More Than Just A Couple Minutes

You get raised a certain way, in a certain environment, with certain values. Old school parents. Minority underdogs. I've got nothing but respect for them. They know how to fight. Scraping a life together out of nothing. Making it. Surviving. Doing every last damn thing to improve. They're role models. I'd be lying if I didn't say it. They taught all those things to me. You get knocked down? You get back up. And you sure as hell go back for more.

That's what I've gotta face. My life has taken a turn they don't like. My life's taken a couple turns they don't like. They come around though. Just gunna take time. Always does. Can't do anything else though. My life... My parents. I want 'um both.

Dee's here. She drove me over. "You want me to stay, Renee?"

Hell yeah.

"No. It's gunna take more than just a couple minutes." I get out of the car and walk across the street.

She's still waiting when I'm done.
