Junior took me to some place, The Butchers.
Mum, I rapped. [laughs]
I didn't even know I could do that.
Man...
Are you all right, Mum?
What do you want me to say, Vita?
I thought you came in here to apologize.
You didn't think to ask me about singing my own song?
I did it for you. I wanted it to be a surprise.
You never once thought to yourself what that song actually meant to me.
What happened back then.
Why I was there back then. Why I'm not there now.
Come. Sit by me.
I know people always say this, but...
I really was gonna be something, you know.
It was all planned out.
But just before... I got to release the song...
I found out I was pregnant with you brother.
Your dad told me that it would be impossible.
I believed him.
As soon as the baby was born,
I thought he was gonna get me started again.
But one day,
he took me up Lee High Road
and showed me Aria's Restaurant,
family-run West Indian takeaway.
I stepped one foot in that place 24 years ago...
and I've never left.
- Mum, I'm so... - It's fine.
It's fine, Vita. I don't need your sympathy.
I just need you to understand what I gave up.
I... I hope it works out for you,
but, uh...
chances are you'll end up in my position.
You should know what that cost.
