it's gone

You wanna dance?

Yeah.

I do.

You know what the worst

thing was about living with my mom?

It was the constant reminder

we weren't gonna make it.

Seeing her putting

more and more hours

to pay fewer and fewer bills.

Busting her ass

trying to work a system

that had let her down from day one.

Now my kid sister's

in trouble at school.

The teachers all decide

she's a bad kid.

She gets labelled and she's f***ed.

Because that's how the world

works for people like us.

If we let it, you know?

What?

You can sleep here if you want to.

Hold.

Open 42.

Watch out!

Hey, old timer.

You got anything to read?

Come on, I've been in the

hole for three weeks.

I'm going batshit.

I don't wanna be friends, guppy.

I've been down more than three

years, I ain't no fish.

JB...

Guillermo runnin' his mouth, man.

Punk ass said you snuck him

in the shower.

Wants to put a knife in your back.

So what?

So we should handle that.

Why does nobody test that guy?

'Cause that guy made it known

he didn't wanna be tested.

Motherf***er's got

status in the yard.

Killed five people inside and

saying he's done two more since.

Hold!

Planning a vacation?

Don't talk to me.

Why I'm right?

'Cause poetic seizures keep me

thinking in Morse code,

so I write all the Tory

hallucinations in sign language,

so you can see how it sounds

when I write, all right?

I write keys and escape plans

but chain gangs,

street gangs turn into literary

genius, am I right?

I rewrite, everybody start,

everyone have to write...

Yard's over!

Yo.

What's in Rio de "Janeerio"?

Shut up.

Hit.

Hit.

Somethin' better.

Somethin' better?

It's pronounced "Janeiro".

You've been?

Only in my mind.

I got this kid hurt.

There was a fight in the

showers and he got stabbed.

So?

So, I'm gonna

do something about it.

Oh, starting

a yard war is a good way

to make sure you don't

go back to the real world.

Maybe that's what you're scared of.

I'm not scared.

Oh, you think you different

than these other a**holes?

News for you, kid.

You're not.

Go!

Oh, sh*t!

Hey.

Um, can I get two grape cigarillos

and a pack of racks, please?

Do you have ID?

Oh... I think I forgot it at home.

Come on, we're friends aren't we?

Just take it.

What?

I don't want any trouble.

I've seen you around.

I know you deal drugs.

I'm not robbing you.

I'm paying, see?

I'm James.

Hey.

Come here.

Let's go somewhere and f***.

Uh-huh

It's a fly little low so

I thought you got that outfit

last week week

When you were shoppin'

Call it heavy

Fly while you catch up

on the latest

Hey yo, slow down.

Yo!

Are you deaf?

Hey, yo, slow down.

What, here?

Yo, pull the f*** over!
