no one follows.
Of course, no one will outright admit to sleeping with their friend's significant other but if you put enough liquor in their system...THE truth WILL come out.
Most recently me and my best friend Joffrey had a discussion on this topic. Joffrey is my ride or die nigga. If he's in jail, more than likely I'll be next to him. If he's in hell, best believe I'm the Devil that dragged him there.
Joffrey believed that it's okay for someone to sleep w/a friends jump-off . He believed that it's the the people that your friend is most serious about, that is off limits. I didn't quite agree.. I mean, how would you know how much someone liked somebody else? For Example: My friend Ashley's sister banned her from dating this guy b/c she kissed him when they were 12! WTF?!?!?!?!?!?--(bullshit)
Fuck all that, I really could care less. That was some female shit. As long as my boi informed me of his intentions, I would be str8, But again, everyone isn't like me. For hours, he and I went back and forth, blow by blow, just running it and then he asked "Would you let me smash A" (Low blow son)
I know--you're wondering who is A?
A was my first love. That teenage love shit and honestly, when I thought about it..HELL NO he couldn't smash A! So, my question was..
"When does the G Code Apply"
Now, I've always followed the code. I mean, it's the CODE! You smash the jump-off, you smash the friend, but you don't smash the homie's wife! That's a sin! I mean, I've seen it on Jerry Springer and Murray and often the characters blame it on the Alcohol---(Shout-out to T-Pain) but come on son, how true can that be ?!
About one year ago, one of my good friends introduce me to their new "friend". Instantly I'm attracted, but as a true friend, I stand down----(I follow the code remember). For about 3 months they date and it's killing me!
I often wondered, what would have happened if WE met first. I mean, was God playing a game? You don't hang meat in front of a lion and not allow me to eat! For months, I wished for their demise and then finally.....it happened. The divorce..
Once I got word that they were through, i did my part in trying to get them back together but just like Bobby Brown taking a drug test, it failed. Let's ::Fast Forward::
About 2 months ago, I'm at this spot chillen w/ some friends when my boi's ex walks in. We stare, we smile, and sparks fly. We play the catch up game, "How've you been","What are you doing", all the while avoiding the "unspeakable persons" name because we knew, that what we were doing is a mortal sin. About 2 hours into the conversation, i'm invited back to the house to listen to Tank's new CD.
:::clears throat::::
Now, EVERYONE knows that when you're invited to listen to anything by Tank, Trey Songz, or Sade, sex is on the agenda...What was I to do? Nigga was horny! But, I can't! That fuckin G-Code! I obliged.
As I drove down the bumpy streets of New Orleans, I asked myself " Are you ready for this Kidd?! you're not following the code!" but who invented this the CODE?! Who says we can't talk?! I convince myself that I would go inside and explain that what we're doing WASN"T right.
As I walk to the door, my mind is made up. I can't fuck over my boy, it's not right! THIS aint right. My THOUGHTS aren't right but .......leaving isn't right either. I was torn......Suddenly, the door opens and I'm instantly placed at the Pearly gates of Heaven. What do i do? Do i go in or stay out? Do I go to Heaven or Hell??
Hell was hot--The Sex Was Good--and HELL NO, I didn't tell my boi!
I follow the G Code!!!!
