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?

Look first
I just want to say I'm sorry,

at the event.
You know that was me!
Everything happened so fast.

You embarrassed me!
Made me feel like I was nothing!
Now months later you're sorry?!

of bad decisions...

Hey baby looking good... Smelling

Thank you babe.
You too.
As usual... but I tell you what.
If you keep that up
we gone have to go back in the
house.
Oh really?
Yeah absolutely.
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
never said.
And money isn't everything.

everything.

coming from all right.

home and afraid for my life
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

I know I'm 100 percent wrong for
getting you mixed up in all of
this and for that I truly
apologize to you.
Look I'm only calling you now
because I just wanted to
give you a chance to have a part
in your son's life.
Son?
What you mean son?
That's right.
I'm pregnant with your son

I know because you were the last
person I slept with.
And I'm supposed to believe
that?
What?!
Girl don't call me.
Don't text me.
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...

[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.

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]

at the event.
You know that was me!
Everything happened so fast.

You embarrassed me!
Made me feel like I was nothing!
Now months later you're sorry?!

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

That's the bed you made girl.
You think I want this in my

Niggas trying to kill me.
You're absolutely right.

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?

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

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]

What's goin on, Ma?
You know the man I was talking
to earlier when you walked up?
His name is... William Lee.

about.
Why you bringin him up, Ma?
Son...

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.

[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.
