You can only push a person so far until the person you push ceases to exist.

That's what happened to me last week when everything I thought I knew blew

up in my face.

You no good.

Stop sleeping.

You a cheater and a bad one at that.

Keep looking and you gonna find it.

Shit hurts, Delonte.

It ain't like I didn't come home.

Till you make me something to eat.

I give you everything.

You think you slick, but you not.

That's your problem.

You need to relax.

The way you talk to me is just...

I'm not doing this no more.

I can't. Then don't.

I saw you with her.

I saw that shit.

Man, you wrong.

You sound crazy.

She my cousin.

So you say.

If you don't do this, I'm begging you.

Let me take you to our bed and do that thing you like.

I want you gone.

Gone.

Man, you know you can't ask me out.

That pussy begging me to.

Just get out.

Now.

Is this really what you want?

This'll make the 56th time we played this game.

Where I leave, find something warm and soft to dig into for a couple nights,

only for you to call with an excuse to bring me back home.

Most times lessons.

Not tonight.

You even gonna understand your nigga cheat and be good with it?

Well, we done.

Because at the end of the day, we both know.

Don't nobody want you but me and your son.

So what it's going to be?

That's how you talk to your woman?

Kelsey, I got this.

Just go to your room.

Ask him a question.

Remember your place, little nigga.

And if I don't?

Watch out.

Delonte. Go to my room and wait for me on the bed.

What the fuck?

I mean our room.

Well, he just disrespected me. Leave!

You get off on it, don't you?

What?

Disrespect. I'm your mother.

Remember that shit before you talk to me any kind of way. Where's the energy for

him? You not drunk!

How can you deal with it?

The way he treats you.

I deal with him because I get him.

With all his dysfunction, he feels like home.

Street love, hard and cold.

I don't expect you to understand anyway, but understand this.

If he ever took more from me than I could handle,

I would destroy everything he loved.

Yeah, all right.

Chelsea, you can do some evil, bloody thing,

and the name is love.

Trust.

Now get up out of my face.

The cake?

You know I don't allow you to eat in your room.

You good?

Don't nobody want to believe you or nothing?

Well, I guess we caught it. As long as you don't believe your own lie.

All right, get over here.

Oh, it's done.

Again?

Open that pussy, bitch.

Nigga, when I see you, it's on sight.

Then I'll make it easier for you.

School was off.

I had detention.

It was supposed to be simple.

Should have known that in my life, nothing ever is.

You were saying?

You were saying?

About it being off back?

Nigga, if you want to do something, do it.

Nah.

I've been patient this long.

I can wait.

Man, she done with you.

Let it be that.

Since when does a nigga care about what a bitch want? What?

You sound crazy.

You know what?

I think I am.

And you should be scared.

He was up here.

Look forward.

I'm scared.

You know I'm not gonna let nothing happen to you.

He ain't gonna hurt you. If anything, he gonna try to get at me.

What am I gonna do without you?

I'm good.

We good.

Trust me.

I'm going to

say thank you to both of you for

helping me do this.

I know I feel like we're doing this shit for nothing because we can't stunt.

But that's how women survive so long in the game.

Fat.

But plans are in play now.

So we can leave this shit.

Wait, hold that, nigga.

It's coming.

It's coming.

But on the real, I couldn't have done it without my bitches.

And retirement is about to look good on you.

Why you bring that?

What you talking about?

Retirement. Because after this shit, man, we about to... What y 'all gonna

Moving our old folks home?

Shit, because I'm still young.

And it ain't like y 'all got any skill outside the hustle.

You know, back in the day, Murphy used to make a little change off that puss.

Put niggas off that shit now.

Fuck!

I'm just speaking truth.

Your husband let you all ready for a younger thing, so you...

Now I know you used to slice people

for sex.

But this your friend.

Maybe I should remedy that shit.

Make that smile wider.

You gonna cut me?

Maybe.

Hey, Aussie. What's up?

Go on tomorrow.

Leave that door unlocked.

Yeah, I'll get in here.

You ain't come?

That's not it.

Then what's wrong?

You know.

Why you worrying about what you can't change?

You ignoring me now?

I have something to tell you.

I'm the reason that he went to jail.

Wait. What are you talking about?

Well, I put coke in his bag when he went to court on a traffic case.

Coke in his bag?

Well, I mean, they had dogs that day, so he got arrested after that.

Where'd you even get that shit?

It was his.

You know I don't have to tell you how many levels of foul that was, right?

He wouldn't leave me alone.

And I really needed him to leave me alone.

Because I... I just wanted to be with you.

I hate to think what you would do to me.

I did it because of you. Are you safe?

I said leave this door open. You said unlocked.

If you're hungry, I can make you some.

Don't worry, Miss Janet.

I got it.

You're getting real comfortable around here.

But this ain't home. Mom, I'm good.

Thanks.

Mm -hmm.

I'm about to steal her son.

All right, well, you're doing too much.

Look, you're young, Kelsey.

And if that's how you feel, you can stay right here on this bed in your mama

house. Stop playing with me.

Look, I'd be lying if I say I didn't see something else for you.

For us.

Outside of these walls.

But to get that shit, you gotta recognize you a king.

And honestly, get the fuck up out your mama house.

Look, when I'm ready to leave, I will.

Until then, I'm chilling.

Now go make me a sandwich.

Hold the coke.

Wait, shut up.

I'm making him a sandwich.

You know what you're doing?

Oh, yeah. I just want to be with your son and make him, you know. I'm talking

about the food.

Yeah.

You know, making a sandwich is much like a relationship.

Um, I don't get... I bet you don't. You gotta prepare in advance.

You can't just dump everything in all at once.

You gotta take your time and make sure each layer is right.

Janet, I know you don't like me.

Nah, I don't.

But I want you to know that I really love your son.

Hand it to him.

And you can take credit for making it, too.

But what you're not going to take credit for is the man I made him while you

were still pissing in your bed.

I've never pissed in my... Keep on telling him to leave here.

And see where that gets you.

Go feed my baby.

I know he's tired of waiting on you.

Kelsey, what does your mom do for a living again?

She makes pies at a bakery. Why?

I think she just pulled a gun out on me.

Yeah, all right.

Can't lie.

I ain't believe her.

Her mother wasn't in the streets.

But before I could wrap my head around that, some other shit happened. There he

is. Well, first she went for the baby after me.

Why they gotta be first?

So I know it's real.

Y 'all know it's real by now. We got other problems.

Don't get serious.

I'll tell you about that shit.

Keep it light.

Okay, I will.

But let me paint a picture for you.

You and me, we got babies.

We're living down south.

And not one of them struggle stories that niggas be want to tell, but really

doing good for ourselves.

I hear you.

Okay. What do you see for yourself in the future?

I mean, outside of all this drug shit.

I want to start a landscaping business.

And when it's up and running, I want to hire some employees.

Fall back and make that money while I sleep.

Okay, good.

So, how can I help you with that?

How can you help me, huh?

I mean, if you got dreams, they my dreams, too.

What the fuck you want, nigga?

Get in my car. Are you listening? She ain't going.

I don't feel like playing this game.

Lakeisha, get in my fucking car before I put two holes in your fucking face.

It's okay. It's okay. I'm going to be all right. It's okay.

She won't be pretty if I pull this trigger.

It's okay, Kelsey. I'll be all right. Make it get off me.

I kill him. You have.

You gotta be talking like that.

Charles Brick took Lakeith in.

Meet me.

When? I'll hit you when I touch down.

I hit Scully because he was always there for me.

And he knew the nigga that snatched my girl.

I had no idea that calling him would ruin my fucking life.

Before you say anything,

I know I can use my phone, but I still like the old way.

Plus, I gotta make sure Justice and Mercy's set up before we sell bakery.

So I gotta see shit visually, you know?

I know I've been working a lot lately, but shit about to get better.

What's wrong?

It's about Lakeisha.

I'm not trying to talk about that little ass girl.

I want to... Why do you do that?

Do what?

Never want to hear what I got to say.

That's a lie and you know... It ain't no lie.

You expect me to come talk to you?

And when I try?

If it ain't what you feeling, you judge.

So I don't take care of you? It ain't about what you do for me.

It's about being there for me.

Sometimes, I just want you to be my mother.

Now I know you must have let that girl get all up in your head.

I want you to remember this. Remember this moment right here. Shit go left

between us.

Kelsey!

Welcome me home.

Welcome me home. Hello, nigga.

Spoiled anyway.

Welcome me home. Stop talking.

They know it ain't no ho in me. They know I pick a beat and let my soul

My only office, the old me. That's what my past has shown me. My name good in

any hood. That's my trophy. I'm really who the gold be. I move that word so low

key. Many sing like Jodeci.

I be laid back behind.

They don't even notice me. Pray I catch them slipping. If I do, then they gonna

know it's me.

My mind be tripping, I be daydreaming about murder scenes. One of them gone

urgent. In a box, not surgery.

We be really urgent.

Can't be from here if you never heard of me. It could be some of a piece of

coal. Yeah.

Coal hot.

I'm here. Coal hot.

Took her from me.

He's off limits.

What? You?

How you sound?

Charles Rick is off limits.

What you want me to do? Just let him rape and kill her? You up and come.

You'll get another.

This ain't about romance.

It's about principle.

And I ain't letting this shit go.

Right. This ain't about principles.

It's about orders.

And I'm giving you yours.

Now go the fuck home.

You got something you want to get off your chest?

Or in it?

You sure, Mr. Aldrich?

The fuck you think?

I'm just making sure.

One time you got high and you... All day, niggas been thinking this a joke.

Thinking this a game.

I gotta hear about how I should be loyal to this and loyal to that.

But the first time I need somebody to step up for me, and I get pushed back?

Explain.

He put a gun to her head, bro.

The look in her eyes... It's tearing me apart.

Want me to call my brother?

Look, I know we're going to have to hear him run his mouth, but at least he's

solid.

Yeah, he could for that.

I'll make the call.

All right.

Yeah, call my wife and let her know I'll be on the way home.

It's Kelly.

Hand it to me.

You know, my horoscope says that I'll be in the company of my enemies.

That's where we are?

Depends on what you're about to say, Nick.

Charles Rick is out.

And causing problems.

For who?

As far as you and I are concerned, the dam flows both ways.

We making money, so we good.

And it'll stay that way.

But I need him to release that girl.

Matchmaking, huh?

I ain't never think you to be... This ain't no game, nigga.

Just like you got top earners, I got mine.

And Rick can't be out here fucking with my shit just because he all bored and

broke. My horoscope said today I'll be in the company of my enemies, and if you

hit me like this again, I'm going to think it's right.

Look, tell Rick to let the bitch go.

It's simple.

Sometimes I feel like he thinks you own something.

My question to you is, how long you gonna play his game?

Oh, so now all of a sudden y 'all can't speak.

So basically... Nah, little nigga. I heard enough from you.

I wanna hear.

Chelsea?

I need a gun.

Did this nigga just say gun out from his mama's house?

What you want me to call it then?

It ain't about the name.

I want to know what the fuck he think he gonna do with it. Look, Charles Rick is

out. And he took my bitch.

Took her where?

Fuck if I know.

You don't see how that's a problem?

Because I do.

I'm tired of niggas telling me what I should and shouldn't be doing.

Because contrary to what you niggas think, I ain't letting this shit go.

What is she for this?

Now, that ain't right.

I don't want you talking. Let's not look at you.

Because we both know you could have stared him the right way.

After all the schooling I done gave you.

How you figure? He snatched her.

Took her off the street.

Now either you gonna help me, or you can step the fuck out my face.

Either way, I'm making my move.

This girl.

She worth it?

Don't. It don't matter.

She was with me. I said I would protect her.

I didn't.

Meet me at the spot tonight.

You still want your gun?

Kill us.

You asking for real?

Charles, of course I'm asking for real. I mean, you snatched me. I don't exactly

remember it that way.

So I can leave?

No.

Stay a while.

Well, can you tell me exactly what you... Why'd you do it?

Do what?

I can put you in a trunk.

Cut you up a few ways so that you fit.

If you continue to lie.

Well, I did it because I was scared and I was too emotional

and I was...

I cared that you were going to hurt me.

Scared.

Of me.

Yeah, and I... You know, I remember when you first saw him.

I even called you out on it.

You remember that day?

I don't know, but you... Do you fucking remember that day?

We were sitting in front of this restaurant.

You said you weren't hungry.

I had already had my shit.

We were just about to pull off.

And then you saw him.

And what did you say to him?

Well, we were fighting and... Damn, Lakeisha!

That's your last strike!

See, you don't know.

But in my mind, I've been keeping a record.

And you not answering me this time makes three.

Now tell me something, pretty.

What do you think's gonna happen next?

Um, I said I was hungry, and you went and got me a sub.

Just so you can get a nigga out the way.

You know how to talk to me.

And I need that right now.

So I'm going to let you perform.

But we both know the first chance that you get, you're going to try and run.

If you don't hurt me, I promise I'll stay as long as you're feeling me.

Is that right?

Well, go ahead.

Put on a show.

You good?

You think, Kelsey?

You asking me?

What's your son?

Something up.

I fall back.

He could take care of himself if he let her.

He already done it anyway.

What you talking about?

Wait.

You serious?

Kelsey is out here in these streets.

Delonte, you know I don't like to play mind games before we do our thing.

Makes me want to hold back.

He's selling drugs.

What are you?

You well?

Talking crazy up in here.

I tried to be careful, but you wasn't picking up.

First off, he don't have no reason to be out here.

I take care of everything he needs.

Give him the basics.

True.

I'm not extra because...

Staying under the radar keeps the spotlight off me.

You call them chef jackets under the radar?

You and your friends look like money.

Trust me.

Anyway, as long as Kelsey got bread, I'll always make sure he has what he

He'll have no reason to be out here in these streets.

Yeah, I'm done.

Well, are you ready to deliver those pies?

Yeah, baby.

Because we... We can't.

Don't pay me no mind.

You know, I'd just be tired.

You don't know what to say out your mouth.

That's your problem.

Yeah.

That's all me.

Feel better?

So you falling on your foot?

Hell yeah.

If you gonna fall on this dick.

Something wrong with you.

Tell me something I don't know.

Tell me over here.

which on the first night

You know you're not supposed to be eating them white girls, right?

You watching a nigga figure now or something?

Why you sound crazy?

You know I'd be all over everything you do.

Yeah, I hear you talking.

Yeah.

You home, nigga?

And on this beautiful day, what are you doing?

That's what you call it?

Yeah, let me see. The earth's still spinning.

My heart's still beating.

Money's still flowing.

Like what's up?

Oh, that sounds real good.

For you.

Is that why you kidnapping bitches?

Why you ain't tell me you was out?

I didn't think you could.

How you figure?

Nigga, I've been locked up for a year.

I kept them lawyers paid, kept them books right.

No visit.

Not one.

From any of y 'all.

I think you got it mixed up.

I'm your boss, not your friend.

Then why you bringing me the food?

And a drink.

Because you thirsty.

And thirsty niggas drive me up. Good thing I'm not fucking you. I know you

trying.

Come on, man. Look at us.

Fighting when we winning.

Let me tell you what I'm going to do.

You're going to pay for your car, pay for your crib, and put money in your

pocket. That's right.

Excuse the packaging.

It's all I could find at the last minute.

What do I got to do for this?

Give up the girl.

Why are you so interested in my business?

Because it's discerning me.

You look dusty like you stepped out of a trash can. I had a few things that I

had to get together. I don't give a fuck.

This don't look good on you.

Or me.

And if I don't?

Give it up.

I don't know about y 'all, but I'm ready to eat.

Okay. Okay.

How can I get out of here?

She got away, and I ain't know.

I left my phone by accident, so she couldn't hit me.

Fuck!

I know you don't want to hear me.

I never said that.

I can tell you don't want to. It's all in your body, McKinney.

It's not that.

It's just... I mean, there are a lot of factors involved, and you can't expect

me to move on every single one.

You're not even trying to hear what I'm trying to... Just listen.

First, let me say you were wrong the other day.

We've been friends too long for you to pull a weapon on justice.

She disrespected me. And I don't do disrespect.

Not anymore.

I know.

Why you think I ain't checked your way?

I want to hear what you're about to say.

But I want to let you know that it won't change my plans for my future.

All three of them.

So why even listen, Janet? Because I owe you that.

If I'm known for nothing else, it's for being cautious.

Not moving off every single hunch.

If it's caution you after, let me just say you in danger.

The dramatics.

Justice is going to compromise our retirement money.

How you feel?

She loves to hustle, Janet. You gotta realize that shit.

I mean, think about how she acted when I told you retirement gonna look good on

you. We talking $10 million each.

And she gonna fuck that up?

She's making all of that from pies?

Yes. That's exactly what I'm talking about.

And you need to realize that shit.

And we be stupid as fuck, and we don't go to that meeting tonight and make sure

we get our money.

I trusted her for 15 years.

Do you know what you're asking me right now?

You think this is easy for me?

But she's giving snake.

And I'm not about to lose you over no stupid shit.

Y 'all feel home? No.

That was his ass.

Mercy, get out of my baby's room.

Let's go.

What, nigga? I need a piece.

You think I'm mic'd up? I ain't no fucking snitch.

That shit you ran your mouth last week.

That was the mama.

Crammed and involved.

Man, at least get that, nigga.

So what about him, nigga?

One of his soldiers snatched a girl from Kelsey.

The boy Charles Rick.

Chelsea, hold up.

Scully, folks?

Mm -hmm.

I'm still trying to make right from what that nigga Crandon did to me.

Uh -huh, he took all your blocks.

Nigga, I don't need no ad -libs. I know what the fuck happened.

That's why this situation perfect.

Because this way you out the picture.

You want some bullshit.

Where you going?

Stay right here. I'll be right back.

Give him this.

What?

And tell him there's some info where this come from, all right?

Can I ask you something?

You know I hate that.

Okay. I'm going to ask you something, but I don't want to kill you. You can't

manage how I feel.

You're about to do something serious tonight.

I am.

And I got a feeling she's okay.

Fuck with you, bro.

You know I do.

But you wasn't there.

Look, man, I know, I know. That's just it.

You don't fucking know.

You don't know shit.

When I say something, I stand on my word.

So I gotta make this right and find her. But why is she gone? I just fucking

told you. She's gone because he took her. A nigga that loved her since day

Wait, what you saying?

Charles Ricketts creeps, but he loves her.

You call snatching a female off the street love?

That's the only kind of love I know.

That's the only kind of love you know, too.

Well, maybe that's the problem.

I'ma ride with you regardless.

I just want us to date straight.

For real?

I don't care if he love her. She was with me.

And he ain't about to do what the fuck he wanna do out here.

But... Know when to let it go.

Look. I know you're waiting on the gun, and you're going to do what you're going

to do anyway.

Why don't you chill tonight?

Nah. Just tonight.

We're not even going to get a burger from that place Joanne's.

The kitchen's nasty, but the food's still good.

Okay.

And if she doesn't come back, then you do what you got to do tomorrow, and I'll

be right there with you.

Nick, I'm not trying to— One night.

But just let me chill here by myself for a minute.

I mean, my brother's gonna be late with the gun anyway, so... Just let me chill.

I'm good.

All right.

Gotta get a refill anyway.

What's my cup?

You gonna ask me for a weapon in it?

You know what?

Never mind.

Where my brother?

He ain't here.

Now, where is that?

Welcome me home.

Welcome me home.

I'm sure you won't go through with this. Y 'all niggas hurt.

You talking out the side of your face, but I did.

Got you a party gift.

What's that?

I know where he'll be.

Tonight.

She gettin' money like both ways. So I spend the money like always.

Smellin' like light blue and star shade.

Top back Ferrari with Colton.

She hit the bus, she a regular.

John's over here.

I thought we was meetin' up later. We was in the neighborhood.

Figured we'd stop by.

The neighborhood?

Why I get a feeling y 'all checking up on me?

It's not a checking. But if it is, it shouldn't be a problem.

It's not.

Good. How'd everything go?

How'd it go?

The bulk has been deposited into our individual overseas account.

And the rest is in the Angel Investment Network as planned to clean the rest.

And the cash?

Be here tomorrow.

Yes! get a duffel a piece.

I'm expecting two for my funds.

Two of those bags filled with $100 bills is two million.

And somebody gonna take that shit.

Shit, they better not.

Why you taking that much out?

Cause I need cash on hand.

And it's mine, so what's the problem? Where do we start?

Janet, if we about to be done with all of this, then what's the problem with me

getting more of my money?

What can't

niggas get caught.

I set up legit businesses for us so we can let shit simmer before we go on.

Why you rushing shit?

Because I need to hold it so I know it's real.

I ain't you, Janet.

You right about that.

Bitch, when it's over, we done.

I'm good when that happen.

Or it could be right now.

And we'll split your cut.

Back the fuck up.

Because you're doing too much now.

Janet, I love you.

But that bitch just made a threat.

Now, how do you expect me to handle that shit?

I don't know about all of that, but it's going to come back to me.

I can feel it.

I got it.

I'm going to watch your back.

Please don't.

Go with her anyway.

Lakeisha followed my mother and aunt to get proof.

Proof she was in the streets.

Mom's called, but I didn't get the message.

I had other shit on my mind.

Where... Where is she?

Why the fuck would I tell you?

I don't want to hurt you. I just... You can't hurt me?

Nigga, you can't even touch me.

But where the fuck is my girl?

Where is she, man? You know, I saw you when you...

Out here in the open, huh?

Plan. Listen, I don't know why you did this shit. You know why. No, I don't.

Last time we talked, we were gonna get burgers from Joanne.

Never made a promise.

He's untouchable.

Then why he dead?

This... This is... What?

Is the plan.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. We're going to tuck the body in the earth, get rid of the evidence, and

tomorrow we're going to act like none of this shit ever happened.

All right.

I want you to separate from me when this is done.

Just for a couple days.

Why? I don't want you in the mix when they come.

Listen, bro. If it's not Lakeisha, it's me they're coming for.

So I'm dead anyway.

So is she.

I found her necklace and phone in his car.

I guess we do the only thing we can do and just wait.

For what?

To grow reaper.

What's up, nigga?

Heard a young boy out here using his sword to save lives.

And you helping him do it. It ain't like that.

Just trying to keep you peace. Who, nigga with Cramden?

What's this about again?

Listen, man.

Cramden got what's coming to him.

But I ain't the nigga that's going to be extending shit to a motherfucker's

relatives. What you know?

You're going to have to ask your knight about that.

Because from what I've seen, that nigga anger being misdirected.

You're going to have to be the one to get him on the right path.

So was it worth?

It's too early to tell.

You went against what I told you.

It should have been worth.

I don't see the human.

Lakeitha said something to me before he killed her.

She asked me where I saw myself in the future.

And when I told her, she said, how can I help you with that?

She wasn't the one.

I don't know who it is.

I guess I'll never find out.

So it was worth it.

The fuck was you doing outside cramming this motherhouse anyway?

I wanted to get myself up.

Didn't want him fucking with my family and friends.

Dumb. And it's a good thing I caught you.

Because he would have killed all them niggas anyway.

Maybe I should leave.

Listen, what I did to Charles Rick wasn't about you.

Just couldn't let it rot.

It's just not in me.

Shit like this puts everything on the line.

Everyone you love.

I was trying to prevent that shit. Like I said, that's why I went to his mama's

house.

This on me, not my family.

And you gotta tell Kramer that. I don't gotta do shit, nigga. It's on me.

I'm ready for whatever.

You close to your mother?

Yeah, we good.

What she do for a living?

Bake.

Really? What kind of baking?

Pies.

Pies, huh?

Yeah. She don't know what I do for you, though.

She that green.

She smart.

Just not in the streets.

Before Lakeisha was killed, she said, my mother pulled a gun on her.

She ain't that type of woman.

How you know she wouldn't tell the truth?

For real?

Don't.

I ain't going to lie, I thought he was going to kill your ass.

Nah, he don't want to.

I just don't know why.

How long you know Scully for again?

You know what happened, nigga.

Kelsey saw you getting work and he wanted to get on my payroll, but... Oh,

You told him to get out your face.

I ain't want it for him.

Wait, but you ain't have no problem putting me to work. You hopeless.

Just like me.

But he's kind of different.

He came out of nowhere.

Me and mom just moved out here because we left New York in a hurry. For what?

I don't know.

Not even to this day.

But we were moving into that apartment complex and my mother went inside.

I was relieved because at that point she had been crying all day.

And he came up to me out of nowhere.

And asked my name and who my father was.

What'd you say?

He gave him the name, dummy.

A little while after that, he put me on.

Maybe it was destiny.

You one of them type of niggas that shit like that happens to.

But on the day I swear he was going into the building, my mother went inside.

But he just changed his mind.

I walked away.

You think you saw a connection between those two or something?

I didn't then, but now... I'm not sure.

Well, worst niggas to have on your side.

For real.

Nah! You need to keep that.

It's dirty anyway.

Keep it for what?

I did what I wanted to do.

You ain't dumb enough to think it's over.

Are you?

I mean, you're still leaving, right?

Yeah.

All right.

Well, I'm ready to get the fuck out of D .C., though.

It's whatever.

Hey, good looking out, man. Both of y 'all.

You a reckless little nigga.

I wish I had a different outcome.

What are you doing?

I'm going with them.

Nah, you're not.

It's on me and it'll stay on me.

But I thought we were going to rent Airbnbs in.

The broke up with you.

Learn when to let go.

I'm good, bro.

Trust me. You sure?

If I can fight my brother, you're going to lose too.

I ain't got no beef with you.

Sure about that?

Is Janet out here?

What you talking about? You in the streets, nigga.

You know exactly what I mean. Look, I don't know who you are. Are you really

about to die over a bitch?

Tell me something. I want to hear it.

Preserve your life.

Now, is Janet pushing or what?

Okay.

It's been hard on me, baby.

So fucking hard.

Are you okay?

What happened?

Why the fuck didn't you call me?

He took my phone.

And I left mine here by accident.

He grabbed me.

He brought up how you and I met.

He made me tell him everything that I did.

I had to be honest about reminding him of everything that he did when we were

together. I couldn't take the fear.

I couldn't take the fighting.

And I really couldn't take losing you.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry I didn't tell you about framing Charles.

Fuck that nigga.

Do you hear me?

Fuck him.

I don't know. I don't know where Charles is. He's dead.

He pulled me up and let me go.

He understands.

Be good.

I want you

to be a real life free

for me.

I want you like when I speak it make you geek for me.

I was going to tell you.

I'm listening.

I know you don't want to hear this.

I was really right, but... What you talking about?

It's your mother.

She's a drug dealer, a hustler, whatever you want to call it.

How do you figure?

Well, I used your phone to call an Uber, and I saw your mom in a warehouse with

my very own eyes, and your aunt's too.

Kill me.

If anything happens to me, it's because of your mother. Stop talking like that.

It's true.

I know Charles Rick wasn't your fault, but your mom, she's very dangerous.

You have to save me from your mother.

All right, we getting out of here.

For real?

Yeah. I want you to go home, get your ID and wallet, and meet me back here.

my clothes and... Fuck all that shit.

I got enough paper saved up.

Just you, your wallet, and ID.

Do you understand?

What about your mother?

Kelsey! I don't know.

Okay, well you need to talk to her about it. But only if you think she's going

to tell you the truth.

Because if you want to start a future with me, I need you to have a clear

Okay?

You gonna marry a nigga or what?

Hey.

Busy?

Nah, girl.

Why Delonte just propose to me over a bouquet of roses?

And that nigga ain't even here.

You irritated as fuck, ain't you? Nah.

I'm just mad these classically trained niggas know what we like.

You ain't lying.

But look, Scully not in town, right?

Wait, what you talking about?

I saw this nigga for sure look just like his fine ass.

All black and everything.

He don't know you back in the game, do he?

No.

Kelsey, I don't know where you've been, but you better make sure I see your face

before I go the fuck off.

And you know what? That's how you talk to your son?

You a drug dealer, Ma?

Are

you?

Because I remember when we moved from New York.

The fridge and the cabinet stayed fully stocked.

Not once did I ever believe you were more than nobody's love.

You knew what I was doing.

I don't know what you do. You knew.

And the lies were to make you feel better, but I know you knew.

Am I a hustler's son?

You out of pocket. And I ain't get no answer.

Is my mother a fucking drug dealer?

If we gonna talk, you address me as your highness.

I'm a fucking kingpin.

There she is.

It's because of me.

Niggas can feed their families and get their dicks sucked by bitches way out of

their league.

It's because of me.

Women can run businesses on the blocks and online leading to that generational

wealth.

I single -handedly...

Under the radar.

Pumped more kilos of cocaine in D .C. than Raquel Edmonds in 92.

And yet, you put the pressure on me?

Not letting me move how I wanted?

Be who I wanted? I was trying to save your life, nigga.

You a black man.

That means you marked.

Mothers from everywhere know what I'm feeling.

They know we gotta keep our sons safe because the streets and the government

don't give a fuck.

And you hate us for it.

You hate us.

Consistently dating outside our race because you hate our faces. This ain't

about no white bitch.

It's about all of it.

Everything.

First, I want us to calm down, okay?

Because all of this, everything I do, is for you.

And without you, none of this shit matters.

What is it?

I want you to be great, son.

And this is yours.

Mom, what is it?

You bought me a landscape business?

Yes.

With employees and products.

They even sell soil.

But I never told you this was my dream.

Does it make a difference how I found out?

You should have been real with me.

But I forgive you.

To get some air.

That's what you want to eat.

Oh, can you call that place and have them bring us the king crab legs in a

Yeah, that seafood boil.

Yeah. With potatoes and corn?

I got you, but after we eat, you know I can't stay out all night. Got this whole

wife thing going.

What's up with you?

You spend half your time with me.

Shit, most of my time with you.

Well, then why I got to play this ad?

Let me tell you what being the main one means. Nah, nah, nah. Don't disrespect

me, bitch.

Ever.

All right?

I'm sorry.

Nah, you're just irrational.

Being the main one means taking care of business at home.

Right? That means making sure the bills are paid for based on what I give you.

That means I account for every dime.

Right?

No getting flewed out, limited perks, no extra money. That sound like romance to

you?

I hear you.

I like what we got.

Come on.

I like it better with you.

So what happened?

They don't know where he at.

Maybe he's posted out with her at some motel.

Nah, ain't got no intention of letting her go.

She damn sure don't want to be with his ass.

Can I speak freely?

Yeah, that's another perk I want for you.

If Charles Rick got caught up and he was killed for it, don't we charge that to

the game?

So you admit you think he did?

I know he is.

Because since when have you known Scully to make a call if the stakes were high?

So he paid a death gratuity to his mother?

I don't see why not.

But if you got to pay that, why I got to come out your pocket?

So you want a seafood boil?

The king crab legs.

All right.

whenever you serve enough for dessert later.

You got a mouth like me.

Indeed.

She won't fall in love with a nigga.

I guess that she think I'm a plug.

I told her the whole time I'm gonna hit her.

Bitch, that's why you see me with drugs.

My boy fell in love with a stripper. He get mad every time that I tip her. He

get back to me.

Ha ha, there he goes.

The one, the only, Scully.

All the way to perform.

You know, I never understood why rich niggas couldn't just live in the moment.

Ain't like it's gonna last forever.

Was hoping we could meet privately.

Well, you know what they say.

In front of every strong man is a stronger woman.

I think you got the water messed up.

Is that right?

Tell the fuck you think you got?

I hate to see you under these circumstances.

If Charles Riggins listen, which means in 24 hours, your boy gonna be dead.

Or he's not.

See, now you got me in a bad mood.

Couldn't touch an untouchable nigga.

That shit got complicated.

Well, I was hoping that'd make your day, bro.

Classy.

Leave the kid alone.

At this point, I gotta know.

The history between y 'all.

Chan is back in the gang.

You already worried about a nigga like me.

He's so tight.

Killer.

That for a woman is crazy.

She's right.

I gotta tear her farts out.

I called him for help.

But he betrayed me.

Just to set my mother up.

And I ain't see it coming.

I didn't mean to speak.

What do you want?

Who are you?

I'm Kelton's friend, Kelly.

Why are you worried about yourself?

Oh, I was just getting my license.

You told me about that shit.

You didn't.

Let me take you to him.

Because at the end of the day, I still love you.

Girl, I love you too.

Aww.

It's about to be beaches, valley, and Belize all year long.

Hey!

But I thought we would stand under the radar.

You know what?

Fuck that shit.

It's time to...

With my class.

Cully, please.

I promise to God I'm out.

That ain't the fucking point.

I let you live to take care of my man's son under one condition.

That you stay out the fucking game.

But you ain't do that.

Because all I see is money.

Cully, please.

You killed my man.

To save your soul by having his son in secret.

I was going to take your head off that day I came to that building.

But I saw my friend in his eyes.

And all you had to do was walk away.

You can't have my fucking retirement.

Just let him have it.

Just let him have it.

Sorry. I can't.

You take my key.

You did too.

I gave you grace.

Why you ain't take it, bitch?

I could, Kitty.

But that would be too fucking easy.

I got another plan.

Yo, where you at, babe?

I'm waiting.

Yo, what?

You okay, man?

What you talking about?

Where you at? Let me come get you so we can talk. What the fuck are you talking

about? What the fuck are you talking about?

He dealt me a blow when he killed my girl.

But he should have killed me.

Because in the end, secrets always find their way into the light.

from me that i can handle i would destroy everything he loves

you can do some

evil bloody things in the name of love trust

They know it ain't no ho in me. They know I pick a beat and let my soul

My only office, the old me. That's where my past is shown.

My name good in any hood. That's my throne. I'm really who the gold be. I

that word so low key. So low key. Many sing like Jodeci. I be laid back behind

scent. They don't even notice me. Pray I catch them slipping. If I do, then they

gonna notice me. Notice me with third degree.

My mind be tripping. I be daydreaming about murder scenes. One of them gone.

We'll

be

right back.

Cause I'ma give it all if they tell me.

Call her hot.

Call her hot.

Alita, Alita, and then he lead the shooters.

Alita, Alita, and then he lead the troopers.

Y 'all forgive me for the shit that I know I'm doing.

It's people you give up the fame or you end up ruined.

Promise I won't hit and run. Just know this ain't no accident.

Bullets hit his chest, go through his back. Won't leave no fragment.

Pop the car, walk down and let him have it. I'm a savage.

Bro, they lightin' traffic.

I'm touchin' on that fat shit. I see my opps, I'm clappin'. The way I swipe this

mama house, you'll think I was the scammer. Put hoes in her pajamas.

Should've tore this ass on manners. The way I be smokin' shit, I hope I don't

end up with cancer. We grab them, that's a ransom.

Man,

I really don't know why these niggas be playin' with us.

When they know how to fuck with us.
