00:04:57And you gave it up
00:04:59They beat me down

00:06:41Yo, so you back for more?
00:06:53Caden, don't
00:06:58Come on, let's go
00:07:00Come on, let's go
00:07:07Southside
00:07:09Jamaica, Queens
00:07:111985
00:07:13Caden, messing these niggas up
00:07:15That was the first time my name rang out
00:07:19And it ain't stopped ringing since
00:07:30That's the bell
00:07:31Everyone, get to class
00:07:37That's the bell
00:07:38Can you hear me?
00:07:39This is my office
00:07:44I just got home
00:07:45I had to go to the doctor
00:07:48I'm sorry
00:07:49I'm sorry
00:07:50I'm sorry
00:07:51I'm sorry
00:07:52I'm sorry
00:07:53I'm sorry
00:07:54I'm sorry
00:07:55I'm sorry
00:07:56I'm sorry
00:07:57I'm sorry
00:07:59This could be a life-changing opportunity for you, Caden
00:08:03Stuyvesant is one of the best high schools in the country
00:08:06That's what I'm talking about
00:08:08Mom, but I want to change schools
00:08:10There isn't enough time to fully prepare Caden for the entrance exam
00:08:13But I am betting that just based on what he already has stored up in that ample brain of his
00:08:18He'll do quite well
00:08:20It's a brand new school building with a pool
00:08:23Five gymnasiums
00:08:24Twelve science labs
00:08:26And escalators
00:08:27What?
00:08:29Escalators?
00:08:30The building costs $150 million
00:08:34That's real money
00:08:35The most expensive high school ever built in the city
00:08:38With a top-notch faculty to match
00:08:41Stuyvesant ain't playing
00:08:42I hope you don't mind that I took the liberty of signing Caden up for the entrance exam myself
00:08:48But there's still paperwork that requires your signature
00:08:53Thank you
00:08:54There's no limit to your potential, Caden
00:08:56And there's nothing worse than squandered talent
00:09:13You're taking a test and you're going to that school?
00:09:15I like it here
00:09:17I'd have to take the bus all the way down to Southern and take the E
00:09:20What am I trying to do all that?
00:09:22Besides, I'm doing good here. Why we got to go switch it up?
00:09:24Because there is a better plan for you
00:09:27A bigger world
00:09:33That's me right there
00:09:35It's the only shit I ever liked in school
00:09:38My girl Cassiopeia
00:09:40She got put up here as punishment
00:09:42Rolled up on Poseidon and said she was fond of that as Mervay
00:09:45So he threw her up in the sky
00:09:47Spins around the North Pole for eternity
00:09:52That girl is just holding on
00:09:54Always about to fall off the throne
00:09:59That's real right there
00:10:04Look, I got a plan for you, Caden
00:10:06And this new school, it figures in just right
00:10:08So you're going to take that test
00:10:10You're going to get into that school downtown
00:10:12You're going to go to college
00:10:13And you're going to become a CEO or some shit
00:10:16You're about to live a life that people around here only dream about
00:10:21But I'd be away from you, though
00:10:25Your life is my life
00:10:27You fly, I fly
00:10:31I can go
00:10:32I love you
00:10:38For the Father waits over the way
00:10:45To prepare us a dwelling place
00:10:52In the sweet by and by
00:10:55You hear that?
00:10:57You feel that?
00:10:59My cousin Jukebox can sing
00:11:01But that voice going to fool your ass
00:11:04Because you never knew a nigga harder than Jukebox
00:11:07And I ain't never loved nobody harder neither
00:11:10Juke everything
00:11:12We shall meet on that beautiful shore
00:11:28Caden
00:11:30What's up, Divina?
00:11:36I saw your mom in the hallway earlier today
00:11:40She's so pretty
00:11:42Divina Harrison
00:11:43To me, Divina was the dopest girl on the south side, no question
00:11:48See, Divina didn't even know she was a dime
00:11:52Which only made her that much finer
00:11:54Anytime she looked in my direction
00:11:56I damn near forgot my own name
00:11:59Look at me
00:12:00Nigga can't even speak
00:12:03And you got them same jeans
00:12:07Look, I ain't never really seen a good picture of my pops
00:12:10He might be crazy ugly, I don't know
00:12:12Look, everybody says he used to like run the hood back in the day
00:12:15And they don't let ugly dudes do that
00:12:17And you cute already anyway
00:12:20Next

00:13:08That's not the worst rhyme you've ever spit
00:13:11Thanks
00:13:12Sean, Puerto Rican famous figueroa
00:13:16But we just call him famous
00:13:17Because when he was in the third grade
00:13:19He won some contests to read a poem he wrote on the radio
00:13:23That shit was garbage, but that's my nigga
00:13:33Every school got a Davina Harrison
00:13:36And every Davina Harrison in every school got a boyfriend like Buck 20

00:40:45It stayed with you
00:40:49It lived with you
00:40:51Y'all, let them!
00:40:53Canaan, let's go, man
00:41:03Fuck
00:41:16It's been a minute since anybody asked me out on a date
00:41:20I know I'm not the kind of brother you'd probably mess with
00:41:26I'm in a specific line of work, Symphony
00:41:30Not everybody can get down
00:41:34It's not a problem for you, it's not a problem for me
00:41:44So, urban planning
00:41:47What do I need to know?
00:41:49Oh, man, how much time you got?
00:41:54How about when Robert Moses built a cross Bronx in the 40s?
00:41:58He moved out 5,000 low-income families, just threw them in the street
00:42:03But if he'd run the expressway along Cortona Park like a lot of people told him to
00:42:07Only like 50 families would have had to go
00:42:12I've never even heard of Robert Moses
00:42:14Pretty much the architect of the whole damn city
00:42:17And Westchester and Long Island and Rockland County
00:42:20A lot of people, including me, think he destroyed those spots
00:42:27But I tell you all that because that right there is urban planning
00:42:30It's where policy and design intersect
00:42:34Look who you done started
00:42:39I like brothers with bigger ideas than me
00:42:49Katie
00:42:54I'm sorry, I gotta go
00:43:00For dinner
00:43:01For dinner
00:43:02No, but I asked you up
00:43:07I had squashed it, Kanan
00:43:09It was done, over
00:43:11We made that peace
00:43:12Ma, he tried to kill you
00:43:13Then it was just on your corner, disrespecting you?
00:43:15Hell no
00:43:16I gave him those corners
00:43:20Why would you do that?
00:43:21Great question
00:43:22Here we go
00:43:23You wanna start your own shit?
00:43:24Make your own cause, have at it, nigga
00:43:26But if the past taught us anything, it's that you're not made to sit in this seat
00:43:29To walk in these fucking shoes
00:43:31So how about you shut the fuck up and let me speak to my son?
00:43:37That your blood?
00:43:42No, it's the other kid
00:43:43Yeah, the dead kid
00:43:46So just so we clear, you and your friends killed that boy for a corner I already gave up
00:43:51I didn't know you gave it up
00:43:52Exactly
00:43:53You don't know, but you think you do
00:43:55You all do
00:43:56And where the fuck was you at when all this stupidness was going down?
00:44:03Choir practice
00:44:06Singing
00:44:08She was singing
00:44:09Ma, I wanna help you
00:44:11You wanna help me?
00:44:12Yes
00:44:13Go to that school and get the fuck up out of here
00:44:15You could've sent me to live with grandmoms a long time ago
00:44:18School's out there safe, it's good
00:44:20But you ain't do that
00:44:21You kept me right here next to you
00:44:23You ain't do that
00:44:24You kept me right here next to you
00:44:26Cause this is all we got
00:44:28I'm here because you wanted me here
00:44:30And now you're trying to send me to some spot downtown, right?
00:44:33So I can go to college, get some corny-ass job and raise up off the block forever
00:44:37Leave you here alone
00:44:39Which one is it, Ma?
00:44:40Am I staying here or am I going?
00:44:45Pharrell, you need to make up your mind
00:44:49Go to your room
00:44:54I'm grown
00:44:56I don't think you could tell me to do that
00:44:58You must be out your damn mind
00:44:59Somebody gotta fly that flag and have your back
00:45:02That's what I did
00:45:04Ma, that's who I am
00:45:05No, no, no, I tell you who you are, Kane
00:45:07And not the other way around
00:45:08I am your mother
00:45:15That sweatshirt gotta go, Ra

00:46:23What's up?
00:46:41What's up?
00:46:42It ain't nearly that time yet, Kane
00:46:45Not even close
00:46:54Go take out the garbage and get back up to your room
00:47:08I'm gonna take you to your grandmother's
00:47:20Maybe you were right
00:47:23Maybe I should have sent you out there from the red
00:47:54Yo, Kane
00:48:09Kane!
00:48:14I'm good, I'm good
00:48:15I'm out of here

00:48:48Act like he own the streets
00:48:51Like we all answer to his ass
00:48:53Like he the biggest gangster around the way
00:48:56But it ain't that simple
00:48:58It ain't never that simple
00:49:01Looks like baby boy's balls dropped
00:49:07The blocks are saying him and his boys, they got prices on their heads
00:49:10Yeah, Ra
00:49:12Block's got it wrong
00:49:14Maybe you should, uh
00:49:16Get out while you still can
00:49:20Yeah
00:49:28They hit the wrong house
00:49:30Just a fucked up mistake
00:49:32That's your story, you sticking to it

00:57:24Circling the world with your name on it
00:57:28And you're gonna be running from it for forever
00:57:32You want to be in it?
00:57:35You in it

00:58:27This is that story
00:58:30This is my story
00:58:33This is the story
00:58:35This is the story
00:58:37This is the story
00:58:39This is the story
00:58:40This is the Southside Jamaica Queens story
00:59:11While he's having hard times writing rhymes
00:59:13So he knows all my metaphors and dimes on my lines
00:59:16Which is the reason why I like to hang out and hustle
00:59:19With my friends to get away from pins and copiers
00:59:22So I'm Corona bound to check through
00:59:25A.K.A. Dr. Butcher and what's going down
00:59:28And Joe with the Jetta enables us to get around town
00:59:31He's a clown
00:59:33Other than that I'm with Joe Burgos
00:59:36Watching old Black Caesar flick for kicks
00:59:37Jump in the Wagoneer
00:59:39We're out of here without an idea where
00:59:41But usually we wind up there
00:59:43I go over K-Cuss, block cuss, rock cuss
00:59:45This is what he brings
00:59:47This is what he brings
00:59:49This is what he brings
00:59:51This is what he brings
00:59:53This is what he brings
00:59:55This is what he brings
00:59:57This is what he brings
01:00:07This is what he brings
