00:00...on the shot.
00:02Oh, shit.
00:03Why the hell would you post that picture without talking to me first?
00:06She thought you said we didn't have to be a secret anymore.
00:08I noticed last service most of the black women parishioners aren't showing up anymore.
00:12Yeah, they don't like Sarah.
00:14Do you know a Reginald Taylor?
00:17If you can bring him to me, I will make sure that your son is a free man.
00:23Understood.
00:24So what you want with Reg?
00:25I want him behind bars so I can set my son free.
00:28You look out for me and I'll look out for you.
00:30I ain't no son.
00:31I want you to go in there and tell them people about your gambling problem.
00:34So you gonna come inside with me and make sure I go to the meeting?
00:37You better believe I am.
00:39Oh, what do you bet on?
00:42Sports mostly.
00:43You?
00:44How quickly I can get a guy to fuck me?
00:47Boy, don't you see I'm trying to talk to somebody?
00:50Why were you coming out of a grieving partners meeting?
00:53Jacob's dying.
00:56I'll give you five bands if you answer my next question right.
00:59You in or you up?
01:01Don't do it.
01:02Bet.
01:03How many points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks did Jordan have during his flu game?

01:14Easy.
01:15Oh, shit.
01:16You got them five bands off of you, nigga?
01:19Three steals, nigga.
01:20Guess you ain't the super fan you thought you was.
01:22Fuck.
01:23Yeah.
01:24Oh.
01:25Oh, my God.
01:26What happened?
01:27Who did this to you?
01:28Rich.
01:30Hey, man, what the fuck?
01:31What the fuck is you doing?
01:33Why you beating my brother?
01:34Man, he owe me money, nigga.
01:35Give me.
01:36Give me stuff.

01:39Get them.
01:40What the fuck did you do?
01:41Fuck, you mean what I just did?
01:42He just ran my money.
01:43So you shot the nigga?
01:44Get him the fuck out of here.
01:46Get him the fuck out of here.
02:16He's.
02:17Just run around.
02:19So you're being invested in his life for 21.
02:20Good.
02:21Oh.
02:22Well.
02:23You saved Fox your life for 22, what's his ?
02:25Oh.
02:25We are the family.
02:51What floor is he on?
02:52Are you his wife?
02:53No, I'm not.
02:54I'm sorry, then I can't let you in.
02:55We're basically married.
02:56She's pregnant with his child.
02:57Basically isn't married.
02:58I'm his ex-wife.
02:59Does that count for something?
03:00No.
03:01This isn't personal.
03:02It's protocol.
03:03Look, we're his parents.
03:05That's his brother.
03:06Can you let us back now?
03:11Hey, I'll text y'all as soon as I know something, okay?
03:19Love you.
03:20You too.
03:20It was taking so long.
03:43Did Darnell text you?
03:44All he said was he's in surgery.
03:48What does that mean?
03:56It means he's alive.
04:01It's a blessing.
04:05What if he's brain dead?
04:07What if...
04:07What if we got to keep him alive with machines?
04:12I don't know.
04:13What...
04:13What do you think he would have wanted?
04:16I don't know.
04:18We never talked about it.
04:27Me and Rob never talked about what we would do if something happened to him.
04:30I can't lose Emmett.
04:40You won't.
04:43How do you know?
04:44I just know.
04:48Thank you for being here.
04:51Of course.
04:53I love Emmett.
04:55I know you do.
04:58And I like that.
04:59I know what you mean.
05:10Is he gonna be okay?
05:12We don't know yet.
05:14He's still in surgery.
05:16We should pray.
05:17Babe.
05:18Don't.
05:20Don't what?
05:21I am not in the mood to pray right now.
05:23Me either.
05:27Can we get y'all anything?
05:28There's nothing we need.
05:31Let's just be present.
05:35Keisha.
05:36I'll talk to you real quick.
05:37Mm-hmm.
05:49So, what the fuck happened?
05:50Damien came home.
05:54His face was all bloody.
05:56Emmett asked who did it.
05:57He said, Reg.
05:58I thought he was dead.
06:00Did you know he was alive?
06:02So, what did Reg say?
06:03I don't want you getting involved in this.
06:06It's too late.
06:08What are you talking about?
06:11Don't lie to me.
06:15Can I trust you?
06:17You're the father of my child.
06:19He could tell me anything.
06:22The cops is looking for Reg.
06:24And he wanted me to help find him.
06:27Oh, shit.
06:28I just need to know where he at.
06:29I don't know where he at.
06:30So, how did Emmett know where he was?
06:31I think he's staying in Jake's apartment.
06:38Man, what the fuck?
06:39Who the fuck your brother went with?
06:40I ain't telling you.
06:41Nigga.
06:42If Emmett dies, the whole city gonna be on his ass.
06:45Let me go.
06:48You're wrong with this nigga, Hannibal.
06:54You know him?
06:57Yeah.
06:59Yeah, I do.
07:11What happened to your face?
07:14You already know what happened.
07:16Clearly, someone whooped your ass.
07:17I want to know why.
07:19Does it matter?
07:19Yes, it matters.
07:20I should have gave you all the money.
07:23Did you ask your stepmama for money
07:25even after what I told you?
07:26I had to.
07:30You lose another bet?
07:34Answer me, boy.
07:35And now you got your brother
07:36laid up in a hospital bed.
07:39Diane...
07:39Watch your words.
07:41Emmett is going to survive.
07:44Yeah, but what if...
07:47What if he doesn't?
07:51I mean, what if...
07:54Would you have wanted to told me
07:56that doctors don't have the last work?
07:59God does?
08:06Yes.
08:09Oh, Jada.
08:09I don't know what I'm going to do without you, Jada.
08:16Oh.
08:19Oh, Jada.
08:29Damien.
08:29Yes, sir?
08:30If I ever catch you gambling again,
08:34I am going to remove you from our lives.
08:37You can't say that.
08:38I just did.
08:42I'm done.
08:43I'll believe that when I see it.
08:47You better pray that he wakes up.
08:49I can't breathe.
09:05So what y'all about to do?
09:08I want him out of my apartment.
09:09I want him out of our lives.
09:12Well, how do y'all plan on doing that?
09:14Go sit his ass down and tell him what it is.
09:17You can do the talking.
09:17You're going to speak for yourself.
09:19You're a grown-ass man now.
09:20It's time to start acting like one.
09:22Y'all just about to throw him away.
09:25Man, he's y'all's brother.
09:27Emma's more of a brother than me than Reg ever was.
09:30Let's go.
09:31Hey, I need to talk to Hannibal.
09:50What do you want with my husband?
09:52Damn, I ain't know the nigga was married.
09:54Well, you know now.
09:55How can I help you?
09:56Tell him it's about Emmett.
09:57He good?
10:09I know you took him to the hospital.
10:13Is that why you came here with blood all over you?
10:20Come inside.
10:21You're tough.
10:32You should meet my sister.
10:37So I heard Reg is your boy.
10:40Who told you that?
10:41If you're not careful, you can be next.
10:43Nah.
10:44He know better than that.
10:45Does he?
10:45Help me help you.
10:53What you mean, man?
10:55I need eyes on Reg.
10:57Nigga, you know what you're asking?
10:58Yeah, and I also know what I'm offering.
11:00What's that?
11:01Protection.
11:01Oh, so you the cops now?
11:03Not at all.
11:04Yeah, but you working with him, huh?
11:05I ain't doing shit that Q ain't do.
11:07Yeah, and that nigga's dead.
11:08Because I told my boss to kill him.
11:12You the mastermind?
11:13Stay close to Reg.
11:16I don't have a choice.
11:19He's gonna come looking for a place to stay soon.
11:21He might even want to come stay on your couch.
11:25When he does, let him.
11:27Nah, nah, fuck that.
11:28He can't stay here.
11:39Where Keisha?
11:40If Emmett don't make it, at least his legacy will live on to his children.
11:49I could have died.
11:50And what if you did?
11:52I'll be out here like Tiff.
11:54So you're saying you don't want to have a kid with me because you're scared something
11:56gonna happen to me?
11:57I'm saying I don't want to have a kid because I don't want to have kids.
12:00It's not that complicated.
12:04What I do?
12:04Look, clearly we need some help.
12:11That's the Zikta's couples counselor.
12:14I'd rather go to an actual therapist.
12:18So are you saying you would prefer therapy to prayer?
12:22That's exactly what I'm saying.
12:24Okay.
12:25Let's do that.
12:32I love you.
12:34I love you, too.
12:38Now, why would I let a crazy nigga come stay with us?
12:41So we can keep eyes on him.
12:42You move that man in here, and you're sleeping on the couch.
12:51Brother, he can't stay here.
12:53Some things are sacred, and making love to my wife is one of them.
12:56Bro, what the fuck are you doing?
12:58Hey, I'm gonna find out where he land, all right?
13:00I promise.
13:03I got you.
13:05All right.
13:06All right.
13:06All right.
13:06All right.
13:12Get out.
13:22This ain't so clear a trick.
13:23Can't kick me out.
13:24Get the fuck out, bro.
13:32Y'all that's crazy.
13:33Nigga, we not playing with you.
13:35We want you to fuck out our lives.
13:37So y'all serious?
13:39Yeah.
13:42So y'all gonna choose that Kenny Lattimore-looking motherfucker over me?
13:47Y'all flesh and blood?
13:48Get the fuck out.
13:50And be pulled up on me.
13:51Nigga, you beat up his brother.
13:52I would have pulled up on you, too.
13:54If Jake loses a bet, that's on him.
13:56I ain't Superman, and neither is you, and neither is your boy.
13:59All of y'all need to stop jumping in the shit that ain't got nothing to do with y'all.
14:02You ain't have to.
14:03Shoot him.
14:03Man.
14:05Don't you never roll up on somebody if you ain't ready to kill him.
14:08Do you hear me?
14:09Huh?
14:10Huh?
14:12Get out, man.
14:42I'm sorry for your loss.
15:01He's not dead.
15:02He's still in surgery.
15:03If they lose him, they'll never be the same.
15:14How are you?
15:18Scared.
15:23Do you have a will?
15:25No.
15:27You should.
15:28Why?
15:28And we're getting shot is a clear sign that your lives are always in danger.
15:33He's gonna survive this.
15:36And what if something happens to you?
15:38Nothing is gonna happen to me.
15:42That's what I thought about, bro.
15:46I don't want to talk about that.
15:47You don't have a choice.
15:55I want you to meet with my lawyer.
15:57I can't get my own lawyer.
15:59It won't be as good as mine.
16:07People always think they have more time than they do.
16:09Let me make sure my grandson's secure if anything else happens.
16:25Okay.
16:25Okay.
16:26Okay.
16:27What's up, y'all?
16:49What's up?
16:50Where your brother at?
16:52He ain't gonna live for no more.
16:55You don't know where I can find him?
16:56No.
16:57Y'all done with him, huh?
17:02Why you want to know?
17:06I might be done, too.
17:10Y'all be safe, man.
17:12You too.
17:12What the fuck happened?
17:29The nigga busted into my apartment trying to fight me over some shit that ain't got nothing to do with him.
17:34Why he trying to fight you?
17:35Because his brother lost the bet to me, so he tried to settle the shit.
17:39Okay, you know what?
17:40Can you please come sit down?
17:42You're making me nervous.
17:51Why did you shoot him?
17:52I thought he was going to try to shoot me.
17:59Did you really think that?
18:01I mean, we were scrapping.
18:05And he was getting, what, one too many licks in?
18:07No, Candace, it wasn't like that.
18:08I would shoot anybody who'd run up on me.
18:12And look where that's got you.
18:14Homeless and alone.
18:15I'm not alone.
18:20I'm with you.
18:23Yeah, you are.
18:31My own brothers chose another nigga over me.
18:36Okay, look.
18:37You can stay here until you figure out what your next move is.
18:41But if the police show up at my front door, you gone.
18:43I got you.
18:52I got you.
18:52Keep the circle tight.
18:54That's how we move on.
18:56Please don't make us have to do you shy, Steve.
18:58Gripping on their neck till they can't breathe.
19:01If it ain't real, then it ain't me.
19:04Keep the circle tight.
19:05That's how we move on.
19:07Please don't make us have to do you shy, Steve.
19:09I'm way up chilling.
19:10Ain't worried about nothing over here.
19:12The family winning.
19:12It's been inside my heart since.
19:14Been in the beginning.
19:15They try to stomp it out.
19:17Feel like my head's still ringing.
19:18They try to break me down.
19:19But never that, I'm still swinging.
19:21Coming like a dog till you're through.
19:23Got you sighted in the scope.
19:24Make a paper rise.
19:25Vintage like a ghost.
19:26Try to play with me and mine.
19:27If you got it on your mind.
19:29Know I'm coming with the house till you do.
19:31Ripping on their neck till they can't breathe.
19:34If it ain't real, then it ain't me.
19:37Keep the circle tight.
19:38This is all your fault.
19:43I didn't tell him to go confront Reg.
19:47He loves you.
19:50That doesn't mean he has to fight for me.
19:52That's what he does.
19:54He fights for his family.
19:56I'm so sorry.
20:04Admit us who you should be apologizing to.
20:09He can't hear me right now.
20:13How do you know?
20:14I gotta get out of here.
20:23And do what?
20:24Go to Smokey's.
20:25Right now?
20:26I can't take care of him.
20:27I can at least take care of his business.
20:31You want me to go with you?
20:33No, Dom's gonna meet me.
20:36Are you sure you wanna leave?
20:38I feel helpless here.
20:41Well, we'll call you if he wakes up, okay?
20:42That's right.
21:06That's right.
21:06Now you wanna give me the world, but I don't want it.
21:32Offering me diamonds and pearls, but I don't want it.
21:34Give it back to one of your girls that you've been flying in.
21:37Every single night I was making sure you got it.
21:40I put you on top of the world, but you forgot it.
21:43You put that Mercedes for sale and then I bought it.
21:46Couldn't even put up a ring on that deposit.
21:49Didn't even know how to shoot it, so I shot it.
21:52You've been waiting.
21:54How high is coming down?
21:58I've been making rounds that I'll turn it down.
22:05New crib, new car, and some new dick.
22:08I don't care, don't mind.
22:09I don't care two shits about you.
22:11No, baby, this what it is.
22:14No, this what you get.
22:18This what you get.
22:19Damn, Keisha.
22:21You open up this place better than some of our employees.
22:24Damien doesn't need to be on register right now.
22:27And Emmett fired Keith.
22:29He did?
22:30Yeah.
22:33I heard Kenya's back.
22:35Okay, she can work the register.
22:36Can you text her?
22:37Yeah, I'll text her and I'm gonna hit Lene too,
22:39see if she's still gaming help in the kitchen.
22:41Okay.
22:41Who can manage this place while I'm eight minutes away?
22:45I mean, I can't work the front and the back of the house.
22:49Maybe my cousin Serena knows somebody.
22:52I need somebody trustworthy.
22:54I got you.
22:58We all we got.
23:01I can't do this.
23:03So now that I've lost my church
23:05and everything I've worked for, you can't do this?
23:08I didn't sign up for this life.
23:10And by this life, you mean a humble one?
23:11I thought you were gonna follow in my dad's footsteps.
23:14Me too.
23:14But your post got us more attention than I bargained for.
23:18Now he's cleaning up a scandal of his own.
23:20I heard.
23:21And I don't want to add to his stress.
23:23I've been pretty stressed too.
23:26Shouldn't be this hard.
23:27Life is always hard.
23:29We just have to pray through it.
23:36Used to a certain type of lifestyle.
23:38Right now, every penny I have is going into building my new church.
23:43That church is too small for you.
23:45No, it's too small for you.
23:46I can't start from scratch.
23:57I don't have a choice.
23:59Yeah, but I do.
24:02Let me guess.
24:03You've decided to leave.
24:08I'll always care for you, Zeke.
24:10Please don't call me that.
24:18Bye, Ezekiel.
24:22Goodbye, Sarah.
24:29Clearly you two need to be together.
24:31Please don't meddle.
24:32I'm your mother.
24:34It's my job to meddle.
24:35I don't know how to be a pastor's wife.
24:37I tried.
24:38And it didn't work out.
24:41Well, that is a heavy burden to carry.
24:44It was.
24:46Marriage is more work.
24:48I know that.
24:50Sometimes that work seems never-ending.
24:52But with the right person,
24:54it's worth it.
25:00What if it's not?
25:01Ma, I asked you a question.
25:11Oh, my God.
25:12Is this what this city's become?
25:15I'll talk to Kenya.
25:17You need to talk to her father.
25:29Man, what the fuck?
25:30Hey, bro, chill.
25:31Oh, shit.
25:32I forgot to tell you.
25:34This your nigga?
25:34This my cousin, Keith.
25:36He just got out.
25:37Look, I came home late last night.
25:39I didn't know nobody else was here.
25:40Keith, this is Rez.
25:41He's going to be staying here
25:42while he gets back on his feet.
25:44So this the halfway house now?
25:46You can always leave.
25:49I'm good.
25:51You find a job yet?
25:52Give me a break.
25:55I just got fired.
25:57Where you was working?
25:59Smokey's.
26:02Him is right.
26:04You know him?
26:05Just shot that nigga.
26:08You shot him?
26:10Yeah.
26:11For what?
26:13I had to beat his brother's ass
26:14for coming up short on some bread, yo.
26:16Damie.

26:19The reason why I got fired,
26:20he snitched on me.
26:21Damn.
26:22I guess bitch ass is just running
26:24that family, huh?
26:25I heard Emmett tried to kill Duda
26:26and missed.
26:28That nigga ain't no shooter.
26:29I heard Emmett was a getaway driver.
26:31Another nigga gun got jammed.
26:34You know who killed Duda?
26:35Nobody know that.
26:36Nice to see you two getting along.
26:41Y'all hungry?
26:42Always.
26:43Okay.
26:44I'll order something.
26:45I ordered nothing smoky, though.
26:46Yeah.
26:47Fuck them pussy ass niggas.
26:49They ain't that dry ass chicken.
26:50I like their special cheese dick.
26:52It ain't nothing but shredded chicken
26:53and melted Velveeta.
26:54I can make that shit at home, bro.
26:57She talking about it.
26:58Come on.
27:06Hey, Ben.
27:17Hey, come on.
27:18Let's go get some coffee.
27:21What if he wakes up?
27:23Just gonna be two seconds.
27:24Come on.
27:25I need you to stretch your legs.
27:29Hey.
27:31Come on, you too.
27:34I'll hang here.
27:36All right.
28:00I want to get my shit together, Emmett.
28:02For real this time?
28:11Promise.
28:16I just need you to wake up for me, brother.
28:23Please.
28:23We need to talk about Kenya.
28:47The last time you said that,
28:50you told me she was pregnant.
28:52I found a gun in her underwear drawer.
28:56Oh, Jesus.
29:00Where'd she get it?
29:01I don't know.
29:02I don't know.
29:02What the hell is going on?
29:07All I know is she was dating some guy who got killed,
29:13and she's been depressed ever since.
29:16I know.
29:18It scared her.
29:21Maybe she'd come live with me.
29:23Her and Miles are a package deal.
29:25You can't handle both of them.
29:26You don't know that.
29:27They need me.
29:28Do they?
29:34I'll talk to her.
29:36We both need to talk to her.
29:40You're right.
29:40Just call before you come next time.
30:02So, you staying here now?
30:07Yeah.
30:07For how long?
30:14Why you asking?
30:17Trying to make sure you good, nigga.
30:20I'm always good.
30:24Hey, man.
30:24Let me know if you need anything, all right?
30:27Shit, what I need is a shooter.
30:30About my side.
30:3324-7.
30:33Don't look at me.
30:38Ain't you looking for work?
30:39Not the kind of getting me locked up again.
30:42When I know somebody.
30:45Trust her?
30:46Her.
30:47And yeah, I do.
30:48I can't have no bitch up under me all day.
30:51She like bitches, too.
30:56All she wanted on.
30:57All I do is when she shoot, she don't miss.
31:11Your father would turn over in his grave if he knew what you were doing.
31:14As if he has nowhere else to go.
31:17I just need you to trust me.
31:18I don't know how this is going to work.
31:22I believe in him.
31:24I think it's going to be okay.
31:26I don't believe you.
31:29You don't believe me or you don't believe in me?
31:32Of course I believe in you.
31:35Look, Mom.
31:37We need a new pastor.
31:39And he needs a new start.
31:42I think this could be good for all of us.
31:43I lost a bet.
32:07And the guy beat me up.
32:09Because I didn't have enough money to pay off my debt.
32:19And when my brother saw me, he just...
32:33He left.
32:39And the next thing I knew, he was in the hospital.
32:45You have a sickness.
32:55I have to stop this.
32:58That's why you're here.
32:59I got to be done for good.
33:15I promised my brother.
33:19You have to take things one day at a time.
33:21I'll be right back.
33:51This is it.
33:59Smells like an old folks home in here.
34:01We can spruce it up a bit.
34:05We'll try to, but we're running out of money.
34:08Everything's gonna be okay.
34:17Where you get this from?
34:19My cousin got it from his new cigar lounge.
34:22She steal it?
34:24She bought it.
34:28It's nice.
34:30It's more where that came from.
34:32You wanna work for her, nigga.
34:34Who a nigga?
34:36Remember Reg?
34:38I thought that nigga was dead.
34:41That nigga is alive and well.
34:43He wants to keep it that way.
34:45So that's why you here?
34:49You looking for work?
34:51Always.
34:52You willing to meet with you?
34:54He know I'm a bitch.
34:57I told him you're basically one of us.
34:59I am not one of y'all.
35:01Bitch, you know what I mean.
35:03You wanna talk to him or not?
35:05I'll talk to him.
35:08Ms. Daniels Lafayette has already taken the liberty of setting up a trust account for your son, which he will gain access to at the age of 18.
35:18And I'll set up a checking account in your name so you have access to discretionary funds you may need for you as a baby.
35:28Are you serious?
35:30Of course.
35:31And these documents will make you the executor of Ms. Daniels Lafayette's estate in the event of her passing.
35:38What does that mean?
35:40Well, you would be in charge of all of her business dealings as well as any new opportunities that might present themselves.
35:48Look, I know that this is a lot of information in one setting.
35:57Yeah, I'm gonna need some more time to digest all of this.
36:01This is for your child sick.
36:06Think of the future.
36:07Do you want to be a parent or do you want to have kids?
36:18What's the difference?
36:19There's a huge difference.
36:21Why do you want kids?
36:23Uh, I just do.
36:26That is not a real answer.
36:28Why wouldn't somebody want kids?
36:30A lot of reasons.
36:32If we die, there's no one to carry on our legacy.
36:38What legacy?
36:40Our lineage.
36:42Why is that so important to you?
36:47I don't want my bloodline to end with me.
36:52So what if it does?
36:55It feels like you want a child so a part of you lives on if you were to die.
37:00Yeah.
37:02That's not a good reason to have a kid.
37:04Who says I even need a reason?
37:05I do.
37:06Especially if I'm gonna be the one to carry it.
37:08We're not going to resolve this in one session.
37:11So let's meet again next week and keep talking.
37:14Is that okay?
37:18Yeah.
37:29So Serena recommended you.
37:39Yeah, that's my girl.
37:41She taught me sign language.
37:43Oh, that's what's up.
37:44What do y'all meet?
37:45Uh, we used to ball together at the Y.
37:47Serena said you're really good with people.
37:49Hell yeah.
37:50Shit, niggas love me.
37:52I mean, people.
37:53People love me.
37:54You know what I meant.
37:56Are you a good leader?
37:58No, just 14 kids.
38:00I came out the womb telling niggas what to do.
38:02You ever been to jail?
38:05I almost got locked up once, but it was a case of mistaken identity.
38:10Them doppelgangers are real, girl.
38:11But my aunt is a judge and she got the case dismissed on the technicalities, so the answer is no.
38:20It will be a temporary gig.
38:22I know.
38:25I heard your nigga got shot.
38:26I'm sorry.
38:27Same shit happened to my boy Tyrone in a way.
38:41Nigga shot him over a blackjack gang butt.
38:43He survived that shit and he turned his life over to God and everything.
38:47Your baby daddy's gonna make it out alive.
38:52Look, if you hire me, then I'll make sure that this place is running smooth.
39:01You promise?
39:03I'm like Drew Hill.
39:05I'll never make a promise I can't keep.
39:09You hired.
39:11Boom.
39:15I was just trying to protect myself.
39:23From who?
39:24Anybody.
39:25You must have lost your mind.
39:26Ma, we got this.
39:28Apparently not.
39:29Renee, we got it.
39:31Yeah.
39:33I'm just scared.
39:35What are you afraid of?
39:38What if I'm next?
39:40Nothing's gonna happen to you.
39:41You don't know that.
39:42I knew Zay.
39:44He was running the streets.
39:46He led a violent life.
39:47He also went to your church.
39:50I can't control what happens when people leave service.
39:53This gun will not keep you safe.
39:56It actually puts Miles in danger.
39:57She doesn't know I have it.
39:59Who gave it to you?
40:00It was Ace.
40:06He showed it to me in the car once and he wanted me to have it.
40:09Look, I don't like you hanging around guys like that.
40:12Guys like Dad?
40:16Kenya.
40:19I want you to start spending more time with me.
40:21No.
40:22Don't try to bother me now.
40:23I'm grown.
40:24Just because you have a child doesn't mean you're grown.
40:26I have my own life.
40:27You don't even have your own apartment.
40:30I'll see you at church.
40:32This Sunday?
40:33No.
40:34Later tonight.
40:35I'm gonna gather some folks at the new church to see if I can shift things.
40:39Y'all haven't even moved in yet.
40:41I don't need things to be perfect in order for me to preach.
40:54She good.
40:56Told ya.
40:59Stop talking about me like I'm not standing here.
41:04My bad.
41:06Do I got the job or what?
41:10Watch how you talk to me.
41:11Nigga, I gotta watch shit.
41:12I like you.
41:13I don't care.
41:14You hired.
41:15Pay me in cash.
41:16That's all I deal with.
41:17Why'd you want to meet you?
41:18Cause this is where I'll be preaching from now on.
41:19Hey, what's wrong?
41:20I don't care.
41:21I don't care.
41:22You hired.
41:23Pay me in cash.
41:24That's all I deal with.
41:26That's all I deal with.
41:36Why'd you want to meet you?
41:38Cause this is where I'll be preaching from now on.
41:41Hey, what's wrong?
41:42Duda made me take him out.
41:48You killed Papa's father?
41:49I had no choice.
41:50Yes, you did.
41:51A job is a child.
41:54A no.
41:55A no.
41:56A no.
41:57A no.
41:58A no.
41:59A no.
42:00A no.
42:01A no.
42:02A no.
42:03A no.
42:04You killed Papa's father?
42:05I had no choice.
42:08Yes, you did.
42:09A job is a child.
42:12Who do you want to be?
42:13I don't know.
42:21If you don't know, then what are we doing?
42:43Thanks for getting the word out with your podcast.
42:58Unless the miss don't play.
42:59In Deuteronomy chapter 30, it says, God, your God, will restore everything you've lost.
43:23That's right.
43:29I'm going to be honest with you.
43:36I've lost a lot.
43:39I've lost some people, not because they made their transition, but because they made the decision to transition out of my life.
43:52And that's okay.
43:54That's their choice.
43:56Because I lost members of my congregation because they didn't like the way I was living or with whom I was living.
44:06That's okay.
44:08God is able.
44:12I even lost some money.
44:15And I hate to do that.
44:17He knows.
44:18Because I hate to do that.
44:21But God is using me.
44:26And that is why I need to be obedient even when I can't make sense of his ways.
44:35Because when I let go and let God, surprising things happen.
44:42My young brother, Papa, first walked into my daughter's life.
44:49Then, when his father's life was taken too soon, Papa walked into mine.
44:57He has blessed me with his friendship.
45:00And I have been impressed with his growth since he came to work for me.
45:05And now, he is trusting me with his father's house.
45:13And I can promise you this, this church will forever be covered by God.
45:23Amen.
45:24This church is holy ground.
45:28This is where God lives.
45:32And I'm so honored to announce that we are the new owners of Church of the Living One.
45:39Amen.
45:39Amen.
45:43I want to talk to you tonight about gun violence.
45:59And ask the question, why does it continue to plague our city?
46:05Why have we become accomplices in our own extinction?
46:15How many more bodies have to drop before we look in the mirror?
46:21No one else can save us.
46:25We need to save ourselves.
46:29And in order to do that, we will need humility and patience.
46:37Humility and patience.
46:40I have both in spades.
46:43And I hope you do too.
46:46And we'll also need a lot of faith.
46:50And not just any old faith.
46:57We need that, that, that, that, that, that unspeakable kind.
47:02The faith that never wavers.
47:06That faith that looks death in the face and has no fear because it knows God is here.
47:14The kind of faith that knows God is able.
47:19That's the kind we need.
47:21We need the kind of faith that'll change the future of this city.
47:26Amen.
47:27Amen.
47:28Amen.
47:31Amen.

48:13Amen.
48:14The only problem is you want to make all the rules.
48:22Somebody has to make them.
48:26God already has.
48:44Why you ain't telling me Reg was still alive?
49:02I wasn't telling nobody.
49:05I thought we had something.
49:07We do.
49:08Not if you kept that from me.
49:11Are you serious?
49:14Maybe we're moving too fast.
49:17No, we're moving too fast.
49:18It's a lot going on.
49:20I know that.
49:23I just need some time.
49:27He's no longer in our lives.
49:30Oh, I hope not.
49:44Oh, let them see you.
49:45Crying old tears.
49:46This was made for empty hearted fools.
49:47There's poison underneath my tongue.
49:51And it goes around in circles till it flies away.
49:59New Viele.
50:02After helping, who the hell listens?
50:04This sustainable beer.
50:08I know.
50:09Is all in the wines.
50:11They're planning to give.
50:12Still it flies away
50:14Smoke the world
50:17Smoke the world
50:20Smoke the world
50:22Come from the world
50:42Smoke the world
52:06Oh, thank you.
52:14Oh, thank you.
52:17Hey.
52:18Welcome back, son.
52:22Where's Keisha?
52:27The nurse is the one who let her in.
52:29I need to see her.
52:35Hey, pop.
52:36Hey.
52:37Just relax.
52:39She hurt.
52:42Hey, man.
52:44I'm sorry.
52:47Don't go.
52:48No.
52:49I'm sorry.
52:50I'm sorry.
52:55I'm sorry.
52:56I'm sorry.
53:10Take him down.
