Libra and Cancer placements need to know that justice will be served. Someone might've done you dirty & backstabbed you, but always remember that you don't have to retaliate & stoop to their level. Keep focusing on your goals. Don't let them dim your light or bring you down. ✨

I spent 13 minutes more than I ever intended in my life discussing Umar Johnson on the radio tonight. It wasn't even on the agenda. But I think my afro was the cause for the audible.
They’ll kill you & say you had weed in your apartment.
They’ll kill you & say you were “no angel.”
They’ll kill you & say you put a middle finger up on your instagram.
They’ll kill you & say they thought your wallet was a gun.
They’ll kill you & always try to find a reason.
Women are so adorable when you compliment their dress and the dress has pockets lol
