Cold winter nights in Massachusetts Shawn still lives with his mom and has a part time job with a 4 year old daughter and baby mama drama. Shawn figured he'd go to the club tonight because he's been stressed out. He put some of his flyest clothes on, two chains and a watch and started stunting for instagram. He went to get his keys then he heard a knock at his door. When he opened the door it was his baby mama and his daughter. His baby mama Tammy live with her mom also trying to make sure the baby is going to be alright. She's living check to check with no help because her mom is on edge and Tammy has nowhere else to look for money. Shawn said "what's up Tammy"? She said "I need to borrow a couple hundred dollars for Nina".
He replied "a couple hundred"? "I don't have that shit right now, money don't grow off of trees Tammy". She replied "nigga I swear you ain't shit, I regret that I ever met yo ass" Shawn replied and said "bitch I regret ever meeting yo ass too". Tammy snapped and said "nigga I asked you for the money cause this is for the baby you planted in me". "I can't do shit for myself because I'm living check to check and every bit of money I get I give it to our child". "But you all fresh to death about to go out with yo new bitch, I ain't jealous of yo ass either, cause she ain't gon ever look out for you like I did".
"I didn't sign up to be a single mother, I'm making sure she goes to daycare so I can go to work to provide for her when she has a father that wants nothing to do with us". "You helped me when she was first born but over time you started switching up and getting distant". "So you wanna talk about regret? I fucking regret you nigga". Shawn is just standing there rolling his eyes and he replied "I didn't sign up to be a father, let alone be with you". "We always had problems and you thought a baby was gon wash all our problems away"? "Hell naw so don't come at me with no bullshit Tammy".
"You were the one who trapped a nigga, you told me you was on the pill". Tammy tried to interrupt but Shawn over talked her. "I'm doing everything that I can for MY child, I love her to death but I'm not about to go around asking people for money especially my moms". "She raised me my whole fucking life, I'm not about to throw another kid on her". "I can't start selling drugs and doing illegal shit cause what's going to happen if I get caught"? "Im gon be looking through the glass in jail seeing my child". "So get off my dick about this yo".
Shawn slammed the door and Tammy walked away crying. Shawn didn't even wanna go to the club no more, he just laid in the bed and crashed. The next morning Tammy had to hurry and take Nina to day care, she's rushing and getting Nina inside of the car. She finally dropped her off then walked in the gas station and figured she'd play the lottery. She gets to work and she sits at her computer like any other normal day. She scratched the numbers off of the card and the numbers were 15,36,47,58,37,48.
Meanwhile Shawn is in his van just driving then he gets a call and it's Tammy. He declined the called and he pulled up to some place. It was along side of a building, when he got out the van he threw a mask on and pulled out a gun and walked inside of a bank. When he walked in he shot the two cops who were on duty. Shawn yelled "everybody get on the fucking floor right now, don't lose your life over no stupid shit".
