Kanye is the grumpy, homeless, obnoxious, drunken loser of the neighborhood.  He never gets too disrespectful with the community, he's just that annoying guy that everyone knows.  You guys know what I'm talking about. Every neighborhood has to have one.  My old hood had two of em'. Ms. Jackie and Jon Jon. 

​

Anyway, one evening while completely hammered he gets pressed by a few teenagers.  Instead of ignoring them, thinking he's Luke Cage, Kanye ends up getting fucked up and left on the curb of the street.  He wakes up a few days later in the hospital.  Broken arm, some wounds, they got em' good.  After waking up, the doctor gives him an update on what happened, followed by some shitty news.  After some blood tests, it was discovered that Kanye is dying from liver failure.  Or maybe some other shit.  Regardless, he finds out he's terminally ill without much time left to live. In denial, or I guess avoidance, Kanye storms out the hospital and heads to the liquor store.  (Is that possible? Can one just, leave like that? I've seen in it movies and tv shows before so fuck it, it's possible here. Political correctness my ass)

​

Arriving at his pearly gates, he's struggling to open the door.  A young boy walking by sees this and holds the door open for him.  Not paying him much mind, Kanye says thanks buys his bottle and well, you guessed it, get's belligerent to the point of passing out on the curb.  Waking up in the hospital again? No.  Just wakes up hungover feeling like shit coughing up blood and what not.  

​

Kanye then decides to visit the doctor once more but waits to see him outside the hospital.  Finally catching the doc, look man. I'm not here to be treated for whatever the fuck you mentioned the other day.  I just need some painkillers for my arm.  Doc refuses to help him out unless he makes an appointment.  Getting tight, Kanye changes the subject and asks out of curiosity how much time does he potentially have left.  About 2 months.  Less if you continue to take care of yourself under the same conditions.  

​

Taking the news for what it is, he leaves and ends up on a bench crying his ass off.  Same kid from before passes by and asks him why he's crying.  Huh? Nothing. Leave me alone kid.  Kid's mom sees him talking to Kanye and pulls him away saying not to talk to strangers and what not.  Kanye starts some shit saying you don't have to get so defensive about it they start arguing, shit ends, she bounces. 

​

Roaming the late night streets, Kanye ends up crashing on some steps.  Next morning he's woken up by a priest telling him he can't stay there. While the priest is on the phone, Kanye hears him saying he's looking for someone to paint the hallways at a reasonable price.  Figuring he can use the cash and distraction, Kanye interrupts and says he'll do it.  The priest denies him pointing out his fucked up arm.  Please I'll even do it for free.  If I can stay here I won't drink while on the job.  Kanye starts explaining his situation.  Priest, aiight bet.  We'll see how this works out.  Why the fuck would a priest hire a bum with a broken arm? Also why would a priest decide to paint the hallways during the school year and not during the summer? Because, well just because it's convenient as fuck at the moment for us.

​

First week on the job, Little kid that keeps popping up approaches Kanye calling him out on crying the other day.  Kid's name is Charlie.  Charlie asks why he was crying.  I'm sick.  So take some medicine.  I don't have money.  So find some money.  Little Charlie, so innocent, so pure, so full of life...annoys the fuck out of Kanye in the beginning.  Eventually they build a bond and Charlie helps Kanye distracted from his sickness.  

​

One day during recess, and Kanye's break, Charlie is getting bullied by a group of kids.  Kanye rushes to Charlie's defense and scolds the kids.  Not knowing his place, Kanye gets in trouble for it and warned if he interacts with the kids like that again he's back out on the streets.  Later on that week, Charlie sees Kanye working and thanks him for helping out.  Kanye says no problem and goes on to tell him those kids are losers and not going to be anyone when they get older.  Kanye then makes Charlie promise him that he'll always do good and stay in school.  Even college, mentions to grow up and be a lawyer or something.  Charlie, not grasping where Kanye's going with the whole message of his monologue just yeahs him and mentions the talent show coming up.  Charlie wants Kanye to go and see him perform a dance routine he's been practicing.  Kanye gives him his word and they shake hands.

​

Not feeling any better and realizing he's almost done with work, Kanye's unsure what his next move is but not too worried about it all.  The day of the talent show is here and it's the same day Kanye finishes up the painting job.  After school everyone heads to the auditorium excited for what acts are to be seen.  Kanye sees the priest and thanks him for everything and surprises him with an envelope with cash, regardless of the original agreement that was made.   There's a scene in here somewhere with Kanye and Charlie's mom and Kanye apologizing for being a dick.  Momma dukes apologizes as well and thanks Kanye for defending her boy the other day.  His act is up next and home boy kills it.  He sees Kanye standing in the back and they each give a thumbs up to each other.  The winners are then announced and our boy Charlie won first place.  Filled with joy, Charlie runs to his mom showing his trophy but looking everywhere for Kanye.  We then cut to Kanye walking off, drinking into his flask.
