WEBVTT

00:00:18.601 --> 00:00:21.771
First he has to put a shirt on.

00:00:27.110 --> 00:00:29.988
Alright, you all ready?

00:00:49.007 --> 00:00:52.010
Hey!

00:01:06.066 --> 00:01:09.235
This, this, this last bar here,

00:01:09.235 --> 00:01:11.821
this represents when I
dropped out of school

00:01:11.821 --> 00:01:14.532
and tried to commit crime full time.

00:01:14.532 --> 00:01:19.079
That was the last bar that
put me in prison for 15 years.

00:01:24.834 --> 00:01:27.295
Thank you.

00:01:29.005 --> 00:01:34.177
Another artist in the house?
Thank you.

00:01:37.514 --> 00:01:39.432
Yeah.

00:01:39.432 --> 00:01:41.643
Alright.

00:01:41.643 --> 00:01:44.938
We got something special for you all.

00:01:44.938 --> 00:01:48.733
It’s a special surprise we got
the youngest rapper alive.

00:01:48.733 --> 00:01:52.654
And he’s getting ready to go in.

00:01:52.695 --> 00:01:55.198
Come on.

00:01:58.409 --> 00:02:00.203
I don’t want to go to jail.

00:02:03.414 --> 00:02:06.167
Jail is for suckers and we ain’t sweet,

00:02:06.167 --> 00:02:09.045
I demand that you educate me.

00:02:10.296 --> 00:02:12.757
Education over incarceration.

00:02:12.757 --> 00:02:13.424
GLAW.

00:02:13.424 --> 00:02:15.802
Education over incarceration.

00:02:15.802 --> 00:02:16.636
GLAW.

00:02:16.636 --> 00:02:18.930
Education over incarceration.

00:02:18.930 --> 00:02:21.683
Uncle Sam is your plan
to arrest the whole nation?

00:02:21.683 --> 00:02:25.478
Dear Mr. Governor my name
is lowercase g-law…

00:02:27.188 --> 00:02:29.566
This is the movement!

00:02:29.566 --> 00:02:32.777
Hey can we get a round of applause
for the youngest rapper alive?

00:02:32.777 --> 00:02:36.906
Alright you all listen let me tell you
what our mission is real quick.

00:02:36.906 --> 00:02:39.993
Fight hate with love, that’s the movement!

00:02:39.993 --> 00:02:44.164
Unprison America! That’s the movement,
it’s real simple.

00:02:44.164 --> 00:02:46.916
We ain’t got no big organization
supporting us.

00:02:46.916 --> 00:02:48.668
This is straight grass roots.

00:02:48.668 --> 00:02:51.880
If you’ve got some love throw
it in there but even if you don’t

00:02:51.880 --> 00:02:54.966
show us some love man,
it’s all about Fighting Hate with Love.

00:02:54.966 --> 00:02:57.135
It don’t cost nothing to sign

00:02:57.135 --> 00:02:59.387
to support the movement any way you can.

00:02:59.387 --> 00:03:00.722
Peace.

00:03:02.640 --> 00:03:03.766
Fighting hate with love.

00:03:03.766 --> 00:03:04.684
I like that.

00:03:04.684 --> 00:03:06.060
It’s real physical.

00:03:08.938 --> 00:03:10.690
Physical.

00:03:18.281 --> 00:03:20.950
I lost contact with Michael
when he was three years old

00:03:20.950 --> 00:03:23.912
to the time he was 13.

00:03:23.912 --> 00:03:25.872
I was on my way to prison.

00:03:27.540 --> 00:03:30.043
I was there for an attempted murder.

00:03:32.170 --> 00:03:34.714
I seen this tall gangly kid.

00:03:34.714 --> 00:03:37.967
I didn’t even know who he was at first.

00:03:37.967 --> 00:03:42.430
Come to find out he was my son.

00:03:42.430 --> 00:03:45.934
He seen me when I was
going through my worst hell.

00:03:45.934 --> 00:03:47.977
Which was drug addiction.

00:03:49.270 --> 00:03:52.148
Drug addiction is worse
than the penitentiary.

00:03:52.148 --> 00:03:53.650
We used together.

00:03:53.650 --> 00:03:56.152
We got high together, you know?

00:03:56.361 --> 00:04:01.616
That was our, you know, our downfall.

00:04:01.616 --> 00:04:01.824
That was our, you know, our downfall.
You know, that was our downfall.

00:04:01.824 --> 00:04:04.035
You know, that was our downfall.

00:04:04.035 --> 00:04:05.787
It was good to have my son with me,

00:04:05.787 --> 00:04:08.289
I, and I tried to teach,
I tried to teach him

00:04:08.289 --> 00:04:10.792
the best I could, but how can
you teach somebody,

00:04:10.792 --> 00:04:14.420
you know, without knowing yourself.

00:04:14.420 --> 00:04:18.216
You know, and I didn’t know
myself at that time.

00:04:22.470 --> 00:04:25.848
We did a lot of things
to support our habits.

00:04:27.225 --> 00:04:29.435
I taught him things maybe that a father

00:04:29.435 --> 00:04:31.688
shouldn’t have taught his kid.

00:04:32.772 --> 00:04:38.861
I taught him how to be a criminal
because I was a criminal.

00:04:41.614 --> 00:04:43.116
Kids look up to their father.

00:04:43.116 --> 00:04:46.327
They want to be what
their fathers are.

00:04:47.912 --> 00:04:51.666
I think about how my past
impacted Michael,

00:04:51.666 --> 00:04:54.919
it’s not easy man to have
to accept the fact

00:04:54.919 --> 00:04:57.171
that you did
your kids damage.

00:05:00.008 --> 00:05:01.509
I think I damaged him and that’s why

00:05:01.509 --> 00:05:04.595
he ended up doing so
many years in prison.

00:05:06.431 --> 00:05:09.434
I know there’s a lot of
anger on his part.

00:05:09.434 --> 00:05:12.562
And he has a right to be angry.

00:05:12.562 --> 00:05:15.732
I wasn’t the father
I should have been.

00:05:15.732 --> 00:05:19.902
But life doesn’t come with an eraser.

00:05:19.902 --> 00:05:23.072
You know, I can’t erase my past
and rewrite it.

00:05:23.072 --> 00:05:25.366
You know, I wish,
I wish I could.

00:05:25.366 --> 00:05:25.491
You know, I wish,
I wish I could.
You know, but I can’t.

00:05:25.491 --> 00:05:27.493
You know, but I can’t.

00:05:27.577 --> 00:05:30.580
You know? I can’t.

00:05:30.580 --> 00:05:33.082
And that’s the reality of it.

00:05:35.752 --> 00:05:38.129
When a man can’t take
care of his responsibilities

00:05:38.129 --> 00:05:41.382
that’s when he loses
self-respect and self-esteem.

00:05:43.259 --> 00:05:46.846
I agree that what he’s doing is good.

00:05:46.846 --> 00:05:49.766
It’s just that I don’t want him
to jeopardize his future

00:05:49.766 --> 00:05:55.188
and get stuck doing
activism when he’s 60.

00:05:55.188 --> 00:05:57.982
Charity starts at home.

00:07:06.300 --> 00:07:09.595
I usually wear this everywhere I can.

00:07:09.595 --> 00:07:13.433
I had too many men tell me that

00:07:13.433 --> 00:07:16.811
just hearing them chains
and seeing the suit

00:07:16.811 --> 00:07:21.274
made them reconsider doing
something they were going to do

00:07:21.274 --> 00:07:23.776
that could have got them in jail.

00:07:23.776 --> 00:07:27.155
So while one side
of the street laughing at me,

00:07:27.155 --> 00:07:30.491
the other side of the street get it.

00:07:30.491 --> 00:07:34.036
And if you can’t hear it
then maybe it ain’t for you.

00:07:34.036 --> 00:07:38.499
But everybody like it when
the streets is a little safer.

00:08:30.176 --> 00:08:32.261
What’s up ya’ll?

00:08:32.261 --> 00:08:33.888
How ya’ll today man?

00:08:36.307 --> 00:08:38.226
Ya’ll was feeling that?

00:08:38.226 --> 00:08:39.644
That was alright?

00:08:39.644 --> 00:08:42.063
I’m 41 now I just need
to know from you all

00:08:42.063 --> 00:08:43.940
if I still got it man, I can’t be corny.

00:08:43.940 --> 00:08:45.733
So, if I’m corny ya’ll got to be like OG

00:08:45.733 --> 00:08:47.527
you got to tighten that up.

00:08:47.527 --> 00:08:48.778
Alright?

00:08:48.778 --> 00:08:50.613
I’m going to show you all,


00:08:50.613 --> 00:08:52.657
how you get to prison.

00:08:53.950 --> 00:08:57.954
If I show you all
how I put myself in prison,

00:08:57.954 --> 00:09:00.957
that could teach ya\'ll
how to stay out of prison.

00:09:00.957 --> 00:09:02.959
Cause you all already
got one foot in already.

00:09:02.959 --> 00:09:03.876
You feel me?

00:09:03.876 --> 00:09:06.003
I’m going to show you
how to get the foot out.

00:09:06.003 --> 00:09:09.799
What he’s building out here
is helping out a lot

00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:13.386
because it’s keeping a lot
of us off the streets.

00:09:13.386 --> 00:09:16.806
It help a lot of us stay out jail.

00:09:16.806 --> 00:09:20.643
Help a lot of us not wind up dead.

00:09:20.643 --> 00:09:23.980
What he doing is real positive.

00:09:23.980 --> 00:09:25.439
He a good man.

00:09:25.439 --> 00:09:28.192
He lives around the corner
from me right now.

00:09:28.192 --> 00:09:30.444
It has been a change.

00:09:30.444 --> 00:09:33.072
Because he’ll stand out here late at night

00:09:33.072 --> 00:09:34.240
and make sure,

00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:35.908
if something was to go down,

00:09:35.908 --> 00:09:36.993
he, he would stop it.

00:09:36.993 --> 00:09:39.662
28 days straight locking myself
in that cage right there,

00:09:39.662 --> 00:09:40.621
I ain’t coming out.

00:09:40.621 --> 00:09:43.457
Listen to the sound
that will change your life.

00:09:43.457 --> 00:09:44.417
You hear that?

00:09:44.417 --> 00:09:46.335
You understand me man?

00:09:46.335 --> 00:09:48.170
It’s a trap bro.

00:09:48.170 --> 00:09:51.257
This what the world needs.
What the youth need, for real.

00:09:51.257 --> 00:09:53.718
Someone speaking to them
from their point of view.

00:09:53.718 --> 00:09:54.844
Like, a lot of people could say,

00:09:54.844 --> 00:09:57.471
“Hey, hey, don’t go to jail
and blah, blah, blah”,

00:09:57.471 --> 00:09:59.557
but to hear it from someone
who has been there,

00:10:00.641 --> 00:10:01.559
it’s something way different.

00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:03.311
They tell you you an ex-convict

00:10:03.311 --> 00:10:05.104
when you get out of jail but that’s a lie.

00:10:05.104 --> 00:10:08.316
Once you a convict
you carry the title.

00:10:08.316 --> 00:10:11.027
You go for a job
he’s been a convicted felon.

00:10:11.027 --> 00:10:12.778
They don’t call you an ex-con.

00:10:12.778 --> 00:10:14.655
They call you a convicted felon.

00:10:14.655 --> 00:10:16.198
He has a conviction.

00:10:16.198 --> 00:10:17.491
If you have a conviction,

00:10:17.491 --> 00:10:19.952
that mean you a convict. You understand?

00:10:19.952 --> 00:10:22.788
There ain’t no such
thing as an ex-convict.

00:10:22.788 --> 00:10:25.666
Once you put those
motherfucking clothes on

00:10:25.666 --> 00:10:30.796
I don’t care if you wear this
you still a convict!

00:10:32.173 --> 00:10:33.424
Game recognize game.

00:10:33.424 --> 00:10:36.344
I’m telling you the trap is really a trap.

00:10:36.344 --> 00:10:38.929
That’s all.

00:10:38.929 --> 00:10:43.142
It’s better out here.

00:10:55.237 --> 00:10:56.572
So I need calipers though.

00:10:56.572 --> 00:10:58.658
How much they cost?

00:11:24.767 --> 00:11:30.940
Right now, raising money to
complete the unprison cell.

00:11:30.940 --> 00:11:34.735
It’s the only jail cell in
America designed to keep

00:11:34.735 --> 00:11:38.322
children and people out.

00:11:38.322 --> 00:11:40.491
It’s on a 20 foot trailer.

00:11:40.491 --> 00:11:43.077
I’ll be sleeping in the jail cell,

00:11:43.077 --> 00:11:45.162
I’ll be talking to people
from the jail cell.

00:11:45.162 --> 00:11:46.914
I’ll be telling ‘em
what jail really is.

00:11:46.914 --> 00:11:49.625
I’m going to tell them the
things they daddy ain’t go tell em.

00:11:49.625 --> 00:11:52.920
Daddy ain’t going tell his son
when he got his commissary took.

00:11:52.920 --> 00:11:56.841
Daddy ain’t going tell his
son when he got his ass took.

00:11:56.841 --> 00:11:58.467
He’s not.

00:11:58.467 --> 00:12:01.303
So what you might hear
from him is something like uh,

00:12:01.303 --> 00:12:03.180
ah man, it wasn’t that bad
in there man I was just

00:12:03.180 --> 00:12:08.018
sitting in there chilling man, you know,
getting my weed with my homies man…

00:12:08.018 --> 00:12:09.603
No man.

00:12:09.603 --> 00:12:12.440
Killers cry in jail.

00:12:26.036 --> 00:12:28.706
No matter how many
times they tell me right,

00:12:28.706 --> 00:12:32.209
that, I’m wasting my time with you all.

00:12:32.209 --> 00:12:35.629
No matter what I say you all still
going to do dumbass shit to go to jail.

00:12:35.629 --> 00:12:39.884
I’m just the dumbass who
keep believing in you all

00:12:39.884 --> 00:12:41.469
Keep thinking that if
I say the right thing

00:12:41.469 --> 00:12:44.138
I might see you in five maybe
you give me a fucking job.

00:12:44.138 --> 00:12:45.389
Cause I already fucked my record up.

00:12:45.389 --> 00:12:47.016
My life already fucked up.

00:12:47.016 --> 00:12:49.518
I don’t got nothing
to lose already.

00:12:49.518 --> 00:12:51.145
Feel me?

00:12:51.145 --> 00:12:54.648
It’s the love team.

00:12:54.648 --> 00:12:58.986
Watch your back,
don’t get hit by they mirror.

00:13:06.952 --> 00:13:10.122
Crime being a normal way of life,

00:13:10.122 --> 00:13:12.833
it didn’t even seem like crime.

00:13:14.710 --> 00:13:18.464
It just was what everybody did to get by.

00:13:23.469 --> 00:13:27.431
Big cousins, uncles, fathers,

00:13:27.431 --> 00:13:31.018
I just followed suit.

00:13:35.356 --> 00:13:38.234
I went in a store with a gun

00:13:38.234 --> 00:13:43.656
and ended up with
7 and a half to 15 years.

00:13:43.656 --> 00:13:47.868
I apologize, sincerely.

00:13:52.248 --> 00:13:56.710
I felt cheated by the game.

00:13:56.710 --> 00:13:59.046
It made me look at

00:13:59.046 --> 00:14:02.800
thug life as the enemy now.

00:14:02.800 --> 00:14:05.135
Just like everybody else that cross me,

00:14:05.135 --> 00:14:10.599
I looked at thug life had crossed
me like all this I did for you,

00:14:10.599 --> 00:14:14.311
all this time I put in

00:14:14.311 --> 00:14:20.317
and all you got for me is
7 to 15 years in prison?

00:14:20.317 --> 00:14:22.611
And at that moment I had made the choice

00:14:22.611 --> 00:14:24.738
that I was going to do
something different.

00:14:29.201 --> 00:14:35.666
The real change came,
it took me to hit rock bottom.

00:14:35.666 --> 00:14:38.127
When Chante Wright got murdered

00:14:38.127 --> 00:14:39.795
she was my heart man.

00:14:39.795 --> 00:14:42.131
She got shot twice in the throat,
once in the back

00:14:42.131 --> 00:14:44.466
and I had to walk through that stuff man.

00:14:47.970 --> 00:14:49.889
I loved her.

00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:59.690
So I’m sitting in prison,
with the boy that killed her.

00:14:59.690 --> 00:15:01.025
Going crazy.

00:15:02.902 --> 00:15:05.779
And they took him out of his cell,

00:15:05.779 --> 00:15:08.866
and put me in his cell.

00:15:08.866 --> 00:15:11.201
And I was sleeping
in the bed of the man

00:15:11.201 --> 00:15:14.246
that killed my girl for
71 motherfucking days.

00:15:14.246 --> 00:15:16.624
Ya’ll guards are some
rotten people sometimes,

00:15:16.624 --> 00:15:17.541
God forgive them.

00:15:19.126 --> 00:15:22.755
That took me way over the edge.

00:15:23.881 --> 00:15:27.968
I used to laugh at people
for wanting to kill themselves.

00:15:27.968 --> 00:15:28.969
One night

00:15:28.969 --> 00:15:31.221
I sent everything home.

00:15:31.221 --> 00:15:34.892
My toothbrush, my last will and testament.

00:15:34.892 --> 00:15:38.687
Here, that’s all I got
to give you, that’s my shit.

00:15:40.898 --> 00:15:44.318
When I was about to do it,

00:15:44.318 --> 00:15:47.237
this peace came over me

00:15:48.155 --> 00:15:51.992
and I got kinda like dizzy.

00:15:52.034 --> 00:15:55.955
I laid down on the bed,
rocking myself

00:15:55.955 --> 00:15:58.791
and I was like,
“The Devil tryin’ to kill me.

00:15:58.791 --> 00:16:00.834
The Devil tryin’ to kill me.

00:16:00.834 --> 00:16:04.171
The Devil tryin’ to kill me.”

00:16:04.171 --> 00:16:06.840
And when I said that,
I guess that it was like,

00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:11.136
maybe God felt like
I had finally submitted.

00:16:11.136 --> 00:16:13.305
And I remember just
feeling peaceful like

00:16:13.305 --> 00:16:16.976
an angel was just hugging me,
and rocking me.

00:16:18.769 --> 00:16:23.273
And I went right to sleep.

00:16:23.273 --> 00:16:25.150
I woke up the next morning

00:16:25.150 --> 00:16:28.737
and I was laying there and the
sun was beaming through the bars

00:16:28.737 --> 00:16:31.490
on the gate on my body and I was warm.

00:16:31.490 --> 00:16:34.201
And I said, “God,

00:16:34.201 --> 00:16:36.870
if you real,

00:16:36.870 --> 00:16:38.706
and you say you ain’t going to put

00:16:38.706 --> 00:16:43.335
nothing on nobody
that they can’t bear,

00:16:43.335 --> 00:16:44.920
I need a visit.

00:16:44.920 --> 00:16:47.172
I need to get out this cell
for a little while.”

00:16:47.172 --> 00:16:49.258
As soon as I said it,

00:16:51.176 --> 00:16:54.096
the door opened up,

00:16:54.096 --> 00:16:55.222
opening my cell.

00:16:59.018 --> 00:17:02.062
Gwen was my friend at the time.

00:17:02.062 --> 00:17:03.731
Just a friend.

00:17:03.731 --> 00:17:06.817
She came and visited me and said,

00:17:06.817 --> 00:17:11.447
“It’s my first time ever visiting
somebody in prison man,

00:17:11.447 --> 00:17:15.367
and it is an awful experience.

00:17:15.367 --> 00:17:18.412
But you look like a warrior.”

00:17:22.708 --> 00:17:28.505
Everything is 51-49 God’s way
with me now.

00:17:28.505 --> 00:17:31.383
There is nothing or nobody
that is going to get

00:17:31.383 --> 00:17:34.762
more out of me than God.

00:17:38.015 --> 00:17:41.769
He sent me back out here to do something.

00:17:41.769 --> 00:17:45.647
He sent me out here to
fight hate with love.

00:17:52.154 --> 00:17:54.573
That better not be him.

00:17:54.573 --> 00:17:58.077
If that’s him we’re
going to rip right here.

00:18:02.956 --> 00:18:04.166
What’s up man?

00:18:04.166 --> 00:18:05.709
What’s up with you man?

00:18:05.709 --> 00:18:06.919
What’s what’s up? What’s the latest?

00:18:06.919 --> 00:18:09.505
Man we building the
Un-Prison cell we got the,

00:18:09.505 --> 00:18:11.507
this is the fight hate with love vehicle.

00:18:11.507 --> 00:18:13.467
We driving across the country with it.

00:18:13.467 --> 00:18:16.178
I had a flat tire man so, you know,

00:18:16.178 --> 00:18:17.262
I couldn’t hit the streets today.

00:18:17.262 --> 00:18:19.473
Where the, where the next stop at?
Where you going now?

00:18:19.473 --> 00:18:22.518
Either Chicago or Ferguson man,
as soon as we get done.

00:18:22.518 --> 00:18:23.894
Yeah. Yeah.

00:18:23.894 --> 00:18:26.396
What you doing?

00:18:29.775 --> 00:18:31.693
It’s a little disappointing.

00:18:31.693 --> 00:18:33.987
You know you want to get out
there you know what I mean, like,

00:18:33.987 --> 00:18:36.865
you know I’m out there fixing tires
and peoples coming asking me,

00:18:36.865 --> 00:18:38.534
“What is it? What is this about”?

00:18:38.534 --> 00:18:43.080
So I you know I have, you know,
something that draws interest

00:18:43.080 --> 00:18:45.040
to the young people,
to the specific people

00:18:45.040 --> 00:18:47.209
I’m trying to deliver a
message to, which is hard.

00:18:47.209 --> 00:18:51.547
I’ve seen many intelligent
people try to communicate

00:18:51.547 --> 00:18:54.550
with these young people and
they can’t speak they language,

00:18:54.550 --> 00:18:56.885
they don’t understand they artwork,
they don’t respect it,

00:18:56.885 --> 00:18:58.387
they don’t respect they style.

00:18:58.387 --> 00:19:02.891
Your pants is hanging down,
everything is an insult,

00:19:02.891 --> 00:19:05.644
you know when they
address the young people, so.

00:19:05.644 --> 00:19:08.730
My strategy,
my strategy does work.

00:19:08.730 --> 00:19:11.150
And I just wish I could
be out there everyday,

00:19:11.150 --> 00:19:12.401
you know what I mean,
you know doing it.

00:19:12.401 --> 00:19:13.652
Like I love it.

00:19:13.652 --> 00:19:16.113
I love the work, you know what I mean?

00:19:16.113 --> 00:19:20.033
You know it it it kind of cost me
my family this work

00:19:20.033 --> 00:19:24.454
and it’s because, you know,
doing this work and and

00:19:24.454 --> 00:19:28.125
being that grand provider
sometimes don’t mix.

00:19:28.125 --> 00:19:28.834
You know what I mean?

00:19:28.834 --> 00:19:32.045
Sacrifices and things like that
got to be made...

00:19:35.632 --> 00:19:37.676
Don’t leave the water running.

00:19:37.676 --> 00:19:40.762
Oops.

00:19:45.392 --> 00:19:48.520
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

00:19:49.688 --> 00:19:50.522
Sir Rahn.

00:19:50.522 --> 00:19:52.566
Turtles got it on!

00:19:52.566 --> 00:19:54.234
Yeah.

00:19:54.234 --> 00:19:57.321
You just always playing.
Play, play, play, play, play.

00:19:57.321 --> 00:20:00.490
What else can you be doing
while I’m doing this?

00:20:00.490 --> 00:20:04.244
Turtle got it on. 1, 2, 3, 4 turtles!

00:20:12.794 --> 00:20:16.757
You have to have breakfast in the morning.

00:20:16.757 --> 00:20:20.677
Sir Rahn did you get to it yet?

00:20:24.389 --> 00:20:28.393
This is what you supposed to do
before I have to ask you 500 times.

00:20:28.393 --> 00:20:29.978
Mom!

00:20:29.978 --> 00:20:33.023
Yeah mom. Mom.

00:20:33.023 --> 00:20:33.899
Mom!

00:20:33.899 --> 00:20:35.609
Alright, tuck your shirt in.
Your belt is on?

00:20:35.609 --> 00:20:36.985
Come on!

00:20:39.404 --> 00:20:41.448
When I met Mike,

00:20:41.448 --> 00:20:44.159
I was kind of just trying to get
some things together before

00:20:44.159 --> 00:20:46.620
going out on the road
with the Sheryl Crow tour.

00:20:51.124 --> 00:20:53.043
He was definitely different.

00:20:53.043 --> 00:20:57.673
He has a special thing about him.

00:20:57.673 --> 00:21:00.425
Michael wrote a book for me called

00:21:00.425 --> 00:21:02.594
“Whatever Comes Around Goes Around”.

00:21:03.303 --> 00:21:06.515
This was I guess you would
call it the forward

00:21:06.515 --> 00:21:08.183
that he wrote.

00:21:08.183 --> 00:21:10.769
Um, it said, “To my wife

00:21:10.769 --> 00:21:14.398
Gwendolyn Saron Jackson Tabon
for going against the grain.

00:21:14.398 --> 00:21:18.026
You married me next to a soda machine
in a prison’s visiting room

00:21:18.026 --> 00:21:20.404
you took me for worse already

00:21:20.404 --> 00:21:22.572
as you watched the world
turn its back on me

00:21:22.572 --> 00:21:25.742
and I lost everything, except you.

00:21:25.742 --> 00:21:31.248
I am glad to know that you\'ll be
around for the better dot, dot, dot.

00:21:31.248 --> 00:21:33.959
Thank you for all the visits
when you had to drive

00:21:33.959 --> 00:21:37.754
seven hours to Albion
through the snow.

00:21:37.754 --> 00:21:39.756
Thank you for the timbs,
the money orders,

00:21:39.756 --> 00:21:42.217
paying for and accepting my many calls

00:21:42.217 --> 00:21:45.554
when no one else who claimed
to love me would.

00:21:45.554 --> 00:21:47.681
And thank you for the volumes of letters

00:21:47.681 --> 00:21:51.810
when nobody else cared enough
to take a little time and write.

00:21:51.810 --> 00:21:55.856
Fear not babe,
I will hold tight to our vows

00:21:55.856 --> 00:21:57.524
and not cheat on you

00:21:57.524 --> 00:21:59.860
because I learned the hard way

00:21:59.860 --> 00:22:02.571
that whatever comes around goes around.

00:22:02.571 --> 00:22:03.780
G-LAW”.

00:22:03.780 --> 00:22:06.199
G-LAW means God\'s Love at work.

00:22:06.199 --> 00:22:08.285
So that was 2010.

00:22:10.120 --> 00:22:13.081
In my mind I hold on to
this piece of paper,

00:22:13.081 --> 00:22:18.295
“Fear not babe,
I will hold tight to our vows.”

00:22:29.973 --> 00:22:30.891
It don’t matter if you

00:22:30.891 --> 00:22:34.603
if you at the office all the time working.

00:22:34.603 --> 00:22:36.229
You have to put your family first.

00:22:36.229 --> 00:22:37.356
Everybody done told you that.

00:22:37.356 --> 00:22:39.858
Instead you’d rather
stay out on the street

00:22:39.858 --> 00:22:42.652
and show people you
care about them more so…

00:22:42.652 --> 00:22:44.446
Look at the condition of everybody.

00:22:44.446 --> 00:22:45.072
It doesn’t matter.

00:22:45.072 --> 00:22:46.865
Everybody that you talking about, right,

00:22:46.865 --> 00:22:48.992
when they kid get shot
they come to your doorstep

00:22:48.992 --> 00:22:50.702
and ask for your husband.

00:22:50.702 --> 00:22:53.789
Everybody you talking about when
they go through a position with they...

00:22:53.789 --> 00:22:55.332
you’ve seen it! You’ve seen it!

00:22:55.332 --> 00:22:56.083
No, no, no.

00:22:56.083 --> 00:22:58.752
They talk, look at the condition
of the world and tell me why,

00:22:58.752 --> 00:22:59.586
now just hear me out.

00:22:59.586 --> 00:23:00.754
Take your super hero cape off.

00:23:00.754 --> 00:23:02.381
Everybody don’t knock
on this freaking door.

00:23:02.381 --> 00:23:04.424
Everybody don’t knock
on this freaking door.

00:23:04.424 --> 00:23:08.428
The community don’t knock on
this freaking door all the time.

00:23:08.428 --> 00:23:09.096
You sure?

00:23:09.096 --> 00:23:11.014
I’m 100% positive, and it’s less…

00:23:11.014 --> 00:23:11.556
Who be here most?

00:23:11.556 --> 00:23:13.934
Who be, who be here most?

00:23:14.351 --> 00:23:17.396
Why, why are you here most?

00:23:19.648 --> 00:23:21.233
Family comes first.

00:23:21.233 --> 00:23:24.820
But you don’t put that same energy
and effort when it comes to me.

00:23:24.820 --> 00:23:26.154
That’s because you don’t see it.

00:23:26.154 --> 00:23:28.532
No you don’t see it! You don’t see it!

00:23:28.532 --> 00:23:30.617
Can you ever not see something?

00:23:30.617 --> 00:23:33.328
Our house is not done.

00:23:33.328 --> 00:23:35.122
You don’t be up there with me.

00:23:35.122 --> 00:23:37.749
You won’t even come up
there and eat dinner with me.

00:23:37.749 --> 00:23:39.918
You just want to do you
and be you all the time.

00:23:39.918 --> 00:23:42.587
People knock on my door when
shit going down, don’t they?

00:23:42.587 --> 00:23:43.463
Truthfully.

00:23:43.463 --> 00:23:45.173
Of course they do. Of course they do.
But that’s not the point.

00:23:45.173 --> 00:23:47.467
OK. So if beef is in the hood

00:23:47.467 --> 00:23:48.927
that got to do with some gun play,

00:23:48.927 --> 00:23:51.972
and when people get shot or things happen

00:23:51.972 --> 00:23:53.306
they come to my door. Right?

00:23:53.306 --> 00:23:56.226
Love your neighbor as you love yourself.

00:23:56.226 --> 00:23:58.854
So what I do is I take all the kids

00:23:58.854 --> 00:24:02.899
and give them the same
opportunity as I give our son.

00:24:02.899 --> 00:24:07.195
Our son ain’t in a bad situation
as the kids around here.

00:24:07.195 --> 00:24:08.947
If you loving your wife,

00:24:08.947 --> 00:24:10.407
as much as your neighbor,

00:24:10.407 --> 00:24:12.826
we would not be
having this conversation.

00:24:12.826 --> 00:24:14.494
You neglect your wife,

00:24:14.494 --> 00:24:17.873
and you consider doing
whatever for everybody else.

00:24:17.873 --> 00:24:17.914
and you consider doing
whatever for everybody else.
I would like it if you was
with me when I’m doing it...

00:24:17.914 --> 00:24:18.790
I would like it if you was
with me when I’m doing it...

00:24:18.790 --> 00:24:21.334
Excuse me. I am with you.
I am with you.

00:24:21.334 --> 00:24:23.211
The only time I’m not
with you is when I’m working

00:24:23.211 --> 00:24:24.963
or when you got people around you…

00:24:24.963 --> 00:24:25.755
No man…

00:24:26.590 --> 00:24:28.842
I can’t finish a statement.
It’s just ignorance.

00:24:28.842 --> 00:24:29.342
Listen.

00:24:29.342 --> 00:24:30.260
You always complaining.

00:24:30.260 --> 00:24:32.762
You’re always marinating over your past.

00:24:32.762 --> 00:24:33.680
Boom. Come on.

00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:34.764
And I have to deal with it.

00:24:34.764 --> 00:24:35.724
I have to deal with it.

00:24:35.724 --> 00:24:38.059
No it’s not that. Stop being a victim.

00:24:38.059 --> 00:24:39.853
Stop. you making me a victim.

00:24:39.853 --> 00:24:41.229
I got my hands down. Go ahead shoot.

00:24:41.229 --> 00:24:42.314
I’m with you,

00:24:42.314 --> 00:24:44.524
I support you, but it’s never good enough.

00:24:44.524 --> 00:24:46.776
Could that be a problem with who you are?

00:24:46.776 --> 00:24:48.153
And how you perceive things?

00:24:48.153 --> 00:24:49.988
Cause now you have the
best thing you’ve ever had

00:24:49.988 --> 00:24:50.947
and it’s still a problem.

00:24:50.947 --> 00:24:53.158
You talk about my
work like it’s shit.

00:24:53.158 --> 00:24:54.576
No I don’t, I tell you…

00:24:54.576 --> 00:24:57.954
You talk about my work,
you talk about it now like it’s shit.

00:24:57.954 --> 00:24:59.956
You act like these
little motherfuckers lives

00:24:59.956 --> 00:25:01.249
around here don’t matter.

00:25:01.249 --> 00:25:03.210
That’s not what I said at all,
that’s what you’re thinking.

00:25:03.210 --> 00:25:04.961
You ain’t got shit positive to say.

00:25:04.961 --> 00:25:06.505
I do have something positive to say.

00:25:06.505 --> 00:25:07.172
What?

00:25:07.172 --> 00:25:09.049
You save, you save the world well.

00:25:09.049 --> 00:25:11.384
You save the world well.

00:25:11.384 --> 00:25:12.469
Yes.

00:25:12.469 --> 00:25:13.637
That’s your passion.

00:25:13.637 --> 00:25:14.846
I don’t know why you married me.

00:25:14.846 --> 00:25:17.641
When we, when we did this house...

00:25:17.641 --> 00:25:19.059
I just said something positive about,

00:25:19.059 --> 00:25:20.018
isn’t that what this is all about?

00:25:20.018 --> 00:25:20.977
Did I build upstairs first?

00:25:20.977 --> 00:25:22.604
I don’t think about my family first?

00:25:22.604 --> 00:25:24.356
You wanted to do it your way.

00:25:24.356 --> 00:25:26.483
I didn’t want to do it this way.

00:25:26.483 --> 00:25:27.567
The way I had it…

00:25:27.567 --> 00:25:28.944
You don’t want to do it God’s way.

00:25:28.944 --> 00:25:30.445
You want to do it Gwen’s way.

00:25:30.445 --> 00:25:31.404
And whenever it’s not Michael’s way…

00:25:31.404 --> 00:25:34.616
You married a husband,
the husband supposed to be the head.

00:25:34.616 --> 00:25:36.368
If the head got a plan from God

00:25:36.368 --> 00:25:37.911
you supposed to follow.

00:25:37.911 --> 00:25:41.831
It’s one man, trying to secure
a whole hood!

00:25:41.831 --> 00:25:43.583
Because the mother

00:25:43.583 --> 00:25:45.001
that loses the kid…

00:25:45.001 --> 00:25:47.754
Go ask that lady motherfucking Mike Brown

00:25:47.754 --> 00:25:49.047
and her fucking husband

00:25:49.047 --> 00:25:52.133
do she wish that her husband would
have probably been trying to do something

00:25:52.133 --> 00:25:55.136
to make the world better
before Mike Brown got killed.

00:25:55.136 --> 00:25:56.721
I can love everybody out there.

00:25:56.721 --> 00:25:58.515
I can show everybody my love.

00:25:58.515 --> 00:26:00.058
But I can’t get along with my wife.

00:26:00.058 --> 00:26:01.268
Kids out here ain’t got nothing!

00:26:01.268 --> 00:26:02.435
I’m pregnant with your fucking baby,

00:26:02.435 --> 00:26:04.229
and you choose to disrespect me.

00:26:04.229 --> 00:26:06.273
Charity starts at home!

00:26:06.273 --> 00:26:07.857
How the fuck am I going to work with that?

00:26:07.857 --> 00:26:09.985
You a sinner just like me Gwen.

00:26:16.575 --> 00:26:18.535
I don’t want nothing to happen to my son

00:26:18.535 --> 00:26:20.829
to make Gwen become the activist

00:26:20.829 --> 00:26:23.164
that I would like her to be.

00:26:23.164 --> 00:26:28.795
But I been around long enough
to see what creates a good activist.

00:26:28.795 --> 00:26:31.256
Pain.

00:27:24.851 --> 00:27:29.856
Papa was a rolling stone.

00:27:29.898 --> 00:27:34.110
Wherever he laid his
jail suit was his home.

00:27:34.110 --> 00:27:35.779
So that’s, that’s what it’s been like.

00:27:35.779 --> 00:27:40.325
I got people who, who I helped out
during the struggle.

00:27:40.325 --> 00:27:42.911
You know, sometimes they’ll
let me stay for a few days.

00:27:42.911 --> 00:27:43.870
So, you know what I mean?

00:27:43.870 --> 00:27:48.041
I just been moving back and forth
until I can get my legs up under me.

00:27:50.377 --> 00:27:52.045
Honestly, it’s really simple man.

00:27:52.045 --> 00:27:53.421
That’s my wife.

00:27:55.131 --> 00:27:58.510
Our last argument,
I heard some of her concerns.

00:27:59.678 --> 00:28:02.013
She got bills and she’s got things and

00:28:02.013 --> 00:28:04.724
she know I ain’t got no money.

00:28:04.724 --> 00:28:06.559
Just sick of hearing you complaining.

00:28:07.936 --> 00:28:09.646
It\'s always a problem,
you know what I mean?

00:28:09.646 --> 00:28:12.148
It just sometimes makes
you back up and say

00:28:13.316 --> 00:28:16.111
wait until I get on my feet but...

00:28:16.111 --> 00:28:20.699
This you know, helping people
don’t pay well, you know?

00:28:20.699 --> 00:28:21.866
It\'s hard to get on your feet.

00:28:21.866 --> 00:28:23.535
Sorry I can’t do that for you.

00:28:23.535 --> 00:28:25.078
Got to keep on swimming.

00:28:25.078 --> 00:28:27.914
Keep on gaining ground fracking
in this cold world.

00:28:27.914 --> 00:28:31.960
It’s not you, it’s the devil
and that’s for sure girl.

00:28:31.960 --> 00:28:34.671
Yeah, so I don’t blame you.

00:28:34.671 --> 00:28:37.882
Not a boy, not a player, I don’t game you.

00:28:42.470 --> 00:28:45.849
Without the protection that
God allows me to provide

00:28:45.849 --> 00:28:47.475
for my family

00:28:47.475 --> 00:28:51.479
I don\'t know what could happen
or what somebody would want to do.

00:28:51.479 --> 00:28:53.148
I don\'t know.

00:28:53.148 --> 00:28:54.441
How\'s it going, how\'s Sir Rahn?

00:28:54.441 --> 00:28:56.443
I don\'t fucking know!

00:28:57.360 --> 00:28:59.404
How does it feel not to know?

00:29:01.030 --> 00:29:05.285
You know the most precious
shit in your life,

00:29:05.285 --> 00:29:08.455
I don\'t know.

00:29:08.455 --> 00:29:10.290
That\'s a fucked up feeling.

00:29:10.290 --> 00:29:14.627
You know? If I focus on it,
I\'m a break the fuck down.

00:29:14.627 --> 00:29:17.589
You know? So,

00:29:17.589 --> 00:29:21.926
maybe I got the appearance that
I don\'t give a fuck when I show up

00:29:21.926 --> 00:29:22.010
maybe I got the appearance that
I don\'t give a fuck when I show up
and I do my thing and all that and

00:29:22.010 --> 00:29:23.595
and I do my thing and all that and

00:29:23.678 --> 00:29:26.139
that\'s because shit I\'ve
been in prison 15 years.

00:29:26.139 --> 00:29:27.223
If I ain\'t learned nothing else

00:29:27.223 --> 00:29:30.059
it\'s how to put a mask on,
how to keep your poker face.

00:29:30.059 --> 00:29:31.060
You know what I\'m saying?

00:29:31.060 --> 00:29:33.480
But they don\'t know about
the pain that lies beneath

00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:35.732
the armor like TD Jakes was talking about.

00:29:35.732 --> 00:29:36.274
You know what I mean?

00:29:36.274 --> 00:29:38.234
Some people get so impressed
with the armor

00:29:38.234 --> 00:29:40.361
they don\'t give a fuck
how I feel personally.

00:29:40.361 --> 00:29:42.489
Oh that\'s the guy that was at love park,

00:29:42.489 --> 00:29:46.117
chained to the park he sleep outside
in the ghetto for 30 days.

00:29:46.117 --> 00:29:48.036
He can take it.

00:29:48.036 --> 00:29:50.163
Maybe I can\'t take it.

00:29:50.163 --> 00:29:52.040
You know, I was walking down the street
the other day

00:29:52.040 --> 00:29:53.124
I couldn\'t stop crying.

00:29:53.124 --> 00:29:56.294
I was profusely sweating
trying to stop myself from

00:29:56.294 --> 00:29:59.047
crying about my family.

00:30:02.091 --> 00:30:03.009
Come here.

00:30:03.009 --> 00:30:07.180
What’s up homie?
Boy you getting heavy, heavy, heavy.

00:30:08.723 --> 00:30:09.599
You staying?

00:30:12.185 --> 00:30:16.731
I don’t know man I got
to go back to work man.

00:30:16.731 --> 00:30:19.108
Maybe you could come
with me sometime, alright?

00:30:19.108 --> 00:30:20.068
Mmm Hmm.

00:30:20.068 --> 00:30:21.277
I’ll give you my phone number man.

00:30:21.277 --> 00:30:23.238
Just take your time though, alright?

00:30:23.238 --> 00:30:25.198
But do you have a phone?

00:30:25.198 --> 00:30:26.825
Yes. I have a phone.

00:30:26.825 --> 00:30:28.201
You know for all these years

00:30:28.201 --> 00:30:30.203
he’s been sure that his dad is with him,

00:30:30.203 --> 00:30:31.663
sure that I’m in his corner.

00:30:31.704 --> 00:30:33.164
You know, sure that, you know what I mean,

00:30:33.164 --> 00:30:35.291
that he could always lean on me
no matter what happened.

00:30:35.291 --> 00:30:39.420
And now, I ain’t so sure.

00:30:45.510 --> 00:30:49.681
82 percent of the people in prison
don\'t have fathers in their lives.

00:30:49.681 --> 00:30:52.809
For us to be in this business,
how could you know them statistics

00:30:52.809 --> 00:30:56.729
and rob our son of that shit?

00:30:58.898 --> 00:31:01.234
And if I stay here too long
it\'s going to fuck with me

00:31:01.234 --> 00:31:03.736
and I\'m not going to be able
to do my job well out there

00:31:03.736 --> 00:31:08.074
that will lead to my success
to be able to really take care of him

00:31:08.074 --> 00:31:10.368
the way I want to take care of him
and take care of my wife.

00:31:10.368 --> 00:31:13.580
So I got to stay focused man.

00:31:13.580 --> 00:31:17.292
I can\'t let that shit bother me.

00:31:17.292 --> 00:31:20.378
Can’t.

00:31:28.344 --> 00:31:30.138
Excuse me.

00:31:31.890 --> 00:31:35.310
Where’s your...
Do you have your socks on from school?

00:31:43.610 --> 00:31:44.235
Dad!

00:31:44.235 --> 00:31:45.778
What’s up homie?

00:31:45.778 --> 00:31:46.696
Huh?

00:31:46.696 --> 00:31:48.239
I said, what’s up homie?

00:31:48.239 --> 00:31:49.574
Dad don’t you remember that

00:31:49.574 --> 00:31:53.995
grey and orange um, um, football?

00:31:53.995 --> 00:31:55.496
The one that’s on the roof?

00:31:55.496 --> 00:31:57.206
Yeah.

00:31:57.206 --> 00:31:59.292
Those kids got it off the roof.

00:31:59.292 --> 00:31:59.918
Oh yeah?

00:31:59.918 --> 00:32:02.295
Yeah and they was playing
with it and I said that was my,

00:32:02.295 --> 00:32:03.880
that football is mine.

00:32:03.880 --> 00:32:05.256
I mean my cousins.

00:32:05.256 --> 00:32:07.258
And then they said, “No it’s not!

00:32:07.258 --> 00:32:09.385
I said, “Yes it is!”

00:32:09.385 --> 00:32:11.846
Well, maybe in the future, right...

00:32:11.846 --> 00:32:12.847
Ow!

00:32:12.847 --> 00:32:16.184
You could communicate the story,

00:32:16.184 --> 00:32:18.019
so that, so that they won’t,

00:32:18.019 --> 00:32:20.730
you know, so once you provide facts

00:32:20.730 --> 00:32:24.067
people won’t be able to dispute
what you have to say.

00:32:24.067 --> 00:32:25.026
Son.

00:32:25.026 --> 00:32:26.861
Yeah?

00:32:28.905 --> 00:32:30.490
Ah!

00:32:30.490 --> 00:32:31.157
Touchdown.

00:32:31.157 --> 00:32:32.784
I ain’t, I ain’t see it hit the ground.

00:32:32.784 --> 00:32:34.661
I’m the referee.

00:32:36.162 --> 00:32:38.247
My dad is real nice.

00:32:39.123 --> 00:32:42.126
Real, real active

00:32:43.336 --> 00:32:46.214
and and he’s a real man to me.

00:32:47.298 --> 00:32:50.426
He’s just like the only man
that looks out for me, the only one.

00:32:50.426 --> 00:32:51.928
The only man that plays with me.

00:32:51.928 --> 00:32:56.891
And that makes me feel like a cool guy.

00:32:56.891 --> 00:33:02.480
The way I feel about my dad is,

00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:04.607
he is, um,

00:33:04.607 --> 00:33:08.236
he’s like my, my savior.

00:33:19.038 --> 00:33:20.999
One day we’ll be able to really talk.

00:33:20.999 --> 00:33:22.458
It’s always one day.

00:33:22.458 --> 00:33:25.253
But, I didn’t come here to fight with you.

00:33:25.253 --> 00:33:26.713
I’m not fighting. I’m just saying.

00:33:26.713 --> 00:33:29.298
I’m agreeing it’s always one day.
You usually say that.

00:33:29.298 --> 00:33:30.258
I’m not going to give my opinion.

00:33:30.258 --> 00:33:31.926
It’s not about your opinion,
I’m quoting you.

00:33:31.926 --> 00:33:34.137
You say one day.
One day you going to have this.

00:33:34.137 --> 00:33:35.513
One day it’s going to be that.

00:33:35.513 --> 00:33:36.806
Yeah it comes with maturity.

00:33:36.806 --> 00:33:38.850
OK fine. One day it will. I guess.

00:33:38.850 --> 00:33:40.518
If I’m around that long.

00:33:40.518 --> 00:33:42.645
Or if you are around that long.

00:33:42.645 --> 00:33:44.105
One day.

00:33:44.105 --> 00:33:45.481
Tomorrow is not promised.

00:33:45.481 --> 00:33:48.401
You have to live for today.

00:33:48.401 --> 00:33:49.986
I understand.

00:33:49.986 --> 00:33:52.030
I fell in love with MIke
because of his heart.

00:33:52.030 --> 00:33:53.906
Yes, that’s the word of God.

00:33:53.906 --> 00:33:56.284
And they say you hurt the one
that’s closest to you.

00:33:56.284 --> 00:33:57.952
So I do deal with a lot.

00:33:57.952 --> 00:34:00.371
I deal with a lot.

00:34:00.371 --> 00:34:02.749
I know he has a heart for people.

00:34:02.749 --> 00:34:06.502
I just think it needs to be
redefined to him as an adult

00:34:06.502 --> 00:34:09.338
what love could and really is,

00:34:09.338 --> 00:34:12.383
and what love is in spite of.

00:34:12.383 --> 00:34:14.635
Um,

00:34:14.635 --> 00:34:18.097
because it is almost like
his norm for love is

00:34:18.097 --> 00:34:21.559
taking it back or abandonment.

00:34:21.559 --> 00:34:23.269
These people that quote unquote
say that they love him

00:34:23.269 --> 00:34:24.187
that\'s what they\'re going to do

00:34:24.187 --> 00:34:26.981
he almost has it set out,

00:34:26.981 --> 00:34:29.442
I\'m just going to do what I
need to do and just take it for granted

00:34:29.442 --> 00:34:30.693
and not have any expectations.

00:34:30.693 --> 00:34:32.570
They\'re going to hurt me.

00:34:32.570 --> 00:34:35.364
But love hopes in all things.

00:34:35.364 --> 00:34:37.700
Love believes in all things.

00:34:37.700 --> 00:34:41.662
Um, we all need healing

00:34:41.662 --> 00:34:45.416
but I think his most important thing is

00:34:45.416 --> 00:34:49.378
not allowing somebody to have
to go through what he went through

00:34:49.378 --> 00:34:53.674
and I think that’s noble.

00:35:21.494 --> 00:35:23.287
I wish I didn’t have to stay away

00:35:23.287 --> 00:35:25.331
from the people that really love me.

00:35:30.837 --> 00:35:34.132
But fighting hate with love
as you can see by my personal life

00:35:34.132 --> 00:35:37.176
is hard as a motherfucker.

00:36:30.062 --> 00:36:34.442
I want to apologize
to my wife and my son.

00:36:42.700 --> 00:36:47.330
I put a mirrors in the
downstairs of my house,

00:36:47.330 --> 00:36:53.211
so sometimes when I spaz out
I get to see myself and what I look like.

00:36:53.211 --> 00:36:55.588
And this...

00:36:55.588 --> 00:36:59.383
look like a demon in the mirror to myself.

00:37:00.092 --> 00:37:01.719
And,

00:37:01.719 --> 00:37:03.429
I think, I think, that

00:37:03.429 --> 00:37:07.558
the spiritual side of post traumatic
prison syndrome is that

00:37:07.558 --> 00:37:10.603
you around killers and liars
and rapists and murders

00:37:10.603 --> 00:37:12.146
naturally and then in the spirit

00:37:12.146 --> 00:37:13.898
you got loneliness, bitterness, hate.

00:37:13.898 --> 00:37:15.691
The invisible prisoners.

00:37:15.691 --> 00:37:18.027
And you surrounded by them
for years and you come out

00:37:18.027 --> 00:37:22.365
and maybe some of those things
come out with you, you know?

00:37:23.157 --> 00:37:26.744
You know it’s a fight within myself man.

00:37:26.744 --> 00:37:29.080
I’m mad at the world.

00:37:29.080 --> 00:37:31.707
You know I’m mad at what happened to me

00:37:31.707 --> 00:37:33.292
mad at how people left me in there

00:37:33.292 --> 00:37:35.211
mad at how they treated me
when I was in there,

00:37:35.211 --> 00:37:39.757
I got all these demons.

00:37:49.558 --> 00:37:50.851
The system is working for the people

00:37:50.851 --> 00:37:52.728
that it was always meant to work for.

00:37:52.728 --> 00:37:54.522
Black lives matter!

00:37:54.522 --> 00:37:56.816
But that’s not how this story ends.

00:37:57.400 --> 00:37:59.485
The people that you see
back here in Ferguson,

00:37:59.485 --> 00:38:02.571
that’s been protesting
for 127 days straight,

00:38:02.571 --> 00:38:04.490
won’t let this story end.

00:38:04.490 --> 00:38:06.575
The protesters in New York,

00:38:06.575 --> 00:38:08.327
who scream I can’t breathe,

00:38:08.327 --> 00:38:09.829
won’t let this story end.

00:38:09.829 --> 00:38:13.374
And we’re here in DC by the thousands,

00:38:13.374 --> 00:38:17.420
to say that this is
not how this story ends.

00:38:17.420 --> 00:38:19.463
Hey! All lives matter!

00:38:19.463 --> 00:38:21.841
Hey! All lives matter!

00:38:21.841 --> 00:38:23.801
All lives matter!

00:38:23.801 --> 00:38:25.803
All lives matter!

00:38:25.803 --> 00:38:27.680
All lives matter!

00:38:27.680 --> 00:38:30.558
Officer supposed to serve and protect me.

00:38:30.558 --> 00:38:33.936
But every time we talk
you blatant disrespect me.

00:38:33.936 --> 00:38:36.897
And you supposed to be
the person to correct me.

00:38:36.897 --> 00:38:38.065
My name ain’t Keith,

00:38:38.065 --> 00:38:40.776
so would you please
stop sweatin’ me?

00:38:40.776 --> 00:38:43.738
Wasting taxpayers money arresting me.

00:38:43.738 --> 00:38:44.780
For nothing.

00:38:44.780 --> 00:38:47.033
While the murderer is up the street

00:38:47.033 --> 00:38:49.994
and I ain’t shoot the sheriff,
or the deputy,

00:38:49.994 --> 00:38:52.872
but you run past the one
who did to get to me.

00:38:52.872 --> 00:38:55.708
Cause we ain’t fight
this hard to be free men.

00:38:55.708 --> 00:38:58.586
To give it all up
to our policemen.

00:38:58.586 --> 00:39:00.254
Thank you, thank you brother.

00:39:00.254 --> 00:39:02.214
You alright?

00:39:03.007 --> 00:39:04.300
Oh we here to fight baby.

00:39:04.300 --> 00:39:05.926
We gonna break every chain.

00:39:05.926 --> 00:39:08.888
Thank you so much brother. Thank you.

00:39:08.888 --> 00:39:10.431
Thank you.

00:39:41.253 --> 00:39:42.546
Where I what?

00:40:23.421 --> 00:40:25.506
Well, how you been doing?
How’s it feel to

00:40:25.506 --> 00:40:27.216
have your dad back at the home.

00:40:27.216 --> 00:40:28.592
Good.

00:40:28.592 --> 00:40:31.262
He came home and
then what happened?

00:40:31.262 --> 00:40:34.473
Said sorry to my mom.

00:40:34.473 --> 00:40:35.891
And then?

00:40:35.891 --> 00:40:38.727
Then he stayed back.

00:40:38.727 --> 00:40:39.478
He what?

00:40:39.478 --> 00:40:40.646
Then he stayed.

00:40:40.646 --> 00:40:42.565
And then what?

00:40:42.565 --> 00:40:44.191
Then we had a lot of fun.

00:40:44.191 --> 00:40:45.651
Goodbye.

00:40:50.322 --> 00:40:54.243
I’m glad that I’m back in my wife’s life.

00:40:56.871 --> 00:40:58.706
You got to take care of home first,

00:40:58.706 --> 00:41:00.374
before you take care of everybody else.

00:41:00.374 --> 00:41:02.209
God is grace, God is good

00:41:02.209 --> 00:41:03.627
and we thank him for our food,

00:41:03.627 --> 00:41:06.088
in the name of Jesus, Amen.

00:41:08.632 --> 00:41:12.845
How come you can’t wait
for everybody else to eat?

00:41:12.845 --> 00:41:14.805
I already said my grace.

00:41:14.805 --> 00:41:16.056
So what?

00:41:16.056 --> 00:41:19.518
How come you can’t wait
for everyone else to eat?

00:41:19.518 --> 00:41:22.813
The man did put his hands up.
They shot him already.

00:41:22.813 --> 00:41:24.356
But we know what
happened to him.

00:41:24.356 --> 00:41:26.358
Who?

00:41:26.358 --> 00:41:28.360
A brother named Michael Brown.

00:41:29.195 --> 00:41:32.031
In Philadelphia hands up
mean fight back

00:41:32.031 --> 00:41:35.993
but we fight hate with love
and that’s our final message.

00:41:37.036 --> 00:41:38.913
You gonna have a little sister?

00:41:38.913 --> 00:41:39.872
Uh huh.

00:41:39.872 --> 00:41:40.831
Tell me about that.

00:41:40.831 --> 00:41:45.252
My mom is picking her name for her

00:41:45.252 --> 00:41:50.424
and we already decided
and it’s Wisdom.

00:41:53.302 --> 00:41:56.263
What are you going to do
with your little sister?

00:41:56.263 --> 00:41:59.850
Change her diaper.

00:42:01.185 --> 00:42:06.482
She’s coming!
Full head of hair is coming!

00:42:06.482 --> 00:42:07.691
Oh my god!

00:42:07.691 --> 00:42:09.527
She can’t, she can’t stop.

00:42:09.527 --> 00:42:11.654
That baby coming honey.

00:42:13.948 --> 00:42:16.283
I can’t! I can’t!

00:42:16.283 --> 00:42:18.619
She here! She here, honey!

00:42:20.329 --> 00:42:22.164
She’s here. She did it! You did it! You did it!

00:42:22.164 --> 00:42:23.707
Take it out! Take it out! Take it out!

00:42:23.707 --> 00:42:26.502
Look at little Gwenie!

00:42:26.502 --> 00:42:31.090
You did it babe! You did it!
You did it girl!

00:42:31.090 --> 00:42:33.759
Hey you.

00:42:35.553 --> 00:42:42.434
I see love.

00:42:42.434 --> 00:42:48.524
Hey you girl.

00:42:50.192 --> 00:42:54.321
Showing me love.

00:42:54.321 --> 00:42:56.240
Your brother taught me that.

00:42:56.240 --> 00:42:58.659
Your brother taught me that.

00:42:58.659 --> 00:43:03.622
Uh huh, your brother taught me that.

00:43:03.622 --> 00:43:06.375
Wait wait man. I’m messing
up the camera, I’m sorry

00:43:06.375 --> 00:43:09.628
I didn’t mean to mess up the camera diva!

00:43:09.628 --> 00:43:13.799
I won’t never take the
wrong picture again.

00:43:57.509 --> 00:43:59.136
I ain’t going to jail no more.

00:43:59.136 --> 00:44:00.554
I’m going to be here the whole time.

00:44:00.554 --> 00:44:04.308
I might got some issues,
but I ain’t got no miss you’s,

00:44:04.308 --> 00:44:07.978
because I’m right here this time baby.

00:44:07.978 --> 00:44:10.064
See.

00:44:10.064 --> 00:44:13.525
I went straight to the penitentiary
and didn’t pass go.

00:44:13.525 --> 00:44:16.195
I’m really hoping,
I make parole even though

00:44:16.195 --> 00:44:18.822
it’s prison on these streets
I hope these peeps let me go.

00:44:18.822 --> 00:44:21.617
Let me show my mothers,
fathers, sisters and my brothers,

00:44:21.617 --> 00:44:24.078
the great thing inside the
King God discovered.

00:44:24.078 --> 00:44:26.789
A man’s character ain’t
judged by how he fall.

00:44:26.789 --> 00:44:30.459
It’s how he get back up
and that’s a G-LAW.

00:44:30.459 --> 00:44:32.878
This is my wife.

00:44:32.878 --> 00:44:35.589
And this is what it sounds like
from the voice of a woman

00:44:35.589 --> 00:44:38.175
who has to deal with a husband in prison.

00:44:38.175 --> 00:44:40.594
Break every chain.

00:44:40.594 --> 00:44:49.395
There’s an army rising up,

00:44:49.395 --> 00:44:55.818
there’s an army rising up,

00:44:55.818 --> 00:44:58.862
to break every chain.

00:44:58.862 --> 00:45:02.825
Break every chain.

00:45:02.825 --> 00:45:10.374
Break every chain.

00:45:13.669 --> 00:45:18.215
My name is OG LAW,
that’s momma GLAW,

00:45:18.215 --> 00:45:20.134
that’s lower case GLAW

00:45:20.134 --> 00:45:23.721
and this is little Wisdom Epiphany Tabon.

00:45:23.721 --> 00:45:27.015
And we plan on taking
this movement from right here

00:45:27.015 --> 00:45:30.185
to Selma, Alabama not

00:45:30.185 --> 00:45:34.982
so that we can keep
King’s dream alive.

00:45:34.982 --> 00:45:40.112
Nothing comes to a dreamer,
but dreams.

00:45:40.112 --> 00:45:43.657
So when do we come together,

00:45:43.657 --> 00:45:48.036
and make Doctor King’s dream a reality?

00:45:48.036 --> 00:45:52.791
And take it from Philadelphia,
the birthplace of America,

00:45:52.791 --> 00:45:58.130
to Selma, Alabama, where the
civil rights movement was created.

00:45:58.130 --> 00:46:01.633
It’s time to make the dream real.
Thank you.

00:46:15.397 --> 00:46:18.776
I guess I could say that
I’m consumed by this project.

00:46:18.776 --> 00:46:22.821
This ain\'t just for the good people, this
for the real soldiers that’s out there

00:46:22.821 --> 00:46:24.281
to get them a wakeup call.

00:46:24.281 --> 00:46:27.868
So I need them to see certain
things is authentic about it.

00:46:27.868 --> 00:46:33.373
My technique is to give
them a mental picture

00:46:33.373 --> 00:46:34.416
right here in front of you.

00:46:34.416 --> 00:46:37.961
Here go your opportunity to go to prison

00:46:37.961 --> 00:46:42.132
without suffering the consequences
and putting your family through that hell.

00:46:46.512 --> 00:46:47.221
Right now

00:46:47.221 --> 00:46:50.098
it’s just the framework
I’ve got the skeleton down.

00:46:50.098 --> 00:46:52.476
It’s not alive.

00:46:54.603 --> 00:46:56.313
I don’t have the generator yet.

00:46:56.313 --> 00:46:57.815
That’s the heart.

00:46:57.815 --> 00:47:00.859
I need to put the veins in it,
that’s the wires.

00:47:00.859 --> 00:47:03.237
I need to put the skin on it,
that’s the paint.

00:47:05.113 --> 00:47:09.701
All this stuff got to happen
before I leave for Selma.

00:47:12.454 --> 00:47:14.540
Pay attention son.

00:47:16.917 --> 00:47:18.919
Obama going to be in Selma.

00:47:18.919 --> 00:47:21.839
Department of Justice
going to be in Selma.

00:47:21.839 --> 00:47:23.632
Black Clergy going to be in Selma.

00:47:23.632 --> 00:47:26.260
Ku Klux Klan going
to be in Selma.

00:47:26.260 --> 00:47:29.555
Every chess piece going to be in Selma.

00:47:30.430 --> 00:47:32.599
I need the people to see that

00:47:32.599 --> 00:47:35.185
if Sir Rahn’s world ain’t right,

00:47:35.185 --> 00:47:39.982
that a real father would get out
in the world and make it right.

00:47:41.400 --> 00:47:44.695
That’s why I’m taking Sir Rahn to Selma.

00:47:44.695 --> 00:47:47.531
Forget what all the people
are whispering in your ear son,

00:47:47.531 --> 00:47:50.200
let me show you what your daddy do!

00:48:11.763 --> 00:48:14.558
Burger King.

00:48:14.558 --> 00:48:17.227
The Burger King is in a good mood today.

00:48:17.227 --> 00:48:20.188
Free burgers for everybody on Burger King.

00:48:20.188 --> 00:48:22.149
I’m the king, right?

00:48:22.149 --> 00:48:26.278
I want everybody in here
to have free burgers.

00:48:26.278 --> 00:48:28.572
Am I really a king?

00:48:28.572 --> 00:48:29.907
I don’t know sir.

00:48:30.991 --> 00:48:32.117
OK.

00:48:36.538 --> 00:48:39.333
I don’t know man can
you try it burger prince?

00:48:39.333 --> 00:48:41.209
See if you can get
everybody free burgers.

00:48:41.209 --> 00:48:44.212
Test your power in your kingdom.

00:48:48.133 --> 00:48:50.469
OK, OK, OK.

00:49:19.581 --> 00:49:22.668
Pump. Pump. Pump and jab. Come on!

00:49:22.668 --> 00:49:27.547
My son, he don’t know who
he is his self, and that’s so humble.

00:49:27.547 --> 00:49:29.299
And sweet.

00:49:30.717 --> 00:49:33.095
But because of that he vulnerable.

00:49:39.977 --> 00:49:42.980
So with this trip I’m going
to teach him how to be a leader.

00:49:53.448 --> 00:49:55.701
What you trying to put the trailer in
somewhere you can work?

00:49:55.701 --> 00:49:56.243
Yeah.

00:49:56.243 --> 00:49:57.703
OK, now what you going to have to do

00:49:57.703 --> 00:50:00.747
is you going to have to head
towards that car and swing out

00:50:00.747 --> 00:50:03.875
so you can throw the trailer
in that, in that, in my paint room.

00:50:03.875 --> 00:50:05.377
There you go come on. Come on.

00:50:05.377 --> 00:50:06.545
Come on.

00:50:06.545 --> 00:50:08.255
Come on.

00:50:09.172 --> 00:50:10.173
You good.

00:50:22.185 --> 00:50:24.104
Do me a favor son.

00:50:24.104 --> 00:50:27.858
Go over there and help him hold that beam.

00:50:34.239 --> 00:50:35.282
Good job son.

00:50:35.282 --> 00:50:38.201
That’s what I’m talking about.

00:50:58.055 --> 00:51:00.599
Alright. Let’s go.

00:51:00.599 --> 00:51:02.309
Let’s go dude!

00:51:04.478 --> 00:51:06.480
Oh! I didn’t see you there.

00:51:06.480 --> 00:51:12.444
And welcome to checking plants
out with Sir Rahn.

00:51:12.444 --> 00:51:13.195
Light ‘em up boys.

00:51:13.195 --> 00:51:14.196
I think I got something.

00:51:14.196 --> 00:51:16.573
Look guys, these are potatoes.

00:51:16.573 --> 00:51:17.949
Yes! A eggplant!

00:51:17.949 --> 00:51:19.451
I don’t know what the heck this is called.

00:51:19.451 --> 00:51:20.285
Burnt sprout.

00:51:20.285 --> 00:51:21.828
Two apples.

00:51:21.828 --> 00:51:23.997
Oh yeah look at the smell of that.

00:51:23.997 --> 00:51:26.792
We eat these people, we eat them!

00:51:26.792 --> 00:51:29.044
And it’s called dirt if you don’t know.

00:51:29.044 --> 00:51:31.129
I just know because I watch
the nature channel a lot.

00:51:31.129 --> 00:51:32.380
You can’t eat this,

00:51:32.380 --> 00:51:33.340
you can’t eat this,

00:51:33.340 --> 00:51:34.216
don’t eat this either.

00:51:34.216 --> 00:51:35.634
Especially for you girls.

00:51:35.634 --> 00:51:37.010
Especially girls.

00:51:37.010 --> 00:51:44.601
Catch you next time after these,
after these messages.

00:51:46.728 --> 00:51:48.563
Cut it.

00:51:48.563 --> 00:51:51.733
But I’m not concerned about that now.

00:51:51.733 --> 00:51:54.277
I just want to do God\'s will.

00:51:55.821 --> 00:51:59.116
And he\'s allowed me
to go up to the mountain.

00:51:59.116 --> 00:52:01.993
And I\'ve looked over.

00:52:01.993 --> 00:52:07.165
And I\'ve seen the Promised Land.

00:52:07.165 --> 00:52:09.668
I may not get there with you.

00:52:09.668 --> 00:52:12.796
But I want you to know tonight,

00:52:12.796 --> 00:52:18.093
that we, as a people,
will get to the Promised Land!

00:52:20.303 --> 00:52:22.347
Just like how you doing with your son,

00:52:22.347 --> 00:52:23.890
I took my son on the road.

00:52:23.890 --> 00:52:26.309
And he had a stripey
prison suit on just like me.

00:52:26.309 --> 00:52:27.602
We was in Washington DC.

00:52:27.602 --> 00:52:29.396
Ya.

00:52:29.396 --> 00:52:30.355
You know what I’m saying?

00:52:30.355 --> 00:52:31.773
So when I see you and him,

00:52:31.773 --> 00:52:37.112
I see me and him doing the same thing.

00:52:44.536 --> 00:52:48.707
Come on sun face.

00:52:48.707 --> 00:52:50.625
Sunshine.

00:52:50.625 --> 00:52:53.879
You up?

00:52:55.463 --> 00:52:56.840
I got you, go ahead.

00:52:56.840 --> 00:52:57.632
Go ahead.

00:52:57.632 --> 00:52:59.217
Keep going I got ya.

00:53:00.427 --> 00:53:02.053
There ya go.

00:53:04.472 --> 00:53:05.932
You ok?

00:53:07.767 --> 00:53:09.603
Love you son.

00:53:09.603 --> 00:53:11.396
Huh?

00:53:11.897 --> 00:53:14.816
Love you boy.

00:53:14.816 --> 00:53:16.151
Love you boy.

00:53:16.151 --> 00:53:18.778
Love you too.

00:53:20.780 --> 00:53:23.325
For the benefit of Sir Rahn.

00:53:23.325 --> 00:53:28.330
All the games, and all the play,
and all that other stuff,

00:53:28.371 --> 00:53:31.124
I have to cease that.

00:53:33.460 --> 00:53:36.922
It ain’t meanness, it’s discipline.

00:53:38.465 --> 00:53:41.051
I’m doing it out of love.

00:53:45.222 --> 00:53:49.559
He got to be able to have a cop
in his face and be like,

00:53:49.559 --> 00:53:51.895
“Shut the fuck up self.

00:53:51.895 --> 00:53:57.901
I don’t want to make my father
like Trayvon Martin’s father.”

00:53:57.901 --> 00:54:00.612
I’m raising him to navigate
the terrain that is now.

00:54:00.612 --> 00:54:02.155
Not the way I wish it could be.

00:54:02.155 --> 00:54:04.866
It’s not the way I wish it could be,

00:54:04.866 --> 00:54:07.702
they’ll kill you now.

00:54:10.705 --> 00:54:13.625
I got to keep him alive.

00:54:13.625 --> 00:54:17.587
It’s my job to make him into a man.

00:54:37.649 --> 00:54:41.194
I want to go back home.

00:54:48.576 --> 00:54:50.620
Daddy!

00:54:56.084 --> 00:54:57.210
Now listen.

00:54:57.210 --> 00:54:58.962
Do you really want to help mommy?

00:54:58.962 --> 00:55:00.880
So mommy doesn’t have to work as hard.

00:55:00.880 --> 00:55:04.217
So mommy can have nice things

00:55:04.217 --> 00:55:07.971
and continue to take care of you
and dress you up.

00:55:07.971 --> 00:55:09.431
You a young man now.

00:55:09.431 --> 00:55:12.183
It’s my job to teach you how to be a man.

00:55:12.183 --> 00:55:13.727
So if you miss mommy,

00:55:13.727 --> 00:55:15.603
then let\'s do the work that we have to do

00:55:15.603 --> 00:55:18.523
to be able to get back to mommy faster,

00:55:18.523 --> 00:55:21.985
plus when we get back to mommy

00:55:21.985 --> 00:55:24.237
we’ll have something to bring back to her

00:55:24.237 --> 00:55:26.531
that she can be proud of.

00:55:26.531 --> 00:55:27.490
OK?

00:55:45.884 --> 00:55:48.845
You have to start to
consider others my son.

00:55:48.845 --> 00:55:51.014
It ain’t that I, I let you play.

00:55:51.014 --> 00:55:53.099
But look when it come down
to something serious

00:55:53.099 --> 00:55:56.102
just put the game down for a second

00:55:56.102 --> 00:55:57.437
get yourself together

00:55:57.437 --> 00:55:58.605
and then go back to your game

00:55:58.605 --> 00:56:01.066
and I can respect that.

00:56:01.066 --> 00:56:03.068
But when you put your
game over your people

00:56:03.068 --> 00:56:04.819
I got a problem with that.

00:56:04.819 --> 00:56:06.279
Ok?

00:56:06.279 --> 00:56:06.988
Thank you.

00:56:07.614 --> 00:56:11.034
By the time I finish building
this empire of the lord,

00:56:11.034 --> 00:56:12.494
and you the prince of it,

00:56:12.494 --> 00:56:15.997
if you worthy to take
hold of the reigns, if you,

00:56:15.997 --> 00:56:18.708
if you break out of the habits
that some people taught you

00:56:18.708 --> 00:56:21.127
and, and you show care and concern

00:56:21.127 --> 00:56:25.048
for, for, for the stuff that we have
and the things that we are doing,

00:56:25.048 --> 00:56:27.092
I will put you in charge of everything

00:56:27.092 --> 00:56:29.302
because I’m becoming an old man.

00:56:30.929 --> 00:56:34.557
I’m trying to set you up
with a better life than me man.

00:56:34.557 --> 00:56:36.810
I’m trying to have you
with the proper character

00:56:36.810 --> 00:56:39.020
that people won’t want to
take advantage of you man.

00:56:39.020 --> 00:56:41.564
Not no sucker weak character

00:56:41.564 --> 00:56:43.775
that people will want to
abuse you and use you

00:56:43.775 --> 00:56:46.820
and mistreat you because
they feel like you a weakling.

00:56:46.820 --> 00:56:49.280
And they looking for a kink in your armor.

00:56:49.280 --> 00:56:50.824
I’m trying to protect you from that.

00:56:50.824 --> 00:56:52.659
I’m a grown man son.

00:56:52.659 --> 00:56:55.078
I’m not a kid.

00:57:02.710 --> 00:57:04.421
I’m going to follow him and see.

00:57:04.421 --> 00:57:06.840
And get to shoot you off his property

00:57:06.840 --> 00:57:08.842
and beat the case.

00:57:08.842 --> 00:57:10.593
I don’t want to be Trayvon Martin.

00:57:10.593 --> 00:57:12.762
I met that man! I love him and respect him

00:57:12.762 --> 00:57:15.932
but I don’t want to become
an activist because you got hurt.

00:57:15.932 --> 00:57:18.893
Because you a fool.

00:57:18.893 --> 00:57:20.562
So I’m going to teach you to be sharp

00:57:20.562 --> 00:57:22.188
and intense and on point.

00:57:22.188 --> 00:57:26.317
Because daddy still alive while
some of these other...I’m out here.

00:57:26.317 --> 00:57:28.570
Ninety percent of my
friends who ain’t like me

00:57:28.570 --> 00:57:32.157
went back to jail while they telling me
I should be like them.

00:57:34.951 --> 00:57:37.036
This is real brother.

00:57:37.036 --> 00:57:39.497
This is the movement.

00:57:45.295 --> 00:57:48.006
OK, we here to be a part of the parade.

00:57:48.006 --> 00:57:49.924
Where would you tell me to go?

00:57:49.924 --> 00:57:52.260
Go up to Alabama Avenue and take a right.

00:57:52.260 --> 00:57:53.720
And start looking for...

00:57:54.554 --> 00:57:55.472
Watch yourself.

00:57:55.472 --> 00:57:56.931
Hey sweetheart!

00:57:56.931 --> 00:57:58.683
Hey lady!

00:58:02.604 --> 00:58:05.023
As we inching out to get into the march,

00:58:07.817 --> 00:58:10.528
we didn’t have our paperwork,
we didn’t have our number,

00:58:10.528 --> 00:58:12.739
we was out of place.

00:58:14.282 --> 00:58:17.952
The fuse broke, we didn’t have sound.

00:58:17.952 --> 00:58:19.871
Things could go haywire.

00:58:19.871 --> 00:58:21.289
Why would you do that?

00:58:21.289 --> 00:58:22.373
Where your clean clothes at?

00:58:22.373 --> 00:58:25.460
At the hotel,
why would you wear dirty clothes?

00:58:25.460 --> 00:58:28.004
What do you think I paid
for a hotel for son?

00:58:29.422 --> 00:58:30.006
What’s wrong?

00:58:30.006 --> 00:58:34.052
When did your mother ever tell
you to leave out looking dirty?

00:58:37.680 --> 00:58:39.641
Foolish boy.

00:58:39.641 --> 00:58:43.311
He didn’t realize what he was doing
and it was frustrating.

00:58:43.311 --> 00:58:45.605
He had messed his shirt up,
do something, played with,

00:58:45.605 --> 00:58:48.399
“can I go over here and do this and that”,

00:58:48.399 --> 00:58:50.985
listen brother, this thing is serious
you saving lives here

00:58:50.985 --> 00:58:52.070
and I’m serious about it

00:58:52.070 --> 00:58:55.114
but he was just a kid he didn’t
realize nothing,

00:58:55.114 --> 00:58:56.241
he was oblivious.

00:58:56.241 --> 00:58:57.575
They think I ain’t a good father,

00:58:57.575 --> 00:59:00.745
they already talking about it
because I wear a jail suit.

00:59:00.745 --> 00:59:01.621
Come on son.

00:59:04.082 --> 00:59:09.045
So, we had complications
all the way to the curb.

00:59:09.045 --> 00:59:12.549
But as soon as it came down
to make that left turn,

00:59:12.549 --> 00:59:13.550
everything was working.

00:59:13.550 --> 00:59:15.301
This is the education,

00:59:15.301 --> 00:59:18.888
over incarceration movement.

00:59:18.888 --> 00:59:21.140
This is the youngest rapper alive.

00:59:21.140 --> 00:59:26.396
Since 4 years old, he led marches,
over 250,000 people,

00:59:26.396 --> 00:59:28.523
and you going to get to see him perform

00:59:28.898 --> 00:59:29.607
right now.

00:59:29.607 --> 00:59:31.859
Get ‘em son!

00:59:31.859 --> 00:59:33.403
Get ‘em!

00:59:34.237 --> 00:59:36.573
The youngest rapper alive!

00:59:41.244 --> 00:59:41.995
Come on!

00:59:41.995 --> 00:59:44.038
I don’t want to go to jail!

00:59:47.083 --> 00:59:53.131
Jail is for suckers, and we ain’t sweet,
I demand that you educate me!

00:59:53.131 --> 00:59:56.217
For the first time
everything came together.

00:59:57.510 --> 00:59:58.970
Crowd was there,

00:59:58.970 --> 01:00:00.722
people dancing in the street,

01:00:00.722 --> 01:00:02.432
they was loving it.

01:00:03.391 --> 01:00:04.267
White people,

01:00:04.267 --> 01:00:05.268
black people,

01:00:05.268 --> 01:00:06.060
old people,

01:00:06.060 --> 01:00:06.853
young people.

01:00:06.853 --> 01:00:08.855
Everybody got Fight Hate with Love.

01:00:08.855 --> 01:00:11.441
Everybody got Education
over Incarceration.

01:00:11.441 --> 01:00:12.692
It just was proven.

01:00:15.111 --> 01:00:17.488
I was really proud of my son.

01:00:17.488 --> 01:00:21.492
Turning around and working the crowd,
everything was lining up.

01:00:23.661 --> 01:00:26.998
Like the way I finally envisioned it.

01:01:03.368 --> 01:01:07.205
Uncle Sam is your plan
to arrest the whole nation?

01:01:07.205 --> 01:01:10.541
You ain’t going to get my son!

01:01:12.460 --> 01:01:14.087
Thank ya’ll!

01:01:16.964 --> 01:01:19.425
So we doing all good out here
you know what I mean,

01:01:19.425 --> 01:01:22.720
we feeling really positive
because we went through heck,

01:01:22.720 --> 01:01:24.764
no we went through hell
I can’t even say heck.

01:01:24.764 --> 01:01:26.265
We went through hell.

01:01:26.265 --> 01:01:28.518
Ain’t no other way to describe it,
to get there.

01:01:28.518 --> 01:01:30.561
You see me?

01:01:30.561 --> 01:01:33.606
A year in the making
it just all came together

01:01:33.606 --> 01:01:35.942
for a second it looked good
and then…

01:01:39.987 --> 01:01:42.532
It’s Bloody Sunday,
it’s about three in the morning,

01:01:42.532 --> 01:01:44.492
we find our way.

01:01:45.952 --> 01:01:52.542
Brother Wallie say, “Yo bro,
I don’t like the way the car feel.”

01:01:52.542 --> 01:01:55.503
I go down from 70 to 40.

01:01:55.503 --> 01:01:58.589
And as soon as I hit about 40,
the wheel pop off.

01:01:58.589 --> 01:01:59.257
BOOM!

01:02:03.553 --> 01:02:07.181
If we was doing 70,
it would have been over.

01:02:11.018 --> 01:02:13.062
Time to look and see what happened.

01:02:14.439 --> 01:02:16.941
And we a little nervous.

01:02:16.941 --> 01:02:19.986
All 8 lugs, heavy duty,

01:02:19.986 --> 01:02:22.780
is popped off the car.

01:02:22.780 --> 01:02:26.826
And four lugs, was removed.

01:02:28.578 --> 01:02:33.666
The sheriff of Dallas County pull up.

01:02:33.708 --> 01:02:36.461
The police officer says,

01:02:36.461 --> 01:02:39.547
“Who was the last person
touching your car?

01:02:39.547 --> 01:02:42.258
Maybe somebody is following you?

01:02:42.258 --> 01:02:44.886
Maybe they don’t like your message?

01:02:44.886 --> 01:02:48.014
Might be one of your own people.

01:02:48.014 --> 01:02:49.766
You better watch it.”

01:02:52.810 --> 01:02:54.520
When we get back to the spot,

01:02:54.520 --> 01:02:57.106
we walking over these papers

01:02:57.106 --> 01:03:01.986
sitting on the ground right in the
spot where we was parked.

01:03:04.238 --> 01:03:08.159
The KKK wants you.

01:03:16.751 --> 01:03:20.630
Did the Ku Klux Klan try to kill us?

01:03:20.630 --> 01:03:23.841
On the same trail that King walked?

01:03:23.841 --> 01:03:27.136
On Bloody Sunday?

01:03:31.182 --> 01:03:33.309
Heart beating.

01:03:33.309 --> 01:03:35.603
Frustration first.

01:03:35.603 --> 01:03:36.646
Flaming.

01:03:37.396 --> 01:03:39.732
My son was supposed to be in the car.

01:03:39.732 --> 01:03:42.777
And they tried to murder me for it
in Selma, on 80,

01:03:42.777 --> 01:03:44.862
on this road, last night.

01:03:44.862 --> 01:03:49.242
We parted a sea of people.

01:03:49.242 --> 01:03:51.202
At the end of the Pettus Bridge

01:03:51.202 --> 01:03:53.746
there is a state trooper there.

01:03:53.746 --> 01:03:57.041
“Excuse me mam, somebody took our tire off

01:03:57.041 --> 01:04:00.169
and they unscrewed four bolts, look.”

01:04:00.169 --> 01:04:02.463
Somebody tried to kill us yesterday sir.

01:04:02.463 --> 01:04:05.424
That’s how real it is
that I’m going tell you.

01:04:06.717 --> 01:04:08.678
“Yeah. Well move on.”

01:04:12.431 --> 01:04:14.809
I’m fed up now.

01:04:16.978 --> 01:04:22.608
Another police officer stands in front
with the baton.

01:04:23.693 --> 01:04:26.445
Why you standing there
looking at me like that?

01:04:26.445 --> 01:04:28.489
What do you got the stick for?

01:04:28.489 --> 01:04:30.533
What you going to hit me with it?

01:04:30.533 --> 01:04:34.078
“House nigger! Go get your
superior officer,” is what I told him.

01:04:35.079 --> 01:04:37.748
G-LAW. Now go get your superior.

01:04:37.748 --> 01:04:39.750
I motherfucking mean it.

01:04:39.750 --> 01:04:43.045
Motherfucker.

01:04:43.045 --> 01:04:44.797
Now come the fuck off.

01:04:44.797 --> 01:04:45.256
Chill out.

01:04:45.256 --> 01:04:48.926
There is a army rising up
to break every chain.

01:04:48.926 --> 01:04:51.554
You want to kill me and my son?

01:04:51.554 --> 01:04:54.348
Now, where the officer at?

01:04:54.348 --> 01:04:56.893
Do your fucking job nigger.

01:04:58.644 --> 01:05:01.272
Where the fucking officer at?

01:05:01.272 --> 01:05:02.982
Where’s a cop when you need one?

01:05:02.982 --> 01:05:05.526
Can someone tell me why he’s under arrest?

01:05:05.526 --> 01:05:07.737
I get black people out of jail,

01:05:07.737 --> 01:05:09.488
that’s why they wanted to kill me!

01:05:09.488 --> 01:05:11.032
Yo. Yo. Yo.

01:05:11.866 --> 01:05:13.284
Why is he being arrested?

01:05:13.284 --> 01:05:14.285
Can someone tell me?

01:05:14.285 --> 01:05:18.247
Can someone tell me why
he’s being arrested and detained?

01:05:18.247 --> 01:05:22.126
Can somebody tell me why
he’s being arrested and detained?

01:05:22.126 --> 01:05:23.586
Disorderly conduct.

01:05:23.586 --> 01:05:26.130
He didn’t, he wasn’t disorderly.

01:05:26.130 --> 01:05:29.425
He didn’t cause any noise
no louder than the loud speaker.

01:05:29.425 --> 01:05:30.509
Take my son home.

01:05:30.509 --> 01:05:32.261
He was not…I got your son.

01:05:32.261 --> 01:05:33.471
I got you bro.

01:05:33.471 --> 01:05:35.264
He has a child.

01:05:35.264 --> 01:05:36.974
You’re taking him away from his child.

01:05:36.974 --> 01:05:38.517
They tried to kill my motherfucking family

01:05:38.517 --> 01:05:40.603
and they ain’t trying ask me no questions.

01:05:40.603 --> 01:05:42.021
I tried to talk to them!

01:05:42.021 --> 01:05:44.065
Now listen to me. Now listen to me.

01:05:44.065 --> 01:05:46.651
Now listen to me!

01:05:46.651 --> 01:05:48.361
OG! Listen to me!

01:05:48.361 --> 01:05:51.155
Yes sir. Yes sir.

01:05:51.155 --> 01:05:54.825
Shut up!

01:06:13.135 --> 01:06:15.346
God said I will take you places

01:06:15.346 --> 01:06:18.099
that no other man can go with you, none.

01:06:22.353 --> 01:06:27.400
On the 50th Anniversary of the
civil rights movement,

01:06:27.400 --> 01:06:30.945
I’m the only that got
to sit in the exact seat

01:06:30.945 --> 01:06:33.531
that Doctor King sat in.

01:06:39.787 --> 01:06:42.498
So Sir Rahn had to hear about
what his dad was going through

01:06:42.498 --> 01:06:45.459
from other people’s mouth.

01:06:45.459 --> 01:06:48.921
And he’s getting to hear
their opinions about his dad.

01:06:50.589 --> 01:06:56.846
And I think that this trip made
him realize what he was doing.

01:06:58.180 --> 01:07:00.808
I love you man.

01:07:02.810 --> 01:07:05.104
Where my hug at?

01:07:25.791 --> 01:07:28.127
Don’t step on it!

01:07:49.899 --> 01:07:52.485
Education over incarceration!

01:07:52.485 --> 01:07:55.988
Education over incarceration.

01:07:55.988 --> 01:07:58.532
That’s your movement.

01:08:02.495 --> 01:08:04.789
I knew this was going to happen.

01:08:04.789 --> 01:08:07.541
That’s why I didn’t want to come.

01:08:09.210 --> 01:08:12.463
I was worried that we would get hurt.

01:08:12.463 --> 01:08:14.632
When the Klan letter to him was given,

01:08:14.632 --> 01:08:16.801
he was very distressed about that.

01:08:18.344 --> 01:08:21.013
My dad, he said somebody tried to kill us.

01:08:21.013 --> 01:08:22.640
Doctor King had the dream

01:08:22.640 --> 01:08:24.809
but he passed us the torch
to make it a reality

01:08:24.809 --> 01:08:26.811
not just to keep the dream alive.

01:08:27.520 --> 01:08:30.606
And I was really scared when
my dad got locked up.

01:08:34.026 --> 01:08:35.402
I was feeling

01:08:35.402 --> 01:08:35.444
I was feeling
mad, sad and angry.

01:08:35.444 --> 01:08:39.532
mad, sad and angry.

01:08:45.037 --> 01:08:47.081
I really wanted my dad

01:08:48.249 --> 01:08:51.377
not to go to jail again.

01:08:52.586 --> 01:08:54.797
It just snapped to me like

01:08:54.797 --> 01:08:57.842
what if every single family
member of mine,

01:08:57.842 --> 01:09:03.472
I mean every single,
even my baby sister went to jail.

01:09:05.474 --> 01:09:09.728
I would be really cry
if my baby sister went to jail.

01:09:15.359 --> 01:09:21.699
It’s just not, you know, right.

01:10:02.448 --> 01:10:05.743
Ow! Get off my face, get off my face,
get off my face

01:10:05.743 --> 01:10:08.662
we talked about this, get off my face!

01:10:08.662 --> 01:10:12.041
Uh! Uh! Uh! Uh!

01:10:12.041 --> 01:10:15.169
I guess he saw his father
in a different light.

01:10:15.169 --> 01:10:21.550
Someone that is supported
and now it all makes sense.

01:10:21.550 --> 01:10:24.094
I can’t do it.

01:10:24.094 --> 01:10:25.930
It did mature him.

01:10:25.930 --> 01:10:28.224
I could tell when he came back home.

01:10:28.224 --> 01:10:29.558
He was so happy to be back home,

01:10:29.558 --> 01:10:31.560
but he was so much more

01:10:31.560 --> 01:10:32.728
mature.

01:10:32.728 --> 01:10:40.819
It was more so, “Yes mams”
and “No mams” or “No sirs”.

01:10:40.819 --> 01:10:42.696
He grew up,

01:10:42.696 --> 01:10:45.449
because my son is very playful.

01:10:45.449 --> 01:10:49.078
And it was it was a sense of

01:10:49.078 --> 01:10:51.914
not taking certain things for granted.

01:10:51.914 --> 01:10:53.958
You know, that was a struggle for him.

01:10:53.958 --> 01:10:56.252
He realized that his life was in jeopardy,

01:10:56.252 --> 01:10:57.795
even if he didn’t know it personally,

01:10:57.795 --> 01:11:02.925
he knew it by his father
speaking of it and reacting on it.

01:11:02.925 --> 01:11:05.719
So it took him to a different level.

01:11:05.719 --> 01:11:08.764
My husband says it best,

01:11:08.764 --> 01:11:12.434
“What makes the greatest activist?

01:11:12.434 --> 01:11:14.728
Pain.”

01:11:14.728 --> 01:11:17.356
Because when death
shows up on your doorstep

01:11:17.356 --> 01:11:21.652
then all of the sudden
you can relate and see

01:11:21.652 --> 01:11:25.572
and feel the pain on a personal level

01:11:25.572 --> 01:11:29.034
that other people experience.

01:11:47.344 --> 01:11:50.764
My husband,
this is his passion.

01:11:50.764 --> 01:11:54.184
That if we don’t keep our eyes
on God we’ll quit, turn back...

01:11:54.184 --> 01:11:58.188
I don’t think that he was
considering home.

01:11:58.188 --> 01:12:00.607
It was about a movement, it was about

01:12:00.607 --> 01:12:02.943
the situation

01:12:02.943 --> 01:12:07.906
and nothing that I could say or do

01:12:07.906 --> 01:12:13.495
let him know what I was at home,
with a newborn baby,

01:12:13.495 --> 01:12:14.830
really going through.

01:12:14.830 --> 01:12:16.790
I need you here.

01:12:16.790 --> 01:12:20.336
Scream as loud as you can,
“I can’t and I won’t quit”.

01:12:20.336 --> 01:12:23.964
I can’t and I won’t quit.

01:12:23.964 --> 01:12:28.927
Open your mouth and declare,
this is not what God promised me.

01:12:28.927 --> 01:12:31.972
This is not what God promised me.

01:12:31.972 --> 01:12:34.808
I feel as though
I’m dealing with a stranger.

01:12:34.808 --> 01:12:38.687
After all that we’ve been through.

01:12:38.687 --> 01:12:41.690
How do you reason with someone that’s

01:12:41.690 --> 01:12:47.196
sold on their way is the right way?

01:12:49.656 --> 01:12:55.037
And I mean it’s for a noble purpose,
it really is.

01:12:56.789 --> 01:12:59.208
He came back from Selma,

01:13:01.210 --> 01:13:06.673
what was powerfully displayed to me

01:13:06.673 --> 01:13:14.056
was a lack of control, and...

01:13:15.724 --> 01:13:19.103
I cannot be in that state of mind.

01:13:19.103 --> 01:13:21.855
I cannot be in that environment.

01:13:21.855 --> 01:13:25.401
It got too intense for me and I left.

01:13:37.579 --> 01:13:41.834
What was done was disrespectful,
I was disrespected.

01:13:41.834 --> 01:13:44.294
Not to paint a horrible picture,

01:13:44.294 --> 01:13:46.547
but I don’t deserve to be disrespected,

01:13:46.547 --> 01:13:53.220
especially by my husband
and I’ve had your child.

01:13:59.143 --> 01:14:01.019
I, I’m not trying to make him look bad.

01:14:01.019 --> 01:14:03.522
I don’t want to make him, I don’t want to…

01:14:03.522 --> 01:14:05.524
I love him and I know he loves people.

01:14:05.524 --> 01:14:10.529
I just think that he needs to deal
with some of his own demons.

01:14:14.867 --> 01:14:18.078
Yes, I plan on getting a divorce.

01:14:18.078 --> 01:14:21.999
Yes mam I am fighting for your freedom
like Dr. Martin Luther King.

01:14:21.999 --> 01:14:23.333
He was a great example.

01:14:23.333 --> 01:14:26.211
I actually just left Selma, Alabama

01:14:26.211 --> 01:14:29.756
and I was speaking in Doctor King’s
pulpit on your behalf.

01:14:29.756 --> 01:14:33.844
In real life I choose to be in jail
so you can stay free.

01:14:36.305 --> 01:14:37.139
Thank you.

01:14:37.139 --> 01:14:38.640
I didn’t go home last night.

01:14:38.640 --> 01:14:40.934
I was locked behind these
gates and slept right here

01:14:40.934 --> 01:14:43.187
waiting for ya’ll to come so I could
wake up in the morning

01:14:43.187 --> 01:14:46.815
and give ya’ll this
ghetto gospel breakfast.

01:14:46.815 --> 01:14:47.983
Ghetto gospel.

01:14:47.983 --> 01:14:50.694
Thank you.

01:14:50.694 --> 01:14:52.696
We all family.

01:14:52.696 --> 01:14:54.573
So I’m with my family right now.

01:14:54.573 --> 01:14:56.450
What if I could convince you…

01:14:56.450 --> 01:15:02.331
Right now,
I just don’t feel like we’re married.

01:15:02.331 --> 01:15:09.004
Wisdom and my son uh, are at my house

01:15:09.004 --> 01:15:14.510
with with with grandma uh,

01:15:14.510 --> 01:15:17.471
I didn’t say my home on purpose.

01:15:17.471 --> 01:15:19.348
Right now it\'s just a house.

01:15:19.348 --> 01:15:27.147
Just a shell, just a warehouse to store
people and clothing and belongings.

01:15:27.147 --> 01:15:29.441
It’s just a house.

01:15:29.441 --> 01:15:33.237
Uh, and I\'m over here,

01:15:33.237 --> 01:15:37.115
sleeping in the jailhouse.

01:15:39.493 --> 01:15:41.453
Doing what I told God
what I was going to do.

01:15:41.453 --> 01:15:45.290
Anyway the devil reared
his head around me.

01:15:45.290 --> 01:15:52.047
I\'m just living up to the word that I
gave to the best of my ability.

01:15:52.047 --> 01:15:53.924
Uh,

01:16:00.639 --> 01:16:04.851
I, I, I hate the way things are

01:16:04.851 --> 01:16:08.564
but because I know what God told me to do

01:16:08.564 --> 01:16:10.524
and I know I\'m doing that when I ain’t,

01:16:10.524 --> 01:16:14.987
when nothing else ain’t going right
I have the ability to still keep doing

01:16:14.987 --> 01:16:17.656
what God told me to do.

01:16:17.656 --> 01:16:21.201
Because of that I can’t believe
it’s going to go wrong.

01:16:21.201 --> 01:16:23.579
I, I don\'t know what is going
to happen to make it go right

01:16:23.579 --> 01:16:24.955
it\'s mighty dark in here

01:16:24.955 --> 01:16:27.916
but yea though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death.

01:16:27.916 --> 01:16:30.085
I don\'t fear no evil.

01:16:30.752 --> 01:16:34.172
Anything you want to know
about jail ask me.

01:16:34.172 --> 01:16:35.549
You want to feel the chains?

01:16:35.549 --> 01:16:38.427
You got one time to feel
these chains right here,

01:16:38.427 --> 01:16:40.304
if you ever feel these chains again,

01:16:40.304 --> 01:16:42.598
you’re going to be in them.

01:16:42.598 --> 01:16:45.392
I see the pain that my son suffers.

01:16:45.392 --> 01:16:48.604
I see the struggle
that he’s going through.

01:16:50.439 --> 01:16:53.942
This is not what I want for him.

01:16:53.942 --> 01:16:56.445
You might want to help other people,

01:16:56.445 --> 01:17:01.700
but you haven’t
allowed yourself to be free.

01:17:06.622 --> 01:17:08.540
The reality is

01:17:08.540 --> 01:17:12.044
that I haven’t been a
great example as a father.

01:17:14.171 --> 01:17:18.050
But there is one thing that I’ve learned.

01:17:21.511 --> 01:17:25.098
If you allow your mind to be locked up,

01:17:29.811 --> 01:17:34.650
then you’ll be incarcerated forever.
