[Music]

[Church organ playing]

Let the church say Amen

let the church say Amen.

Oh somebody better give God

some praise in his house.

Hallelujah!

We serve a mighty God.



God that woke us up this morning

and started us on our way Amen.

clothed in our right minds.

I mean get into this text cause

I mean I'm a little bit excited.

I don't know about you but God

is so good Amen?

The text is gonna come from

Matthew Chapter 26.

We're gonna start at the

sixth verse.

And it reads like this.

Now when Jesus was in Bethany,

and the House of Simon the leper



there came onto him,

a woman,

having a bottle of

precious ointments.

Son can't you just feel the

spirit all in this place?

Yeah, it's ok ma.

But when the disciples saw it,

they had indignation saying,

to what matter...

is...

this...

waste.

Now when I read this text i...

I got a little bit...

annoyed...

with the disciples.

See here.

See the deciples...

A yo pops you alright?

Yeah...

[Coughing]

I'm alright boy.

Sometimes we can get caught up

in worrying about the Joneses.

All right now.

So! Come on ya'll,

go with me now.

Now If i step on your feet

just move them back.

Yeah I'm okay with that now.

Now sometimes we can get

caught up,

in the wrong spirit.

We can get caught up in the

spirit of jealousy...

and and.

And we can get caught up in the

spirit of pride.

And...

And we can get caught up...

in the spirit...

of...

envy.

See the spirit of envy is

wanting something...

that belongs

to somebody else.

See... See,,, How Long?!!

Are we gone worry about...

what someone else has going on?

How long?!!

Are we gone worry about,

someone else hopes,

their desires,

and their goals?

See how long?!!

Are we gone be all up

in somebody else's business?

I'm here to let you know....

Hey there go Peaches!

Where you goin?

Mom i need to talked to Peaches.

Brian could you please

tell your son to...

[Church organ playing]

Peaches.

What do you want Marcus?

Can we talk?

I just...

Look first

I just want to say I'm sorry,

for what happened at the...

at the event.

You know that was me!

Everything happened so fast.

Marcus!

You embarrassed me!

Made me feel like I was nothing!

Now months later you're sorry?!

My momma always said

Peaches was the one.

And deep down inside

i knew she was right.

of bad decisions...

my life took a turn fo the worse

As usual... but I tell you what.

If you keep that up

house.

Oh really?

Well lately it seems like you've

been just a little bit too busy

for me.

Yeah.

Yeah I know.

I know and I apologize for that.

But you know howit is. In order

for us to maintain this

lifestyle.

You know... There are certain

sacrifices that I simply have to

make baby.

Well just remember you're not

the only one sacrificing.

Shanice...

Are our sacrifices really that

different?

Yes they are.

How? I mean i don't get it.

Maybe it's just that sometimes I

feel like I'm a prisoner in my

own house.

Prisoner?

No it ain't like that.

OK.

You know who I am.

And you know what I do.

OK.

So I simply cannot have you in

and out the house at all times

of day and night. Come on now!

I love you... and love will get

you killed!

So therefore you have to agree

to my terms.

OK?

My rules are in place for a

reason.

All right?

And I understand that baby but

sometimes I just,

[sigh]

I just want a normal life.

Normal? Yes normal. Baby nothin

normal about being broke.

At least not for me!

See that's what I'm talking about

Lenny... You are not in this

relationship by yourself. i

every day that I wake.

That's the bed you made girl.

You think I want this in my

life.

Niggas trying to kill me.

You're absolutely right.

That's why I had to end things

getting you mixed up in all of

this and for that I truly

apologize to you.

Look I'm only calling you now

give you a chance to have a part

in your son's life.

Son?

What you mean son?

That's right.

person I slept with.

And I'm supposed to believe

that?

Don't email me.

Enough is enough girl.

[Deep sigh]

Look contrary to what you

believe.

I don't sleep around and I'm not

trying to trick you.

Just go take the DNA test

Marcus please!

If not for me do it for the

child.

Who could be your son.

God!

Just think how your life will be

if you had to grow up without

your dad.

I'll take the damn test girl.

["Carla Cook" Not gonna let you]

*They'll be times

Church...

We're gathered here to celebrate

the life.

And the legacy.

Of Deacon Brian Allen Williams.

A man who served this church.

Metropolitan Community

Tabernacle for over twenty two

years.

So how are you holding up

Deb?

What are you doing here?

I just wanted to be here for you

and Marcus.

Is that such a bad thing.

Then you shall call first.

I know I know I should have

called you Ded but you see I

just want.

Will this is my husband's

funeral.

But he was my best friend.

[Footsteps]

Marcus...

Marcus...

Peaches.

I'm so glad you could make it.

It's good to see you.

How you holding up?

Best I can I guess.

Your mom seems to be doing well.

[Deep sigh]

Mom's...

She's faking Peaches.

On the inside she's crying

screaming.

Wonder what she'll do without

her best friend of 36 years.

Wow.

Thirty-six years?

Well if

she's faking she's doing a heck

of a job.

Peaches I don't meaning to talk

to you.

[Deep sigh]

I miss you.

Look I don't know what this

Harvey thing was about and I

really don't care.

I need you in my life.

I still love you.

I've missed you too.

And the whole Harvey thing's

been over for months.

I heard about his cousin trying

to shoot you and he swore

he didn't have and nothing to do

with it. I didn't belive him.

Besides...

He's already got a new dance

partner and he's claiming

victory for the dance

competition.

Especially since you're not

competing.

Peaches he can have it.

I don't care.

Look ever since I won this

competition I've been losing

everything that I really care

about and I'm not gonna let this

dance world take anymore for me.

Sometimes things don't go the

way we plan.

But there's always a lesson in

them and it seems you've learned

your lesson.

Good for you.

Peaches, peaches you're what's

good for me.

Hell I've always known that.

Every sense i've

looked into your eyes.

[Deep sigh]

Is that Will?

You just don't understand.

No I don't!

It's probably nothing.

Look I still gotta look into it.

just wait and I'll be right

back.

I'll be right back.

I just...

Is there a problem?

No son and there's no problem.

He was just leaving.

If you would just let me

explain.

No.

Look...

Maybe later Maybe some other

time.

I'm feeling a little tired right

now because of all this and I

think I just need to go home and

lay down for a while.

Well Will,

I think it's time you

leave, man.

Wow.

You look really good son.

I just want to say to you -

Look, first of all.

I'm not your son.

And second my mother has

already asked you to leave!

Now for the last time,

Cat Daddy!

Pimp your way on

up out the door.

You know.

You're right.

You're right.

Forgive me.

I'm sorry.

Maybe you and I can continue

this conversation at another

time.

I've got to leave for Italy next

week so, y'all take care.

Ma, what is he telling us for?

Who does he think he is?

[alarm beeps]

[door closes]

I know son.

[sighs]

Son, there's... something I need

to tell you.

What's goin on, Ma?

You know the man I was talking

to earlier when you walked up?

His name is... William Lee.

Ma...

I know who you're talkin

about.

Why you bringin him up, Ma?

Son...

William is your father.

Ma,what are you talking about?

We just buried my father.

No son.

Your biological father.

What?!

Ma, how could you do this to me?!

And of all days why would you

pick today to tell me this?

Look, son, I tried to tell you

before.

It just never seemed like the

right time!

[Not the right time.]

And you thought today was the

right time?

Really?

Look son I know this comes as a

shock to you.

Huh, "a shock."

But, son...

There were some things that

happened back then that I just I

just couldn't explain to you.

Ma, couldn't tell me or

wouldn't tell me? Chose not to

tell me?

You know this is some bullshit!

[slap]

Don't you ever talk to me like

that.

I'm still your mother!

I'm sorry, Ma.

[Deep sigh]

But, with all due respect...

I don't know that man as

my father.

I don't want to know that man as

my father.

Right now...

I don't even know who you are

But what you can do for me.

What you really can do for me.

Take care of my family.

Especially Marcus.

Please my son take care of my

I'm so sorry.

Tell her that I love her.

Her and Marcus.

Very much...

[Crying]

Don't worry man.

Okay...

Really?

So what happened when you came

back?

By then you were about twelve.

Brian and I had fallen in love

and when Will saw how happy

the three of us were together,

he decided to just let us live

our lives.

I followed every part of your

life.

I was at every sporting event.

Every dance competition.

Every graduation.

And not only just that.

Every major

event you've been in.

Sense age 12.

I just didn't want to

be noticeable.

Until last year...

When you won that ballroom

competition.

I was so proud of you.

The title!

Back in the family.

Yes!

Family?

Family?!

Hell I was taught that a family

prays together.

A family!

Eats together.

Hell a family looks

out for one another.

My father...

My real father Brian!

he taught me that.

Yeah he taught

you right.

And he did a great job in

raising a family.

Look.

I'm not here to replace

your father.

All I'm asking...

is whether or not

we could be friends.

I don't have

many of those either.

Son just be open to it.

Why Ma?!

So he could feel better

about leaving us?

I never felt good about leaving

you guys.

And I'll never let

that happen!

And it won't!

It won't.

Son why are you so angry?

Ma do you really have to ask me

that question?

really?!

Look if you're gonna blame

somebody blame me.

You don't get it do you?

Ma you're not the

one who left us.

He did.

And he came back son.

And he never left again.

Stop giving him credit for

coming back!

Hell he ain't done nothin for

us but come back.

That's not true son.

He's done plenty.

Ma what do you mean,

Done plenty?

Your first car.

School pictures.

School clothes.

Senior trips.

Will

made sure all of that happened

and some.

I've always been there

for you son.

Just from afar.

And you know what?

That was the hardest thing in

the world for me to do.

But you see...

Something's...

just not in your control.

All I'm asking is

Is if you and I..

can be friends.

Damn.

All this time.

[Music]

Love you son.

Always have.

I can't make you no promises.

But I am in need of a

dance coach.

I got called out on national

television about an hour ago.

Yeah...

Isaw that.

Welp!

I can show you a few moves now!

But in your case.

No need to worry son.

Dancing is who you are.

It's in your blood.

It's in your blood son.

["Malaya" "Beautiful"]

*There's a girl in the distance

*And she's asking for forgiveness

*While she's runnin round

*the city

*Lonely

*She said

*only

*If someone would come

*and hold me

*I would'nt be so cold inside

*I can't hide this feelin

*Lost soul, in a...

*Big croud

*Nowhere to go and,

*Nowhere to be found

*Beautiful...

*I just want you to know,

*babe i've been thinking of ya

*Yeah...

*Beautiful...

*I just want you to know,

*babe i've been thinking of ya

*Yeah...

*And when the lonely nights,

*become unbareable...

*I'll be there to hold ya,

*beautiful

*Feel the pain in her wisper,

*as she's calling for her savior,

*but there's no one left

*to save her

*She's alone in the darkness,

*running around into the night

*But there's no one letf to,

*pull her to the light
