For real?
For real.
Right? That's crazy, right?
So you back, right?
You back in the group.
Yeah.
Yeah?
Yeah, yeah.
All right.
The only thing is...
He didn't accept
your solo track.
He said it was too
different, too slow.
It didn't fit.
Do you agree with him?
Fellas do.
We gotta stick
to who we are, co.
Si's finest, right?
Right?
Yeah.
Yeah?
All right.
Let's just go out
there and kill it then.
That's what I'm talking about.
Let's go kill it.
Coco! Coco! Coco!
Shut up. Stupid.
I have one question.
Did you really fail my class
as a way to punish me?
Because I thought
you were smarter than that.
I expected so much
more from you, coco.
Today, I emerge as a writer.
What angels dare to dream.
Every day tears fall from
my eyes is a day I survive.
Conquering the crumbling
mountains of self-doubt.
I am no longer a dream deferred.
My growth is inevitable.
Who I am requires you
to see past your ego.
And see me.
You can't grade me
like a piece of meat.
I am the embodiment
of verses and stanzas.
Of freedom fighters and poetry slams.
We are no different.
If you examine the diameter of
hip-hop's slang and grammar,
you'll find that it is very
similar to the iambic pentameter.
But you're so ignorant.
Rappers are poets.
And poets are rappers.
Only academics are
And despite what you think,
I did learn one thing.
That the truth is inevitable.
Oh. And yeah,
it doesn't have to rhyme.
For what it's worth,
Derek came into my office
to tell me that it was over.
I was the one hanging on.
He dropped out of
the master's program today.
He had one week left.
He said that he didn't want
to earn his degree this way.
He did love you back.
That's poetry.
You ready for tonight?
Yeah. I just have to go pick
up my jacket at Malik's.
Okay now. Don't get nervous and
start talking too fast, all right?
Like you do when you get
nervous, you talk fast.
See, you got this.
You are so great at it.
For you, baby,
this is like breathing
so don't put any extra pressure
on yourself, all right?
Are you okay, mom?
Lord, I'm a wreck.
I just want you to know that no
matter what happens tonight,
baby, I am so proud of you.
Thanks, mom.
Just want you to
know that I'm going to
finish my semester
and get my accounting degree.
I've still got plan b in the works.
To hell with plan b.
Tonight, I want you to go out
there and make plan a happen.
I wanna thank
everyone for supporting
slam poetry and
the 5 boros team.
Tonight, we're selecting
four people.
These are the best
of New York City.
Coco. Hey, coco.
Hey, Naveen.
Thanks so much for
letting us do this.
No, I can't wait to
see your solo song tonight.
We're not performing the solo song.
Wait, what?
Malik and reasons and Matt
said that you guys
didn't like the solo song,
so we're just not gonna do it.
That's the only song
that Richard and I even liked.
We were willing to
tolerate the other songs,
but I was very clear with Malik
and the boys about this.
I need you, okay?
Okay.
Co...
F***ing liar.
No one gives
a damn about Naveen,
what he thinks or
what Richard thinks.
I think they're
wrong since day one.
They been wrong the whole time.
You all knew about this.
Your songs just
don't fit, all right?
They're not who we are.
And you a part of us.
You really think
rough street records
is gonna give us
a second chance?
Look, they're just trying
to make money off us.
They charging $20,
$30 to get in here.
And we ain't even getting paid.
we're gonna make so much noise,
all of them, everybody gonna
be wanting to sign us.
All right,
and gonna do it our way.
Si's finest way.
From the beginning.
Let's do this.
Don't f***ing touch me.
Come on.
Co...
You okay?
What up, yo?
How y'all doing?
And we can't forget the female
of the group. Beautiful.
Coco!
This is a coco Ford song that
you almost didn't hear tonight.
Coming to you
from across the waters.
All the way from
London, England.
You all make some noise.
For Derek Morris.
Thank you.
She does to me
what winter does to the trees.
She strips me bare,
naked and empty.
I laugh to myself, because...
I can't sing, it's just...
She makes me want
to try and harmonize.
Like...
Like I've got no worries
bothering me tomorrow.
Like I've got no dirty clothes
hamper full of yesterdays...
Stinking up what
future is left in me.
But I...
I really ain't no Saint.
Never felt love's true bliss.
A disciple of my father, I learned
to love with clenched fists.
I learned to love like
reading braille on skin.
Tracing the insecurities
of women
through the palms
of their hands.
But with her...
It was different.
See, she was in every
single word I wrote.
She walked a poet's refrain.
Spoke a sweet soliloquy.
But I recognize the lack
of trust in my own heart.
Because only a fool won't
accept the nourishment
that's right before their eyes.
Instead he will starve.
I look at her and
every time she smiles,
it reminds me of everything
I stole from myself.
Every joy...
Every joy I never had
the courage to taste.
As you learn to
love yourself better...
Teach me.
As you learn to forgive
yourself for failing...
Teach me.
As you learn to accept
strength and vulnerability...
Teach me.
Some days I miss
the burn of a love lost.
Or maybe...
Just maybe.
Until right now.
I love you, coco.
Like, I loved you.
Derek Morris.
