03:47baby
04:07Hey, y'all got to get more washrooms in this house.
04:09It's not my fault you ain't got no hot water at your house.
04:11Yeah, I know I shouldn't have gotten that poor long sale.
04:14It'd be one thing if it was just you, but housing you and your woman is a lot.
04:17Hey, be nice.
04:18Oh, sorry Emmett, I'm going to be real quick, I promise.
04:24What's wrong?
04:25There's too many people in this house.
04:26It's temporary.
04:27He's been here for three months.
04:28I think your dad likes staying with us.
04:30Why? He got his own house.
04:33Probably hard for him to be in that house without your mom.
04:35Well, it's hard for me to be in my house with him and this new bitch.
04:38Don't call her that. She nice.
04:40She's not my mom.
04:44Look, I know you're hurting.
04:46Don't be mad at your dad for moving on with his life, okay?
04:50I just miss her.
04:52I miss her too.
04:54We can't even get it in because every time we try,
04:56somebody starts knocking on our door looking for something.
04:58Schedule an appointment. I'll make sure everybody out.
05:00An appointment?
05:01Yeah, I'll make my stuff available for you.
05:04Okay, her up and get in the bathroom so we can get these kids off.
05:18This ain't my fault.
05:22Yes, it is.
05:24Look, I just needed somebody I could trust.
05:26My dumb ass came running.
05:27Well, we couldn't just leave it there?
05:30Yes, we could have.
05:31I ain't calling the cops. I ain't no snitch.
05:33I'd rather be a snitch than a fucking prison, though.
05:35All right, look up, man.
05:37We're gonna get out of here.
05:39Trust me.
05:39When?
05:41When Nora tells my lawyer I was with her that night.
05:43And why hasn't she done that yet?
05:45She changed her number and now we can't find her.
05:48Tip already told the cops I was with her that night
05:49and they still won't let me go.
05:53Fuck.
05:55We look like killers, so that's how they're gonna treat us, bro.
06:01Boom!
06:10Papa not coming in?
06:12Nah, he has a funeral, remember?
06:14All right.
06:17You talk to Victor?
06:19Yeah.
06:20He's still waiting on a court date.
06:23It's crazy how long they can keep you in there
06:25before you even get to trial.
06:27They got the wrong brother locked up.
06:29Reg Wilde, that's the one who's supposed to be behind bars.
06:32What's going on with Reg?
06:34I don't know.
06:35I'll stay away from his ass
06:36since he got me kicked out of my apartment.
06:39If it's too hard for you to stay at Victor's house by yourself,
06:41you can always stay here.
06:45I can't say enough as it is.
06:47Papa will then stay if you want.
06:49We don't mind.
06:50And since Don and my brother moved out,
06:52we got space.
06:55I appreciate y'all.
06:57But I'm good.
07:10He wasn't the perfect man.
07:13But he was a child of God.
07:16Which means he deserves our love and our grace
07:19as we guide him home.
07:26The circumstances surrounding his death
07:29are not to be gossiped about
07:32or to be judged.
07:35We will honor his contribution to society.
07:40We will uplift his family.
07:43His daughter, his wife, his grandson.
07:50And we will honor all the lies he's touched.
07:56As many of you know,
07:59Zeke was like a brother to me.
08:03We came up together.
08:08And many times, like brothers do, we beefed.
08:14But we always respected each other
08:16and we guided each other through our darkest of times.
08:23And I'll forever miss him.
08:27I love him.
08:30And he's gone, but he's not forgotten.
08:46Thanks for making your preface.
08:48Anything for my queen.
08:52You like the new portrait?
08:55Yes, I am.
08:56What's wrong?
08:57Nothing.
08:58Just trying to style my own legacy.
09:00You jealous?
09:02No.
09:03Just don't want to feel like Rob
09:04is always looking over my shoulder.
09:06Well, I want to honor him.
09:08He is the father of my child.
09:11I know.
09:14You good?
09:16Yeah, I'm always good.
09:20I just want to do something to honor their memory.
09:27I don't think they'll be too happy about me being here.
09:30Well,
09:32there's not much they can do about it now.
09:34I guess not.
09:38Excuse me.
09:41Sorry, I forgot she was coming.
09:43I texted you to say I was on my way.
09:44I must have missed it.
09:45Whatever.
09:46Hey, baby.
09:47Y'all want some pancakes?
09:48Are you, daddy?
09:49You want some?
09:50I don't like pancakes.
09:51I'll make you some waffles.
09:54As soon as the dude with the random face tattoos is gone.
09:58You don't even live here.
09:59Neither do you.
10:00I heard that.
10:02Oh, I meant you to.
10:03Mine.
10:11As long as our niggas stay loyal to me, you ain't got to worry about shit.
10:16Well, what if you get locked up?
10:19Ain't nobody getting locked up.
10:21Same thing I said right before they locked my ass up.
10:24Don't be speaking negativity over my life, nigga.
10:45Jordan, what you doing here?
10:47I'm making a delivery.
10:48For who?
10:49For me.
10:52No, we're not doing that.
10:55You ain't my daddy.
10:56But you my woman.
10:57I'm not about to let you get caught up in this bullshit.
10:59Are you giving me money?
11:03That's what I thought.
11:06Don't call me if you get locked up.
11:08I won't.
11:09You can call me.
11:11I ain't calling neither one of y'all.
11:21Give him his money back right now.
11:23No.
11:24You know I gotta support my mom.
11:26Her disability check ain't shit.
11:28Nigga, his breakfast is ill.
11:30I'm giving him expired pills that the hospital would throw out anyway.
11:33It's still illegal.
11:38I gotta do what I gotta do.
12:00This new strand really been moving.
12:02Good to know, because I've been experimenting.
12:05Well, it ain't been hard to say.
12:08Hey, we doing this shit in front of mixed company?
12:11That's my girl.
12:12We don't know that bitch.
12:14Hey, don't be calling me a bitch.
12:15She helping me out.
12:17Be cool, Rafi.
12:18You ain't got no clout here yet.
12:22Come on.
12:25Hey.
12:27Macari say she's good.
12:28She's good.
12:29All right?
12:40I'm so sorry about Pastor Zeke.
12:43Me too.
12:46Are you okay?
12:48I'll be fine.
12:51You don't seem that upset.
12:55Everybody grieves differently, Papa.
12:58It just seems like his white mistress was more upset than you.
13:02There's a lot you don't know.
13:03You could tell me.
13:05You're too young for this kind of stuff.
13:08He told me a lot.
13:10Well, that was his problem.
13:11But he talked too much.
13:14What you mean?
13:16The police, they wanted info on one of the guys he was counseling.
13:20Who?
13:23Nuck.
13:27Was he gonna snitch on him?
13:28I guess we'll never know.
13:32You think Nuck did this?
13:36I know he did.
13:46This better not be another stolen car.
13:48It's not.
13:54At least.
13:55With what money?
13:56Nuck gave me in advance.
13:58For what?
13:59For all the work I've been putting in.
14:03When you gonna stop hustling?
14:05As soon as my book drops.
14:07You think you gonna get rich out there?
14:09I could.
14:09What if you don't?
14:12I can't afford to think about that.
14:14You also can't afford this car.
14:16I'll pay it off when my book drops.
14:18Have you even promoted it?
14:20I've been promoting it all week.
14:22And I sent out a bunch of texts.
14:24So niggas that don't read?
14:26They gonna buy it cause it's me.
14:29You should've worked with the publisher.
14:32I wanna own my own shit.
14:34So the money comes directly to me.
14:36And all the people I love.
14:39I don't know.
14:42You don't believe me?
14:43Of course I do.
14:47I just want you to be realistic.
14:49Steve Jobs wasn't realistic.
14:51White people don't have to be.
14:52I believe in myself.
14:55That's only half the battle.
14:56You have to be strategic.
14:58You can't just drop something and expect it to sell.
15:00But I really got it cause when I do my shit.
15:04I've been in the body.
15:05I want you to see you.
15:07Are you mad?
15:10I'm annoyed.
15:12You're annoyed at me if you're telling the truth.
15:14And whatever.
15:14I'm about to drop your ass off.
15:16Why?
15:17Cause I got somewhere to be.
15:19Stop, nigga.
15:19We killed you.
15:20I don't give a fuck.
15:23Now, Maxine, I know you are upset about Bird.
15:26But if you don't stop worrying, you're gonna make yourself sick.
15:28He has no right to put her and Jay and Dane to like this, Kenny.
15:31Well, you're right.
15:32But I don't think he did it intentionally.
15:34It doesn't matter.
15:36You know, Kenny, crying and shaking.
15:38I've never been to like this before.
15:40Things are out of control and she needs to separate herself.
15:43What exactly are you saying?
15:45She needs to leave.
15:47You know, I don't think this is for you to decide.
15:49Now, if Bird is still there, then it's because she wants to be.
15:52What's wrong?
15:54Nothing.
15:56Don't lie.
15:59How you feel about tipping up?
16:02It's a little weird, but I'm used to it at this point.
16:05I'm not.
16:06Well, it's her life and she can move on if she wants.
16:09So people's partner's just dying and people moving on like it's nothing.
16:14What do you want?
16:15Your dad and Tiff to be along forever?
16:17No.
16:18I just need some time.
16:20Stop being a baby.
16:21I have feelings.
16:23I get that, but your dad is grown.
16:26So is your ex-wife.
16:27Oh, now she my ex-wife?
16:29Is that not what she is?
16:32I just feel like there's something else behind it.
16:34She got a ring.
16:36I never got one.
16:37That's what this is about.
16:39All I'm saying is y'all haven't been together for years.
16:42Do you trust Nook?
16:44I trust him to be a good father.
16:47And that's all that matters to me.
16:49I just don't know who he's capable of.
16:53As long as Tiff is happy, we can't complain.
17:09What happened to pass the Z?
17:11Why?
17:13The cop was fucked up about it.
17:15He was like a second father to him.
17:17I knew too much.
17:20Only shit you told him.
17:22And confidence.
17:24Was he gonna talk?
17:27Everybody got a price.
17:28Who was gonna pay him?
17:32We're finished.
17:35Damn.
17:37She couldn't chance that shit.
17:41You took him out.
17:42Bakari, stop asking me stupid-ass questions, boy.
17:45All you do is ask stupid-ass questions.
17:46Nigga, fuck you.
17:48Hey, y'all two niggas should tell the fuck out.
17:49Nah, fuck this little nigga.
17:51Stop acting like a bitch.
17:52Stop telling yours all our business.
17:54And that ain't got nothing to do with this.
17:55How the fuck was she sawed out of your neck?
18:02How the fuck am I supposed to know?
18:05This nigga writing books and shit
18:06and telling this little bitch what we doing?
18:10Don't make me kill you, nigga.
18:12Bakari, chill.
18:14I ain't running.
18:15I shoot back.
18:18This nigga just won my spot.
18:20I don't trust you.
18:22I do.
18:25Trust in him, we're gonna get you killed.
18:27You need a real number two.
18:29Like some corny-ass kid.
18:32Hey.
18:34Bakari's my number two.
18:37And if you don't like that shit,
18:38go work for somebody else.
18:49Keep ballin' high.
18:51At least that's what you think, nigga.
18:54It's in the building.
19:17Hey, son.
19:19Hey there.
19:24Go play with your friends, man.
19:26All right.
19:42What's going on?
19:44Devontae been getting in trouble.
19:45What'd that mean?
19:46He got into three fights last week.
19:48Damn.
19:49And he been taking money from my purse.
19:52What's wrong with him?
19:53I don't know.
19:54Ever since we moved, we just started acting out.
19:56I told you not to leave.
19:57Don't put this on me.
19:59So you want him to stay with me full time?
20:00He needs you right now.
20:07You boys always need their fathers.
20:13You know, a part of me wishes that I never got involved with Alicia.
20:17Romantically?
20:19Professionally.
20:20You know they say mixing business for pleasure doesn't always end well.
20:26Never mix business for pleasure?
20:30Excuse me?
20:33My bad.
20:34I'm just trying to get to know the woman that's fighting for me, that's all.
20:41You married?
20:43I'm not.
20:45Okay.
20:47Got them kings?
20:53This isn't about my personal life.
20:55It's about yours.
20:59Now, I heard you two broke up a few weeks before she was killed.
21:03Yeah, yeah.
21:04Well, we were good.
21:07Listen, I had no reason to take her out.
21:10Who did?
21:11A lot of people.
21:13Can you name a few?
21:15It's a long list.
21:17Was one of them Nora?
21:21She's my alibi.
21:23Not anymore.
21:26Wait, you found her?
21:27No, but apparently she sent a statement to the police claiming that you two weren't together the night of Alicia's
21:31murder.
21:33What?
21:36No, no.
21:38That's not true.
21:39Why would she lie?
21:42I don't know.
21:44I'll try to track her down to see what's going on.
21:48Why did you call Victor instead of the police?
21:52He's the only one I could trust.
21:54You thought you could trust Nora, too?
21:56No, no, no.
21:56He's different.
21:57I hope so.
22:00Were you able to find the hospital footage yet?
22:02I sifted through a lot of it.
22:04But I don't see a clear shot of him during the time of Alicia's murder.
22:08Well, Tiff said he was with her all night.
22:09Yeah, but he left after you called.
22:11So that window of time can't be accounted for.
22:16Fuck!
22:19Don't worry.
22:22I'm going to do everything I can to get you both out of here.
22:29Our best bet is to pin this whole thing on Rashad.
22:32He didn't kill her.
22:33How do you know?
22:34I just do...
22:36Well, he's done time before.
22:38Home robbery.
22:39He could pin everything on you.
22:41You'd never do that.
22:42It would be an easy out for him because we can't prove your alibi.
22:45Did you look at the hospital footage?
22:47Yeah, I didn't see you.
22:48Look again.
22:52Do you believe in that I'm innocent?
22:54It doesn't matter what I believe.
22:55Just the fact that you touched that body means that you could be in here for the rest of your
22:58life.
23:11Hey, why you been fighting?
23:15Boy, you better answer me when I'm talking to you.
23:17I don't know.
23:19Well, if you're going to live with me, you're going to do things differently.
23:22I'm not putting up with no bullshit.
23:23I ain't asked to live here.
23:25You don't have a choice.
23:27Look, I'm enrolling you into my old school.
23:29And I don't want to hear no shit about you getting in trouble, man.
23:31I don't want to go to a new school.
23:33You don't get a say.
23:35And the kids over here, they know how to fight.
23:37So I suggest you keep your hands to yourself.
23:42All my life I've been an outlaw.
23:44Long gone, but the Lord can't reach me.
23:46I make big noise.
23:49Nigga, what you want?
23:52Good job.
23:57I ain't hiring.
23:58I know you got some shit y'all trying to move.
24:04And why should I trust you?
24:05Because I'm loyal.
24:07If you ain't loyal enough, you ain't going to be loyal to me.
24:10Y'all ain't the same.
24:14Yeah, we not.
24:32But if I see one sound of disloyalty,
24:38I'll kill your ass.
24:44You ain't got to worry about me.
24:50We're going to see it.
24:52Yeah, we're going to see.
24:57So, you gave up preaching to manage a barbershop?
25:03Yeah.
25:04This is my new ministry now.
25:06Okay.
25:07I hear that.
25:10Um, I'm sorry about your friend.
25:14I know y'all were close.
25:17Yeah, but we were distant towards the end.
25:20What happened?
25:24I feel like he lost his way.
25:27And he wouldn't let me in.
25:30I know the feeling.
25:34I'm sorry about you and Damien.
25:36It was for the best.
25:38He needed to go back into rehab.
25:41Being with me was a distraction.
25:46Well, I love being distracted.
25:50Don't even try.
25:52Why not?
25:54The last time we were together,
25:56all we did was hurt each other.
25:59I mean, we were different people then.
26:01Yeah.
26:02I'm still working on myself.
26:05Aren't we all?
26:07I don't want you to be my new addiction.
26:12I mean, to be honest, Zee,
26:13I'm practicing celibacy right now, so...
26:19No, I'm serious.
26:21What, you trying to get right with the Lord?
26:24I'm trying to get right with myself.
26:28I hear that.
26:33So...
26:35Let me take you to dinner.
26:38Okay.
26:39Okay.
26:40I'll try my best not to tempt you.
26:43You love tempting me.
26:44You are an easy mark.
26:46Not anymore.
26:59I haven't seen you in so long.
27:01It's been a while.
27:02I know.
27:03How's the team, Mom?
27:05Thriving.
27:05She ain't gonna let no nigga hoe her down.
27:07Yeah, I'm not surprised to hear that.
27:09Hmm.
27:11I need your help.
27:13What else is new?
27:16I see y'all follow each other.
27:18How cool are you?
27:19Oh, I buy candles from her.
27:21When was the last time you spoke?
27:22It's been a while.
27:24Why?
27:24She's supposed to be my client's alibi.
27:26Oh, shit.
27:27Yeah, now we can't find her.
27:29I mean, she ain't posting a minute.
27:32What you need me to do?
27:33Can we place a order for some candles and ask her to meet you in person for a drop-off?
27:37I am not trying to get that girl locked up.
27:39You're always gonna lock her up.
27:40I just wanna ask her some questions.
27:42What if she say no?
27:44Tell her you'll pay double if she delivers the candles herself.
27:49Ari, I got you.
27:52I appreciate you.
27:54I know you do, girl.
27:56Always something.
28:01I told you to stop bringing the shit in my house.
28:06All this illegal shit we doing, but this way you draw the lines?
28:08I'm not trying to get raided.
28:10If you do, just say they mine.
28:11They'll be too busy locking me up.
28:13I'm gonna move them quick, I promise.
28:15I told you not to bring it in here in the first place.
28:17Jordan just brought them to me.
28:18I ain't have a chance to move them.
28:19Oh.
28:22Jordan.
28:23You're a supplier?
28:24Why you saying it like that?
28:26Because I'm not convinced you're not fucking the bitch.
28:28That's Keith's girl.
28:29And?
28:31So is this about the pills or is it about Jordan?
28:34Both.
28:40You know what?
28:40Get the fuck out of my house and take your shit with you.
28:44You really kicking me out?
28:46Bye, Ridge.
28:49Oh, you on some bullshit.
28:57You gotta be cool around Nook.
28:59I am.
29:00You be giving him too much side-eye.
29:01I hate him.
29:02Why?
29:03Because he keeps you in the streets.
29:04I choose to work for him.
29:05Also because he killed Rob.
29:06He also killed Pastor Zeke.
29:10What?
29:12Don't tell nobody.
29:13I don't want you fucking with him.
29:14I don't have a choice.
29:15Yes, you do.
29:16That shit was none of our business.
29:18You being all uncomfortable with shit around him.
29:21Got niggas talking.
29:22Who talking?
29:22Rafi told him I tell you our business.
29:25I haven't told anybody anything you've told me.
29:27You better not.
29:29Don't talk to me like that.
29:33I'm sorry.
29:46I know how you feel.
29:50I know you do.
29:53Some days you're gonna wake up and
29:57have to remind yourself that he's gone.
30:03I did that today.
30:06It all feels like a bad dream.
30:12I know it's real.
30:16I'm sorry.
30:20Me too.
30:25How are you?
30:28I don't know.
30:30What do you mean you don't know?
30:33I'm just feeling numb.
30:35Is that why you were smoking so much?
30:38You noticed?
30:40It's obvious.
30:43I'm just passing the time, that's all.
30:46You used to pass the time by reading the Bible.
30:53Honestly, I don't even know if I believe in that shit anymore.
30:58Since when?
31:01Since my dad got killed.
31:05Now Pastor Zeke, I just...
31:09I feel like God is mad at me.
31:15He never gives us more than we can bear.
31:19I think I'm at my limit.
31:27I love you too, can't you?
31:41I love you.
31:44I love you.
31:49What's up, brother?
31:50The fuck you want?
31:52I am.
31:53It's good to see you too.
31:54You only here because you need something.
31:58I need to stay at your crib for a little while.
32:00Nigga, this is out your fucking mind.
32:02My girl tripping over one of my latest business ventures.
32:04Good for her.
32:04I'm sure it's illegal.
32:06I ain't doing nothing the government ain't doing.
32:08Don't bring no illegal nothing in my house.
32:10The crib belong to all of us.
32:12Not you.
32:14I don't need your permission.
32:15Yes, you do.
32:17Jake watching it until I get out.
32:18He barely stayed up.
32:21Nigga, I don't care.
32:22I don't want you to bring none of your dumb-ass friends in my house while I'm in here.
32:26No.
32:37It was your first date.
32:38He was talking shit.
32:39I don't know if I'm more mad that you got into a fight or that you lost.
32:42Emmett, look, it doesn't matter what anyone says to you.
32:45You don't have the right to put your hands on him.
32:47He was gonna hit me.
32:47Then you tell the teacher.
32:48Oh, don't teach him to be a snitch, Keisha.
32:51I ain't letting nobody punk me.
32:52What you gonna do if I punk you?
32:54You gonna hit me?
32:57You don't even want to know what he said.
32:59It don't matter, son.
33:00We said no fighting.
33:02He's gonna be looking for me tomorrow.
33:03Good.
33:04Then you'll have the chance to make a better choice.
33:06You're lucky the principal is letting you off with a woman.
33:08Can I go to my room?
33:08You mean my room?
33:09You don't pay no bills up in here.
33:15Yes, you can go to your room.
33:32Hello?
33:33You have a collect call from an inmate.
33:34Do you accept it?
33:35Yeah.
33:36Jake.
33:37Yeah.
33:40Don't let Ridge in the house.
33:42What?
33:43Think his girl put him out.
33:44Again?
33:45I don't know.
33:46You tell me.
33:47See it.
33:48I don't know.
33:49I stay away from that nigga as much as I can.
33:51Well, he has to stay out of the house, and I told him no.
33:52So make sure that nigga don't get in.
33:54I got you.
33:57You got the crib?
33:59Yeah, I'm out.
34:01Go in my closet and look under the floorboard.
34:24Just in case.
34:33D, we can't keep having sex in your son's house.
34:37Yeah, we're grown.
34:39Yeah, but you also laugh.
34:42That's because you make me laugh.
34:46You know what?
34:48Why don't you spend some time fixing that boiler back at your house?
34:52Because, man, we can be as loud as we want.
34:58All those expenses.
35:01Yeah.
35:02It's been months.
35:05Yeah, I know.
35:10Why you looking at me like that?
35:17I know grief when I see it.
35:20What's that supposed to mean?
35:24You don't want to go back to the house because it reminds you of Jada.
35:29That's not true.
35:32Being here keeps you from facing the fact that she's gone.
35:37I know that she's gone.
35:41Have you grieved it?
35:44I've been grieving her for the rest of my life.
35:51You can't run away from the feelings forever, Tarnia.
35:53Stop pressuring me, Jaden.
36:01Look, Riley.
36:05Riley, I'm sorry.
36:10I know.
36:14I've been here before.
36:15I know.
36:20I know.
36:26I don't know.
36:57I don't know.
37:21I don't know.
37:21You can say it.
37:22Say what?
37:24I told you so.
37:25That's not how I get down.
37:27You said it wasn't gonna work?
37:29I said you needed to promote it more.
37:30Same thing.
37:33Dreams aren't linear.
37:34They take time.
37:39Fuck this.
37:42Let's go.
37:43We still have to be here for another hour.
37:45Nobody's coming.
37:46You've sold a few books.
37:47Not enough to make me a millionaire.
37:50Is that why you did this?
37:51To get rich?
37:54I thought you had a story to tell.
37:56I thought you wanted to inspire people.
37:57Can't I do both at the same time?
37:59Seems like money's your only mission.
38:02I don't know what my mission is anymore.
38:11I don't know what my mission is anymore.
38:20I don't know what that means.
38:22I don't care about it.
38:24I don't care about it.
38:26I don't care about it.
38:27Alright.
38:28I'll see you later.
38:46You all right, down here?
38:49I don't know.
38:52I'm sorry about your friend.
38:55I know he was like a second father to you.
38:58Yeah, he was.
39:02Well, let me know if you need anything.
39:05Hey, uh, I do, actually.
39:08What's that?
39:10Ask your man if he murdered my friend.
39:13Excuse me?
39:14I think Nutkill passed a Zeke.
39:17Why would he do that? They were friends.
39:19I don't matter to him.
39:22You don't know that he did it.
39:23I got the information from a pretty good source.
39:27Who?
39:29I can't stay.
39:31Right.
39:33Do you even trust him?
39:38I asked you a question.
39:40Yes!
39:42What took you so long?
39:43Go home, Papa.
40:04I'm so proud of you, man.
40:07You're the only one.
40:10What you talking about?
40:12I had my book released today, and nobody came.
40:17Did you promote it?
40:19I tried.
40:20Did you try hard enough?
40:22I was busy with my other job.
40:25You still working for nothing?
40:26Hell yeah.
40:29Why?
40:30I want to help Lene with the bills.
40:32Nigga Smokey's always hiring.
40:34That ain't enough money for me.
40:35It's enough to help you get by.
40:37I'm tired of just getting by.
40:40Get creative.
40:42Be strategic.
40:43Make...
40:44Do something.
40:46We just can't sit around and wait for our dreams to come true.
40:49We got to get out there and make shit happen.
40:52You hear me?
41:01I'm going to read your book.
41:05Let me know what you think.
41:07I will.
41:10Hey, Bakari.
41:15You care whether you live or die?
41:20I don't know.
41:33I want to know that you're there.
41:35I ain't never going to leave you.
41:38Tomorrow, me and you are going to go down to that goddamn welfare.
41:42We're going to talk about this goddamn thing and try to goddamn work it out.
41:49Goddamn.
41:49Can you turn it down?
41:51Why don't you go to your room?
41:53Keisha and the baby took over the bed.
41:56That's a good woman you got there.
41:58I know.
42:02When are you all finally going to get married?
42:04I already asked her, Pop.
42:05She rejected me.
42:07Boy, that wasn't no real proposal.
42:09I meant it.
42:10Yeah, but you did it under duress.
42:12I still meant that shit.
42:14Mm-hmm.
42:18Why can't you go to your room?
42:22Hmm.
42:23Me and Riley, you taking some space.
42:26What happened?
42:34I accidentally called her by your mother's name.
42:42Oh, shit.
42:47Yeah.
42:54I'm sorry.
42:57It's hard to believe that she's gone.
43:01You don't feel real to me, either.
43:05It's hard to accept.
43:09Well, you'll never get over it.
43:12Sure, I don't want to.
43:16I thought Riley made you forget about her.
43:20Son, no woman could ever make me forget about your mama.
43:25She lives in my heart, my soul.
43:28Always.
43:35Never what it was like when I lost my mama.
43:38Broke my heart.
43:42My eyes broken, too.
43:47You're dealing with a broken heart and a rebellious son.
43:51You got a lot going on, boy.
43:54I don't know why you're acting out.
43:56You haven't always been there for them.
43:59I spend as much time with these kids as I can.
44:01It's never enough.
44:02You know that.
44:05You got four kids, but four different women.
44:08Because I didn't teach you how to be anything other than what I was.
44:14You know, I got to show my sons a different way.
44:17You know, but the older they get, the harder it is to teach them.
44:22I feel like I'm losing them.
44:24That's why now's the time to hold on to them tight.
44:28Huh?
44:30I will.
44:31All right.
44:35Hey, uh, did your mama come and visit you in your dreams?
44:41No.
44:42You?
44:44Yeah.
44:46Yeah, she visits me all the time.
44:50Why she ain't come to visit me?
44:53No, she will.
44:54When you need her the most.
44:56I need her now.
44:59Just give her time.
45:02What's going on?
45:03Devontae's principal just called.
45:05They found a gun in his book bag.
45:10I said, I met her on the internet.
45:13I said, little bitch, tryna fuck some.
