I couldn't take that
in front of the guys so I had to...

:18:05
...I had to jet.
:18:07
They know you can't run forever.
:18:09
You tell it.
Finally, when I made it back home...

:18:12
...when I got tired of running,
she whupped my ass so good...

:18:15
...that I still hate wearing belts.
:18:17
The worst beating I ever got,
I was about 8.

:18:21
My mother was a Baptist,
so we was in church on Easter.

:18:24
This lady sitting next to me
catches the Holy Ghost.

:18:27
Old gal was hooting and howling, talk
about "Thank you, Jesus. Thank you!"

:18:32
And she steps on
my brand-new Stacy Adams.

:18:35
Only thing I could think to do...
:18:38
...was to kick her
in her big, fat bubble behind.

:18:41
No, tell me you didn't.
:18:43
The congregation froze.
Even the lady stopped hollering.

:18:46
Next think I know, my mother
grabs the collection plate...

:18:49
...and starts whupping me
upside my head with it.

:18:52
I tried to tell her
the Spirit made me kick her...

:18:55
...but that made her hit me more.
:18:57
One time I stole some candy
from the grocery store...

:19:01
...and the manager saw me,
caught me red-handed.

:19:04
He calls my mom, she comes
to the grocery store and...

:19:07
...you know, my mom must have
lectured me for two or three hours.

:19:12
Lectured you?
:19:14
You didn't get a beating?
:19:17
Not a smack or nothing?
:19:19
His mother's white.
:19:21
She's white, so what?
:19:23
I'm just telling him.
:19:24
Is it relevant?
:19:26
- Your mother's just different.
- You have a problem?

:19:28
No, I don't have a problem.
:19:30
She's different. Our mothers
whup ass. Yours lectures.

:19:33
That's all.
:19:35
- Nothing personal.
- Nothing personal.

:19:36
You're a sensitive,
sensitive brother. Sensitive.

:19:41
What do you do for work?
:19:42
I work with kids at risk.
:19:46
What kind of kids?
:19:47
Gangbangers.
:19:49
Good luck on that, brother.
:19:52
I meet them on my job every day.
:19:54
Trying to get through to them
is like talking to a brick wall.

:19:59
What do you do?
