All a nigga gotta do is sweep and mop.

Hey, you don't need no damn degree for this.

- Oh, so you gonna curse out

the person that's gotta hire you?

- Say look, hold up.

I'm a man, first and foremost.

I really don't need your validation.

You can leave.

- Hold up, hold up.

You sit up here in your fancy office,

and people like me really out here trying to do better.

But instead of building us up,

you tear a nigga down.

- You know what kills me about niggas?

That you always want a fuckin' handout.

Man, my mama died when I was 10 years old,

and my grandmother raised me.

We had nothin'.

Now look, I'm damn near runnin' things, dog.

- But guess what?

We the same nigga.

Just with two different sides of the block.

You know what, you right.

You might be runnin' this place,

but at the end of the day,

you still gotta answer to somebody, too, nigga.

Square ass man.

- You want me to call security?

- Yeah, have him come in.

- What, are you?

- Bring him back.

- Okay.

- What's up?

- I'll give you one chance.

Don't fuck up, or you out.

Be here Monday at eight.

- Nigga, I don't fuck up.

- Girl, that's a good set you had over there today.

- Well thank you, baby.

- No problem.

But look, I'm finna get up out of here,

but make sure you tell little David

to keep beating on drums.

- Lord, that is all he do.

But I'll make sure I tell him.

- All right, have a good one, okay?

- You too, baby.

I'll see you later.

Well hey, Nick.

Look, I just need my pay so I can get back to David.

- How you feelin'?

- I feel all right.

I mean, sometimes I have morning sickness,

but we all right.

- You know you don't have to deal with this, right?

We can set an appointment,

and just get all this taken care of.

- Nick, I'm not gettin' rid of my baby.

We did this together, you and me,

so why can't we just be together?

- 'Cause we can't, all right?

- So is it because I'm not pretty enough for you?

- No, that's not it.

Look.

Keesha, I'm married.

- Married? - Yeah.

- You married, Nick?

So, is that why you keep me in these hotels.

- No, no.

This wasn't supposed to be all like this.

Everything just started happening so fast.

- Just give me my pay, Nick.

So you don't have nothin' to say.

- Bye, Keesh.

And don't bother comin' around here again.

- I hope you rot in hell.

So my mama had a baby by a married man?

Yeah, but she didn't know.

After she had the baby,

she knew she couldn't take care of both of y'all.

That's when she started to get sick.

So she dropped the baby off at Nick's doorstep.

So you're telling me I got a brother out here?

I mean, what's his name?

Why did you take him in?

She was so ashamed

to have had a baby by a married man.

After she died, I couldn't find him.

What's his name, huh?

We could try to find him.

I would love to meet him.

Baby, you already have.

What do you mean?

His name is Rocky Willis,

and he would be 32 years old.

Wait, wait, so you're tellin' me

that Rock is my brother?

Yes, baby.

Rock is your younger brother.

He was tellin' me when he grew up,

it was a rough time,

especially when his dad passed.

That's probably why I couldn't find him.

That's crazy, my own brother went through all that

and still finds a way.

A way to smile.

And you had all the things he did not.

- Granny, I'm gonna go to the neighbor and find him, okay?

And bring him back here.

- Okay, baby.

David?

Merry Christmas!

- Jacob, go to the back.

Who is this? - It's David.

- Who is David? - Rock's supervisor.

- Come in.

What's goin' on?

- You must be Lauren.

I've heard a lot about you.

- Same here.

I've heard so much about you, as well.

- Is Rock here?

- No he's not.

- And do you know where he is?

I have something very important to tell him.

- What's goin' on?

- All right, this may sound a little weird,

but that's my brother.

- Wait, what?

- Yeah, his mother gave him to his dad

when he was a little baby, and-

- I thought he was raised in foster care.

- He was, after his father was murdered.

- Are you serious?

- Yeah, yeah.

- Is that him as a baby?

- Yeah, that's, that's our mother.

- Wow.

Hey, you.

- Who is this, Mama?

- This must be little Jacob.

- Yes.

This is your uncle.

- Uncle?

- Yes, your dad's brother.

- What's up, little man?

I'm, I'm your uncle.

- Does Rock know?

- I doubt it.

- Jacob, can you go back there

and get me your Christmas list?

- Okay.

- Wow.

What's goin' on?

- I overheard him talking about robbing a Christmas truck.

- You serious, rob, why is he gettin' back

into the game like that?

But you know what, it's all my fault.

- How?

- Well, the other night, we got in an argument and,

I fired him.

- That's why he was upset.

- Yeah it was, so do you know where he is?

- No, wait, wait.

He dropped this note.

- You know, this is not too far from here.

You know, I'mma go get him, all right?

- I'mma go wit you.

- No whoa, whoa, wait, wait, wait.

You stay here with little Jacob.

We can't have this generational curse

going again, all right?

- Give me your phone.

Give me.

Here is my number.

Call me.

- Will do.

- Man, I don't think they comin'.

King said his inside person will be here around 10:30.

Shit, it's 10:35 now.

- Is you getting scared?

- Nah man, it's just- - Just what?

- Damn, you don't want to be a man?

- Here you go with this shit.

- No for real, man, you can get out this shit.

- How?

Tell me, how?

I'm just gonna be missing two more eyes,

and then I'mma be in debt, just like you.

- Man, I got this little rap thing goin' with my manager.

It really could put some legitimate income

in my pocket, you feel me?

- Man, I don't want to hear about that bullshit.

- Man, I'm serious, man.

So this is what we doin'?

- You see this right here?

That's because of you.

- Look I'm sorry, you right.

Let's get it.

- Think that's them right there.

- Yo, Rock.

Man, don't do nothin' you gonna regret.

- What, man?

- Man look, put your mask on, all right?

I think there go the truck right there.

- Don't do it.

- Man, I gotta get it some kind of way.

I can't leave my boy out here to dry.

That's something you might not know nothin' about, you know?

- You're right, 'til I met you.

Man, you showed me what it's like

for somebody to be in my corner, man.

- Forget all that, all right?

Come on.

- I can't, bro.

Time to get out of here.

Let's do something better.

- Knew you motherfuckers wasn't gonna finish the job.

- Don't worry, I'll get you your money.

But I ain't finna fuck up the hood Christmas party.

- Which one of you motherfuckers is gonna pay me?

- Man, what he owe you?

- $5,000.

Hey man, I don't do no checks man.

- You gonna take it today, it's all I got,

'cause you not taking my brother.

- The fuck, is this a family affair?

Take this.

- Man, this shit better cash or I'm coming to see you, man.

Designer ass nigga.

- Know what?

We want him, too.

- This bum ass eye one nigga?

Come on, y'all.

- Hey man, that's an extra $50.

- Come on.

What's up, man?

- What's goin' on, man?

- Say man, I really wanna appreciate you

for what you did for me yesterday, man.

- No pressure, man, it's all good.

- I wanna ask you something.

- Yeah.

- What you mean by me being your brother?

You know you kinda said that.

What's up with that?

- I was at my grandmother's house the other day,

and she had a picture of you as a baby,

and it was

with your mom.

- Yeah?

- Your mom, which is my mom as well,

gave you up when you was a baby to your dad

when she found out he was married.

So yeah, we are brothers.

- You mean to tell me you're my brother?

- It's kinda cool to find out that I got family.

Especially all these years, you know that

I just ain't had nobody around.

- Man, that's crazy.

- I'm your big bro.

Little bro, big bro.

Love you, man. - Love you too, brother.
