Vincent. Come on, sweetie.

Good morning.

Let's get up. Time to get ready for school.

It's gonna be a great day today.

All right, let's see what we got here.

- I need help. I can't tie this. - Okay, you know what?

After you brush your teeth, your daddy will help you, okay?

Come on, let's go.

Come on, let's go.

Hurry up.

Hey, uh, sweetie. I am going to need you to...

- Thank you. - Mm-hmm.

Pick him up today, okay?

- Okay. - All right.

- More overtime? - Yeah.

Maxine, she gave me her shift. You know we need it.

Yeah.

Kurt's got some business he wants to run by me.

So I'mma go over there today and see what he talkin' about.

- Kurt ain't shit. - It's your brother-in-law.

I don't care if he's Jesus. I don't trust that nigga.

Don't be late, okay?

- Okay. - All right.

It's time to eat!

- Good morning, Vincent. - Good morning, Mom.

So, you excited for the first day of school?

Yeah, I guess.

Your daddy wrote us, said he got the pictures that we sent.

Said you gettin' real big. You gonna shoot right by us.

Hey, he really wishes he could be here.

I know.

Here are your morning announcements.

This year's homecoming disco dance is this Friday from...

Vince, we're ready for you.

My Young Black Scholars.

We're here to combat erasure,

combat prejudice.

And the only way we can do that

is with an open dialogue, sharing our stories.

This month, we have exceptional speakers,

all alumni.

Most importantly, all strong Black voices.

First up, we have one of our very own,

Vince Staples.

How you all doing? Hmm.

My name is Vince, um, Staples.

Can I go to the bathroom?

Yeah, go ahead.

My bad, what was I sayin'?

You know, I went to this school when I was a kid, like you.

How much you want?

Like an eighth?

Good-looking.

Trying to match?

I'm not trying to shit.

All right.

Oh, this some kill.

I know. I'm El Chapo, nigga.

- What class you got right now? - YBS.

Vince Staples in there giving a speech or something.

Vince Staples? Who's that?

I don't know.

I gotta get back before Miss Hathaway start tripping.

I had my fair share of mistakes, ups and downs,

but all in all,

it was worth it.

Wow, that was so captivating.

We needed your story, your voice.

Great job.

Next week...

...we will be having a discussion with tennis icon,

our very own Billie Jean King.

Come on.

What's up?

My dad knows you.

Yeah? Who's your dad?

His name's Vincent too.

He said when he was little, you guys were in the same class.

- They gave you both nicknames. - What was his?

White Boy.

Your dad's white?

No.

I don't remember him. Tell him his friend...

You're not friends.

Wait, wait. He had a afro?

Yeah, like a young Michael Jackson.

Same voice too.

So let me get this straight.

You just ran into a little nigga with a Huey Freeman afro,

who say his dad, who's a nigga named White Boy,

got some type of childhood animosity?

Shit, take this from a nigga in jail, bro. You in danger.

I don't know. Maybe he walked to school with us or something.

Nigga, I ain't walked to school with you a day in our life.

Hey, gotta go.

Hey, Dad.

Your friend's here.

Fuck!

Fuck! Get in the car.

Put your seatbelt on. Your seatbelt. Seatbelt. Seatbelt.

Shit!

Fuck!

Hello.

...as his funeral dirge.

But the Lord had something better for Elijah.

Is, uh, the open house today?

...swooped down and carried him into glory without his...

Top drawer on the right.

God has something better for you as well.

Salvation, if he can get you to see it.

Maybe you're a drunkard, an adulterer, a prostitute, a liar...

Problem?

It's only six shots.

Our lord Jesus Christ fed 5,000 with five loaves and two fish.

Jesus said, "Come to me."

Not to the church, to me.

Not to a creed, to me.

Not to a preacher, to me.

Not to evangelists...

Thank you.

Not to a priest, to me. Not to a pope.

"Come to me, and I will give you rest."

Faith in Jesus Christ...

Damn!

Dad? What's wrong?

- Remember your cousin Quinn? - Yeah.

Remember that one time we all went and played laser tag for his birthday?

We had fun, didn't we?

Yeah, so right now, Dad is playing laser tag.

Grown-up laser tag.

Can I play?

When you get older.

Here. Um, why don't you play a game and put those headphones on?

Fuck!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Yes, Junior?

I'm hungry. Could we go to Happy Boy?

And yet another great oldie.

Now, before we get to the traffic report,

we wanna send a special prayer out to all those in the Beach.

There's been a series of shootings reported since this morning.

Oh no. You really hate to see it. When will the violence stop?

I don't know. But while we wait, here's another little ditty.

This is "Shotgun" by Junior Walker & the All Stars.

♪ Shoot 'em for he run now ♪

♪ Do the jerk, baby... ♪

My bad.

♪ Do the jerk now, hey! ♪

♪ Put on your red dress ♪

Welcome to Happy Boy Grill, where every burger come with cheese.

What you want?

How you doing? Uh, can I get a Junior Bacon Burger with fries?

Dad? I want a milkshake.

Son, didn't you have a dessert at school today already?

Look, I told you we're not doing no extra sweets.

And a small chocolate shake, please.

Shake machine broke.

Thank you.

Keep it.

Ah, shit!

Hey, Dad's gotta take care of something real fast. All right?

I need you to wait here for a few minutes. Then guess what?

- We're gonna go get some ice cream. - Ice cream?

Yeah, some ice cream.

Hey, put your headphones on.

Remember me?

Yeah.

It's different when it's real, ain't it?

I know you in here, nigga!

Come on, Vince.

Come on, Vince.

I just wanna say hello.

What happened to all that gangsta shit in the videos? You're not like that!

I'm like that.

Yeah, I'm like that.

Vinnie...

Why you running?

Come on, Vince.

Vince...
