You can't get mad if I move on by the time you get back.

In fact, I hear Glock pays well.

You out my circle of trust.

Fuck the MK up!

Yo, man, what the fuck y'all want?

Come here.

Fuck you, nigga.

Oh, what, that's too tight?

Well, maybe I'll loosen them if you tell me

what went down at Techwood.

Stick with me, please.

I love you too.

Never seen anyone like you before--

sexy, mature.

This is Vince.

He used to do security for Boom,

and now he patrols in the Eastern Division.

And Vince, this is Tee.

But I got some good news.

We flipped several of Henri's clientele.

Hey, who pimped out your ride?

Uh, they call him Francois.

He in Miami.

I bet Claude going through

his terrible twos right now, as we speak.

So what's the timing?

And how is this pure weight gonna resurrect my crew?

Everyone gonna eat.

We gonna be partners forever, man,

not competitors.

Hey, introduce me to the new homies

you was telling me about.

A'ight, check it out.

This right here is Bingo,

and we got Big Foley and C-Note.

All three of 'em built Ford tough.

Okay, that's what's up.

That's what's up.

I'm gonna show y'all how we rein in

this new clientele and honeys.

You see, the plug, he don't really like

small bills, like ones and fives and tens and shit,

because it's too bulky to transport.

So I figured, why not have some fun

and give back to the community?

I'll make you forget that she ever existed.

Hey, your plan worked.

Word on the street is Henri owed the Chaldeans

some serious bread.

And they lookin' for her.

The Chaldeans?

Yeah.

Really?

She killed Peaches.

That's why she was so interested

in her ass in the first place.

She wanted to take her out to snake her plug.

And that's why her shit got better after she died.

Murkin' bitch.

Look, I know we said

we was gonna let her plug deal with her,

but her having a local supplier changes things.

So we're gonna just wait and see

if she does come up with the money?

No--no, no, no, no, no.

Hell no.

I got a different way to deal with it.

With a name like Lucky,

you might be good to have around.

But I don't got time for no girl right now.

Ugh.

Oh, I get it.

You married to the game.

I'ma see you back out there, though.

All right, now. - Thank you for coming.

Uh-huh. - Thank you, good brother.

- Have a good night. - Yes, sir.

Mm-hmm.

Ooh. Man--

Yo, what the fuck are you doing?

We're closed.

I was just coming by to see

what your little business was all about.

Hmm.

From the looks of it, not much.

Like I said, we're closed.

You know, Markisha's a high-class woman.

Very high-class.

You don't have what it takes

to keep up with a woman like her.

And I can't, for the life of me,

understand why she would babysit someone

who looks like their mama just stopped

breastfeeding him yesterday.

Well, let me inform you, Officer Vince.

Some of us graduate to um, let's say,

bigger and better titties early.

Because we know more so about answering questions

rather than asking them.

That's funny.

That is funny.

But you know who else is interested

in asking questions?

The IRS.

Be a damn shame if they found out

you were selling more than hot plates

out this raggedy motherfucker, huh?

My business is legit, and so am I.

Hmm.

Was that the motherfucker you was telling me about?

Yeah.

Look, I need you to find out everything you can

on this Curtis Mayfield motherfucker.

We gotta make sure our books are straight,

especially with all this extra work we whippin'.

Are you sure he would hit you like that?

I don't know.

This- this guy is desperate for Markisha.

Man, I tell you, between the sweeps down here,

drug raids in the Lou, and all the heat in the D,

shit gettin' crazy out here.

You know, one time always been a problem though.

This shit ain't nothin' new.

Maybe not now, but it's different.

They trying to make drug crimes federal.

Man, they're trying to give niggas

the death penalty and shit.

Goddamn.

I mean, locking niggas up ain't good enough no more?

I'm telling you, Duff, if we don't protect

the work and the homies, I guarantee we next.

Shit, I feel that.

So what you trying to do, Meech?

We need a new mechanic, ASAP.

We need somebody who gonna elevate our shit

so we can move around better.

All right, I'ma ask around.

But we still need eyes on the motherfuckers

Glock and Remi.

Man, fuck them.

Look, I got a meeting with Claude later on,

so we can put this shit to bed once and for all.

Bet.

When I had my son, I was 17 years old,

begging God to take that baby away from me.

He was living proof that I had laid down

with someone who was not my husband,

nor would he ever be.

I was ostracized at home and the church

and faced the sneers of people who once claimed to admire me.

And in typical God fashion,

He didn't do what I wanted Him to do.

No, He didn't.

He did what was in His divine design,

a design that we are not here to question.

Mm.

Amen? Amen.

Amen.

What I thought was

my biggest mistake

turned out to be the missing ingredient

that prepared me for where I sit today.

Yes, ma'am. Amen.

To God be the glory.

Amen.

Mayor Maynard Jackson has announced

that he will not be seeking re-election

to a fourth term, facing criticism

for moving slow on neighborhood and downtown

development plans ahead of the 1996

Summer Olympics coming to Atlanta.

About time you showed up.

Me? Nigga, left me hanging

like drawers swinging from a fucking clothesline.

Yeah, well, I'm here now, so what's the word?

Look, I got people looking for better weight,

who are willing to go around Remi to work with you.

But the big cats we need, like this nigga named Sharp,

gonna be a little harder to convince.

Shit, as far as I could tell, he's down to help Remi

take back Techwood from the MKs.

You still the top of his hit list too.

Yeah, but hittin' the MKs, it ain't gonna do shit,

but 'cause the Red Dogs to bite back.

Now, look, the Olympics is taking place in Atlanta,

which means more eyes are on us.

Right. That's why I'm trying to propose a sit-down with you

and some of the ATL peeps.

Man, once they hear your vision for a partnership

and taste your product, we got a better chance

of moving Remi and Glock out.

Sell 'em like you sold me, nigga.

It's your job to get Remi's ass out

and others on board first.

Now look, check this out.

We gonna meet at a neutral spot.

No guns. Plenty of witnesses.

Now, you say y'all care about Atlanta.

We gonna see how much y'all care about it.

Name the time and place.

Platinum Palace, tomorrow night.

And if anybody leaves with a fucking toe tag,

deal is off.

Bet.

We'll be there.

I'm sorry, son.

I'm so sorry.

Bryant, open up.

Look, ignoring my calls is one thing.

But I see your car.

I know you're here.

Bryant!

Shit's fucked up.

I know.

I fucking know.

My boy is dead 'cause of those fuckin' dope dealers--

Meech, Terry, Henri.

Look, this pity party you're throwing,

it's not gonna bring Kevin and Cobie back.

But taking Henri and BMF down

will at least give us some peace.

Now, come on.

Get into the shower and clean yourself up.

We got some work to do.

Come on.

And that guy?

Tyson, Henri's right hand and cousin.

You got history with this guy too?

I checked with the guard at the juvie facility,

and the visitor's log showed that Tyson signed in

right before Kevin got his protection,

and again right before he lost it.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was there with Henri

when they shot up your place.

Well, then let's make this a family affair

and bury both of them,

for Kevin and Cobie.

You liked her, huh?

It was nice having a sister again.

I had a partner I kinda liked too.

Too bad you fucked that up.

Okay, now let's follow him and see where he--

Or let's divide and conquer.

You tail Tyson while I work Henri undercover.

Wait, wait, wait, I already told you,

you can't go undercover without backup.

Fine.

Just don't make me notify your father

that he's lost his last daughter.

I can't--

neither of us could take it.

Tee, you know

I don't work on that side of the business.

Look, man, I-- I know, but it's just--

look, you're the only person connected to anyone who does.

All I can do is ask.

But I can't promise you.

Hey, Sam, this guy wants to cash in this scratch-off,

but the machine said it's a fake.

Then rip it up and send him away.

My bad, bro.

I'll let you know what they say.

All right.

Hey, yo, if that scratch-off was real,

what was gonna happen?

I would've had to pay the broke motherfucker.

Tonight is further proof that

I made the right choice

for the assistant pastor position.

Have you given it any more thought?

Okay, I'm still waiting to hear from the Lord.

Mm-hmm. Well, I hope...

...that he gives you an answer really, really soon.

Yes, ma'am.

- All right, I'ma see you. - All right.

- All right. - God bless you.

- Have a good night. - Bless you too, love.

Thank you.

Ooh.

Ooh, I saw you get touched by Pastor Flemming's testimony.

Yes, I really did.

Got me thinkin' about who I was before I became a mama,

what I used to dream of.

Made me realize I gotta prepare for a future without Terry.

You know what?

As much as I pray for y'all to be together,

I think it's wise for you to, you know, have a plan

for yourself and these babies.

Yeah. You know, Terry always

gonna be the father of my kids.

But it's very clear he don't want to be

my man no more, Miss Lucille.

But I've been thinkin' I want to go to cosmetology school...

Ooh.

...and be a hairstylist like I always wanted.

You know, no matter how bad of a day I'm having,

when I get up out that chair, I get this boost of confidence.

Yes.

I want to give that to other women,

like Pastor Flemming gave to me tonight.

Oh, my goodness, that is just wonderful.

I'm so proud of you.

Ooh, I love you so much.

I love you too.

Mm, mm, mm.

Ooh.

Hey.

Hey, good to see you.

You too, baby.

Ooh, there she go, there she go.

Oh, Lucille? Yeah.

You're not gonna believe this,

but someone at the church recommended me to play

for the Campbell Brothers.

Get out of here.

Oh, my goodness, I love them.

You know, they--they are putting rock, gospel,

and soul music on the map.

Uh, will you come if you can make it?

Can I bring Maurice?

Well, I guess I've been fighting for you

in all the wrong ways.

I forgot what it means to be the best man for me,

this family, and for you.

Listen, I'll be the judge of that.

Yo, I still can't

believe you lied to your parents.

Um, excuse you. I didn't lie.

I told them we were studying.

- That's what we did. - Yeah.

When the cops pull you over on a busy street,

they gonna come to the passenger side to be safe.

So this spot right here...

almost always overlooked.

Okay.

But let me ask you this.

How many other people are using this spot?

Not enough to be worried about.

Cats way out here in Lawrenceville

ain't as sharp as you.

Well, I'm telling you,

if this puts a muzzle on the dogs,

there's a lot more where this came from.

Sho' nuff.

Appreciate the business.

Appreciate you.

The stash spot tight,

but we could still pack it like sardines.

Yeah, let's just hope the pigs

don't get a whiff of the fish.

We good. Yeah.

Have one of the homies test drive it.

Gotcha.

Look, I think hitting raw is so much better.

But we need these to be safe.

Nah, me and my girl are taking things slow.

...even know how to use those.

- I know what I'm doing. - Oh, yeah.

You do, huh? Big hitter.

Okay.

Because they're good.

Oh, hell no.

But they're so good.

But that's the best part about it.

Why would you even-- why would you even get those?

Look, look-- Yo.

What? Get out the car.

What the fuck, Terry?

Yeah, what the fuck is a really good question.

Calm down. We were just studying.

- You were just studying? - Yeah.

You were studying?

What is this? You were just studying?

You were just studying?

- What's wrong with you? - Let's go.

- No. - Let's--let's go.

I'm not going with you.

Terry, let me go. I'm not going with you.

Bruh, chill.

Stop.

Boy, I will beat the fuck out of you

till you start pissing in a whole new direction.

Tee, you embarrassing me.

Shut up.

Get your ass in the car before I tell Mama.

I thought snitching was frowned upon

in your line of work.

Give me this shit.

I ought to whup your ass.

How we supposed to get home?

Nikki, get to steppin'.

He's so damn weird, bro.

Let's go!

Yo, you don't hear me?

Get your ass in the car.

Come on, man.

What's the catch?

No catch.

Meech is the only out-of-towner

willin' to work with us, not against us.

We can finally get our hands on that pure shit.

What Remi think about all this?

Man, look, I hate going behind Remi like this.

But he's still stuck in the past.

The Red Dogs are the real enemy, and Meech sees that.

Yeah, I mean, one of my boys just got popped

by them pigs pickin' up work.

Man, they raided our hood last week.

But them MK motherfuckers think they untouchable.

Look, nigga, without Meech's product,

we ain't running shit but our mouth.

And once we get on, we can get up enough dough

to get a real gun connect and stand on what's ours.

You feel me?

So Meech want to meet tonight at Platinum.

Are y'all down?

Fuck Meech.

Fuck.

I raised you like you my brother,

taught your ass like you were my goddamn son,

and this the thanks I get.

You even dressed like that pussy-ass nigga.

Oh!

Shit.

This our city.

We run this motherfucker.

So fuck that nigga Meech.

And fuck the MK too, while we at it.

We hittin' Techwood right now,

and I only want real Atlanta niggas backin' me up.

Just 'cause you can't afford nice shit don't mean

you gotta fuck up mines.

Hey, shut the fuck up, boy.

I know there's something in this damn car,

and I'm gonna find it.

Chip Mims.

Came back clean.

No priors, no warrants, surprisingly.

That's what I've been trying to tell Officer Winslow here.

I'm clean.

Y'all just want to harass another innocent Black man.

Oh, this ain't The Montel Williams Show.

Shut the fuck up.

What you got?

Oh.

Yes, sir, not one but two!

What's your street name? Bingo?

Huh?

Another innocent Black man, huh?

I can't stand niggas like you.

Instead of working hard for your nice shit,

you niggas take shortcuts and side roads

that lead to nowhere.

Then you got the audacity to get mad at people like us,

huh, for doing our job?

Hey, hold up, hold up.

You ain't feel this shit? Hold on. Hold on.

It's not right.

It's not right.

Sh--hold that.

Get him up.

Fuckin' baking soda?

Huh? Shit.

Take them cuffs off his ass, man.

Fuck.

Hey, hey.

Hey, y'all.

We gotta go to Techwood now.

We'll handle your ass later, boy.

The Chaldeans keep calling.

I told them they'll get their fuckin' money,

but those chicken-shit-ass motherfuckers,

they just scared to play ball.

That's all that shit is about.

That should set you straight on the debt you owe.

This stays between us, Henri.

If your old man finds out I was here--

He won't.

Why are you doing this?

I never liked the way my brother treats you,

his own flesh and blood.

You know, with all you've been through,

you deserve better.

Thanks, Unc.

Hey, um, I'm gonna go take care of this, okay?

I'll be right back.

My Pops really abandoned me when I needed him most.

I'm sorry, but fuck him.

Okay?

'Cause me and Tuan, we always wanted you.

And that's the reason why we decided to run with you

and not him.

You always know the right thing to say, cuz.

I'm gonna take care of this, all right?

Yeah, this cut got me looking right.

Funky fresh.

Isn't that how y'all kids say it?

Yeah, Pops, in the '80s.

Boy, you know what I was talking about.

Man, I hope your mama can make it out.

Yeah, me too.

Ain't too many families in the hood that stick together.

That's one of the things that always made me proud

about you and Ma.

No matter what, you always shared the same roof

and the same last name.

Yeah, I'm doing my best to keep it that way.

But that damn doctor that delivered Alexis

is getting in the way.

Shit, he probably got a house with a two-car garage

and a chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

Pops, you know money don't buy love.

Yeah, but it helps.

And this gig ain't paying all that much.

You got any extra work at the restaurant?

I want to--I want to show your mom a good time.

Uh, yeah.

Yeah. Um, I could--

I'll give you a cash advance now.

Come--ah, come on, man.

Look, just--just do whatever you can to make Ma happy.

You know I'm only doing this to keep the family together.

Me too.

Ah, that's Meech.

Yo.

What up, Tee?

Yeah, that restaurant, I tried it.

Turned out to be some shit.

Gave me food poisoning.

I guess that new Southern cuisine

ain't all it's cracked up to be, is it?

Well, look, uh, my--my caterers,

they cooking up a new dish.

Man, it's the same food everywhere we go,

the same shit to eat, nothing different.

I want to try a new restaurant, like the one

that boxer put us on, you know, that Chef Francois from Miami.

Yo, that shit was fire.

You think he'll introduce us?

Man, fuck that.

He gonna have to tell us something.

We need a top notch caterer for our next party.

Well, good luck, 'cause, we eatin' over here.

Yeah, but for how long?

Exactly.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

Thank you.

Hey, look, uh, my-- my pops is about to make

some repairs to the shop.

And--and I'm gonna inflate the cost of that

so it'll look better on the books.

Your pops is not gonna like that.

Yeah, but the less he knows, the more he's protected.

And honestly, with this lottery scheme,

it's gonna allow us to clean cash without putting

so much pressure on the restaurant.

That shit is still over my head.

Can you explain it one more time, please?

So we tell Sam that we'll pay cash

for any winning Michigan lottery tickets,

no less than 5K and no more than a million.

With his massive network of liquor stores, gas stations,

and mini marts across the state,

we can count on winners every week.

He sells the tickets as usual.

When the winner comes back to claim their prize,

they're told they have two options.

One, they can drive to the lottery headquarters

all the way in Lansing and cash in their tickets,

or two, they can wait 20 to 30 minutes,

and someone will come over, buy their ticket in cash,

plus a 10% bonus.

Everyone obviously picks the second option.

I break off Sam for pulling the winning ticket.

Then we find someone we can trust, like Hoop's cousin,

to claim the winning ticket in her name.

The lottery withholds taxes and gives her a check.

She deposits it and uses the now-clean money

to buy jewelry...

...cars...

...houses...

...whatever I want.

And we take care of her for doing that.

And we don't have to worry about the IRS,

'cause the IRS is gonna be keeping a record

of all the winnings.

And the winner is technically a tax-paying citizen.

And that's not gonna look suspicious, Sam's store

- having all these winners? - No.

We're gonna be spreading everything around.

Sam owns multiple spots.

And there's a network of Chaldeans with businesses

that he can plug us in with.

Oh, you really thought this through.

You know, I do what I can.

And you do a good job at it.

Look at you, calling the shots.

You never care about the flash and attention.

You just get the job done.

You even got Henri, who's a heifer,

running around with her tail between her legs.

I'm serious, babe.

You do so much better without Meech calling the shots.

I know he's the firstborn, but you are second to none.

Excuse me, can I have a mojito, please?

Top shelf only. Absolutely.

Hey, can--can you make that two, please?

Since when did you start drinking?

Since my woman is making me feel like the man on top.

Well, I'ma be the woman on top tonight.

All right, I want to let y'all know,

I'm finna put everything on pause until I find

a better way to move the work.

Swapping it out for that baking soda

was smart as hell, though.

Got my back, I got yours.

Hey, that's what's up, boss.

Hey, where the fuck you get them fake IDs from, though?

You're welcome.

You know what?

I had a feeling that's how your young ass

was slippin' and slidin'

through all these goddamn places.

Y'all go have fun, though.

Everything on me.

Hey, I heard the MKs at Techwood got knocked.

Oh, shit.

That's why they ain't up here right now.

They get Glock too?

Shit, I ain't hear all that.

But at least now, less of 'em to deal with.

You damn sure right about that.

Keep your eyes peeled for Claude.

That nigga come through tonight, ATL is ours.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

We're the Campbell Brothers, and that's our time.

Oh, my God, I love this new look on you.

We'll be back Saturday.

Make sure to come check us out.

I love that you came.

Well, I was not gonna be the reason that this night

was not everything you hoped for.

Pardon me, ma'am.

But uh, I gotta say to this talented brother

right here, where have you been?

You know, just building a life with my wife.

Well, in my days on this Earth,

I've learned that the love of a good woman

is worth more than any hit record.

Amen.

Well, you know, he's a really great songwriter too.

I mean, you should hear the song that he wrote for me.

Is that right?

Get in touch with my manager.

And my number's on the back of that too.

I could learn a thing or two from you

on that steel guitar, now.

Sho' nuff.

All right, now.

Y'all have a blessed night.

Thank you. You too.

Oh, my God.

What?

I'm taking you out.

Charles.

What?

Oh, my God.

I have not seen you this energized in years.

Well, I have all that we've been through of late

to thank for that.

Do you ever wonder, like, what it would have been like

if we had not gotten married so fast,

and we just took time for us, and we didn't have kids?

Shoot, woman, everything happened

the way it was supposed to.

God don't make no mistakes.

And we still have time to...

fulfill our dreams and make them happen together.

That day you was like,

"I don't get paid to talk to you all day."

It didn't sound like that.

Exactly how it sounded.

Oh, no, I did not ask for another.

Yeah, yeah, me neither.

Boss, can you get us some water, please?

I ordered it.

Can you--

I believe that's just how you like it.

Mans, you would not know what a woman wanted

if she drew a map with arrows pointing down at her--

Simmer down, youngblood,

before I make 'em card your young ass.

Let me tell you about yourself,

Mr. Brave Policeman.

You on day watch.

You roll out of the police station

parking lot at 6:30 a.m.

You grab a Egg McMuffin and some coffee.

Then you drive around, snacking on Cabana pork rinds

and strawberry Faygo,

fraternizing with hos and hoods

and getting payoffs to look the other way.

Lunchtime, four honey-dips at Donutville.

Then you take a nap in your car

depending if your ass is tired from doing shit.

Then you fucking go to the police station

at 6:30 p.m., take your ass home

just in time for the Wheel of Fortune.

I know where you're at.

And you know where I'll be.

Tee is all the man that I need.

And get the fuck on, Vince.

Where you find these goofy-ass niggas?

So I told the video store clerk,

you tell me to be kind and rewind one more time,

and I'ma take this copy of The Bodyguard

and shove it so far up your ass

that you're gonna be hitting high notes

like Whitney Houston.

♪ Something that I like ♪

You are so funny.

Where do you get your sense of humor from,

your mom or your dad?

I never--

I never knew my mom.

Oh.

And uh, my dad?

Well, let's just say

things are very tense.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

My mom died in childbirth, giving birth to me.

And my old man hates me for it.

So...

That's fucking shitty.

♪ Spin that record for me ♪

When my sister died, our family got fractured.

My mom left us in Detroit, and she never looked back.

At least you got a mom.

As long as she's still alive,

there's always a chance to fix things.

You know, for us being so different,

I didn't expect we'd have so much in common.

Have you ever been with somebody like me?

Well, I dated this half-Chaldean honey,

but it didn't work out.

Well, what happened?

Do I have to worry about some crazy ex?

No.

Let's just say the love died.

Compliments of the gentleman over there.

That's what's up.

The fuck?

Look like your boy Claude

didn't keep his head on a swivel.

Shit.

Man, you just dug your own grave, nigga.

Nigga, you will see Claude again before I will.

And with the MKs hemmed up,

Techwood mine again, homeboy.

And then it makes you wonder, don't it?

Why was that nigga ready to leave you and come to me?

You see, it's only a matter of time

before everybody realizes what he did.

Nigga, they don't need you.

They need me.

Man, fuck this shit.

Let ride, baby.

You guys sure

you don't want to try anything on the menu?

This is the best soul food place in Ecorse.

All right.

Well, look, I appreciate you guys

coming out and taking the time to sit down

and listen to what I have to say.

I have a business proposition

that will benefit all the parties here.

Listen, Tee and I go way back.

He's a smart businessman and a friend.

You really vouch for this guy?

I wouldn't have brought this to you if I didn't.

Come on.

All right. You guys want to know

why Henri owes you so much money?

It's because I'm putting her out of business

with what I got.

Your product is great, and so is mine.

But right now, it's not about the quality.

It's about the quantity.

I'm a gambling man.

And I would bet this house that the only reason why

you're so hard-pressed on Henri paying you back on time

is 'cause you have a limited supply.

So what are you proposing?

That I will supply you weight at a--at a better price,

of course, and that way,

you could make up for your losses with pure profit.

But all I'm asking for,

that you guys cut Henri off for good.

Your offer is attractive.

I mean, with all the cash coming in,

I'm sure we could find different ways

to align our businesses together.

Yes.

It sounds like an offer we cannot refuse.

Thank you.

Uh, it was a pleasure doing business with you, man.

I appreciate it.

Yes, sir.

Damn, Tee.

You's a cold-blooded motherfucker, bruh.

You chopped Medusa's head clean the fuck off.

Damn straight, man.

Damn straight.

What the fuck?

Meech, I came to warn you.

I don't know what it is, but you gotta watch your back.

Glock's up to something.

You would know, huh?

I'm risking my life to tell you this shit.

I ain't ask you to do that, Angel.

But I did.

Even after you left me.

I see you still wearing my shit.

'Cause it smells like you.

Keep it.

Think of all the good times and shit.

Meech, I'm not fucking with Glock to hurt you.

This ain't about you.

It's about me surviving the best way I know how.

I get it.

That's all I ever wanted was for you to be safe

and know your worth,

and for you to always stand on your own two feet.

Shit, I'm trying.

I'm gonna go check out this new club in Miami.

Just be safe.

You too.

Don't worry. I'll see y'all at Platinum.

That was so hot.

Two is better than one. I can't lie.

Stick around, and we can get

another girl over here.

All right, all right.

Ah!

Man, he must have used one of them bitches to set me up.

What makes you think that?

Who the fuck knew I was gonna be there?

Either that, or he was following me.

Damn.

Shit, I'm glad you straight, dawg.

Shit, them females bringing fire to your ass,

they better be worth the heat, nigga.

Hey, money or pussy,

it's the only two reasons niggas beef with me.

Oh, my God.

Yo, what you want?

You interrupting Highway to Heaven.

What's up? I spoke with Mac,

the boxer, and I've got good news.

I finally found what I was looking for,

but it's in Miami.

Miami?

I'ma tell you all about it when I see you.

Yo, if we gotta do all that, you gotta tell me right now.

Tee, is you coming, or you ain't, man?

I know you gotta ask for permission.

Yeah. Ha-ha. Fuck you, Meech.

I'll meet you there.

At the end of the day,

surviving in the game don't depend on what you think.

It depends on what you do.

It took me a while to learn that.

Speak your piece, man.

Yo, after what Glock just did,

you really finna go behind enemy lines?

That's where the mechanic at, Duff.

I don't got no choice.

Now, if anything's wrong, Angel will let me know.

She was right about tonight.

Look, I know I can't talk your ass out of this.

So the only thing I'm gonna say

is keep your head on that swivel

and you keep your finger on the trigger, a'ight?

'Cause if Glock find out you in town

and his boy not coming home,

all the Angels in the world might not be able to save you.

But Meech always knew,

when your back is against the wall

and you've got nothing left to lose,

you find yourself doing things

you never thought you would or could.

Ahh!

Because some things,

life can never prepare you for.
