I'm in Love with a Church Girl Page #8

Pulling up to the club

with a brim

Iced

and a chinchilla

Stacking the skrilla

in a legal way

Rock stadiums from Nicaragua

down to San Tropez

Hey, and I ain't even

got a curse in my raps

I keep it gully while

I'm spitting this fire

On hot tracks

My skills

speak for themselves

I'm like a young LL

back in the day

When he was

rocking them bells

The Sly Stallone

of the microphone

I'm old school like

Special K, turbo, and ozone

What, rep for my people

like I'm Che Guevara

With a derby and linen pants

plus a guayabera

Oh, I'm so sick

they sending ambulances

To resuscitate the mic

from my verbal thrashing

Cash advances

and top-brand fashion

Guaranteed to rock the spot

And keep

the party peeps dancing

I got to go-

Why, Miles?

Why?

God help me.

God help me.

Miles, it's your mama.

She's very ill.

Hurry up and get down here.

No. No.

"But if any of you

lacks wisdom,

let him ask of God"...

I'm so sorry guys.

It's Miles' dad.

Hello?

Vanessa, it's Caesar.

Hi, Mr. Montego, how are you?

Not good.

It's Miles' mom.

She's very ill.

Thank God you're here, son.

Hey, Pop, how you doing?

I came as soon as I could,

Ma.

How you doing?

Hi, baby.

I'm sorry.

I ruined the trip.

Trip?

What you talking about,

"trip"?

Don't worry about that,

okay?

You just concentrate

on getting well.

How you feeling?

She's under a lot

of medication right now.

Let's let her rest.

Don't worry, son.

It'll be all right.

Okay.

Miles,

I need to talk to you.

Come on.

Well, son,

it's not good.

Not good at all.

How?

How does somebody go

from perfectly healthy

to dying overnight?

It wasn't overnight.

Apparently, your mother

lived with this for years,

and you know your mother

and doctors.

There's no way to know.

Your mother always thought

that an aspirin

could fix everything.

So what do we do now?

They said the best thing to do

is to try to help her

feel comfortable.

But, Miles,

right now, I need you

to be strong for your mama,

okay?

Yeah, Pop.

Good.

Miles, I'm so sorry.

I can't even imagine

what you're going through

right now.

Look,

V, I want to explain

something to you.

Miles, you don't

have to explain anything.

I know this is not

the right time.

It's not the right time.

Just listen to me.

I don't know

what's going on right now,

but I've never felt

like this.

It's like...

it's like I'm feeling guilt

and shame.

It's like... I don't know...

I don't deserve anything.

All at the same time.

Then I get confused

about what I think

God is telling me.

I never feel like

I'm doing the right thing, babe.

I want you to understand

something.

Look at me.

I want you to know that

nothing happened that night.

Miles, you don't have to...

Hey, babe, just...

I love you.

I love you,

and I would never do anything

to hurt you.

Is that the whole truth,

Miles?

No question, babe.

I believe you, baby.

Vanessa.

I need you

to do something for me.

Anything you ask me to,

I'll do it.

Don't cry.

Just listen.

I need you to take care

of Miles for me.

I know there's a reason

why you two met.

God has something special

for you two.

God knew

that the only way to his heart...

Was through a woman like you...

beautiful, wonderful,

godly woman.

Please don't ever

give up on him

if you really love him.

I do.

I really do.

Baby.

Now, I want a big wedding

and lots of grandbabies,

okay?

Ma, don't do this right now.

You're gonna be fine.

No, Miles, I'm not,

so I need you

to keep seeking the Lord.

He's the answer

to all your problems.

He's got big plans for you,

baby.

Big plans.

My love.

She's really tired right now.

Let her get some rest.

It's been a long day.

Ma.

Ma!

Ma.

May the Lord

now welcome Julia

to the table of God's children

in heaven.

With faith and hope

in eternal life,

let us assist her

with our prayers.

Eternal rest

grant unto her, O Lord.

May her soul and the souls of

all the faithful departed,

through the mercy of God,

rest in peace.

Amen.

Looks like a nice party.

Have a little respect

for the dead, Brian.

You want to send

some flowers?

I just don't see the point

in keeping an eye on him

while he's here.

I don't buy this.

You don't get to be

where a guy like that is

and just flip it off.

This guy's smarter

than the average crook.

This could all

be a smoke screen.

Maybe.

You believe in God,

Brian?

Oh, don't go getting

all religified on me, Jason.

Do you go to church?

Yes, sir.

Every week,

wife and kids,

Bible study,

the whole nine yards.

You do, huh?

Why didn't I know that?

You never asked.

Miles?

I just wanted to tell you

that I am so sorry

for your loss.

Your mother

was a beautiful woman.

I saw the look on her face

and felt the warmth of her heart

when she saw you in church.

I'm sorry

if I haven't always been

the easiest person

when it comes to you.

I want you to know

I'm always praying for you.

Remember, you may

not always understand

why God does certain things,

but I can promise you

that it's all part

of one big plan for your life.

Just know that

this family loves you.

Thank you.

That means a lot to me.

Hey, Mrs. Leon.

Hi, Miles.

I hope you have an open heart

and mind about this.

I really love your daughter.

I mean, she means

the world to me.

I want to spend

the rest of my life with her.

I want to marry her.

I mean, with your permission,

of course.

It'd be an honor

to have you as part

of this family, Miles.

Do you think you're

truly ready for this, Miles?

Well, I know I got a long way

to go, Mrs. Leon...

...but no one's gonna

love or treat Vanessa

the way I can,

so, yeah,

I'm ready.

Uh-oh.

Okay, okay.

Loving it.

Look at you.

Thank you, baby.

So you ready for your big

birthday surprise?

Yes, but seriously,

you're crazy.

Come on, we could have

done something

super simple like dinner.

It ain't too late.

We could always cancel.

You know,

Jimmy's is open 24 hours.

That's what we won't be doing.

Come on, let's go.

Where are we?

You know this is crazy,

right?

Who does this?

Okay, babe,

is there steps or...

Come here. Come here.

Okay. Okay.

I'm... hey.

Right here.

It's windy.

Happy birthday, baby.

Oh, my gosh.

Are you crazy?

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

Oh, my...

is this for real?

Hi, how can I help you, sir?

I'd like to see

the flight plan

of that last private jet

that went out, please.

I'm sorry, sir.

That information

is confidential.

It's okay.

I'm Mr. Confidential.

Look, babe.

Look out this window.

Know what I see?

What?

I see God, baby.

You do?

I mean, only He could have

created all this.

I look, and I see a world

with no limits.

With the right drive

and hustle,

anybody could have anything

and everything they want.

It's been a rough

couple of months for me,

but I learned a lot.

Yeah?

Like what?

Well, I learned

I'm not as in control of things

as I thought I was.

I learned that life

can be taken away from you
