:22:01
I don't need
your school.

:22:03
I'm going in
the air force, man.

:22:06
Know what i'm saying?
:22:08
You know
what i'm saying?

:22:10
I told you, man.
:22:12
You ain't nobody.
:22:13
I'm gonna
get you, man.

:22:15
You ain't nobody.
:22:30
Next time it may be you.
:22:35
If you do no better
than they did,

:22:38
next time itwillbe you.
:22:40
They said this school
was dead

:22:43
like the cemetery
it's built on,

:22:45
but we call our eastside teams
ghosts, don't we?

:22:50
And what are ghosts?
:22:51
Ghosts are spirits
that rise from the dead.

:22:56
I want you
to be my ghosts.

:23:02
You are going to lead
our resurrection

:23:05
by defying
the expectation

:23:08
that all of us
are doomed to failure.

:23:12
My motto is simple.
:23:13
If you do not succeed in life,
:23:15
i don't want you
to blame your parents.

:23:18
I don't want you
to blame the white man.

:23:21
I want you
to blame yourselves.

:23:24
The responsibility
is yours!

:23:29
In two weeks,
we have a practice exam

:23:32
and the minimum basic
skills test on april 13th.

:23:37
That's 110 school days
from now,

:23:40
but it's not just about
those test scores.

:23:44
If you do not have
these basic skills,

:23:48
you will find yourselves
locked out,

:23:52
locked out
of that american dream

:23:55
that you see
advertised on tv,

:23:57
that they tell you
is so easy to get.
