a lot of good Insta stories.

You ain't viewed not one of them.

- Ari, this ain't about you.

I know that smell. It's that sex smell.

Ooh, did your celibate ass have a girl in here?

- Man, stop being stupid.

♪

- She came over,

and then we started drinking wine.

And then she put on "Jason's Lyric."

- Ooh, not "Jason's Lyric."

- She got all emotional when Jada got shot.

And then next thing I know, I start comforting her.

And then I started kissing her on her neck,

and then her panties fell off. - Damn.

- I feel like God tested me last night and I failed.

- I think you passed with flying colors.

God wouldn't have sent her ass over here

looking good and smelling good

if he didn't want you to partake.

You needed that shit, and it's good cardio.

- Look, can't you confess your sins

and ask God to forgive you? - It's not that easy, man.

I can't be out here breaking promises to God.

- That's why I only talk to God once a month,

so ain't no confusion.

- Remember your sermon, man.

You're not supposed to be perfect.

You're human. Don't be so hard on yourself.

- I've officially become the minister

who doesn't practice what he preaches.

♪

- ♪ Can we talk

- I've been praying about it, and I think I need

to tell Elaine we can't be friends.

- Why would you do that?

- Because the devil is using her

to steer me off my righteous path.

- Why can't you be righteous and ratchet every now and then?

If somebody created a religion like that,

I'd be testifying every Sunday.

- A life of dignity comes with sacrifice.

- Being dignified is overrated. - [sniffs]

Yo, yo, what is that smell? - Mm.

- Oh, shit, it's me. - Yo,

you know you only say "shit" when shit is real, right?

- See, that's what happens.

One transgression leads to another.

- Just go take a bath, a ho bath,

put some deodorant on, whatever.

Just do something about that smell.

- Yeah, your house is funky enough.

We ain't trying to smell you too.
