? Yeah, we do it 'cause we got it ?

? Just the money and the violence ?

? Back against the wall with just the money and the violence ?

? Yo, it's just the money and the violence ?

? Just the money and the violence. ?

What's up, boss? You got fire?

Follow me.

- [ groaning ] - So what you need?

Fuck is you doin' here, boy? This my block.

Fuck is that work at, nigga?

I ain't got no product.

Man, don't fuckin' play with me.

Money and murder don't mix,

so me blowin' off your head on the block where I get my money

ain't gonna be good for either of us.

Now where the fuck that work at, nigga?

Tsk.

Come up off of that.

Look, I don't know if this was your bright idea

or who sent you,

but whoever came up with this plan,

you let them know that you ain't welcome here.

And I know you knew that shit, so step the fuck off!

- [ chuckles ] - The fuck is so funny?

You, gangsta. [ grunts ]

Get your bitch-ass up out of here

before you make me kill you, nigga!

- Get the fuck out. - You got it.

Fuck wrong with this nigga, man?

Psh-hh, what the fuck?

I don't like that shit, Chop.

That nigga could come back.

Man, fuck that nigga, Lit! This my block!

Motherfuckers know that shit!

So we step off for a couple of days

and niggas think that they on some takeover shit?

That motherfucker know he's wrong!

[ scoffs ] There's a lot

of wrong and strong motherfuckers in this world, Chop.

And there's a lot of wrong and dead ones, too.

Let that boy come back if he feelin' brave.

I got somethin' for his ass.

[ music playing ]

? Hey, hey, hey, hey

? Hey, hey, hey, hey

? Yo, see, I like the way you're moving ?

? And I like the way you do it ?

? Every time you come on top ?

? Understand me, girl, please just don't stop ?

? The money keep on comin' ?

? So, girl, keep on spendin' ?

? Every time you come on top ?

? Got a nigga screamin', please don't stop, stop ?

? Baby, don't stop, don't stop, stop ?

? Baby, don't stop, no...

I really didn't feel like comin' in tonight.

I know it's gonna be dead as shit tonight.

Girl, that's what it's lookin' like.

It definitely feels like it's gonna be one of those nights.

I'm about to go to the locker room,

get my phone, jump on the 'Gram,

and get some of my regulars in here.

- I need some money. - Yo, you get them up in here

- and I'ma get them drunk. - Definitely.

You still didn't get on social media yet, girl?

Madison: Girl, you know that's not my thing.

I don't see the purpose of puttin' my every move out there

for the world to see.

You better get with the times, Madison.

As pretty as you are, you would get a bunch of followers.

Yeah, but what is that doin' for me exactly?

People lookin' and likin' my pictures

helps me out in no way whatsoever.

Armani: It helps on dead nights like these.

Instead of havin' to text these niggas

havin' whole conversations with them

just to get to be like, "This is where I'm at.

Come see me at work tonight,"

you just post up and they come see you.

- And they come? - Hell, yeah, they come!

I have 100,000 followers, Madison.

You not on the 'Gram, so you don't know who I am.

- Who exactly are you? - I'm "@AtomicAssArmani."

Okay, "Atomic Ass Armani." Whatever you say.

You'd be surprised how many guys

will come see you on social media.

You could probably double what you make in a week.

All you gotta do is flirt with them a little in a DM,

make them think they have a chance,

and when they ask you when they're gonna see you,

tell them, "Come see me. I'm at work."

What's a "DM"?

"Direct message."

A direct message?

Yo, that sounds way too complicated.

And besides, Miz ain't havin' that. He would kill me.

Who? I thought you were single?

I am.

Well, maybe I'm trippin',

but I could've sworn you just said somebody would kill you.

Yo, it's complicated.

It's complicated? You know what I learned?

Life is simple. People are complicated.

I know you're not out here lettin' a weak-ass dude

string you along as pretty as you are.

[ sighs ] Look, I don't wanna talk about it, a'ight?

Listen, I know we're not best friends or nothin',

but I really hope you're not out here lettin' no man use you.

'Cause that's what men do.

They use you until they can't no more

and then they drop you like you're disposable.

- I've been there, girl. - Armani, I'm good.

All right, well, I'm goin' to the locker room.

I gotta go get my phone. I need to make some money tonight.

- I'll be back. - All right, girl.

So, Miz, what you thinkin'?

How you feelin' about this food?

You're not gonna believe this shit.

I can't believe this fell in my lap like this.

Yo, what you talkin' about, man?

This ain't the first time some food done fell in our laps.

The food isn't what I'm talkin' about, Rafe.

- So what do you mean? - You remember them dread niggas

that Maggz had told you that we got beef with?

You talkin' about the same ones that were gunnin' for him

- that ended up puttin' him down? - Yeah, them niggas.

Yo, Miz, don't tell me that's the same two dread niggas

- we just saw. - That's my word, Rafe.

I almost couldn't hold it in when I saw them motherfuckers.

Wow!

So I guess we kill two birds with one stone, then-- literally.

BR was already talkin'

about he wants to give it to them niggas,

so this all works out.

Yeah, it's a small world, my G.

And the streets is even smaller.

- Yo, you sure you wanna wait? - What do you mean?

I mean, we already know where they are.

You sure you wanna wait till this lick go down?

It should be in a few days, right?

- Yeah, it's supposed to be. - Okay, so what's the issue?

All I'm sayin', man, when you let things linger,

sometimes they come back to bite you in your ass, man.

- That's all I'm sayin'. - We good.

I waited this long. I can wait a few days longer.

If you say so.

Kane, are you sure you gonna be able to handle this?

- Yeah, I'm sure, Shane. - All right, cool,

'cause my brother is comin' to hold you down

and there's nothin' more annoyin'

than havin' to hold a grown man's hand

- through a situation. - Hold my hand?

I don't need nobody to hold my hand, Shane.

Let's be clear-- havin' your brother hold me down

was your idea, not mine.

Have you forgotten?

You got robbed by a crackhead a few days ago.

Nah, I ain't forget,

but I can guarantee you it won't happen again.

I rather just play it safe, bro.

- Whatever. - [ lock rattling ]

Who's that, your moms?

Oh.

[ door closes ]

What's up?

I didn't know you had a key.

Yeah, Mommy gave it to me, man.

Why the fuck do it matter?

Why are you questioning me, nigga?

You forgot this my crib, too, little nigga?

Nah, I ain't forget, man. Whatever, Barz.

Barz, this is Kane. You probably remember him from the block.

Why the fuck would I remember this little nigga, Shane?

Yo, I'm Dub's little brother.

Oh, okay, okay, okay.

I don't give a fuck who little brother you is, homie.

Especially not no dead nigga.

Yo, Shane, what's up, man?

This the nigga you want me to protect?

Protection? Yo, I don't need no protection.

Yo, Shane, I can do this on my own, son.

Listen, nigga, my little brother feel differently, man.

And this his block. So if he say you need protection,

- you need protection, nigga. - Chill, Barz, chill!

Kane,

this is what's best for you, man.

Just trust me, my dude.

But Barz, me and Kane is partners now,

- so this is ourblock. - Yeah, ourblock!

Yo, listen, Shane, I ain't workin'

for this little silly-ass motherfucker right here, man.

Oh, my God!

Listen, Barz, why you gotta be so difficult?

I'm not about to go back and forth, man!

Listen, it's either you with it or you not.

Yo, Shane, I'm feelin' like

you takin' this little nigga's side right now over mine.

I'm not takin' nobody's side, man.

I'm in a position to make everybody some bread

and this is a situation

where if everybody get caught up,

you're not goin' back to jail.

So are you with it or you not?

All right, I hear you. Cool, little bro.

We gonna get this paper.

Me, you, and your man right here

gonna get this bread, I guess.

- Thank you, man. - All right.

Whatever. I'm outta here.

[ softly ] What the fuck?

[ sighs ]

[ lock clicks ]

- Hey, girl, what's up? - What up?

- Come in. You want a drink? - Nah, I'm good.

A'ight.

[ lock clicks ]

[ door closes ]

So what's up, girl?

Where you been at, China?

I call you and no answer?

- I been at home. - Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Hmm, you sure don't look fine.

- What's up with you? - Nothing.

Tsk, come on, girl.

You know you could talk to me.

[ sighs ]

Me and Cash broke up.

Broke up?

Why? Let me guess.

He was fuckin' around with somebody else, wasn't he?

That is no surprise to me.

I swear, good men are so hard to come by.

You give a dude a little bit of change,

and he swears he's God's gift.

Something like that.

Well, don't get yourself down about that.

What you need to do is get out this house.

That's what you need to do.

I'm fine, Samone.

Hold up, where's the baby?

She's with her grandparents for a couple days.

[ chuckles ] All right, bet.

So I came here to check up on you,

but me and my boo are goin' to Vermont this afternoon.

It's only for one day

and he has this friend.

- I think you should come with us. - Hold up. You have a boo?

Since when?

Well, he's the closest thing to one that I have.

All right, whatever.

But me? I don't feel like going anywhere, girl.

China, co�o.

You need to get out this house.

You're gonna drive yourself crazy.

It's gonna be fun and you know I'm not takin' no for an answer.

All right.

I know you're not gonna give up

until I give in, so let me just save you the trouble.

Yes. Okay.

So we're gonna come back a little bit later

and make sure you pack an overnight bag.

All right, but one last thing.

I better have my own room

because the last thing that I need

is some thirst bucket salivatin' over my butt

for the next 24 hours.

China, they have their own crib.

So you'll definitely have your own room

and they're mad cool. It's gonna be fun.

All right, I'ma take your word for it.

Yes, thank you.

- All right. - We'll come back later on to pick you up.

- All right, girl. - All right.

- Gonna kill you. - [ chuckles ]

[ speaking Jamaican Patois ]

Hey, Jess.

Ooh...? What's all that for?

Haven't seen you in a while.

Well, they had me workin' at the Midtown office or whatever.

But, um, what's all the attitude for?

What's all the attitude for?

Look, Shay,

I know what's been goin' on.

Cut the bullshit.

What's been goin' on?

Like, what are you talkin' about, Jess?

Shay, I know that you've been fuckin' Damon.

Yeah. Don't try to act like it wasn't happenin'

or like it probably still isn't happenin'.

Oh!

Do you have nothin' to say?

I swear if we wasn't at work right now,

I'd bust you upside your weave-ridden head.

Look, Jess, it's not even like that.

Not e-- not even like what?

It ain't even really like your ho-ass

wasn't smilin' in my face

and doin' a dab on Damon's dick?

Wait, "ho"?

Who you callin' a ho?

I call it like I see it.

I mean, what else would you call

your so-called "friend" who's fuckin' your ex-man?

For all I know, y'all probably still fuckin'.

Look, I'ma need you to really chill out with the name-callin'.

Or what?

I'll chill out with the name-callin'

when you chill out with the ho-ass behavior.

[ laughs ]

I'm not about to stand here

and allow you to continue to disrespect me.

Oh, so now I'm disrespectin' you.

But you wasn't disrespectin' me when you was fuckin' Damon?

Let me ask you a question, Jess.

Are you and Damon together?

- What?! - You heard me.

Are you and Damon together?

'Cause last I thought

you didn't want anything to do with him.

So what the fuck does it matter to you

who he's fucking?

'Cause at the end of the day,

truthfully,

it's none of your business who he...

or I... am fucking.

So you're admitting to fucking him?

Hmm, look, Mama,

at this point it is what is, little girl.

Your Little Miss Goody Two-Shoes ass

wasn't good enough for Damon anyway.

Don't be mad 'cause he found...

[ chuckles ] somethin' better.

"Somethin' better"? [ scoffs ]

I can't. You know what?

How long has this been goin' on?

[ laughs ]

You really think that I'm gonna stand here

and give you a play-by-play

on what goes down between me and myman?

You and your who?

I can't. You know what?

Fuck you

and you can continue to fuck him.

Look, Mama,

I didn't need your permission before

and I damn sure don't need your permission now.

[ scoffs ] So, what, you all upset

because I get to call him mine?

[ laughs ]

Call him yours?

Sweetheart, you can't even call him Damon

without him goin' upside your head.

Good luck to you and him both...

- bitch. - Whatever.

- I still call him, though. - Yeah-- "Choppa."

[ music playing ]

? Yo, ain't stoppin' my dough ?

? Yo, ain't stoppin' my flow ?

? And you know that

? I swear these motherfuckers know that ?

? And they know that

- ? I swear these motherfuckers know that... ? - What's up, cuzzo?

I was hittin' you, but you ain't never got back to me, yo.

Yeah, I got myself into a jam,

but I'm good, though.

Just workin' on straightenin' things out.

Anything I can help out with?

Let me know if you need me.

Unless you got bread to pay these lawyer fees, I'm all right, man.

You caught a charge, Buxx?

Yeah, I caught a fuckin' charge, but I'm good, though.

What you wanted to meet up with me about?

I got myself into a little jam, yo.

Word? You all right?

I got into it with somebody.

- How deep? - 30 grand deep.

What the fuck, Black?

How the fuck you get that deep?

My man fronted me some plates

and I tried to get an extra flip in

before I gave him back the bread

- and niggas fucked up the money. - Fucked up the money?

Yo, you better get them dudes to get that paper.

Them dudes ain't got it, Buxx.

I'd be sittin' and waitin' forever.

You see, I be warnin' you about that shady shit you be doin'.

Why even try to get an extra flip in?

Why do you fuckin' find it so hard

to give motherfuckers back they money, Black?

Man, fuck all that. I ain't got no time

to be thinkin' about why the fuckin' milk spilled.

I need to think up a way to clean up this mess.

- You got work? - Yo, what I got

I need so I can pay these lawyer fees.

Fuck!

Fuck.

I gotta get this dude off my back

about this debt, man.

I'm gettin' ready to try to sell a couple of bricks of straight flour.

You got anybody?

Yo, Black, you family and all,

but I told you that shady shit you be doin'

is what got you in a hole right now.

Don't dig yourself any deeper, man.

Nah, you right. You right.

I need to get my hands on some work.

If I can get my hands on some work,

you think you can get anybody that will want it?

[ sighs ] I'm sure I can find somebody.

I'm talkin' about, like, 42.

I need everything I can.

Yo, that's a high fuckin' number for NY.

You can get 55 out in VT,

but I ain't got nobody tryin' to snatch nothin' that big.

Yo, you know what? As a matter of fact,

I got my homie in the A.

He be comin' up here every once in a while

to snatch up some work from me

and I be hittin' him at 45.

45 could really help me out, yo.

Yo, get the fuck outta here, Black.

This ain't no charity case.

That three stacks is my cut.

Damn, Buxx. Here I was sittin' here

- thinkin' we were family and all. - Yeah, we family,

but, nigga, stop frontin'

like you ain't never put your tax on top

any time we've ever done business.

- I hear you. - So what up? You with it?

Yeah, I'm with it. Just make it happen.

Yo, I ain't speak to homie in a minute,

but I'ma reach out to him and see what's good.

But, yo, Black, no funny shit.

I ain't with that underhanded bullshit. I do straight business.

My name A-1 out in the streets

and I ain't tryin' to change that shit.

Nah, I'm cool. Straight business.

I'm just tryin' to get this situation taken care of.

- All right, I'ma see what's good. - ? Ain't stoppin' my dough

? Yo, ain't stoppin' my flow ?

? And they know that...

[ birds chirping ]

Mister, what the fuck is up, man?

What you doin', man?

Fuck outta here, yo!

Mister: Barz! My nigga Barz.

[ laughing ]

- What's good, Barz? - What's goin' on, nigga?

Just came from seein' my little brother, man.

This little motherfucker got me tight, man.

Hold up-- your little brother?

I forgot all about him.

- What's good with him? - He all right.

You all right?

Man, this little nigga got the block doin' numbers, man.

I tell the nigga to put me down.

- He's on some other shit. - Some other shit?

Barz, I ain't gotta tell you

we take what we want!

Nah, nah, chill. I got this.

Right now, he got me holdin' down

some bozo nigga named Kane.

Remember Dub from back in the days?

His little brother.

Oh! Sugar Kane?

That be Shane that be rollin' with him?

Yeah, why?

He backed out the hammer on me not too long ago.

And that nigga Sugar Kane?

His jaw gonna Milly Rock when I see him!

Word? That nigga Shane backed out a hammer on you, huh?

So he think he tough like that?

I was about to rock his ass the second time I saw him,

but he let off a shot, so I left his ass alone.

That little nigga like to play with guns too much.

- Mm. - And that nigga Sugar Kane? Ooh!

That nigga shot at me, too!

Mm, don't even worry about that, man.

I got somethin'. We gonna kill two birds with one stone.

You gonna get your payback on that little nigga Kane

and I'ma teach this motherfucker

that he ain't the man just yet.

I got somethin' for his little ass.

- Come here. - All right.

Look, this is what we gonna do, right?

- Mm-hmm. - You know what I mean?

[ speaking Jamaican Patois ]

[ phone buzzing ]

Hello?

Hey, Mama. What's up?

- Hey, Rafe. What's up? - Nothin' much.

I was just comin' out your building.

You crossed my mind, so I figured I'd check on you.

Yo, is it just me or have you been real distant lately?

I've just had a lot on my mind.

Please don't take it personal.

But, Rafe, can I call you back?

'Cause I'm about to go out to town

with my girl Samone and her boo G.

- Are you good? - Yeah, I'm good.

I was goin' out of town with them

to clear my mind a little bit, you know?

But I'm good, though, I promise.

All right, no prob.

Just make sure you come check me

when you get back, all right?

All right, I got you.

- All right, be safe out there. - All right, I will.

- Later. - Bye.

[ humming ]

3,200,

3,300, 3,400...

- 3,500. - [ sighs ]

Yo, good lookin' on comin' through with this bread, man.

Man, I got you, yo.

I'd rather do this and have my money grow

because, boy, my money's gettin' lower and lower.

Nah, definitely.

With this, you're gonna keep bread in your pocket,

but I'ma need you to understand

we cannot keep doin' that hundred gram re-up

if we're really tryin' to make money.

It's a sacrifice,

so you're gonna have to budget your money

and stop spendin' it on unnecessary stuff.

You might gotta "roach" it for a little while.

- I understand. Cool. - No, I'm serious.

[ doorbell chimes ]

That could be Miz.

You want me to go wait in the bathroom?

You gotta use the bathroom?

Nah, I was gonna sit in there

so you can finish handlin' what you're handlin'.

What? Listen, this is just as much your money as it is mine.

Sit right here.

Shane: Ahem.

What's good?

Yo, let's go in the room.

What up, Miz?

What's this guy doin' here?

- Me and Kane coppin' the work. - Miz: What you mean?

Like I said, me and Kane coppin' a hundred grams.

He about to be my new partner on the block.

Whatever works for you. Yo, where the bread at?

3,500.

This ain't no soft.

You didn't tell me you wanted soft.

All I got is hard right now.

Fuck it, man. This gonna have to do.

All right, cool.

Yo, Kane, I heard you popped Mister.

Maybe there's hope for you after all.

Hey, yo, Shane...

is this cocaine?

This is hard. [ taps ]

This is crack.

Thanks for inviting me out.

I really had a good time.

The pleasure's mine.

Thanks for acceptin' my invite.

How could I turn down a free meal?

- Times are hard out here. - Who you tellin'?

Let me ask you somethin', though.

You don't ever miss your son?

Of course I do.

Why would you even ask me somethin' like that?

I'm just sayin' me and my mother are real close,

so I couldn't imagine bein' away for months on end.

- That's all. - I speak to my son every day.

And besides him comin' up to visit me in the summer,

I try my best throughout the year

to see him as much as possible.

I just think he's better off down there.

What is he missing growin' up out here,

"How to be a gang member 101"?

He has my mother and my father in the A.

A woman cannot teach a boy how to be a man.

Look, I'm not judgin'.

I've seen plenty single mothers do it on their own.

And it's surprisin' to even hear you say that

'cause the role of a father

is one that's not well-respected these days.

I mean, it's crazy.

Like, I find it silly, even disrespectful,

when a woman tells another woman "Happy Father's Day"

because she's a single mother.

I mean, if the king dies,

the queen doesn't become king.

She still remains the queen.

But why should I have a say? I mean, I don't have any kids.

Everyone has a right to an opinion, Archie.

There's some people who don't have children

that know more about parenting than those who do.

That whole Father's Day thing

I always thought was silly.

Now, that's just a syndrome of bitter women.

My son's father was a great man.

He was loving and respectful to me.

I may be a single mother, but I am not bitter.

I was hurt after his death,

but I could never fix my lips

to say that I am capable of performing my role as a mother

and take the place as a father in my son's life.

I mean, for the few months that I've been home,

I've seen my boys go through it.

And honestly-- it just makes me afraid to have children.

There is so much value in a child havin' a father

for little boys and little girls.

A woman can never take the place of a man in a child's life.

There will always be this void

that can only be filled by a man.

And that is why these women grow up to be so damaged.

They got daddy issues.

- Daddy issues? - Daddy issues. All of them.

Yo, "Healthy Cheddar," talk of the town, bro.

Come on, y'all... [ speaking softly ]

Let's get outta here.

- Archie: Daddy issues? - Daddy issues.

- That's funny. - [ Melissa chuckles ]

Yo, watch where you goin', old man.

Is there a motherfuckin' problem, homie?

Yo, 'Los, what's up? You good, bro?

Come on. Come on!

Yeah, listen to your broad, homie.

You know you don't want no problem like this.

- That's a fact. - Melissa: Come on!

Old man.

It is so not worth it!

They coulda had a gun, Archie.

These kids have no respect.

Are you sure everything is okay?

I'm positive.

Yo, what are you doin' at my house, Victor?

You have a beautiful wife, Ronaldo.

A nice home as well.

Trust me, you are nowhere near as frustrated as I am

about me bein' here.

Where is my money?

Look, I need some extra time.

Either that or I need more coke

so I can make the money back for you.

So I am supposed to give you more

for you to pay back what you owe?

You are kidding, Ronaldo.

This is not the time for jokes.

Listen, I'm in a tough position.

$200,000?

That's what I gotta come up with?

Your position is not my concern.

Any mishaps that may occur

by you not being a better judge of character

or more mindful of who you let come around you,

my money and my cocaina is not my concern.

Just as your pretty little wife

and whatever family you may have

is not my concern.

You are a man, no?

Yes, I am, Victor.

Then don't make excuses.

They are monuments of nothingness created by the weak.

Look at your creation.

You are skilled at your craftsmanship, I can see.

You are truly a master at this art of creating excuses,

but I am truly no fan of your work

and can make you disappear

quicker than those words after they leave your lips.

Take responsibility.

Without responsibility, there is no respect.

I understand, Victor.

Do you?

I truly hope so

for your sake, your wife's sake,

and the rest of your family's.

Don't worry. I will have your money.

[ chuckles ] Worry?

Worry is for the prey,

not the predator.

[ car door opens ]

[ car door closes ]

[ engine starts ]

[ man mutters ]

Now, somethin' tells me you're tryin' to set me up for somethin'.

I know how this hustle works.

You pretend you can't play,

- I bet more, so on and so forth. -[ phone buzzing ]

- [ man speaks faintly ] - Man: Yeah!

This ain't my first rodeo.

Oh, oh, hold on a minute.

Hey! What's happenin'?

Ain't nothin', man. How's the A?

Oh, man, everything's copacetic as always.

Been that fuckin' deserved.

How the weather in your neck of the woods?

Man, I can't complain, man.

Just sittin' here watchin' the world

- watch me watch it go by. - [ chuckles ]

Oh, man, now, that's enough

to make a simple motherfucker dizzy.

[ both chuckle ]

But on some real shit, though,

I ain't heard from you in a minute.

You must have stopped fuckin' with Britney.

What? Shee-it.

No, you know I can't leave that bitch alone.

She too good to me. What would I look like?

I mean, really, I just ain't been out that way

'cause, well, really, just 'cause I ain't been out that way, yo.

Truth be told, I actually was thinkin' about comin' up yonder

- in a second. - Yeah?

- You need me? - Oh, yes, sir!

I'm tryin' to have a threesome if I come up that way.

I mean, can you provide me

with two, uh, high-price,

nice quality,

full on the low end white girls?

Man, you know I keep them broads on deck.

Well, listen now,

they gotta be some bad-ass white bitches.

I'm not comin' all the way up to New York City

for just any old thing. I don't want no--

no ugly trailer park-lookin' motherfuckers.

I want some nice, dressed up fancy,

shiny white bitches.

Man, you know I ain't gonna waste your time.

I highly appreciate it, my brother.

The numbers are the same, right?

- For sure. - I'll tell you what.

I shall, uh, keep you posted

and make you aware of my departure time.

No doubt, man. Travel safe.

- I'ma see you when you get up top. - All right, now.

Love. Hey, man, if I don't call you back, man,

tell them I'm in the jungle...

[ Whitey continues ]

Yeah, you already know, man.

- One love, my guy. - Bye, man.

Yo, Black, what's good?

Yo, my homie that I was tellin' you from the A

said he can't link with us at one.

He wants to see if we can link with him at two.

Can we make that work? All right, no doubt. So then we'll link.

All right. Peace.

Things done picked back up.

Yeah, most definitely.

I told you we needed to come back home.

That abandonin' the trap shit was a stupid move.

Shit had other motherfuckers all on our block.

I get it you tryin' to play safe,

but that nigga ain't comin' back, son.

Look, I ain't sleepin' on nobody, Lit.

It does me no benefit

to get into a bang-out in front of the trap either.

The block get hot, custies get scared to cop

'cause they see police all over the place

and we still end up makin' no money.

[ scoffs ] So fuck it.

Why we don't go back to BK

and just finish what we started?

- I can't do that, Lit. - Why not?

Instead of walkin' around with that shit hangin' over your head,

nigga, nip that shit in the bud ASAP.

I can't do that, man.

Chop, what the fuck is goin' on?

You can't do that?

Nigga, you don't make no sense right now.

Look, I can't do it because of Jessica, Lit.

She know homie. So as long as that nigga

don't bring his bald-head ass back here...

- Hmm. - ...then he good.

If he come back, through,

then it is what it is.

Word. Damn, it's a small world.

And the streets are even smaller, bro.

Chop, you buggin'. How the fuck she know

you the one that shot the nigga?

You was runnin' out the building that fast, nigga?

She was comin' in the buildin' when we was runnin' out.

I ran right into her.

Shocked the shit out of me, too.

- Psh-hh. - And, bro, you need to pay closer attention

- to what's goin' on around you, Lit. - Man, fuck that, nigga!

I had to get outta Dodge!

I know after hearin' a shot

go off in the hallway that late,

somebody had to have to call the boys.

But on a next note, I wouldn't be sittin' back

waitin' for the next man to come catch me slippin',

but I guess you know what you doin'.

Choppa: It is what it is.

What's meant to be will be.

Tsk.

Oh, man.

Where the fuck is this dude Barz at, man?

I told him to be here like an hour ago!

Yo, I don't know why you worried about him.

I told you I could do this on my own.

Kane, I'll feel more comfortable

with him bein' there with you.

And, truthfully, I just wanna give his ass somethin' to do

so he could stay out of trouble.

My nigga, he's gonna be here every day

'cause we're payin' him.

And I don't want him to go back to jail.

All right, man.

If you put it like that, I got you.

But, yo, gimme a second.

- I'll be right back. - Huh?

[ grunts ]

This nigga takin' forever, man.

What's good, nigga?

Barz, where the fuck was you at, man?

I was waitin' for you for, like, an hour!

A'ight, nigga. Fuck I had to be here early for?

I ain't "Top Flight Security," motherfucker.

My nigga, I'm not beefin' with you.

But I'm lettin' you know I was here for, like, an hour.

All right, bottom line is I'm here now, nigga.

Mr. Bozo Protection Services is here.

Yo, stop callin' me a bozo, son.

Hey, Shane, who the fuck this nigga talkin' to, man?

You better check this nigga before I check him, man.

Matter of fact, what's up?

- I'm talkin' to you, bozo. - Chill, Barz, chill!

Damn!

Fuck are we sittin' here beefin' with each other for?

We supposed to be tryin' to get this money,

not hottin' ourselves up.

You know what, you're right, little bro.

You know what I mean? If that's your man,

that's like my little brother, too, then.

Pardon me. I was just fuckin' with you, little bro.

- All right, man. - Know what I mean?

We good?

- We're good. - The fuck I'm talkin' about, nigga.

Now let's get this bread, y'all.

- Exactly, let's go. - All right.

Fuck happened to your eye, nigga?

Psh-hh, long story.

What's up, Black?

I don't see a bag.

You supposed to have a bag for me

because I don't take credit.

Yo, June, things ain't movin' the way I expected.

I'm really tryin' to get that money to you,

but I'm havin' a hard time.

I don't want you to think that I'm playin' games or anything,

so that's why I'm here tryin' to be honest with you, man.

I respect your honesty,

but honesty isn't gonna pay me back that 35 grand.

You still got those plates? Bring them back.

I don't wanna do that. Like I told you,

I already put it out there, so it's scattered.

Plus, I'd rather just pay you back the bread.

I know the bud is gonna move,

but it's not movin' as fast as I expected.

And I don't wanna keep you waitin', man.

Okay, but you tellin' me that you ain't got the paper,

so what the fuck else can I do but wait?

I don't want you to wait.

I'm tryin' to see if I could at least

hit you off piece by piece.

I usually don't like that piece-by-piece shit,

but in this situation,

I guess somethin' is better than nothin'.

Cool, so peep this. I got this guy

that's comin' down to cop two joints,

but I don't got nothin'. He ready to pay 45.

I was thinkin' about lettin' you eat off that cushion

if you would let me get them joints

and we could take that off my debt.

You think you can get your hands on some birds?

Yeah, I can, but that's 80 racks

I'm gonna have to put up for somethin' I don't need right now.

What if your man is fakin' the funk or changes his mind?

Then I'm stuck with all that work.

Nah, the homie, he A-1, Junior,

and he a man of his word.

- You sure about that? - I'm positive. He's good for it.

I'm just really tryin' to pay you back your money

so I can get this debt that's hangin' over my head.

No, I understand what you're tryin' to do.

Fuck it.

I'll make the call to my man

to see if he's still got those.

But, yo, you're comin' with me to cop those joints.

The last time I got up with this dude,

his face looked real familiar

and somethin' just didn't feel right.

But this is basically for you,

so you gonna have to come to hold me down.

I got you, my dude.

Trust. I got you.

This vast world is nothing but a playground to a giant.

Each time I hear the phrase, it makes me smile.

There's nothing more intoxicating than power.

Yes, it is. But there's nothing more sobering

than that fall from grace.

Sometimes I feel as if you don't believe.

We are on fucking top, Capone.

So when God smiles at you,

it's okay to smile back.

There were others before us, Victor.

There will be others to come.

Power is a false sense of invincibility.

One thing about invincibility--

you only are until you aren't.

So while I am, let me dance as the music plays.

Speakin' of music,

someone may need to face it.

It seems that fear wasn't enough.

What is is none of my concern.

My attention span is very short.

I have already moved on to what will be.

So what has brought this about?

The man claims that he was robbed,

but that is none of my concern.

What if he was?

Why are you so quick to think that his words is lies?

I never said I doubted the honesty of his words.

So what's the problem?

The problem is I shouldn't be the one

to suffer the consequences

of the fact that he needs to choose better friends.

I don't quite seem to understand.

You have your methods

and I have mine.

Anyway, I suggest you let your new blood

handle this indiscretion.

Let him prove to us once more

how loyal he is to our cause.

You have so many hands on call for this task.

Why my new blood?

It makes me feel more comfortable

to know that he's intertwined with our dealings.

Nothing, and I mean nothing,

seals a bond tighter than blood.

You seem to have your reasons.

When do you want this done?

Hold off on a when, but just let him know

that we'll be givin' him the privilege

of doin' us a favor once more.

I forget how beautiful it is up here.

Of course you do.

It is your choice to operate in the gutter.

I find it much easier to breathe up here.

And from up here,

you can see people for who they really are.

And when you look at them on the ground,

they look like itty-bitty cucarachas

just waiting to be stepped on.

Are we done here, es�?

Yes.

Thank you for your time, carnal.

Sim�n.

[ door closes ]

You wanted to see me?

Well, first of all, how was your trip?

It wasn't much of a trip.

Kind of like an overnight thing.

I honestly just went to clear my head,

but I couldn't get much of that done

'cause the guys were bein' so extra.

Extra? Extra how?

Extra. You know how guys get.

Flashing cash, just doing the most.

For example, I came out the room for breakfast

and there was, like, 30 grand layin' on the table.

And I could tell he put it there on purpose.

- So corny. - Who's this?

My girl Samone,

her boo G and his friend,

but his friend was the one that was bugging.

Oh, yeah? What do they do?

They hustle. They got a crib in Vermont.

Oh, word? So, yo,

you think there's paper like that in that crib?

I can see the wheels turnin' already.

Nah, chill, Rafe.

I cannot let that happen. That's Samone's boo.

That's her boo? How you know that?

She know everything about him,

where he get his work from and all that.

Shit, she know all that, then I guess that is her boo.

All right, no doubt. So homie off-limits,

but niggas better stop flashin' cash around random females.

I don't see shit endin' too well for them.

There's wolves everywhere.

That's not my problem. I did my job

by keeping your ass off of him.

- That's her boo. - All right, whatever, man.

But, yo, what's good with you?

Yeah, I'm good. Why you keep asking?

I don't know, man. It's like I can't put my finger on it,

but somethin's been off with you lately.

I'ma be honest.

I was in a little bit of a fog for a little bit,

but I'm good now. Thank you for asking.

Nah, no doubt, man. You know I gotta make sure you good.

Tsk.

[ sighs ]

Yo, man!

Where the hell is this dude Barz at?

It don't take 45 minutes to go to the store.

The store's right there.

Yo, chill out, Shane.

He probably bumped into somebody he knows.

Tsk.

He said he was gonna get me something to drink!

I'm thirsty!

Yo, bro, you know you live right upstairs, right?

You could go upstairs and get something to drink and come back.

I'll wait.

Yo, bro, I don't need a babysitter.

There's no way in hell you believe you can't go upstairs,

get yourself somethin' to drink,

and come back without me fuckin' up.

You can't be serious.

All right, man.

But when Barz come, tell him to stay right here

- till I get back. - All right, say no more, man.

[ door closes ]

[ phone buzzes ]

Yo!

Yo, Grand. What's good, brother?

Everything good, man.

You around?

Yeah, I just got back in town.

- What's good? - I need to see you again.

Okay.

So everything was love with the last job?

Definitely.

I'ma need two pairs of boots this time.

All right. Let me hit the homie and make sure we good.

All right, just hit me back.

All right. Got you.

All right. One.

Oh, shit!

- Fuck. - Mister: Oh!

This nigga Sugar Kane.
