may I feel your forehead?

No?

No worries, no worries.

We'll take your temperature.

Ulysses?

You're gonna have to

tell me what happened.

Sweetheart...

trust me, this is why I'm here.

Oh, you look really good, honey.

I got you some food, boo,

before these other hoes

raided the place.

Thank you.

I mean, are you okay, ma?

Listen, we all go

through it, girl,

it's nothin' fun or pretty.

But you get through it.

I still got my arm busted up

by some trick last week.

Honey, my father beat

the living Christ out of me.

I was in the hospital

for three weeks.

Motherf***er probably hopes

I'm dead somewhere.

I mean, I have a place,

if you need to stay.

I got a couch, too.

You can always crash with me.

Or with me.

I do wanna see my mom.

You broke my body

And you took my soul

And I wept those tears

But you were never there

- Abnormal, defective

- Abnormal, defective

- You broke my heart in two

- You broke my heart in two

- Left homeless, rejected

- Left homeless, rejected

- So lonely

- So lonely

- The conditions of your love

- The conditions of your love

- Forever ending

- The conditions of your love

- Forever leaving

- The conditions of your love

- Forever ending

- The conditions of your love

- Conditions of love

- Conditions of love

Y'all go to bed.

I'll be back with your

brother before you know it.

You promise?

Yes. I promise.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Where the hell

have you been?

- Hi.

- Hi.

I'm Ebony.

I'm Amara.

Are you okay?

He's got a bit of a fever,

but he's getting better.

He's really tough.

- Get your hands off that boy.

- Rose.

You're allowing in your home

exactly what's been

infecting him.

- How dare you!

- How dare you!

I'm just looking out for the

best interests of this boy.

- He's weak.

- You know nothing about me.

I know you perfectly.

Your father is dead.

Your mother is never around.

He's crying out for help.

How the hell do you

know anything about him?

- I'm his mother.

- And you're failing.

You have one job,

to protect him,

and you can't even do that.

- You're a disgrace.

- You're the disgrace!

What kind of person

tries to destroy a child?

What do you think is going

to happen to him in this world?

He is a black boy...

and he's gay.

And you're too dumb to get it.

Are you okay?

I'm...

so sorry you had

to hear any of that.

I'm glad you're back.

Me too.

Morning.

I thought I would

stay home from work

and make your favorite eggs.

You doing okay?

You know...

the first moment

that I laid eyes on you,

I knew you were perfect.

To think that you're unhappy...

Just know that I love you.

Don't you ever question that.

Well, I try my best

To understand

The change

You're going through

You know it's gonna hurt me

If you're not loving you

You were born a diamond

But I see that

You're in pain

Remember that I love you

Come sun or come rain

We are only given one life

One chance to get it right

Into everybody's world

Comes hardship and strife

It's not about me

It's all about you

You know

I'm gonna love you

No matter what you do

Many different pathways

But we get there

Just the same

You know I'm gonna love you

Come sun or come rain

Fire, fire,

What you want, fire

Rain gonna come

Then the water dry out

Fire, fire,

What you want, fire

Rain gonna come

Then the water dry out

Fire, fire,

What you want, fire

Rain gonna come

Then the water dry out

Fire, fire,

What you want, fire

Rain gonna come

Then the water dry out

Fire, fire,

What you want, fire

Rain gonna come

Then the water dry out

Fire, fire,

What you want, fire

Rain gonna come

Then the water dry out
