Thems the breaks 

I fucked up and tried to fix it but everyones left my Party, getting kicked out your job at the worst time for anyone else to pick up the torch.

“I know that there will be many people who are relieved, and perhaps quite a few who will also be disappointed.

“And I want you to know how sad I am to be giving up the best job in the world, but thems the breaks.”

Cheeks 

An Irish phrase meaning shit, derived from ass
(Not to be confused with the literal description of one's buttocks)

"Did you hear the song Aylek$ dropped?"
"Hardly. Her music is absolute cheeks."

"My boyfriend say LaFlame is cheeks."
"Tell your boyfriend I said it's his mixtape that's cheeks."
