The fuck you think
was gonna happen?

Jah robbed the nigga.

Everybody loved Jah Son.
Everybody.

What up, nigga?

Why you coming at me like that?

You know Jah was my man too!

Tell Cressy we'd rather starve...

than to fuck with y'all niggas.

You and D just burned
that bridge with Haze, right?

Couldn't put out
for another key anyway.

Lost all our shit in the fire.

It ain't about
taking out a single enemy.

It's about taking out
the entire competition.

Yo, the money? Nothing?

Fuck!

All that money's
going towards that lawyer.

If I can argue
that it's for personal use,

you'll get a lighter sentence.

I ain't no goddamn crackhead.

You are going to admit
to being the biggest crackhead

if it means
you get to come home.

Why don't make music
with my brother anymore?

Yo, I'm out here
putting in work.

It look like I got time
to be messing with all that?

- Rap battle, son.
‐ $5,000.

Surprised to see
your ass, nigga.

You know I'm just trying
to snatch that cake,

know what I mean?

That's to get your brother out.

Does Bobby know
you're fucking his sister?

Hey girl, I like your skirt.

Hey, yo.

Damn, y'all looking
fine as hell today.

You know you wanna
give me that number.

Ain't nobody gonna give you shit.

Come on, why you gotta be like that?

Because numbers lead to fucking,

and you ain't ready for all of this.

Really?

Why don't you just
give me them digits

and we could find out?

- Unless you scared.
‐ "Scared"?

Boy, if I gave you a piece of this,

you'd lose your mind.

- I'm gonna call you.
‐ Yeah?

No.

- He ain't shit.
- He cute, though.

"Cute"? Nah, he fine as hell.

Been trying to get up in me
for I don't know how long.

For real?

I might let him in
once or twice at the prom.

What?

I'm too loud for you?

Can't concentrate on your book?

This bitch on
some preppy white girl shit.

Reading Little Women.

Well, the back of the bus
is for niggas.

You right about that.

So you a smart‐ass bitch?

I don't think you know
who you fucking with.

I'm fucking with some bitch
who gonna let that nigga

"slide up in her
once or twice at prom,"

end up with his baby,

and then two months later,
he gonna end up in jail

while she end up riding
the back of this bus

for the rest of her life.

Yo, it's Dennis.

Hey, you know
I can see you, right?

Divine ain't here yet.

Yeah, well, he told me
to meet him here.

So I'm supposed to wait outside?

Come on, it's baking out here.

I got seven minutes of quiet

before hurricane Randy
gets here, so shh.

Yo, chill, I'll be quiet.

What you got?
Like, homework or something?

Geometry quiz tomorrow.

Well, maybe I could help you.

You know, I be knowing
triangles and shit.

"Circumference"?

Yo, ain't that
what the Jews be getting?

Hey, yo, what's good with the TV?

That's just 'cause
it's hooked up to the VCR.

When Randy gets home, he likes
to watch his, Voltron

and, Speed Racer.

Yeah, my brothers be the same way.

Yo... Shaolin versus Wu Tang?

This my shit right here.

I been trying...
I been trying to rent this

from the video store
for, like, months now.

Yeah, my brother
ain't giving that one back.

- Yo, let me borrow it.
‐ That's Bobby's.

Bobby gon' let me borrow it.

- Yo, what up, Randy?
‐ What's up?

‐ How's school?
‐ Good.

You spill it, you watch it from the kitchen.

Ain't nobody gonna spill nothing.

Okay.

Rie, fix me something to eat.

And put ice in my drink.
The heat's killing me already.

Yo, what up?

I was just with Power.

Me and him... we done.

Hey, yo, what you mean "y'all done"?

We ain't working together no more.

Yo, but son...

I don't want to speak on it.
Not now.

I need you to be
my right‐hand man now, D.

I got you.

It's nothing.

Helps if you scrape the food
off the plate, Vine.

I'm putting it in the sink.
What else do you want?

If you don't
scrape it, then we got bugs.

Hey, yo, just leave it.

Come on, I'm dragging your ass
out in the heat.

Yo, let's go!

Not in here.

My brother only smokes
in the basement.

What would Vine
and Bobby think?

Me being here with you.

I don't know.

You wanna tell them?

Why not?

Boy, stop being stupid.

I heard you were great
at the Park Villa last week.

Yeah, well, I lost, so‐‐

- That's not the point.
‐ Then what's the point?

Hey, yo, wouldn't you...
wouldn't you rather

be with a dude
that's more like you?

Into books and shit?

If I was, I would be.

Come on.

We gotta get up.

I'm tired, Divine.

Tired of paying
for collect phone calls.

Tired of paying for your lawyer.

Driving across town
just to see my son,

who could take a plea deal.

It's not just you up in here.

It's us.

Your family.

Once you realize that...

maybe you do the right thing.

I'll take the deal.

All done here.

'Cause you got to understand
everything in life,

'cause everything in life is.

A man must obtain knowledge
of himself

in order to survive here
in the wilderness

of North America.

He must know his ledge
before he falls off the edge

into the pits
of this civilization.

Black people
are the original people

and father of civilization,

and we out living
other than our what?

Self!

Stop ringing that damn bell
of Nimrod.

The brother's trying to teach.

Yo, Rakeem!

Need some help, young blood?

No, I'm good.

Get your mind together right.

You know, I've had this tie
since I was... eight years old.

I still can't get it right.

- So why you trying now?
- Applying for jobs.

I need money, and this seems
to be the place to be.

Sure is.

For this, that, and the other.

Looks to me
like you got a whole lotta

weight on your spirit.

But there ain't gonna be
no excuse

for the ass whipping
I'm about to lay on you.

I just got
an ass whooping at this battle.

If I would have won,
I would have been on course.

I wouldn't be sitting here

tying this fucking noose
around my neck.

Well, let me tell you something.

The reason why most people lose

is because they can't see
the win right in front of them.

Your move!

Can you, hand me the butter?

Hey, Bobby.

Hey. What up, Dennis?

- Yo, what up?
‐ What you doing here?

So I was, brainstorming some ways...

for us to make some dough.

I wanted to run
some ideas past you

before we both run out
of food in the fridge.

And I said he might as well
stay for dinner, so...

All right.

Smells good.

Is Mommy gonna be here
for dinner?

Nah, she working
a double tonight.

- Randy, you ready to eat?
- After my show!

So, I figured out a way
for us to make some money.

What?

You know how them
Wall Street cats

be coming up to me in the park
asking me for weed?

Crack ass crackers.

Yo, consistently copping, right?

And the Jakes don't be around
stopping shit.

‐ And?
‐ We gotta get in on that.

Wait, what?

That's the hustle we need.

It's foolproof.

No 5‐0, no real comp.

Your shit is stress‐free.

Way fucking easier
than moving blue tops.

Literally, a walk in the park.

Better be rinsing that dish off.

Hey, yo, I don't know, son.

I think we need
to talk to Vine first

and see what he think.

What? Man...

wasn't you the one
who told me Vine ain't here.

We in charge now.

All right.

You been brainstorming,

so let's hear what you got.

Nah, nah, nah.

I mean, your idea
is more thought out, but...

it could work.

But, yo, how we gon'‐‐
how we gon' get the money

to buy the weed?

What up, Momma?

I can already tell
you niggas want something.

Hey, you ain't even
gotta do nothing, all right?

We just‐‐we just need
a extra couple rolls of film.

See?

I tried to be nice once

and now y'all trying
to take advantage.

Yo, look, we iced out,
all right?

We just sold my brother's car.
We ain't got no money.

I said no.

Hey, where's Shotgun at?

I don't know.

Something happened
with the forklift.

He messed up his ankle.
He ain't been back since.

Fuck this shit, we'll find
another way to get the weed.

Did you say "weed"?

Thanks for all this film, Momma.

Thank you.

How much you paying wholesale?

We giving it to you
for half a that.

Got a... couple extra
I need to get rid of.

Thank you.

Hey, yo.

How much you gonna give me
for it?

All right.

This one is for good fortune,

and that one is for prosperity.

Hey, yo, what the hell is this?

It's supposed to be a quarter.

That's none of that
rabbit feed, papi.

That's stronger.

That got more of that...

T‐H‐C.

‐ That's right, T‐H‐C.
‐ Yo, whatever, son.

We... ain't paying you all of this for this.

Then don't.

All right.

Hey, yo, let me get‐‐let me
get one of them money joints.

And a lucky one, too.

This shit better be lucky.

If Power disrespects you,
he disrespects me.

- I'm your right hand.
- You buggin'.

He didn't disrespect.

Me and Power had a disagreement.

It's business.

We get Stapleton,
he gets Park Hill.

Hey, yo, fuck what he get.

Son, if he ain't with us,
he against us.

Know what I mean?

I'm repping for the team.

Not everything needs
to be a contact sport, D.

Leave Power alone.

Fine.

I won't touch him.

That's my word.

What you want, baby?

Want some water?

What you need?

This?

What?

Come on, spit it out.

Wasn't strong enough.

But...

I can't take much more of this shit.

What did you say, Dustin?

Good morning, Ramona.

How are you today?

Hey, Bobby.

What up, little man?

There'd better be more weed in there...

'cause we ain't gonna
make nothing

off that skimpy shit
we just copped.

We on our last box
of oatmeal, yo.

It ain't weed...

but it's gonna have to do.

Nigga, tea?

We cut the weed with it.

Those white boys
won't know the difference.

What's up?

What's up?

You still looking for
what you was looking for?

I am.

I'm not standing here
because I wanna yell!

I'm not standing here
because I want to fight!

I stand here
because it's my duty

to teach the dumb,
deaf, and blind.

They taught you that
heaven was above your head

and you must die to reach it!

We say,
heaven is what you make it

and hell is what you got
to go through!

So you don't have to die
to see heaven...

When you could have a piece
of your heaven

right here on Earth
while you living!

Nah, keep the change.

- And I follow.
- So I follow.

I follow the Scientists,
and I do solemnly employ that.

Do you understand?

So we can see the truth,
and be not a product...

of the enslavement
of the original man.

Do what you deserve.

Whassup?

What up, son?

‐ How shit moving out there?
‐ Shit's bubbling, son.

Yo, we keep catching like this,

we looking at like ten a day.

Shit, yo, you brought
the summer whip out.

‐ Yeah, man.
- Well, you know, son.

But listen,
on your next bag up, right?

I want strictly dimes. No nicks.

You know what I'm saying?

With no other
competition out there,

fiends ain't gonna have no
choice but to cop, you feel me?

- That's real.
- Yeah.

All right.

Wait here?

No, nigga, do you.

What that mean?

This ride is yours.

Christmas came early, my nigga.

Hold on, what...

Son!

What's that?

It's the fucking key to the city.

Got the whip outside,
you know what I mean?

Let's take a joyride.
Go get some honeys.

I can't, man.
I'm working on this beat.

That fucking battle
got me all fucked up.

Yo, son‐‐

Really trying
to, you know, step it up.

Forget all that.
Forget all that.

You‐‐I'm telling you, I got
the Benz outside right now,

and you over here still talking
about battles, kid?

Come on, man. Let's go.

You hear that shit?

You telling me that you not
trying to hop on this beat?

I hear your voice
all over this shit, nigga.

Nah, I'm good, son.
I'm good, I'm good.

All right.

Yeah.

Maybe another time, then?

Yeah, maybe. Maybe.

All right, enjoy that shit.

- More makeup?
- Hush.

I have clients that would kill
for those lashes.

Randy, who you
bring up in this house?

Aunty Laurie!

You staying for Christmas?

Yes, it was a last‐minute thing!

‐ Yes!
‐ My God, look at you.

How are you, sweetie?

Your mama still treating you
like a field slave?

‐ You have no idea.
‐ Well, just relax, okay?

You'll be paroled soon enough.

College next year, right?

What are you studying? Theater?

Where'd you come up with that?

Honey, I remember
like it was yesterday.

You performing
for the whole family

for the holidays.

I mean, now, half your audience
was high or drunk,

but I saw a star,
even back then.

I don't remember any of that.

Okay, you used to rustle

through your mama's closet
pulling out clothes,

dressing up your brothers

for parts you wanted
to cast them in.

Okay, you even got Devine's
serious ass in a dress.

Yeah!

I wish I had my Polaroid.

I do remember that.

Man.

The Good Earth.

How is that?

I saw that movie
when I was in Detroit.

- I like it.
- Gotcha.

You know, Detroit's a hard city.

I mean, but it's a great city.

Got stabbed the last time
I was there,

but fuck if I ain't
get the last laugh.

Bitch ain't never gonna
do the cabbage patch again.

You were stabbed?

D‐town, that's your city.

I would love to go
to the Motown Museum.

To walk those same streets
as Berry Gordy.

I miss Motown.

Damn sure better
than today's music.

Nasty‐ass nursery rhymes on top
of somebody else's song.

There's some good stuff.

Well, Detroit is your city.

You'll get there.

You got that same run
in your eyes that I got.

Once that got you,
ain't nothing holding you down.

‐ We'll see.
‐ Y'all done yet?

I'm done when I'm done.

- Hey, Miss Gloria.
- How you doing, baby?

I'm chilling, I'm chilling.

Get out of the street!

I got snacks upstairs.

- How's your mama?
‐ She doing all right.

I just wanted to give her
a bit of a break,

know what I mean?

Lord knows she needs it.

Y'all excited to go to the zoo?

We... already...

in a zoo.

You.

‐ This one crazy right here.
- Thank you again.

- Anytime.
‐ Yeah, and make sure...

- make sure they get some snacks.
- Okay.

- All of the kids.
- Well, thank you, baby.

- God bless your heart.
‐ No problem.

Be good, all right?

Didn't I tell you?

You'd better not
go in that street.

You redecorating in here or something?

What's going on?

What you think?

It's nice.

Look... look what I got you.

My God.

Just like in the commercial.

I already ran your bath, so...

it's ready for bubbles.

I know I haven't made it
an easy ride for y'all.

It's okay.

But when I look at my Dennis...

I know I did something right.

Take me away.

Girl, and then
they started shooting.

But it was just a .22, so
wasn't nobody scared, though.

Now, had it been a 0.44...

who's that coming in?

Laurie?

My God!

Why didn't you tell me
you were coming?

I would have... gotten the bed ready.

No, don't worry about it.

You know, I'm staying
with a friend anyway.

Thank God.

What's his name this time?

What you mean, "this time"?

Hi, Mama.

- All right.
- What did she do to you?

What did you do?

So he's taking the plea deal?

That's what he said.

Only took an ass whooping
till he came around.

Yeah, well, you know,

black men don't have
many options out here,

so, you know, they stuck
in the stereotype.

Well, you still got time

to get your little Randy
on the right course.

That boy worry me too.

See too much
of his father in him.

Y'all talk?

Jerome? I hear from him.

Anytime his black ass
need money.

Yeah, right.
That's Jerome for you.

Him and ain't none
of his people worth a damn.

Voted the most
undependable niggas

from the Undependable Nigga
Association of America.

I just think you deserve
better than that, sis.

Man's trying his best.

Well, that's the difference.

He's trying. You're doing.

Trust me when I tell you,
a mama‐less man

ain't worth a quarter to nobody.

Get it, baby. Go on.

What is this?

We just about to go
get something to eat.

- You boys wanna come?
- No, I think we good.

Me and Dennis about to go
and handle something.

All right. Let me change.

Let me change.

Yeah.

She crazy.

So...

How long have you two
been a thing?

Thanks.

Nah, thank you.

For the food.

For always holding it down.

Yo, D.

Like you're dumb,
deaf, and blind.

- Like you don't have a care...
- Hey, thanks a lot, man.

Yo, yo, my son.

‐ You've been busy.
‐ Hey, who you telling?

Yo, these cats gonna dry me out.

Yo, and they paying
three times the cost.

And didn't even have
to wear a tie.

I sell what I sell,
and they sell what they sell.

Both pay the rent.

It's all green
at the end of the day, right?

- Got time for a game?
- Yeah.

But I'm feeling good today.
You might not have a chance.

Long as I'm above ground,

I got a chance.

Nobody
can understand these things but you.

So we got to understand
all these things

that come to pass.

That we all are here together
for one common cause:

for each other.

All we got is each other!

We ain't have nothing else
out here.

So rise and raise yourself
from the dead,

and people say...

No, I'm not brainwashed!

I'm out here cleansing their...

Shit.

That's what happens

when you step away for too long.

The mind falters.

It's them damn Five Percenters

always running they mouths,

talking all that gibberish
around Manhattan.

It's throwing off my focus.

Well, maybe you should listen.

When it comes to religion,
there's some that believe

that it's all about
the fear of death.

That man created fairytales
to calm the ego,

tell you that
there's more to it than this.

A pawn behaves like a pawn

because it believes it's a pawn.

And you must‐‐

A king rules
because he commands power.

Both are aspects of the mind.

The world will tell
the black man...

‐ So don't be a product! He's a pawn.
‐ Of their slavery!

The white man, he's a king.

Be what you deserve!

But those gentlemen over there?

They tell you...
that you're the player

and that you move the pieces.

That you're a God.

You're living right here today.

So understand your powers and
understand your existence...

The five flavors dull the taste.

The five tones deafen every ear.

The five colors,
they all blind the eye.

But they do not pass.

They are all eternal.

- All things come to us...
- Hey, yo.

Without

that...

Why you pausing shit, fam?

Y'all heard what that nigga just said?

The five colors blind the eyes.

The five tones deafen the ears.
That shit is crazy, right?

Come on, son.

And when the fuck
you start listening

to what these niggas are saying?

Fast forward to the action,
you know what I'm saying?

No, yo, look,
I've seen the fights

in this flick
about a hundred times.

What that old monk just said?
That shit was profound.

Yo, that shit was kind of deep.

Nigga, pussy's deep.

Hey, yo, you smoking too much
of the comfrey shit, B.

Make you think like... like them
Buddha heads or some shit.

Damn, son.

Warn a nigga before you go
all bright light on us.

‐ Fuck are you?
- A gremlin, nigga?

‐ Yeah, nigga, Gizmo.
‐ Yo, you stupid, son.

I think that tone
just deafened my ears.

- Word.
- Hell yeah, nigga.

Man, I told y'all.

That shit was fucking
inspirational, right?

- Word.
‐ Does sound kind of right.

Yeah.

Right.

Hell yeah, nigga.

Yeah, and then your ass,
you come in next,

and you hop on the second verse,
you know what I'm saying?

Yo, I'm out.

What?

Where you going, nigga?

You ain't trying
to lay down a verse?

I know you was feeling it when them
shorties was clapping for you at the Villa.

Hey, yo, as long as my gun
clap, I ain't gotta rap.

Shit! No, no, no!

Ma, Ma!

Mama, no, no!

No, no.

No, shit.

No, Ma.

Ma, Ma! Ma! Ma!

- So this guy on that shit.
- Drunk as a skunk, probably.

Who knows what else.

I swear to God, he thought
I was Debbie Allen.

What did you do?

- I smacked his ass.
‐ What?

- What's wrong with Debbie Allen?
‐ I love Debbie Allen.

I smacked his ass
'cause I heard him

run that same shit
to my girlfriend

five minutes earlier.

Drunk ass white boy
couldn't tell the difference

between three
different black women.

So he's attracted
to black women.

Okay, I don't need my man
attracted to black women.

I need him attracted to me.

Beautiful.

So, beautiful,
what do you think?

My gosh. I love it!

Not too dark for me, right?

Honey, you are only allowed

to say if you like
the color or not, okay?

Okay.

All right, now wait a minute.

I need to get another brush.

I got it.

- Diggs house.
- Yo, Rie.

- I need you.
‐ Dennis?

What's wrong?

My mom, she, like...
she got fucked up, all right?

She... she in an ambulance right now.

I need you to take care
of Darius and Darren.

I'm gonna leave the door
unlocked, 'cause I gotta go.

I'll be there as soon as I can.

I'm sorry.

I have to go.

That's okay, sweetie.

Go take care of your man.

Just make sure that you take
care of yourself too, all right?

My God.

Baby, you look beautiful.

- Thanks.
- But where you off to?

Just to take this fabulous
new look out for a walk.

You know, just a little
aunty‐niece bonding time.

Well, all right.

Bye, sis.

You'll find me?

Is...

my mother...

gonna die?

Listen...

Don't say things like that.

And who are you?

You look beautiful.

Thanks.

This might be the first time I see
you without a book in your hand.

You're, like, always reading.

Yeah, I've been trying
to look up more.

Watch where I'm stepping.

Mama says I'm gonna trip

if I don't watch
where I'm going, so...

See, I always look down when I walk.

Never reading
and still be tripping.

Yeah, but you be reading, like,
Moby Dick and shit.

I could barely get through Dr. Seuss.

Hold on.

Some of them Dr. Seuss words
is hard.

Yeah, and some
of them shits ain't real.

Fuck is a "spagoodle"... ‐

"Mamoodle shadoodle baboodle"?

This you?

Yeah, but I could
catch the next one.

No, no, I don't want
to hold you up.

Next one comes in 20 minutes.

Yeah, but Randy will be
wondering where you at, so...

Okay.

Good afternoon, how can I help you?

Empty it.

Empty the fucking register.

Give me all of this.

Honey, what's going on
out there?

- Shut the fuck up.
- I can't be p...

Get the fuck over here.

Get the fuck over here
right now.

Young man, you got
everything you needed.

- Please...
- On the ground.

- Please don't...
- I said get on the fucking ground!

- Son, listen...
‐ Your son's a bum!

Hey, yo, fuck your son!

Fuck it, come on!

Get over here, come on.

On the ground.

Okay.

And shut the fuck up...

before I put a hole
in the both of y'all.

Fuck.

Hey.

What's up?

I had Miss Gloria
pick up the boys.

How's she doing?

She'll be all right
in a couple days.

You hungry?

I'm sick of this.

What?

Of this.

I got these... these clothes.

I got these shoes.

This fucking rug,
this sound system.

All of this shit.

And I still ain't got nothing.

You got me.

That's funny to you?

Where is this going?

You think‐‐you think we gon'
get married and have kids?

Kids that turn out like‐‐
like Darius and Darren?

That's what you really want?

To deal with that
fucked up shit your whole life?

As long as I have you, yes.

You don't get it.

I thought you was the smart one.

Hey, yo, Shurrie.

Yo, everything all right?

How you doing today, young man?

Yeah, I'm chilling. Thank you.

What can I do for you?

My brother got one of those.

Yeah, my wife bought it for me,

but I don't need it just yet.

Still on my feet.

Or my one foot, rather.

Your brother had an accident?

No... no, he just got a condition.

I'm sorry.

‐ That's life.
‐ Yeah.

Lost my leg to a trip mine
in Vietnam.

See?

Damn, now that... that's fucked up.

I know, right?

Just some old dumb mine
I should have seen.

Lucky to be alive, though.

Came back to a life

many of my platoon mates
would have killed for.

Went to college,
opened my own business,

got a son.

- You... you do?
- Yeah.

That kid right there.

He ain't as smart as he looks.

Seem like he got
a good father, though.

Thank you. I like to think so.

Was a little rough on him
when he was a kid,

but I guess
that was the soldier in me.

Military turned me into a man,

but when I tried that way
on him?

It drove him right away.

I'm sure you tried your best.

You know, I always prayed
that if I had a son,

I could look at this thing
and think that in some way

I lost my leg
so he could have a better life.

And maybe he does.

But what's it matter if he
doesn't talk to me, right?

One second.

Yeah?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hold on.

Got you right here.

Yeah, you asked for six. I know.

Seven, eight?

We got it.

Yeah, I'll be here.

See you then.

All right, bye.

Now, what else
can I help you with?

Mathematics, you a fuckin'
genius, nigga, yo, fuck that.

Ladies and gentlemen, I need
you to put your hands together

for world‐wide international
producer.

Ladies and gentlemen,
please put your hands together

and show your love
for our brother and yours,

Mathematics!

Get on the line!
