Previously
on Raising Kanan...

I'm raising your prices 20%.

Can't just drop a
increase on me like that.

I can. And I just did.

That is my nephew.
What did he do?

Drop them drawers.

Found some cookies for dessert.

Thanks, Uncle Marvin.

Why did you faint, though?

Your grandmother
has kidney cancer.

I don't know what's worse,
facing death or facing my kids.

Where's Chalmers going?

Dishonorable
discharge.

They found some faggot
magazines in his footlocker.

I couldn't
be myself in there.

And I'm not lying about
who I am, not for nobody.

Got a hip-hop imprint.
I want you to run it.

You only got one
artist that got that realness.

B-Rilla. Tell me
you ready to work.

I'll get you out of here
by the end of the day.

You get me out of here
by the end of the day,

I'll tell you whatever
the fuck you want.

I got this
bookie in Corona.

He doesn't respond well
to constructive criticism.

So you want me to try
destructive criticism.

A mole inside
the Bureau informs me

that both you and
Marvin were observed

separately meeting
with Mr. Marchetti

earlier this week.

- My Marvin?
- I assumed you knew.

We gonna cut the starting
hourly for new guys.

Got it, and our inventory
is getting real tight.

You got a damn superpower
at the moment, man.

You invisible.

I ain't never been
more fucking alive.

Y'all forgot about
me real fucking fast.

Unique.

We thought... we heard...

Shut the fuck up, bitch.

Move.

Come on.

Fill that shit up.

That is everything.

Now go.

Please.

That ain't everything yet.

Raq dick
taste sweet or sour?

Duck sauce, soy sauce.

We're very sorry.

We're very, very sorry.

Please, no!

A lot of
niggas get in the game

thinking they can
make their fast money

and then dip the fuck out.

But that ain't how
this shit works, nigga.

Ain't no half steps.

When you in, you all the way in.

And when you out,
you're gonna be

all the fucking way out too.

You ain't stopped eating
since you been home, girl.

Army keeps you mad hungry.

No Lucky Charms or
Slim Jims in the mess.

Your ass would wash
out the first day.

Yo, speaking of all that,
what you want me to say

to these Army motherfuckers
when they get here?

'Cause they about to
be up in the spot.

It's all good.

I'm gonna handle 'em.

I hear they take the
AWOL shit real serious.

I take shit serious too.

Yeah.

Yo, fuck that Army and
they white man wars.

You smart, Juke.

You need to go back
to school or get up

on that education-type shit.

Put your head to work.

Make that real money.

I-I got it.

Private Thomas?

Thank you, baby.

Those pills fighting the cancer?

I thought you understood, Kanan.

I'm done fighting like that.

What you mean, done?

Dr. Hannom said there's
still something you could do.

That's not what he said, baby.

He said nothing I do
will change anything.

The cancer's everywhere, Kanan.

But I'm here now, though.

On my own terms.

In my own way.

I'm a bad
motherfucker, grandson.

I thought you knew.

And if you don't
know, you better...

- Ask somebody.
- Uh huh.

Yeah, Grandma. I
know who you are.

Believe that.

Everybody need to
see you before you...

before.

They wanted to know how
I am, they'd come around,

check on me.

But they don't.

And I am not gonna
go crying to them.

Grandma, it's not about crying.

It's about being real to
each other, for each other.

That's something we
don't do in this family.

If Raq been more honest with me,

maybe things would be different
between me and her now.

She's still your mother, Kanan,

and my daughter.

No matter what she
done or hasn't done,

you still need to
show her respect.

But maybe it is
past time for me to

be real with everyone,

including myself.

Absences without leave
are a serious violation,

Private Thomas.

They threaten morale.

And they go against
the very fabric

of the United States
Armed Services' commitment

to our country and each other.

That's why they carry
such severe punishment.

Punishment for what?

I tried it. Wasn't for me.

You swore an oath
to your country,

and you've broken it.

She didn't break shit.

And she didn't hurt nobody.

Sergeant Healy and I
are here as a courtesy

to Private Thomas.

We could have turned her
case over to military police.

All I need is that
entry-level separation,

and I'm good.

Entry-level separations
are only granted

after an official
review and a submission

of the appropriate
documentation.

We follow a strict process
in the Army, Private Thomas,

one which you
blatantly, purposefully,

and willfully ignored.

I'm gay.

Where do I put that in
all your documentation?

Matter of fact,

why don't you send
over them MPs,

and I can get me a lawyer

and say what I need
to say to some judge?

You're letting
down your country.

It's a'ight.

My country's let down me and
mines plenty of times too.

Word.

We're gonna grant you
entry-level separation.

But I hope you're not
proud of yourself.

And I hope you're not
proud of yourself neither.

Yo, wake up, man.

Yo!

Get up.

Man, what the fuck
is your problem?

My problem is, you
still here, nigga.

You told me you was gonna be
posting up at your cousin's.

That ain't gonna
work out after all.

My cousin started
smashing some bitch,

got three kids.

They all at his crib.

Ain't no room for me over there.

No room for you
here either, nigga.

When I came and got
you out the joint,

you ain't said shit to me about
providing you room and board.

That ain't part of
the deal, Rilla.

That's 'cause it ain't no deal.

Not no real one.

That advance wasn't 'bout shit.

And all the rest of my money
is based off future sales.

I ain't got nowhere to go

'cause I ain't got
nothing in my pocket, Lou.

Well, we gonna have
to talk to Lowell

and figure that shit out.

'Cause I ain't in the
market for a new roommate.

Till then, clean up your shit.

Thank you.

Help you with something?

Um...

just rolling through
for my number 37.

What happened?

So nobody saw nothing.

It was late. They
were closing up.

We'll post up security
at the other restaurants.

I mean, motherfuckers hit one,

they might think they
can hit all of 'em.

I'll reach out to Uncle Irwin.

Yo. They was his family.

Yeah, he gon' be in a bad way.

Yo, speaking of family, though,

I'm thinking I might know
the motherfucker behind this.

Caught Richard's
nephew swiping my shit.

Put him out on his ass.
Probably came back for more.

You gotta be
100% on this, Marvin,

'cause Uncle Irwin
ain't the only fam

we fucking with here.

Quan is also in the mix.

Richard is his wife's cousin.

And shit with him complicated
enough before all of this.

Well, let me go see what's what.

André said the feds
watching Stefano's shop.

Okay.

He said they saw you
walking out of there

a couple days ago, alone.

They bullshitting

or got me confused
with some other nigga.

They know who you are, Marvin.

I don't think they're confused.

Then they lying, just
like they always do.

Fucking with us just so
we start looking sideways.

Go roll up on Richard
and Sunny's nephew.

Get him talking.

Go knock this kid around and...

and see what's what.

An "excuse me" would be nice.

My other
employees are panicking.

They think they
will be killed too.

Tell them they a'ight.

Ain't no reason to think
that this gon' happen again.

It was probably just some kids
trying to knock off the spot.

They got scared, and they
did some real dumb shit.

Dumb? This was murder.

Your restaurants is on
some tough blocks, Irwin.

You can't tell me that
this is the first time

one of them been hit.

It's the first time
people have died.

And Sunny and Richard
are part of my family.

And I'm sorry for your loss.

They were good people.

We adding extra security
around the clock.

No cost to you.

The violence is too much.

And like I just said,
though, we don't even know

that that has shit to
do with my business.

Nah.

You married?

41 years.

Yeah, well, we
married too, Irwin.

Me and you.

For better or for worse,
through sickness and in health,

all of that shit.

And you and me, we in
it for the long haul.

Ain't no such thing
as divorce between us

'cause now you know too much.

You've seen too much.

Can't let you walk out on me.

'Cause once you and me jump
that broom, shit stay jumped.

I don't feel safe in
this apartment, Kanan.

It's just too much going on,
too many people in and out.

There was some
fucked-up-looking dude

coming out the building today.

His face was all
scarred and scary.

Something about him
felt real wrong.

Shit's uncomfortable.

Scary-looking niggas in
every building everywhere.

You got delivery boys
coming in and out of here,

O-Cee and all his bullshit.

Anyone can just walk right in.

You should never
live where you work.

What's that, more
science from your father?

That's me.

I think you should
get a new apartment.

I'm not trying to add
the expenses right now.

A'ight, look. Look, look.

If you scared, shit,
go back to your mom's.

- I know...
- So her punk-ass boyfriend can

put his dick-feeling
hands on me again?

Nah. I ain't going back there.

You know I'm more than
happy to have a conversation

with that nigga.

Make sure his hands
not feeling on nothing

no time soon.

A new apartment might not be
as expensive as you'd think.

At least check some out with me.

Maybe you'll like one.

Please?

Come on.

I'm not even gonna
like none of 'em.

But I like you.

You better.

We need to break off Rilla
a little something-something

so he can get his
feet under him.

Word.

You done had me working
like a slave in July

up here, Lowell.

You have a signed agreement
with this record label, Rilla,

and we have more than upheld
our end of that agreement,

including paying the legal
fees to get you out of jail.

The only reason I was on the
inside in the first place

is 'cause I ain't have enough
to feed me or my peoples.

This ain't even no label.
It's a fucking plantation.

Sit down, man.

We ain't gonna figure
it out like that.

I looked at the contract
Rilla got with y'all.

It ain't great.

It's some bullshit.

But it ain't the worst
deal I've seen neither.

What? The advance
was real money.

And the fact that you
don't got none of it

is a conversation
for another time.

The point is, Rilla need help.

We his partners, so we
need to do right by him.

I just paid for him to get
released from jail, Lou.

And that's not the first
time I've had to pay a lawyer

to finagle him out of trouble.

How many more times do I
need to right Rilla's wrongs?

This Jew nigga
want to see wrong?

I'll show him wrong.

And they gonna have to carry
his ass out when I'm done.

How about you shut the fuck
up and let me handle this?

Yeah. That's good advice.
You should take it.

- Fuck you, Seinfeld.
- Fuck you.

André, give me a call.

I got some wildness
going on over here,

and I need to know what your
NYPD connect saying about it.

It gonna be bullshit
like I knew it was gonna be.

- Lou, do your job.
- Look, look, look.

We ain't even
talking about much,

just enough for him
to get his own place

and feed his baby and her moms.

There's a lot of water
under this bridge

between Rilla and me.

And I couldn't even think
about looking forward

until we address it.

First off, you always make
cracks about me being a Jew.

I don't like it.
It's insulting.

I don't give a fuck.

You know why my father
started this label, Rilla?

I don't care.

Because when
he came to this country,

no one would hire Jews.

Finance, advertising, even
selling fucking insurance,

no Jews allowed.

So he and his brother
turned to music,

a business that was
barely a business.

I hope your daddy
wasn't too worried.

Yo, y'all Jews is white as hell.

Stuff was always gonna
end up a'ight for you.

That's why y'all run
every fucking thing.

We're white

when you want to hate
us for being white

and Jews when you want to
hate us for being Jews.

This really not
gonna get us nowhere.

No, no, no, no. I
want to say my piece.

We went into entertainment
because they wouldn't let us

work anywhere else,

revolutionized these industries,

and all the thanks
we get is being told

that we're fucking
puppet masters

who control the fucking world.

Y'all did that shit
off niggas' backs,

fucking us when we desperate.

Yeah, I steal from you.

You steal from me.

I lie to you. You lie to me.

It's the rhythm and
flow of what we do.

And it's not unique
to me or my people.

I can assure you of that.

Some of those Motown
deals that Berry did

were three steps below
indentured servitude.

He's Berry Gordy.

You are Lowell fucking Gelfand.

And for all this bullshit
about how we control

the fucking banking
industry, my father

and most of the Jews he knew
didn't even trust banks.

They kept piles of cash
right in our house,

a tradition which I'm
embarrassed to say

I've continued to this day.

Can we please get
back to business?

Rilla needs an advance.

We can make it recoupable.

Hmm?

Yeah, tell me how much you need,

and I'll have them
cut the check today.

Consider it a bonus
for sitting here

and listening to
my history lesson.

We appreciate it, Lowell.

Out of curiosity, did
anything that I just said

mean anything to you at all?

- Nah.
- Yeah. I figured.

I appreciate you hearing
me out nonetheless.

Sometimes it's meaningful
just to be heard.

No doubt.

Thanks for the check.

My pleasure.

This is going to
be your third time

going through that
catalog, sweetie.

Doesn't matter how
many times you read it.

The courses ain't gonna change.

Now let's see what you got here.

Juke!

What you doing here,
Whitney Houston?

Yo, ain't you supposed to
be on tour with your group?

What's that shit called again?

Booty.

Butta.

Butta, that's right. What...

Shit wasn't going nowhere.

It's done.

I'm trying out this
college life now.

Check it, I gotta hit
this ceramics class,

but me and some of the old crew
hitting a bar downtown tonight.

You should come through.
They ain't checking IDs.

- Maybe.
- Fuck maybe. You gotta.

Heads gonna want to see you.

All right, hit you
with the details later.

How you fucking
do him like that?

You sick motherfucker.
Your own fucking people.

Don't shoot. Don't
shoot, please.

Be a man.

Cop to it, and maybe
I won't kill you.

What?

Richard and Sunny, nigga.

I know you put 'em down.

My uncle and my aunt?

They're dead? How? Who would...

You, nigga, that's who.

I would never!

What about Clarabelle?
Is she okay?

- Who Clarabelle?
- Their daughter.

Where is she?

She okay?

Fuck.

They daughter.

I forgot.

Little girl a orphan now.

Just what the fucking
world don't need.

No.

The daughter wasn't there.

It was just them.

I have to go to
her. I have to...

You didn't do 'em.

I loved 'em.

Shit.

Yo, I'm sorry, you
know, for your loss

and busting in
here the way I did.

I just thought... fuck it.

I-I... don't matter
what I thought.

You hear anything,
you let me know,

'cause I'm gonna
make somebody pay

for what they did to
Richard and Sunny.

Go check on the little girl.

She gonna need you now.

She just lost everything.

Kanan here?

He's out.

Let him know
that I came through

and that I need to talk
to him about his school.

You asking me or telling me?

Krystal, right?

Yeah.

So you staying here with
my son now, Krystal?

Sometimes.

Heard you was in
the mix over here.

Didn't know you moved in.

Like I said, I'm not
here all the time.

Looks like you here
enough, though.

Spot's cleaner than
it ever been before.

Let Kanan know I came by.

I'm sure you and I are gonna
see each other again soon.

Damn!

So Juke just dropped all this
science on these Army niggas

and then bounced out that shit.

Shouldn't have gone
in the first place.

Wasn't no place for me there.

Not sure if there's a
place for me here, neither,

but at least here I can be me.

Well, now that you just you,

that mean no more secrets
or nothing, right?

I like girls, Kanan.

Anybody got a problem with that,

they can come get some.

That's what I'm
talking about, Juke.

Be you, girl.

Yes.

So... where's Famous at?

Marvin saying he left
town or something.

It's a lot of talk.

And I don't know
what to believe.

He got grabbed up by the
police for that kid, Freddy.

People are saying he
trying to tell 'em shit

to get out from under.

Fame is snitching?

I don't know.
A'ight? Nobody knows.

Shit, a lot of niggas are
saying he was talking to 'em.

And he got scared he said
too much and he bounced.

Police is looking for him now.

Spoke to his moms right quick,

but she don't know
nothing either.

And I ain't say much 'cause
if Fame is talking to police,

who know what she
thinking about me?

Fame not a snitch
like that, though.

He say dumb shit.

But he'd never let your name

come out his mouth
to the police.

Either way, nobody
know where he at.

Fame is out in LA
with his sister

hollering at some
bitches in bikinis

who got no time
for his stupidness.

That do sound like Fame.

I know you right.

Hell yeah, I am.

So I heard you going
back to school.

Mm.

Signed up for some
classes at BMCC.

It's dumb shit, though,
like some dance class

and the other one on the
history of the comic book.

So you gonna mess with
this music thing again?

Now that you're home?

Nah.

I'm done with all that.

Music ain't never done
nothing but fuck me over.

Music always been
your dream, though.

I only dream when
I'm asleep, nigga.

And I'm wide awake up in
this motherfucker now.

Yo, Early.

Hey, give me a minute, a'ight?

Marvin Thomas, what
can I do for you?

Your Lexus leaking oil again?

You hear anything about
that Chinese spot got hit?

First I'm hearing
about it right now.

That shit was a double.

Husband and wife used
to run that spot.

I'm friends of the family.

You hear anything, let me know.

Done.

Your aunt still fuck
with the child services?

ACS? Yeah, she do.

Trying to track
down this young girl

the system grabbed up.

So I'm just taking
it day by day,

which is all I need to do.

Thank you for listening.

And thank you, Janine.

So we have someone
celebrating a milestone today.

And I've asked him to share.

Lou?

Congratulations.

I, uh...

...almost strung myself up
by my fucking head in rehab.

Decided I was done with...

all of it, everything.

So I hung a cord, made
sure it could hold,

and tied that shit
around my neck.

I was about to do it

when I peeped myself
in the mirror.

And, uh...

...suddenly, I saw me.

I didn't recognize myself.

Just saw a sad, tragic brother

who didn't want to live no more.

And I felt sorry for him,

which I could never do before,

feel sad for...

for me.

Seeing me in that mirror,
it gave me the space

to be outside of
myself and look in.

And I stepped out of my
head, and I saw my hurt

and my pain

as if somebody else's.

It was then, seeing
that right there,

seeing that broken motherfucker

who was about to
take his own life...

...Is when I started to
actually feel sympathy for him.

To start forgiving
him just a little bit.

And, uh, when I
started forgiving him,

I started forgiving myself.

That's how I'm standing in
front of you right now, so...

thank you.

Look who came
through. It's Juke!

Juke, Juke!

Didn't think you
was gonna make it.

Sad to say I ain't got
nothing better to do.

Hear you're getting
your learn on

down there at the BMCC.

I signed up for some classes.

But they ain't about shit.

Get down
with us then, girl.

We're getting rich over here.

Fools paying crazy premium
for merch right now.

It's that supply and demand.

We got the supply and
niggas is demanding it.

I appreciate the
offer, but shit feels

a little like going
backwards to me.

Backwards to the future maybe.

I'm just looking
for somethin' new,

something I've
never done before.

Listen, ain't nothing wrong

with doing what you
was doing before

if you do it better.

I'm gonna hit this
bathroom right quick.

Didn't know about
all that in rehab.

Wasn't ready to speak
on it until now.

So you past it, then.

Work's never done, but...

I appreciate you
coming through tonight.

I got you.

I owe you, Raq.

For all the trouble I
caused, for all you did.

Nah, what you owe me

is taking care of
yourself, baby brother.

That's all you owe.

Do that, you and
me, we straight.

So you think Moms is
planning on poisoning us

at this dinner she
putting together?

Shit.

Don't matter if she
planning to or not.

That food gonna kill us.

First time?

I spent a whole month
showing up here every night

and never going inside.

One day, I decided,
what the hell?

What's the worst that a bunch
of bitches can do to me?

You want to come inside?

I'll keep all the crazy
ones away from you.

I promise.

Come on.

My name is Mara, by the way.

Laverne.

She's with me, Will.

I appreciate you.

Pushing on Lowell
to get my money.

That was solid.

I'm just trying to get
you up out my spot, nigga.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

For all my people
on the Southside,

people keep asking

You hit Raq's Chinese spot

and put down two
motherfuckers in the process?

You've been sweating
me for this money

since you scooped me that night.

You want it or not?

Playing with fire, 'Nique.

I am fire, nigga.

And I'ma burn down everything.

Amber.

Uncle Marvin.

Oh!

How did you know I was here?

I had to ask around.

Sorry it took me a minute.

How you doing?

How's your foster
family treating you?

I miss Daddy and Alice.

Yeah.

I know you do.

But listen,

you ever need anything,

here's my phone number and
a little something for you.

Don't share it.

It's... it's all yours.

I won't.

Is everything all right, Amber?

Um, I'm her godfather.

I haven't seen her in a minute.

Better get to class.

Do good.

Bye, Uncle Marvin.

- How yesterday go?
- Usual fiends.

But when you see
anything, you let me know.

This motherfucker.

I got this.

My wife's cousin is dead.

And whoever did it is
still walking the streets.

My brother, he spread around
money to find out who hit us.

We'll find him. It just
might take a minute.

Everything with you takes time.

I'm always waiting on you.

Meanwhile, we look
vulnerable, weak.

Weak is moving on motherfuckers

before we got the
right information.

We put down the wrong people,
we look scared, desperate.

An example needs to be made
so this doesn't happen again.

If you can't do it, I will.

You're replaceable, Raq.

You keep saying that like
you expect me to agree

or some shit.

Nah, this is not even
better than my crib now.

I just want you to
see what's out there.

And this place is better
than your spot, by the way.

Shit.

But it still ain't great.

Thank you, but we're
not interested.

Telling you, we good
where we are, girl.

Tell me you got something
on who hit the spot.

Um, nothing. Nobody talking.

Quan rolled through.

Between this fucking
price increase

and him always thinking he
know how to run our business

better than we do, he
turning up the heat

to something real uncomfortable.

He a problem.

Let's see if Joaquin can
help solve this shit for us.

Wow.

I like this one.

Yeah.

More space.

More shit to clean, though.

That's the
dumbest shit I ever heard.

This is really nice, Kanan.

And it's a good neighborhood.

Sorry, one of the
tenants was locked out,

and I had to...

oh.

Hi.

Um, this unit's
already spoken for.

We just took the deposit
a couple days ago.

And you just remembered?

She set this shit up
with you this morning.

It was an honest mistake.

Don't nothing about
that feel honest to me, man.

I feel like you saw us,

then all of a sudden remembered.

What's up, man?

We too young or just too Black?

We outta here.

Can afford way better
than his bullshit, anyway.

I won't
supply heroin in Queens.

Under any circumstances.

You know this.

I ain't asking for no
work from you, Joaquin.

I just want a name.

I know you know other players.

No one wants to go near Queens.

Too many complications.
Too many people to pay.

Maybe not everyone
in your position

got the same concerns as you.

Maybe they just want to make
this money, take they chances.

Talk to your friend
from Baltimore.

Traymont?

Heroin's been good
business for him.

We still owe Traymont
for what he did to us.

He has someone in Asia who
gives him a very good price

and might be interested
in moving into New York.

Nigga had me at
"very good price."

Traymont still come to the
city to re-up with you?

Always.

He loves the city.

He like those fucking fish legs.

They eggs, Marvin.

Fucking fish don't got no
legs. That's why they fish.

Legs, eggs. Same shit.

So when the next re-up?

This is the one.

Oh?

You talking real different
than you were earlier.

Yeah, a lot has
changed since earlier.

You didn't like how
that guy lied to us

saying that other
apartment wasn't available.

I'm just thinking, you right

about living where I work.

That shit is messy.

So all we need is for you to
fill out this application.

Assuming everything is
good, you should be all set.

Skip the paperwork, man.

Let's get right to the money.

Here's the deposit and
first three months.

Well, I appreciate that.

But I still have to
run a credit check.

- Look, we talking...
- What if we hit you

with a extra,
non-refundable deposit?

I think we might be able
to expedite the process.

I appreciate you expediting.

You're gonna be very happy here.

You look good, Grandma.

Mm.

A little powder, a little paint

make a girl what she ain't.

Mm-hmm.

Grandma look different, though.

Think she a'ight?

Your grandma gonna
outlive us all.

Too stubborn to go anywhere.

What's cooking, good looking?

Mmm!

Ain't half bad.

Need a little
longer on that heat.

Why you got us all out here, Ma?

We gon' wait till
everybody show up.

Meantime, make yourself useful.

Take that roast out.

Hope you're late 'cause
you was at the library

catching up on your schoolwork.

Krystal told me
you came through.

Says you ain't been to school
since the new year started.

'Cause I'm done with school.

We always said you was gonna
graduate and go to college.

You said that, not me.

And you ain't graduate
yourself, neither.

All the shit you did
to me and had me do,

you thought I was just
gonna go to college

like a normal nigga?

Sometimes I really
think you crazy.

Yeah, sometimes I
think I'm crazy too.

Let me see them
fucking hands, nigga.

Lou-Lou, how are things
going at that club of yours?

Don't know for sure.

Ain't really trying to be
around liquor right now,

so Shirley, white lady,
she, uh, holding it down.

He will not let you be tempted

beyond what you can bear.

But when you are tempted,
he will also provide

a way out so that
you can endure it.

Ma back on all
that biblical shit.

World must be coming to an end.

Laverne, are you settling
in now you're home?

Trying.

You need to do better
than just try, baby.

World's full of
feckless people trying.

You need to be doing,
not just trying.

Juke just got home.

Give her a damn break.

So what's going on, Ma?

Why are we here?

I got cancer.

Doctors found it in my kidney.

Tried chemo, but couldn't
stop it from spreading.

It's terminal.

So you're just gonna
tell us this shit

over fucking pot roast?

What?

You knew about this too?

Please. Sit down, Raquel.

No, you spent our whole
lives knocking us around,

lying to us, telling
us we ain't shit.

And you think a
fucking family dinner

gonna make shit
right in the end.

I'm not trying to
make anything right.

I'm just telling
you that I'm dying.

And you can take that,

do whatever the hell
you want with it.

Fuck this.

If you're
lucky, you get to grow old,

do shit with your life,

maybe even have a
family of your own.

But even if you end up
being somebody's parent,

you never stop being
somebody's child.

And that's how you
came into this world.

And that's how you
gonna leave it.
