Just a squabble

When something is so irrelevant/petty to you that you decide to avoid speaking on it or paying it any mind. That “it” is usually the lame ass antics of an annoying clout chaser on the internet that ducks any real confrontation.
Bro! I heard he’s been sneak dissing mad crazy! You really gonna let homeboy slide? You need to deck that fool!

-nah man, If I do that I look like the bad guy again. Plus it’s just a squabble bro. Let’s be honest here that’s why he has to sneak diss. Think about it.

Yeah you kinda right. Fuck that though he hating.
