And i really appreciate it.

You're welcome.

Oh, sh*t.

- Aw.

All right, all right.

I know, i know,

little pumpkin.

Are you cold?

It's okay, i know.

Shh.Shh.

You know,

why don't you understand?

No, what do you mean,

why don't i just

understand?

All i'm asking you

is come to the fireworks

with us.

You ain't doing nothing.

I could see if you were busy.

- It's not that important.

- So you can do your thing?

- Hi.

- Bye.

- Thank you so much.

It was nice meeting you.

Bye, baby.

Bye, see you later.

Bye, pumpkin.

All right.

See ya.

- Well, say hi

to your mom for me.

- I will.

- Who's that guy?

- Tracy's new boyfriend.

Excuse me.

He doesn't look too happy

about that.

Julian doesn't know

about him.

That's why

he looks so pissed.

That's what he gets.

Just a little bit.

Don't piss him off any more

when he gets in the car.

I'm not gonna say

anything.

one more hour,

the last hour

gotta thank

obatala for this one

clarity

'cause if i had

just one more hour

what am i gonna do?

What you gonna do?

run a mile?

Eat a good meal?

call up a friend?

i wrote these rhymes,

i was inclined, my daily time

fans read my mind,

were written on a page

performed onstage,

i channeled my rage

like you were in a daze

was what i went through

worth all that i owned?

what hurt so much

is that i was all alone

i mean, i have some friends,

i earned some things

even without good men

i still kept it moving

without a good man

i still kept it moving

i'm not trying

to make excuses

Mm-hmm...

i called him a liar,

i love him a lot

but he ain't all

that i got

furthermore,

he was not available

i sit and i prayed

and my god would say

it'll be okay

love be coming

with each day

if he's the one

it's not about the wait

it's about

the arrival

these men can only focus

upon their own survival

your love is valid,

but it's new to the palate

don't get so mad,

it's just his habit

so i left him alone,

i let myself to roam

these new york streets,

these new york beats

and through

all the defeats, the tears

on the bedsheets...

Sorry.

- Were you asleep?

- No, it's okay.

I think I had enough.

Well, not right now,

i don't think.

Well, you gotta

get in the car.

- Why's that?

- Well, we're sort of busy.

We have another party

we have to go to.

You heard it on

the radio,

You've seen it

on a tv show...
