00:21 Morning, Guardian
00:23 Thank you
00:24 See you then
00:25 [Music]
00:29 [Door opening]
00:31 [Sigh]
00:33 [Sigh]
00:38 Oh, Father God, I'm so hot and tired and sweaty, Lord
00:44 Mummy, you can comb my hair, please, tomorrow?
00:48 It's the last day and I want to look good for you, can't I?
00:51 Of course, you could not give me a five minutes, girl
00:55 You see the message I sent you?
00:58 What message? What message?
01:00 Oh my God, what is this, man?
01:02 At least you could comb out your hair
01:04 Look, Mummy, look the message
01:06 What message? I don't even have on my glasses
01:08 Yes, but yeah, we say we ain't doing that because it's Saturday, Saturday
01:13 We can't make that
01:14 Okay
01:15 Can't make that
01:16 Tell me what's the comb out there, son of mine? How warm
01:20 Come
01:23 Who was telling on? Stop getting on so
01:27 [Sigh]
01:28 Lord, you can not give me a five minutes to rest myself, eh?
01:31 Gosh, Mummy, you put up my hair
01:34 You know what? You know what? Don't bother, don't bother
01:37 Well, fine
01:38 But, eh
01:40 I just can't catch a break in here, boy
01:43 You know much traffic I come through
01:46 You know the car don't have no gas, I have to find money for bills
01:49 And if one thing I can't do for you
01:52 Is my fault, right?
01:56 Oh, Jesus, and my fault
01:58 Mummy, Mummy, Mummy, look
02:00 His son, next text to come and meet him
02:03 For training at four
02:05 They the same volunteer thing?
02:06 Yeah, the same volunteer thing
02:08 Oh, gosh, well it's almost that time, you know
02:10 You want to do it?
02:11 Well, I really want to try next time, this thing now
02:15 Alright, I think it's a good opportunity
02:18 Come, let me go
02:19 Okay
02:21 [Doorbell rings]
02:22 You, you, you are John?
02:30 Yes, I am
02:32 Okay, well, I'm her mother
02:33 Well, you know, you can't be here for this training
02:38 You just can't be here
02:40 This is professional stuff, you can't be here
02:42 I understand, but you know I do any picking up, any dropping off
02:45 So I need to know where she'll be and stuff like that
02:48 Now, I don't want to use this word
02:50 But this is unacceptable
02:52 Look at the hour you're showing up here
02:54 This is not acceptable
02:56 Mister, what is unacceptable is that you all messaged my daughter yesterday for today
03:02 Listen, as a volunteer, she's supposed to be more serious
03:07 She's supposed to act as though she's getting paid
03:10 She has to show that
03:12 Is that so? Act as if she's getting paid?
03:14 Well, I believe if you want her to act as if she's getting paid
03:17 You all need to behave as if you're paying her
03:19 Sending her email yesterday to come and meet you today
03:22 That's not professional
03:24 But, ma'am, for your information, this contract has been on for five years now
03:28 That is not my business
03:30 Five years, ma'am
03:31 If it was five years, and you're now sending email
03:35 What are you talking about?
03:36 You should be telling the volunteers weeks and months in advance
03:39 Email? What email?
03:42 You sent her email, what you tell me you don't know the email?
03:45 I never sent any email
03:47 Yes, that is how I know your name
03:49 You never introduce yourself, number one
03:51 My daughter don't even know your name
03:53 You sent her email, I saw it
03:55 That's how I know your name
03:56 Yes
03:57 Well, I don't know what you're talking about
04:00 I'm not going to be another headline
04:02 Another statistic in someone's research
04:05 I'm a real person
04:07 And there is no time to lose
04:09 Destroy the rules
04:10 Remove the world over your eyes
04:12 Because I ain't going to be another headline
04:15 As they look in the shadows, we are so busy
04:18 You can't even see that it's looking right at me
04:21 Who can save me if I've disappeared?
04:23 But it ain't no game
04:24 Can you see my tears?
04:25 Can you hear my screams?
04:26 So please don't let me be another victim
04:29 Another funeral without a body
04:31 A missing person
04:32 A robbery that stole me from my family
04:35 Someone save me
04:36 It's time
04:38 It's time to read between the headlines
04:41 It's time
04:42 It's time to open your eyes
04:44 And see the lies and deception
04:46 Don't let them escape
04:48 And if not now, then when?
04:50 If not me, then who?
04:52 You know what?
04:53 You see, you and this training
04:55 You stay there
04:56 Thank you, Lord
04:57 See me?
04:58 I'm going to get something for you in the cool of my head, yeah?
05:00 [Music]
05:15 Hey, Mommy!
05:16 Can you come and help me with the video?
05:18 Yeah, sure, come and see that
05:20 Sit down
05:23 Ooh, careful, careful
05:26 Alright, you have such nice, pretty hair
05:29 Thank you
05:30 Nice, nice, nice
05:33 Part it a little bit
05:36 Such kick hair
05:38 Such, so pretty
05:40 You had a good day today?
05:44 Yeah
05:45 Yeah?
05:46 You're looking forward to going back out and doing your stuff?
05:49 Mm-hmm
05:50 I'm a part
