Outcast, misunderstood...

But you gotta know homie, it's not the

white men that's making you feel that way...

These are your collegues man.

we're all in the same boat here.

Treat them with respect.

No homie is better than the other.

I told you he's not my father.

You don't know my father.

the man died in a heart attack

when you were 8?

Relax.

Some people lives are not really

bad as people think.

what really matter is the perception.

now I used to be kinda of rough cowboy,

Bad seed myself.

But my mentor showed me that

i maybe not that bad after all.

Is this your son?

wouldn't it remind you of me?

is he dead?

every one has choices, Antonio.

all you can really do is try

to stay on a good moral compass...

what if you don't have a compass?
