  Will : What you tripping man I didn't let you go around me

  Marcus Stokes : I know your game Will. You let me go around you. If you was gon play like that why you didn't you just sit in the stands?

  Will : Hey man, look you impressed the scouts. You'll go to a division one college and you'll go pro. You'll be able to give your kid everything so what you beefing about?

  Marcus Stokes : Oh I get it. Because I got a kid, I'm some kind of charity case? Well let's get something straight here homie. My situation does not define who I am. I define... ..who I am

  Will : Yo man. I got lucky. Ok I got a rich uncle. You know a lot of brothers come from where we come from don't have those same opportunities man. That's your ticket.
