A home.

A home in a place where sirens are heard from a mile away.

Cops on each corner. 

Gagbangers and potheads roaming.

A home on the streets of South Central. 

A home with a family. 

A family that's trapped.

Trapped in the grasp of a father.

A father unwilling to change. 

A father unwilling to leave this place.
