2
00:02:35,407 --> 00:02:39,008
Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
Can't nobody get me.
3
00:02:39,105 --> 00:02:40,620
Can't nobody get me.
4
00:02:45,060 --> 00:02:46,403
Can't nobody get me.
5
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,547
One, two, three, four, five,
6
00:02:53,657 --> 00:02:56,025
six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
eleven, twelve...
7
00:02:56,096 --> 00:02:57,528
I want chocolate.
8
00:02:57,597 --> 00:02:59,759
You gonna get yours.
Everybody gonna get theirs.
9
00:02:59,833 --> 00:03:02,894
- I want chocolate.
- All right. Here you go.
10
00:03:03,872 --> 00:03:05,499
You got a rhyme or something?
11
00:03:05,573 --> 00:03:07,302
I got a rhyme or something.
12
00:03:07,377 --> 00:03:09,369
I kick rhymes automatic.
13
00:03:09,446 --> 00:03:11,210
Addicted to changes
like leaves.
14
00:03:11,283 --> 00:03:12,578
My black is gold like bees.
15
00:03:12,649 --> 00:03:15,484
So stingray on a sunny day,
16
00:03:15,553 --> 00:03:19,182
while the little kids sit out
and play or converse.
17
00:03:19,292 --> 00:03:21,726
Getting ready for
the ice cream truck...
18
00:03:24,565 --> 00:03:26,693
You wrote somethin'?
19
00:03:26,801 --> 00:03:28,702
No, I just know
a little something.
20
00:03:28,771 --> 00:03:31,638
- What you got?
- I got a little something.
21
00:03:31,706 --> 00:03:35,199
My name is little Troy,
and I'm known as a big boy.
22
00:03:35,276 --> 00:03:39,339
I gotta put some more
at the end, though.
23
00:03:39,417 --> 00:03:41,580
I'll help you with it,
if you want.
24
00:03:44,427 --> 00:03:47,224
So, yo, what's up with Keisha?
25
00:03:47,296 --> 00:03:49,092
Yo, the chick is bugging yo.
26
00:03:49,165 --> 00:03:51,362
She keeps hitting on me.
27
00:03:56,573 --> 00:03:59,409
I need something to get my head right,
know what I'm saying?
28
00:03:59,479 --> 00:04:00,673
You gonna share
some blessing with me?
29
00:04:00,746 --> 00:04:01,804
Oh, yeah. I got you.
30
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,649
- Please.
- Medicine for you.
31
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,554
This is my prescription.
32
00:04:08,622 --> 00:04:10,283
Ah, that's what I'm talkin'.
33
00:04:10,359 --> 00:04:13,956
This is that Maui-Waui, right?
34
00:04:14,030 --> 00:04:16,464
This is the truth.
So help you God.
35
00:04:16,566 --> 00:04:19,595
So, uh, after smokin' this,
36
00:04:19,704 --> 00:04:22,673
I'll understand some of that shit you
be talkin' about in your rhymes, right?
37
00:04:24,143 --> 00:04:26,110
Probably not.
38
00:04:26,311 --> 00:04:28,406
- Good luck.
- Peace.
39
00:04:37,094 --> 00:04:39,085
Them brothers is strong.
Them brothers is strong.
40
00:04:39,163 --> 00:04:45,537
- He pulled that trigger, too.
- He didn't pull that trigger.
41
00:04:45,706 --> 00:04:48,140
Ain't nobody comin' up
in Dodge City like that, man.
42
00:04:48,207 --> 00:04:50,676
If I have to go through there,
if I have to go through there,
43
00:04:50,744 --> 00:04:52,644
somebody gonna
be like Biggie and Tupac.
44
00:04:52,713 --> 00:04:54,704
Look, you handle your business.
Don't let your business handle you.
45
00:04:54,816 --> 00:04:56,510
You know what I'm saying?
46
00:05:11,137 --> 00:05:13,665
- What's up, yo?
- Hey, what's up?
47
00:05:26,291 --> 00:05:29,785
- Hey, what's up, man?
- What's going on?
48
00:05:30,663 --> 00:05:33,155
So, I got some good things
I'm tryin' to invest in, you know?
49
00:05:33,266 --> 00:05:35,929
- I hear. I know.
- I gotta make it big.
50
00:05:36,003 --> 00:05:38,735
- You know I'm writing everyday.
- Everyday. You gotta give me that.
51
00:05:38,808 --> 00:05:41,469
'Cause I'm going with you,
you know what I'm saying?
52
00:05:41,544 --> 00:05:42,602
So, you gonna start the label?
53
00:05:42,711 --> 00:05:44,806
Yeah, I want you to
do that record label.
54
00:05:44,881 --> 00:05:46,610
I got the money invested in it.
55
00:05:46,683 --> 00:05:48,448
Look, I want you to do me a favor.
56
00:05:48,519 --> 00:05:51,354
- What's that?
- I got this new chick, right?
57
00:05:51,424 --> 00:05:55,450
I want you to give me some good
shit to tell her, you know?
58
00:05:55,527 --> 00:05:57,830
Slick shit to say to her.
You know what I'm saying?
59
00:05:57,901 --> 00:06:01,462
I'm serious, man.
You got to do that for me, man.
60
00:06:01,539 --> 00:06:03,266
You gotta give me the right
poems and shit.
61
00:06:03,339 --> 00:06:06,437
Man, look, I don't want
to read that junk, you know,
62
00:06:06,513 --> 00:06:08,479
I just want to remember
something.
63
00:06:08,548 --> 00:06:09,946
I think if you write it,
you better read that shit.
64
00:06:10,015 --> 00:06:13,418
I don't want you to write
no heavy poems and shit.
65
00:06:13,486 --> 00:06:14,919
I ain't gonna be sittin' there
singin' to the bitch.
66
00:06:15,021 --> 00:06:17,615
I ain't no R. Kelly.
Know what I'm saying?
67
00:06:17,724 --> 00:06:20,719
I want you to sit there
and give me a little something.
68
00:06:20,796 --> 00:06:23,422
You know what I'm saying?
It's like that.
69
00:06:23,498 --> 00:06:24,728
You my man.
You gotta look out for me.
70
00:06:24,801 --> 00:06:27,168
- I got ya. Look...
- What's up?
71
00:06:27,238 --> 00:06:29,297
Um, I'm runnin' low,
can you look out for me?
72
00:06:29,374 --> 00:06:31,707
Yeah. I got that.
I'll look out for you.
73
00:06:31,778 --> 00:06:33,609
But, look, come back later on,
74
00:06:33,713 --> 00:06:35,908
meet me at Dodge City,
around about 1O:3O.
75
00:06:35,982 --> 00:06:39,178
- And I got you, okay?
- And I got you then, too.
76
00:06:39,853 --> 00:06:41,343
- Bye.
- Okay.
77
00:07:42,235 --> 00:07:44,227
It's gonna be a hot one tonight.
I can feel it.
78
00:07:44,304 --> 00:07:46,331
I'm gettin' too old for this shit.
79
00:07:48,276 --> 00:07:50,176
Tell them to get some
additional units because,
80
00:07:50,245 --> 00:07:52,579
they been actin' kind of silly,
know what I mean?
81
00:07:52,682 --> 00:07:53,910
These young boys, you know,
82
00:07:53,984 --> 00:07:57,852
that rap music they got
is drivin' 'em crazy.
83
00:07:57,922 --> 00:07:59,185
Come in, EC-1.
84
00:07:59,258 --> 00:08:02,624
Let all units know that...
be heads up.
85
00:08:02,694 --> 00:08:03,956
You got it, EC-1.
86
00:08:05,932 --> 00:08:08,093
You remember that song,
"What's your name?"
87
00:08:08,168 --> 00:08:09,796
- Oh, yeah, yeah.
- Remember that one?
88
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,075
Why don't you hit it? Hit it.
89
00:08:14,146 --> 00:08:18,047
? What's your name??
90
00:08:18,116 --> 00:08:22,315
- ? Have I seen you before??
- ? Have I met you before...
91
00:08:22,422 --> 00:08:23,650
You don't remember that song, man?
92
00:08:23,723 --> 00:08:25,624
It's "I have seen you before,"
goddamn it.
93
00:08:25,693 --> 00:08:26,489
So, how does it go?
94
00:08:26,593 --> 00:08:28,925
Is it "What's your name?
I have seen you before?
95
00:08:28,996 --> 00:08:30,155
May I walk you to your door?"
96
00:08:30,229 --> 00:08:33,999
Jesus Christ. What you talkin' about?
You know the damn song.
97
00:08:34,070 --> 00:08:37,904
? What's your name??
98
00:08:37,974 --> 00:08:41,912
? I have seen you before?
99
00:08:41,979 --> 00:08:45,643
? What's your name??
100
00:08:45,717 --> 00:08:49,622
? May I walk you to your door??
101
00:09:08,415 --> 00:09:10,178
- What's up?
- What's up?
102
00:09:10,250 --> 00:09:11,946
What's goin' on?
103
00:09:12,019 --> 00:09:14,852
How you doin', man?
Here you go.
104
00:09:14,923 --> 00:09:18,859
- Be careful with that.
- Thank you.
105
00:09:19,027 --> 00:09:20,997
- Everything all right?
- Yeah.
106
00:09:21,063 --> 00:09:22,690
Look, I want you to do
what I asked you.
107
00:09:22,766 --> 00:09:25,166
I got you.
This is what you're gonna say:
108
00:09:25,236 --> 00:09:27,230
"You massage
the universe's spine,
109
00:09:27,307 --> 00:09:31,266
the way you twirl through time,
and leave shadows on the sun."
110
00:09:33,078 --> 00:09:34,945
- You got that?
- You a bad motherfucker.
111
00:09:35,016 --> 00:09:37,108
I ain't got that though.
Give me that shit again.
112
00:09:37,183 --> 00:09:41,214
"You massage the universe's spine
the way you twirl through time,
113
00:09:41,291 --> 00:09:43,852
and leave shadows on the sun."
114
00:09:43,928 --> 00:09:45,760
That's all right.
115
00:10:30,922 --> 00:10:32,584
I didn't do anything.
116
00:10:32,724 --> 00:10:34,455
- What's this?
- It's just weed.
117
00:10:34,529 --> 00:10:37,088
Just weed?
It's illegal weed.
118
00:10:37,196 --> 00:10:40,499
What makes you think you
can use drugs in our city?
119
00:10:40,570 --> 00:10:42,560
- What's your name?
- Raymond Joshua.
120
00:10:42,639 --> 00:10:45,401
- Raymond what?
- Raymond Joshua.
121
00:10:45,473 --> 00:10:48,035
Buddy, let me tell you.
You're in deep shit.
122
00:10:49,380 --> 00:10:50,608
Let's go, man.
123
00:11:03,232 --> 00:11:06,690
Matter before the court,
number 47 on the lock-up,
124
00:11:06,801 --> 00:11:10,136
United States vs. Raymond Joshua.
125
00:11:10,207 --> 00:11:12,300
Your Honor, the defendant
was apprehended
126
00:11:12,408 --> 00:11:14,240
fleeing the scene of a shooting.
127
00:11:14,312 --> 00:11:16,874
A man was shot in the head
during a drug transaction
128
00:11:16,950 --> 00:11:18,941
in which this man was involved.
129
00:11:19,019 --> 00:11:21,316
My God, what a way
to start a Monday morning.
130
00:11:21,387 --> 00:11:25,486
Here you have the Congress taking
a lot of power from the city counsel
131
00:11:25,561 --> 00:11:27,720
and the office of the Mayor,
the Board of Education,
132
00:11:27,796 --> 00:11:32,566
and the people of Washington
and then we have Mr. Joshua.
133
00:11:32,637 --> 00:11:34,866
Without getting into whether
you're guilty or not,
134
00:11:34,940 --> 00:11:39,968
I just know that these drugs
are killing our community.
135
00:11:40,078 --> 00:11:43,015
Mr. Prosecutor, what's the
government's position on bail?
136
00:11:43,083 --> 00:11:44,550
The government feels
that this defendant
137
00:11:44,651 --> 00:11:47,119
poses a substantial risk
of flight, Your Honor.
138
00:11:47,220 --> 00:11:49,688
He was apprehended fleeing
the scene of a shooting.
139
00:11:49,757 --> 00:11:54,424
We would like to see the bond
set in the amount of $10,000 surety.
140
00:11:55,934 --> 00:12:00,531
This court will enter a plea of
not guilty on behalf of Mr. Joshua.
141
00:12:00,607 --> 00:12:03,302
And this proceeding is adjourned
until Monday morning, 11 o'clock.
142
00:12:03,377 --> 00:12:04,900
Thank you, gentlemen.
143
00:12:04,978 --> 00:12:06,376
Thank you, Your Honor.
144
00:12:25,940 --> 00:12:27,304
Watch your step.
145
00:12:29,909 --> 00:12:31,104
- Watch your step.
- Ow!
146
00:12:39,189 --> 00:12:42,181
Turn on the fucking air conditioner.
147
00:12:42,259 --> 00:12:46,359
AC, motherfucker.
Give me some fucking AC.
148
00:12:46,434 --> 00:12:48,264
Man, will you
shut the fuck up back there?
149
00:12:48,335 --> 00:12:50,931
My name is fucking Jimmy Huang.
150
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,976
Get me the fuck out of this van.
151
00:12:54,044 --> 00:12:57,912
Hey! You, up there in the front.
152
00:12:57,982 --> 00:13:01,040
I shouldn't fucking
be in this van, man.
153
00:13:01,116 --> 00:13:02,949
You know who my dad is?
154
00:13:03,020 --> 00:13:05,923
Shit. It's hot in this fucking van.
155
00:13:05,991 --> 00:13:07,688
You scared, man?
156
00:13:07,762 --> 00:13:09,786
Shut the fuck up.
157
00:13:35,162 --> 00:13:37,256
It ain't nothing but sweat
inside my hands.
158
00:13:37,433 --> 00:13:39,128
So I dig into my pockets...
159
00:13:39,535 --> 00:13:41,970
There's an MC in the van.
160
00:13:42,038 --> 00:13:45,601
There's an MC in the van.
Great.
161
00:13:45,677 --> 00:13:48,238
Another black rapper.
162
00:13:52,018 --> 00:13:53,350
...thinking of the master plan.
163
00:13:53,687 --> 00:13:56,783
So I walk up the street,
whistling this,
164
00:13:56,892 --> 00:13:59,156
feeling out of place,
'cause, man, do I miss,
165
00:13:59,261 --> 00:14:02,527
a pen and a paper,
a stereo, a table...
166
00:14:03,566 --> 00:14:06,297
Would you shut the fuck up?
Would you shut the fuck up?
167
00:14:06,370 --> 00:14:09,396
Would you shut the fuck up?
Would you shut the fuck up?
168
00:14:09,473 --> 00:14:13,504
Would you shut the fuck up?
Would you shut the fuck up?
169
00:14:15,615 --> 00:14:18,016
Get this guy to shut up.
170
00:14:41,115 --> 00:14:43,949
I'd like to find out who's
gonna keep this little thing quiet.
171
00:14:44,486 --> 00:14:48,650
Shake his hand and say, thank you.
172
00:14:48,923 --> 00:14:54,195
Damn. I miss Italy.
173
00:14:54,399 --> 00:14:56,664
Do you miss Italy?
174
00:14:57,838 --> 00:15:00,672
You ever listen to Wu Tang?
175
00:15:34,884 --> 00:15:36,980
All right.
Let's go. Let's go.
176
00:15:51,408 --> 00:15:53,969
What's up, man?
177
00:15:54,044 --> 00:15:57,014
- You heard about Mike?
- Yeah, I heard about it.
178
00:15:57,814 --> 00:15:59,478
So, what happened?
179
00:15:59,618 --> 00:16:01,143
I don't even know.
180
00:16:01,221 --> 00:16:03,017
I can't call it.
181
00:16:03,255 --> 00:16:06,156
You know, the word in here is,
"watch your back."
182
00:16:08,263 --> 00:16:09,660
All right.
183
00:16:28,157 --> 00:16:30,421
- What's wrong with me?
- China dog.
184
00:16:30,526 --> 00:16:31,686
What's wrong with me,
China dog?
185
00:16:31,859 --> 00:16:33,691
I shouldn't be in this
fucking jail, man!
186
00:16:33,828 --> 00:16:35,320
I don't want to be here!
187
00:16:35,464 --> 00:16:37,990
I shouldn't be here
with you motherfuckers!
188
00:16:38,167 --> 00:16:41,695
Get the fuck away from me!
I'll get the fuck away from you!
189
00:16:41,839 --> 00:16:44,071
Fuck you, motherfucker!
190
00:16:44,210 --> 00:16:46,440
Hey, man, y'all need to shut up!
191
00:16:46,546 --> 00:16:49,106
Just get me some toilet paper.
192
00:16:49,551 --> 00:16:53,114
What do you want with me, man?
Get off of me.
193
00:16:54,156 --> 00:16:57,249
What's up, yo?
What's up, yo?
194
00:16:57,326 --> 00:17:00,192
What, what the fuck
do you want with me, man?
195
00:17:00,263 --> 00:17:02,288
I'll fuckin'
kill all of you! Shit!
196
00:17:02,365 --> 00:17:04,095
Get the fuck off me,
I'll kill you!
197
00:17:04,167 --> 00:17:06,070
- Sit the fuck down, man.
- Fuck you, man!
198
00:17:06,138 --> 00:17:07,935
Sit down. Sit down.
All right?
199
00:17:10,909 --> 00:17:13,608
What's your fuckin'
problem, yo?
200
00:17:13,748 --> 00:17:17,048
You're about to get fuckin'
killed in this place.
201
00:17:17,686 --> 00:17:20,352
Yeah? I guess I am.
202
00:17:33,875 --> 00:17:36,969
What the fuck you tryin' to do?
Why don't you just sit down, all right?
203
00:17:37,078 --> 00:17:41,176
If you're not supposed to be here,
then you won't be here.
204
00:17:41,385 --> 00:17:44,148
Give it a second
and you'll disappear.
205
00:17:45,822 --> 00:17:48,020
Hey, Mr. Huang, let's go.
206
00:17:48,095 --> 00:17:50,325
That's me.
207
00:17:50,396 --> 00:17:52,991
I told you I was out of here, man.
208
00:18:01,044 --> 00:18:02,511
Time to go.
209
00:18:03,146 --> 00:18:05,377
I told you guys.
210
00:18:05,650 --> 00:18:07,345
Remember when
you spit on my buddy?
211
00:18:07,486 --> 00:18:09,715
We got a
goin' away present for you.
212
00:18:09,787 --> 00:18:11,687
- Let's go.
- A what?
213
00:18:11,757 --> 00:18:13,693
A what? No!
214
00:18:25,807 --> 00:18:27,776
I'm your attorney.
215
00:18:27,877 --> 00:18:29,436
I've been assigned by the court
to represent you.
216
00:18:29,513 --> 00:18:32,951
I'm a public defender.
I've been asked by the prosecutor
217
00:18:33,051 --> 00:18:36,614
to see if we can cut a deal,
which means plead guilty or cop out.
218
00:18:36,690 --> 00:18:38,851
Let me ask you this:
Are you guilty?
219
00:18:40,295 --> 00:18:44,163
- Of what?
- Of the marijuana,
possession of marijuana.
220
00:18:49,573 --> 00:18:52,543
Uh, I mean, I don't know.
221
00:18:55,081 --> 00:18:57,346
I can't get a trial
or something?
222
00:18:57,416 --> 00:18:59,350
Well, you can get a trial.
They call that cop or rock.
223
00:18:59,418 --> 00:19:01,250
You can take the cop,
we plead,
224
00:19:01,321 --> 00:19:03,051
or you can rock,
which means we can take it to trial.
225
00:19:03,157 --> 00:19:04,989
But if you lose,
you're looking at ten.
226
00:19:05,060 --> 00:19:08,393
Mandatory ten.
You have to do 85 percent of ten.
227
00:19:08,464 --> 00:19:10,662
Which means eight and a half years.
228
00:19:10,736 --> 00:19:12,168
So wait. If I try to fight it,
229
00:19:12,236 --> 00:19:14,830
I have to serve more time for
just trying to fight it?
230
00:19:14,906 --> 00:19:17,339
If you get found guilty, you would.
231
00:19:17,608 --> 00:19:21,638
And usually, the success ratio
of convictions on drug cases,
232
00:19:21,782 --> 00:19:23,716
is about 9O to 95 percent.
233
00:19:23,784 --> 00:19:26,547
If you lock up ten people,
nine, nine and a half go to jail.
234
00:19:26,653 --> 00:19:30,718
But the chances of beating it,
is like trying to throw a...
235
00:19:30,827 --> 00:19:32,762
a snowball into an elephant's
mouth at a hundred feet.
236
00:19:32,864 --> 00:19:34,800
You can't make it.
237
00:19:34,869 --> 00:19:37,565
You are in trouble.
You are a victim, a casualty of war.
238
00:19:37,638 --> 00:19:39,433
You got two options, three:
239
00:19:39,506 --> 00:19:41,599
You can plead guilty
to a simple possession,
240
00:19:41,675 --> 00:19:44,700
which is two to three years,
eighteen months to two years.
241
00:19:44,777 --> 00:19:48,149
You can go to trial and run the
risk of doing ten years if guilty.
242
00:19:48,217 --> 00:19:52,017
Or, you can cooperate.
Which means you can rat, snitch,
243
00:19:52,089 --> 00:19:55,581
blow the whistle on whoever you want
to blow it on, in order to get out.
244
00:19:55,659 --> 00:19:58,561
Cooperate, which I'm not gonna do.
245
00:19:58,629 --> 00:20:01,225
You say I can't even fight it
'cause I'll serve more time.
246
00:20:01,334 --> 00:20:05,136
This doesn't make any fucking sense.
None whatsoever, man.
247
00:20:05,206 --> 00:20:06,606
It don't make any sense at all.
248
00:20:06,675 --> 00:20:08,073
There's niggas
out there doing mad shit.
249
00:20:08,143 --> 00:20:12,410
My man is down, you know?
They shoot my man, they're running free.
250
00:20:12,481 --> 00:20:14,279
There's niggas out there
selling all types of shit.
251
00:20:14,352 --> 00:20:16,252
I got a quarter pound of weed,
and you're telling me here
252
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,381
I got to serve five to ten years
and there's not shit you can do for me?
253
00:20:19,458 --> 00:20:21,394
I don't have any choices?
254
00:20:21,462 --> 00:20:23,986
Fuck this
old casualty of war shit, man.
255
00:20:24,064 --> 00:20:27,933
I'm saying,
I'm just out there surviving.
256
00:20:28,004 --> 00:20:30,233
What can I do?
257
00:20:30,339 --> 00:20:32,274
I know it sounds like a lot of time,
258
00:20:32,341 --> 00:20:34,674
but most guys get
a lot longer than that, man.
259
00:20:34,778 --> 00:20:38,941
The best or most I can do
is try to get you two or three.
260
00:20:39,048 --> 00:20:42,782
Even if you were innocent,
I could only get you two to three.
261
00:20:42,854 --> 00:20:45,552
You are a victim, brother.
You're black, you're young,
262
00:20:45,624 --> 00:20:47,286
you come from the Southeast,
you're in the inner city.
263
00:20:47,395 --> 00:20:50,159
You don't have a chance.
Your best chance is to see
264
00:20:50,231 --> 00:20:53,256
how little time you get
before you get back to society.
265
00:20:53,334 --> 00:20:55,895
It ain't about beating it.
When they lock you up, you dead.
266
00:20:57,842 --> 00:21:01,106
Raymond Joshua, step out.
267
00:21:05,950 --> 00:21:08,045
When you're in this building,
I want you to stay alive.
268
00:21:08,120 --> 00:21:11,420
So listen carefully to me.
Nobody in here is your brother.
269
00:21:11,490 --> 00:21:14,653
I don't care if they're as black
as you are, or as light as daylight.
270
00:21:14,727 --> 00:21:16,358
They are not your brother.
271
00:21:16,433 --> 00:21:18,560
You mind your business, son,
and you'll stay alive.
272
00:21:18,634 --> 00:21:20,661
Every day somebody
gets shanked in here.
273
00:21:20,737 --> 00:21:22,673
Every day somebody
gets beaten up in here.
274
00:21:22,742 --> 00:21:24,332
We got predators in here, son.
275
00:21:24,409 --> 00:21:27,639
We got people that'll cut your throat
for nothing but a pack of cigarettes.
276
00:21:27,712 --> 00:21:31,877
You mind your business in here, son.
Do you understand where you are?
277
00:21:34,052 --> 00:21:35,489
Have a seat in here.
278
00:21:52,849 --> 00:21:54,476
Raymond Joshua.
279
00:22:01,056 --> 00:22:04,392
Right over here, come on.
Put everything on the table.
280
00:22:16,945 --> 00:22:19,709
Open your mouth.
Lift your arms.
281
00:22:19,782 --> 00:22:21,306
Lift your tongue.
282
00:22:21,384 --> 00:22:23,317
Lift your balls.
283
00:22:23,386 --> 00:22:25,717
Turn around and spread your cheeks
with both hands at the same time.
284
00:22:25,787 --> 00:22:28,383
Show me the bottom
of your feet.
285
00:22:28,459 --> 00:22:30,362
Turn around and face me.
Bend over at the waist.
286
00:22:30,429 --> 00:22:33,262
Run your fingers
through your hair.
287
00:22:33,333 --> 00:22:35,266
Hold this under your chin
just like this.
288
00:22:37,206 --> 00:22:38,728
Your number is going to
be given to you.
289
00:22:38,806 --> 00:22:40,535
It's a sequential number.
290
00:22:40,607 --> 00:22:42,703
It's not a random set
of numbers, son.
291
00:22:42,779 --> 00:22:44,508
That number means something.
It's yo'number.
292
00:22:44,580 --> 00:22:47,780
It's yo' number now.
Know what that number represents?
293
00:22:47,851 --> 00:22:50,754
276,000. Now listen carefully to me,
294
00:22:50,823 --> 00:22:53,518
and you'll understand
what makes me so angry.
295
00:22:53,591 --> 00:22:57,892
We have less than 500,000 people
in the District of Columbia.
296
00:22:57,964 --> 00:22:59,898
Now only 70 percent
of them are black.
297
00:22:59,967 --> 00:23:02,059
Now what's 7O percent
of 500,000?
298
00:23:02,136 --> 00:23:06,200
Do the math. We got about
350,000 black people in DC.
299
00:23:06,276 --> 00:23:08,903
Of the 350,000,
half of them are female, aren't they?
300
00:23:09,345 --> 00:23:11,815
What's that?
Do the math, son, do the math.
301
00:23:11,884 --> 00:23:16,344
Less than 175,000 people
are males like yourself.
302
00:23:16,422 --> 00:23:20,621
Not all of 'em are over 21 years of age.
Half of 'em are kids.
303
00:23:20,693 --> 00:23:24,133
How the devil, if we got only
75 to 80 thousand adult males
304
00:23:24,199 --> 00:23:27,862
in the District of Columbia,
is this number 276,000 today?
305
00:23:27,970 --> 00:23:29,494
Figure it out for yourself.
306
00:23:29,571 --> 00:23:32,770
We've exhausted the 21-year-olds,
20-year-olds, 19-year-olds.
307
00:23:32,843 --> 00:23:34,777
We're working on 18.
308
00:23:34,844 --> 00:23:38,111
We're moving down the line.
By the time we cross 300,000,
309
00:23:38,183 --> 00:23:40,812
we'll be down to
16-and 17-year-olds.
310
00:23:40,887 --> 00:23:43,448
We're wiping out our race
in Washington, DC.
311
00:23:43,523 --> 00:23:46,014
And here you are in here
playing these silly ass games.
312
00:23:46,093 --> 00:23:49,324
Well, we got something for you.
Welcome to the DC jail.
313
00:23:50,165 --> 00:23:52,190
You might make it outta here,
you might not.
314
00:24:05,988 --> 00:24:07,957
Door three. One gate.
315
00:25:41,743 --> 00:25:44,306
Well bakey bakes,
niggas better fuckin' run,
316
00:25:44,381 --> 00:25:48,182
pack the guns leavin' niggas numb,
motherfuckin' run,
317
00:25:48,253 --> 00:25:51,920
lookin' at hoods lookin' like
thugs life at the stoplight,
318
00:25:51,994 --> 00:25:55,519
get up in their guts,
only little fuckin' put put,
319
00:25:55,595 --> 00:25:58,997
psychopath nut, bet they get
a bigger fuckin' case,
320
00:25:59,067 --> 00:26:02,128
cuz my love the nigga's
down for a double name case,
321
00:26:02,204 --> 00:26:05,334
what the fuck did they want,
it's a motherfuckin' gun,
322
00:26:05,408 --> 00:26:09,575
from the G's APC's where the
fucker's from, niggas better run,
323
00:26:09,681 --> 00:26:11,614
if they don't catch up
324
00:26:11,681 --> 00:26:14,951
they just get fucked
by my motherfuckin' focus.
325
00:26:15,023 --> 00:26:18,792
Knock you off your motherfuckin'ass,
not afraid to pass,
326
00:26:18,863 --> 00:26:21,955
get me all of that cash,
so I can quit my fuckin' gash.
327
00:26:22,031 --> 00:26:25,229
Die, foci,
then the motherfuckin' gangs
328
00:26:25,302 --> 00:26:28,273
selling cocaine roll my fuckin'
brain like Jesse James...
329
00:26:28,341 --> 00:26:32,540
Yo sun, as in solar, simply,
because we are, we be,
330
00:26:32,613 --> 00:26:34,945
the rising stars and the sun
that never set.
331
00:26:35,014 --> 00:26:37,984
Word up, Jack.
Wanna make a bet, black?
332
00:26:38,085 --> 00:26:39,347
I got the formula.
333
00:26:39,419 --> 00:26:41,513
Throw me in the sky,
and I'll warm ya.
334
00:26:41,589 --> 00:26:44,788
Get your sun block.
Throw me in the cell block.
335
00:26:44,895 --> 00:26:46,864
Indeed, I got the science you need.
336
00:26:46,965 --> 00:26:50,595
Lessons more ancient than Greece.
Apollo never my creed, my creed.
337
00:26:50,668 --> 00:26:53,761
Obatala will battle you,
so bring your troops if you wanna.
338
00:26:53,838 --> 00:26:56,866
Satellites in the sky,
some selling clouds on the corner.
339
00:26:56,942 --> 00:26:59,914
But, we livin' for the land,
from the soil to the sand.
340
00:26:59,982 --> 00:27:02,883
And the water in the sea
be the essence of me.
341
00:27:02,952 --> 00:27:05,820
If you ain't ready for this fruit,
than put it back on the tree.
342
00:27:05,890 --> 00:27:09,017
Uh. Give me the strength
to bend back these bars.
343
00:27:09,093 --> 00:27:12,288
Got the locks of Samson.
I'm Sam's son. He's my father.
344
00:27:12,362 --> 00:27:14,357
Tried praying to the Father,
Son, but Holy Ghost.
345
00:27:14,467 --> 00:27:16,402
I miss my motherfucking sanity.
346
00:27:16,469 --> 00:27:18,494
Never been here
and never planned to be.
347
00:27:18,605 --> 00:27:21,130
But my own plans had plans for me.
348
00:27:21,207 --> 00:27:24,233
And now that man's
hands got plans for me.
349
00:27:24,311 --> 00:27:27,440
And now that man's
hands got plans for me.
350
00:27:27,516 --> 00:27:30,247
And now that man had plans,
so I jetted and ran.
351
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,519
The mike cord pulled me back.
I should have dropped it
from my hand
352
00:27:33,591 --> 00:27:36,651
and left it at the scene of the rhyme.
353
00:27:37,561 --> 00:27:41,056
Now we all serving time.
Even my prose is on probation.
354
00:27:41,168 --> 00:27:44,731
Refugees they ain't just Haitian.
Come on. Fucking shit. Come on.
355
00:27:44,806 --> 00:27:48,207
Keep it going now.
Ba bam, ba bam bam...
356
00:27:49,245 --> 00:27:52,043
And what the fuck.
You're fuckin' with a psychopath nut.
357
00:27:52,447 --> 00:27:56,579
Put on my fucking glasses and 'bout
to bust a nut in your ass motherfucker,
358
00:27:56,888 --> 00:27:59,153
as I blast
in your motherfucking gut...
359
00:27:59,525 --> 00:28:01,356
Put a motherfuckin'
mask on your face.
360
00:28:01,528 --> 00:28:04,361
You should of never fucked
with a nigga from the base.
361
00:28:04,465 --> 00:28:07,629
So now I'm packing steel,
keeping the shit really real,
362
00:28:07,703 --> 00:28:10,637
motherfucka you ducked trying
to hop up in the truck.
363
00:28:10,772 --> 00:28:12,138
Got blocked down.
364
00:28:12,343 --> 00:28:16,938
So motherfuckas really want the judge
to understand my motherfucking deal.
365
00:28:17,047 --> 00:28:20,313
I'm packin' steel.
Slam dunkin' like Shaquille O'Neal.
366
00:28:20,385 --> 00:28:23,480
...bam, ba bam, ba bam bam.
367
00:28:23,588 --> 00:28:26,421
I had to be strong...
That shit is dope, yo.
368
00:28:26,492 --> 00:28:28,894
Damn, man. You got some
talent with you man.
369
00:28:28,964 --> 00:28:30,865
- Oh, definitely.
- That shit was tight, yo.
370
00:28:31,033 --> 00:28:32,966
We are lookin' out, son.
371
00:29:04,976 --> 00:29:07,138
What's up, partner?
Thanks for the tray, slim.
372
00:29:07,212 --> 00:29:08,007
I know you ain't want'n that shit.
373
00:29:08,180 --> 00:29:10,149
Come on, nigga.
I ain't trying to play this shit.
374
00:29:10,250 --> 00:29:11,479
What's up, partner?
375
00:29:11,551 --> 00:29:13,988
I ain't eaten all day.
I ain't trying to play.
376
00:29:14,057 --> 00:29:17,892
I ain't trying to play this shit.
Get the fuck off me, nigga.
377
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,590
It's my motherfucking tray.
It's my tray.
378
00:29:20,665 --> 00:29:23,258
I'm eating this tray.
379
00:29:23,367 --> 00:29:24,130
Nigga, you don't know me.
380
00:29:24,202 --> 00:29:25,726
I ain't about to sit here
and let you eat my shit.
381
00:29:25,904 --> 00:29:27,302
I ain't got to know you.
382
00:29:27,375 --> 00:29:29,139
You ain't gonna eat
unless I say you eat.
383
00:29:29,210 --> 00:29:32,008
This is my motherfucking tray.
384
00:29:32,580 --> 00:29:35,851
Any problems?
385
00:29:35,851 --> 00:29:39,547
Nah. If I don't eat,
don't nobody fucking eat.
386
00:29:42,426 --> 00:29:44,416
Oh shit. Here we go.
387
00:29:54,006 --> 00:29:55,975
Break it the fuck up.
388
00:30:17,804 --> 00:30:20,171
Get the fuck back to your cells.
389
00:30:20,274 --> 00:30:22,369
Shit. Lock it down.
390
00:30:40,465 --> 00:30:42,234
Hey...
391
00:30:42,340 --> 00:30:44,273
Wakey, wakey.
Hands off snakey.
392
00:30:46,144 --> 00:30:48,077
Open 20.
393
00:30:52,486 --> 00:30:54,418
Grab your shit.
We're leaving.
394
00:30:56,889 --> 00:30:59,087
Take care of yourself,
all right?
395
00:30:59,161 --> 00:31:00,956
Peace, black.
396
00:31:01,162 --> 00:31:03,461
- Keep it real, man.
- Mm-hm.
397
00:31:10,173 --> 00:31:13,008
Some get by,
but they never get away.
398
00:31:25,893 --> 00:31:27,795
First cell to your left.
399
00:31:29,099 --> 00:31:31,228
- Stand right here.
- Yo.
400
00:31:31,302 --> 00:31:32,359
How ya' doin' G?
401
00:31:32,469 --> 00:31:34,437
- Where the fuck's my paper at?
- Your man's here to see you.
402
00:31:34,506 --> 00:31:36,942
- Who's that?
- I got a 32 ready for him.
403
00:31:43,152 --> 00:31:44,982
What's happening?
404
00:31:47,023 --> 00:31:49,286
Come on in, man.
405
00:31:52,461 --> 00:31:54,090
Take a seat.
406
00:31:54,164 --> 00:31:56,760
I'm Hopha, man.
407
00:31:56,868 --> 00:31:59,497
- What's going down?
- Mike told me a lot about you.
408
00:31:59,572 --> 00:32:01,402
He told me a lot
about you too, man.
409
00:32:01,473 --> 00:32:02,942
You know what I'm saying?
410
00:32:03,311 --> 00:32:05,368
So what the cops is
telling you, man?
411
00:32:07,915 --> 00:32:11,148
I know they been trying to
ask you questions about Mike.
412
00:32:11,589 --> 00:32:14,423
They asked me a few questions,
but I don't know shit, y'know.
413
00:32:14,492 --> 00:32:17,461
So I just told 'em
I don't know shit.
414
00:32:17,562 --> 00:32:20,029
You sure
you ain't telling 'em nothing?
415
00:32:20,196 --> 00:32:22,793
I didn't tell them shit, yo.
416
00:32:23,235 --> 00:32:27,833
See, this is the problem, man.
People think you did.
417
00:32:27,941 --> 00:32:31,277
- What?
- Tell them something.
418
00:32:31,380 --> 00:32:34,872
That shit that happened, you probably
didn't know nothing about this,
419
00:32:35,419 --> 00:32:36,944
but you're the
center of attention now.
420
00:32:37,087 --> 00:32:40,455
- What do you mean?
- Everybody wants a piece of you, man.
421
00:32:40,525 --> 00:32:43,961
- How's that?
- Because they think you
set Mike up.
422
00:32:44,029 --> 00:32:45,892
I didn't do that shit, yo.
I didn't do that.
423
00:32:45,964 --> 00:32:47,899
I know you didn't fucking do it.
424
00:32:47,967 --> 00:32:51,234
They don't know that shit.
They coming for you, man.
425
00:32:51,305 --> 00:32:55,504
You got every motherfucker in here
ready to take a piece of your ass.
426
00:32:55,577 --> 00:32:59,243
And if I take the fucking veil down,
it's gonna fucking happen.
427
00:33:01,852 --> 00:33:04,824
You stepped right
into the frying pan now.
428
00:33:06,728 --> 00:33:10,096
So be ready to get down.
You want some treats?
429
00:33:10,164 --> 00:33:11,927
I got some sweets.
430
00:33:12,066 --> 00:33:15,968
Some cookies or something?
Here, let me hook you up.
431
00:33:16,237 --> 00:33:18,002
Take some of this.
432
00:33:18,108 --> 00:33:20,509
Where's the guard at?
Where's my fucking newspaper at?
433
00:33:22,012 --> 00:33:23,950
That son of a bitch.
434
00:33:25,119 --> 00:33:27,984
That nigga brings me some shit, too.
I ain't saying you're sweet,
435
00:33:28,054 --> 00:33:31,218
want some baby powder?
436
00:33:31,660 --> 00:33:33,957
Here, get yourself some Kool-Aid,
or something, man.
437
00:33:34,029 --> 00:33:36,827
Take what you want, man.
Take what you fucking want.
438
00:33:36,898 --> 00:33:40,561
You home, man. You home, baby.
You know what I'm saying?
439
00:33:41,937 --> 00:33:44,409
You home here now.
440
00:33:44,476 --> 00:33:46,605
You with us.
441
00:33:48,113 --> 00:33:53,109
Word. Let the boys know that we
got a new member now.
442
00:33:53,218 --> 00:33:55,688
Everything's gonna be
all right now.
443
00:33:58,796 --> 00:34:00,490
You like that book?
444
00:34:00,563 --> 00:34:02,465
Most of all, I must see to it
445
00:34:02,534 --> 00:34:06,559
that I do not lend myself
to the evils which I condemn.
446
00:34:11,512 --> 00:34:14,537
Yeah, well, you know what
I say about that?
447
00:34:14,715 --> 00:34:17,549
Stay the fuck out our way.
448
00:34:17,751 --> 00:34:20,550
That's all I got to say
about that shit.
449
00:34:20,621 --> 00:34:22,681
You know what I mean?
450
00:34:22,824 --> 00:34:25,227
Hey, I love people,
but I don't tell them that shit.
451
00:34:25,529 --> 00:34:27,225
You know what I mean?
452
00:34:27,533 --> 00:34:29,228
And when it comes to me and mine,
453
00:34:29,334 --> 00:34:32,702
I defend mine very well.
Fuck that.
454
00:34:32,771 --> 00:34:35,706
I want to get out of the game, yo.
For real. That's all I want.
455
00:34:35,806 --> 00:34:39,440
Ain't no way out of this, man.
Ain't no way out of this, man.
456
00:34:39,515 --> 00:34:41,813
If you move into records,
if you move into shit, with us, man,
457
00:34:41,884 --> 00:34:45,480
you are taking the game with you.
It's all in sync, man.
458
00:34:45,555 --> 00:34:49,456
I ain't trying to be a part of
the whole game, gang bullshit...
459
00:34:49,526 --> 00:34:51,893
- Listen, listen. Fuck that.
- I'm trying to write.
460
00:34:51,964 --> 00:34:53,592
- I need a pen and some paper.
- I don't wanna hear that shit.
461
00:34:53,665 --> 00:34:57,830
Nigga, you are in jail, man.
Bottom line.
462
00:34:58,004 --> 00:35:00,030
You down with us.
463
00:35:00,174 --> 00:35:02,334
Ain't no coming out of this shit.
464
00:35:02,442 --> 00:35:05,971
This shit's the same shit
on the fucking street.
465
00:35:06,081 --> 00:35:08,744
The beef ain't gonna stop for you.
466
00:35:08,819 --> 00:35:11,081
Who the fuck is you?
You gonna stop this beef?
467
00:35:11,791 --> 00:35:14,192
You can't stop it.
468
00:35:14,594 --> 00:35:16,459
You help us stop it.
469
00:35:18,333 --> 00:35:20,926
I'm trying to think straight, man.
I need a pen and a pad.
470
00:35:21,001 --> 00:35:23,995
I hear you, man. I hear you, man.
It's gonna be all right.
471
00:35:24,073 --> 00:35:26,871
You know what I mean?
It's gonna be all right.
472
00:35:26,942 --> 00:35:29,207
Don't worry about it.
473
00:35:29,279 --> 00:35:31,212
Just wait until you get here.
474
00:35:31,281 --> 00:35:34,081
Guess y'all gonna have to
make me secretary of state.
475
00:35:35,655 --> 00:35:38,421
Or secretary of defense.
476
00:35:38,492 --> 00:35:40,790
How's that?
477
00:35:40,862 --> 00:35:43,954
What, you don't like that?
Minister of defense, then.
478
00:35:44,030 --> 00:35:47,365
Minister of information,
but can fight. How's that?
479
00:35:47,437 --> 00:35:51,134
You know what I mean?
'Cause you gonna have to fight, cuz.
480
00:35:51,208 --> 00:35:54,406
Make no mistake about it.
This is jail.
481
00:35:57,216 --> 00:35:59,242
Yeah, we got to handle that.
482
00:35:59,319 --> 00:36:02,117
When he come out,
we got to take care of that.
483
00:36:02,188 --> 00:36:06,421
It's motherfucking personal.
It's personal.
484
00:36:06,493 --> 00:36:07,621
'Cause you know
that nigga we beat down?
485
00:36:08,731 --> 00:36:10,757
Yeah, you know
he down with Hopha, right?
486
00:36:10,867 --> 00:36:12,803
- What?
- Yeah, and they going against us.
487
00:36:12,871 --> 00:36:15,203
'Cause ain't nothing gonna stop
this motherfucking drug game.
488
00:36:15,272 --> 00:36:17,333
You know? Stop none
of my motherfucking business.
489
00:36:17,442 --> 00:36:20,844
'Cause we ain't having that shit.
It's Thug Life for life.
490
00:36:20,913 --> 00:36:23,210
I got the word he's
down with Union Crew.
491
00:36:23,282 --> 00:36:25,878
We gonna get him.
He's down with Union Crew.
492
00:36:25,953 --> 00:36:29,651
And I don't like no bitch-ass nigga
cutting into my motherfucking business.
493
00:36:29,725 --> 00:36:32,192
- You get what I'm saying?
- We get you. We down with you.
494
00:36:32,262 --> 00:36:33,320
Fuck that.
495
00:36:33,395 --> 00:36:36,058
If I got to push the steel
in the motherfucking nigga.
496
00:36:36,132 --> 00:36:37,759
We gonna do that.
497
00:37:00,163 --> 00:37:01,961
We got some problems.
498
00:37:02,032 --> 00:37:04,194
- See them niggas over there?
- Check 'em out.
499
00:37:04,269 --> 00:37:06,205
You know what I'm saying?
500
00:37:06,272 --> 00:37:07,205
Yeah, I see them, niggas.
501
00:37:07,275 --> 00:37:09,503
Man, there's a difference
with us and them, man.
502
00:37:09,576 --> 00:37:11,545
You know what I'm saying?
503
00:37:11,812 --> 00:37:14,406
We organized.
504
00:37:14,849 --> 00:37:17,078
That bunch of
stupid motherfuckers, man.
505
00:37:17,184 --> 00:37:19,117
They can't handle no business.
506
00:37:19,186 --> 00:37:21,124
We already did that drug shit
507
00:37:21,192 --> 00:37:23,991
and that fucking
hand-to-hand bullshit, man.
508
00:37:24,062 --> 00:37:27,262
I want cake, B.
Don't you want cake?
509
00:37:27,335 --> 00:37:29,269
We want fucking cake, man.
510
00:37:31,238 --> 00:37:34,368
If y'all want some cake, man.
511
00:37:34,444 --> 00:37:37,812
We do this shit, make this move
on these motherfuckers, man.
512
00:37:40,018 --> 00:37:41,782
I don't give a fuck what happens.
513
00:38:02,546 --> 00:38:05,640
Even your man don't
fucking like you, faggot.
514
00:38:05,717 --> 00:38:06,741
Fuck you.
515
00:38:06,818 --> 00:38:09,185
Yeah, fuck y'all.
516
00:38:09,255 --> 00:38:11,222
If you was fucking smart,
you'd be over here, too.
517
00:38:11,289 --> 00:38:13,190
We wouldn't have to be doing this.
518
00:38:13,259 --> 00:38:15,592
- Y'all trying to rap?
- We wouldn't have to
be doing this.
519
00:38:15,663 --> 00:38:19,828
Fuck these niggas, man.
Fuck them niggas, man.
520
00:38:19,901 --> 00:38:22,930
Nah, nah, nah, nah.
You stay back. Lay back. Lay back.
521
00:38:23,041 --> 00:38:24,905
You make the choice who
the fuck you gone to be with.
522
00:38:24,976 --> 00:38:26,945
You get your ass
over there with Union Crew.
523
00:38:27,046 --> 00:38:27,979
- Fuck Thug Life.
- Fuck you.
524
00:38:28,048 --> 00:38:30,071
- Fuck Thug Life.
- Fuck you, nigga.
525
00:39:21,750 --> 00:39:23,685
Hey, how you doing?
526
00:39:31,327 --> 00:39:33,295
Is it hot enough for you out there?
527
00:39:41,175 --> 00:39:43,110
Just my keys in my front pocket.
528
00:40:31,641 --> 00:40:33,334
What's up, yo?
529
00:40:33,442 --> 00:40:34,537
What's up?
530
00:40:34,945 --> 00:40:36,914
You see him there?
531
00:40:37,015 --> 00:40:39,107
Man, I want you to do
the right thing, man.
532
00:40:39,218 --> 00:40:41,185
What the fuck is the right thing?
533
00:40:41,285 --> 00:40:43,450
The right thing is for me
to just be my fucking self.
534
00:40:43,525 --> 00:40:45,458
You know what I'm saying?
Do you know what I'm saying?
535
00:40:45,526 --> 00:40:47,015
I mean, it's not about...
536
00:40:47,094 --> 00:40:49,791
It's hard to be yourself here, man.
537
00:40:49,898 --> 00:40:51,958
Look around, man.
538
00:40:52,033 --> 00:40:54,262
It's hard to be yourself in here, man.
539
00:40:58,274 --> 00:41:00,742
My crew gotta know where you stand.
I know where they standing at.
540
00:41:00,811 --> 00:41:01,937
What the fuck?
541
00:41:02,014 --> 00:41:04,346
This ain't no rites
of passage or some shit.
542
00:41:05,585 --> 00:41:08,109
You see them lined up?
543
00:41:08,186 --> 00:41:10,658
We got our shit locked over here.
544
00:41:10,758 --> 00:41:12,818
Ain't nobody coming over here,
fucking with this shit.
545
00:41:12,929 --> 00:41:14,556
There's a place for you over here.
546
00:41:14,630 --> 00:41:16,656
If not, go the fuck over
there with your friend, then.
547
00:41:24,543 --> 00:41:26,033
All right, look,
548
00:41:26,112 --> 00:41:27,578
let's not get too close,
you know what I mean?
549
00:41:37,694 --> 00:41:39,525
- It's going down today.
- It's going down today.
550
00:41:39,629 --> 00:41:40,596
It's going down today.
551
00:41:40,697 --> 00:41:43,063
He gots to go.
552
00:41:43,133 --> 00:41:46,033
He gots to go.
He gots to go.
553
00:41:46,101 --> 00:41:48,070
Pass that joint.
554
00:41:48,172 --> 00:41:50,404
I want everybody high.
Everybody high.
555
00:41:50,476 --> 00:41:52,273
I want everybody high.
556
00:41:52,345 --> 00:41:53,710
It's the thug in us.
557
00:42:41,342 --> 00:42:42,741
Fuck you.
558
00:42:43,947 --> 00:42:47,941
I stand on the corner of
the block slinging amethyst rocks,
559
00:42:48,018 --> 00:42:51,854
drinking 40's of Mother Earth's
private nectar stock, dodging cops.
560
00:42:51,924 --> 00:42:53,551
'Cause five-oh be the 666.
561
00:42:53,625 --> 00:42:55,788
And I need a fix of that purple rain,
562
00:42:55,863 --> 00:42:57,888
the type of shit that
drives membranes insane.
563
00:42:57,999 --> 00:43:01,457
Oh, yeah, I'm in the fast lane,
snorting candy yams
564
00:43:01,537 --> 00:43:04,472
that free my body and soul
and send me like Shazam.
565
00:43:04,540 --> 00:43:07,532
Never question who I am.
God knows.
566
00:43:07,611 --> 00:43:11,606
And I know God personally.
In fact, he let's me call him me.
567
00:43:11,682 --> 00:43:16,278
Yeah, I'm serious B.
Doggonned niggas plottin' shit, lovely,
568
00:43:16,353 --> 00:43:19,324
but the Feds is also plottin' me.
569
00:43:19,392 --> 00:43:21,691
They're tryin'
to imprison my astrology.
570
00:43:21,796 --> 00:43:24,891
Put our stars behind bars,
our stars in stripes,
571
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,733
using blood-splattered
banners as nationalist kites.
572
00:43:27,806 --> 00:43:31,172
But I control the wind.
That's why they call it the hawk.
573
00:43:31,242 --> 00:43:34,507
I am Horus, son of Isis,
son of Osiris,
574
00:43:34,579 --> 00:43:36,979
worshipped as Jesus,
resurrected like Lazarus,
575
00:43:37,048 --> 00:43:39,416
but you can call me Lazzie, lazy,
576
00:43:39,519 --> 00:43:42,976
yeah, I'm lazy, cause I'd rather sit
and build than work and plow a field.
577
00:43:43,056 --> 00:43:45,457
Worshipping a daily
yield of cash green crops.
578
00:43:45,527 --> 00:43:48,985
Stealing us was the smartest thing
they ever did.
579
00:43:49,365 --> 00:43:52,028
Too bad they don't teach
the truth to their kids.
580
00:43:52,136 --> 00:43:54,866
Our influence on them
is the reflection they see
581
00:43:54,939 --> 00:43:58,341
when they look into their minstrel
mirror and talk about their culture.
582
00:43:58,409 --> 00:44:01,071
Their existence is that
of a schizophrenic vulture.
583
00:44:01,243 --> 00:44:03,078
Yeah. There's no repentance.
584
00:44:03,183 --> 00:44:07,281
They are bound to live an infinite
consecutive executive life sentence.
585
00:44:07,355 --> 00:44:09,153
So what are you bound to live, nigga?
586
00:44:09,257 --> 00:44:11,195
So while you're
out there serving the time,
587
00:44:11,195 --> 00:44:14,130
I'll be in sync with the sun
while you run from the moon.
588
00:44:14,197 --> 00:44:16,962
Life of the womb reflected by guns.
589
00:44:17,035 --> 00:44:19,902
Worshiper of moons.
I am the sun.
590
00:44:20,141 --> 00:44:22,609
And we are
public enemies number one.
591
00:44:23,012 --> 00:44:28,710
One, one, one.
One, one, one.
592
00:44:39,132 --> 00:44:40,758
I forgot what
the fuck I was thinking.
593
00:44:52,614 --> 00:44:54,514
Are you all right?
594
00:44:55,483 --> 00:44:57,954
- Are you okay?
- Um, yes.
595
00:44:58,058 --> 00:45:00,251
I just saw what you
did out there.
596
00:45:01,895 --> 00:45:03,725
Do you need any help?
597
00:45:04,064 --> 00:45:06,931
- No.
- Cool.
598
00:45:08,267 --> 00:45:10,635
Um, hi.
My name is Lauren.
599
00:45:10,704 --> 00:45:13,937
Lauren Bell.
I teach writing here.
600
00:45:17,148 --> 00:45:19,083
Where did you get that from?
601
00:45:19,215 --> 00:45:21,013
I'm sorry, um...
602
00:45:21,152 --> 00:45:24,747
The poem that you did out there.
Did you, did you write that?
603
00:45:24,854 --> 00:45:25,824
Yeah.
604
00:45:25,924 --> 00:45:27,482
- Excuse me.
- Um...
605
00:45:27,592 --> 00:45:29,824
- Are you okay?
- Yes, I'm fine.
606
00:45:29,896 --> 00:45:31,831
What are you doing
out here in the hall?
607
00:45:31,898 --> 00:45:33,664
He's just talking to me.
He's on his way to...
608
00:45:33,736 --> 00:45:35,669
Okay. But he's not supposed
to be out here.
609
00:45:35,737 --> 00:45:39,175
North three, let's go.
Right now. Right now.
610
00:45:39,276 --> 00:45:41,074
You have no right to be out here.
Let's go.
611
00:45:41,178 --> 00:45:43,476
All right you're in north three.
I'll put in a request for you.
612
00:45:43,547 --> 00:45:45,709
I'll put in a request for you.
613
00:45:45,782 --> 00:45:48,048
You have to tell the CO
that you want to come to class,
614
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:49,747
and he'll let you come down.
615
00:45:50,756 --> 00:45:52,283
You are out of place.
Let's go.
616
00:46:01,939 --> 00:46:04,066
I've been searching myself, man.
617
00:46:05,578 --> 00:46:08,410
I know you all have too.
618
00:46:08,513 --> 00:46:10,709
The world is fucking
leaving us behind, man.
619
00:46:10,783 --> 00:46:12,751
What Ray said was right.
620
00:46:12,818 --> 00:46:14,615
I didn't agree with his methods,
you know what I'm saying?
621
00:46:14,687 --> 00:46:17,623
- You know...
- What the hell was that?
622
00:46:17,725 --> 00:46:19,921
I still don't fuckin'
know entirely, man.
623
00:46:19,995 --> 00:46:24,762
But what that nigga did out there
was just fucking fascinating.
624
00:46:43,758 --> 00:46:46,629
I ain't fucking coming back here, man.
625
00:46:46,700 --> 00:46:48,963
Fuck that shit.
I love y'all and all that shit.
626
00:46:49,067 --> 00:46:51,569
I ain't coming the fuck back here.
627
00:46:51,569 --> 00:46:54,266
You know what I mean?
I ain't turning on y'all.
628
00:46:54,340 --> 00:46:56,001
Like I said, I love y'all,
629
00:46:56,076 --> 00:46:58,270
but I'm telling it
the way it fucking is, man.
630
00:46:59,749 --> 00:47:04,049
Them motherfuckers outside
this place don't give a fuck about us.
631
00:47:04,121 --> 00:47:06,953
We started off fighting,
we gonna end off fighting.
632
00:47:07,022 --> 00:47:10,152
But how we fight is the fight.
633
00:47:10,226 --> 00:47:12,753
That's the way it goes.
634
00:47:12,832 --> 00:47:14,561
If I'm gonna die for something,
635
00:47:14,633 --> 00:47:16,694
I'm gonna die for something
that's worth it, dig?
636
00:47:36,228 --> 00:47:38,957
We've been discussing the
chapters as we've been going along,
637
00:47:40,902 --> 00:47:43,666
but now we've finished
the whole book.
638
00:47:43,805 --> 00:47:49,745
And what I want to know is...
639
00:47:49,745 --> 00:47:54,685
what came to your mind last night
640
00:47:54,786 --> 00:47:57,153
when you were lying in your cell
641
00:47:57,223 --> 00:47:59,954
and you were
reading the assignment?
642
00:48:00,027 --> 00:48:02,552
What was the first thing
that came to your mind?
643
00:48:02,630 --> 00:48:05,462
I mean, sure,
I know I want to stay off the street.
644
00:48:05,533 --> 00:48:10,028
I know I want to be a positive
person to my family, right.
645
00:48:10,106 --> 00:48:13,735
But I know that, me personally,
if the situation arose
646
00:48:13,810 --> 00:48:18,112
where it was either starve
or my children starving,
647
00:48:18,182 --> 00:48:22,554
or doing the right thing,
then, you know, it's trey ball.
648
00:48:22,623 --> 00:48:24,991
Or Monster Cody got to
do what he got to do.
649
00:48:24,991 --> 00:48:27,959
I do not agree with Joseph.
650
00:48:28,328 --> 00:48:32,834
Sadly, too many of our brothers
got the mentality of Joe,
651
00:48:32,834 --> 00:48:34,998
and come here and say,
because of this and that,
652
00:48:35,072 --> 00:48:37,767
I'm gonna put this in my hand
using my family for an excuse.
653
00:48:37,842 --> 00:48:41,211
When all the time, like you said,
you got to be responsible for you.
654
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:44,649
So you gonna use,
"My family was hungry so I went out
and shot a motherfucker for money."
655
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:45,946
Fuck no.
You still coming to jail.
656
00:48:46,086 --> 00:48:49,182
I don't know whether
you know it or not, brother,
but we are capitalists.
657
00:48:49,259 --> 00:48:52,126
Whether we're capitalists
on a small scale,
658
00:48:52,194 --> 00:48:54,221
we live in a capitalist country.
659
00:48:54,331 --> 00:48:55,729
And that is what we are.
660
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:59,258
We are born to learn how
to capitalize on whatever it is.
661
00:48:59,370 --> 00:49:00,496
It's about money.
662
00:49:00,605 --> 00:49:04,337
So Joe and John are saying that there
are not enough resources out there
663
00:49:04,410 --> 00:49:07,973
to help you change your life.
Is that true?
664
00:49:08,048 --> 00:49:10,415
We just happened
to be born our color,
665
00:49:10,484 --> 00:49:13,181
and we at the bottom of the ladder.
You understand?
666
00:49:13,254 --> 00:49:16,818
Now, if I could make it out,
and have me some real dough,
667
00:49:16,894 --> 00:49:18,760
yeah, then it wouldn't be like this.
668
00:49:18,831 --> 00:49:21,025
All right.
Y'all ready for the poetry reading?
669
00:49:21,099 --> 00:49:22,564
Yes.
670
00:49:22,634 --> 00:49:24,296
I didn't hear everybody.
671
00:49:24,402 --> 00:49:25,699
I said are y'all ready
for the poetry reading?
672
00:49:25,836 --> 00:49:27,362
Yes.
673
00:49:28,441 --> 00:49:30,468
- Ron, you ready?
- Yeah.
674
00:49:30,580 --> 00:49:32,775
Let's go.
675
00:49:36,051 --> 00:49:39,953
The name of
my little piece is, uh, "Why."
676
00:49:40,024 --> 00:49:46,192
I shot three motherfuckers,
but I didn't know why.
677
00:49:46,264 --> 00:49:49,632
I guess I just wanted
to see something die.
678
00:49:49,702 --> 00:49:54,072
You see,
I bought this gun for a few rocks
679
00:49:54,139 --> 00:49:58,944
just to get even, so I thought,
with those shit-eating cops.
680
00:49:59,048 --> 00:50:02,177
Holding the cold, blue steel
in the palm of my hand,
681
00:50:03,453 --> 00:50:07,446
not quite sixteen, yet totally a man.
682
00:50:07,557 --> 00:50:10,085
My only plan was money in my hand.
683
00:50:10,163 --> 00:50:13,862
I wore Falacci, Gucci,
Nikes, and Eddie B.
684
00:50:13,935 --> 00:50:17,301
I was the coolest
motherfucker in Southeast DC.
685
00:50:19,207 --> 00:50:22,178
School? What the fuck.
686
00:50:22,246 --> 00:50:24,441
That was a thing
of the past.
687
00:50:24,514 --> 00:50:29,284
Getting paid, school and all that
other square shit could kiss my ass.
688
00:50:30,356 --> 00:50:32,587
Mad at my bun,
toying with my gun,
689
00:50:32,659 --> 00:50:36,687
tipped on over to my favorite
poolroom just to have some fun.
690
00:50:36,764 --> 00:50:40,325
Rips was at full blast,
so I chalked up my cue,
691
00:50:40,434 --> 00:50:42,700
ready to kick some ass.
692
00:50:42,771 --> 00:50:46,071
I played a few hours,
beat all the old timers
693
00:50:46,141 --> 00:50:48,303
and was about to go.
694
00:50:48,378 --> 00:50:50,871
Until the three-
695
00:50:50,949 --> 00:50:54,249
one of the three bama
motherfuckers stepped on my toe.
696
00:50:55,556 --> 00:50:58,957
A split second later,
whip, bam, it was on.
697
00:50:59,028 --> 00:51:01,623
The ass kicking begun.
698
00:51:01,697 --> 00:51:05,191
I ducked a few pool balls
and eased out my gun.
699
00:51:06,537 --> 00:51:09,735
Ratta-tat-tat and that was that.
Three was whacked.
700
00:51:09,808 --> 00:51:11,467
Ten years later.
701
00:51:11,575 --> 00:51:14,375
As I sit here in my
jail cell about to cry,
702
00:51:14,446 --> 00:51:15,276
I'm thinking,
703
00:51:15,347 --> 00:51:18,045
I shot three motherfuckers
and I don't know why.
704
00:51:22,758 --> 00:51:24,725
Thank you, Ron.
705
00:51:24,926 --> 00:51:29,767
Oh, I, um, I don't know
if all of you guys know,
706
00:51:29,767 --> 00:51:33,704
but, um,
today's my last day here.
707
00:51:35,841 --> 00:51:38,571
Oh, God.
708
00:51:38,745 --> 00:51:41,578
I'm gonna miss you guys.
709
00:51:41,681 --> 00:51:45,120
- We gonna miss you too.
- Especially me.
710
00:51:45,188 --> 00:51:48,522
Um, they, um,
711
00:51:48,793 --> 00:51:51,316
it's so wild that we had this
conversation today, because,
712
00:51:51,428 --> 00:51:54,625
they have,
they cut this program.
713
00:51:56,302 --> 00:51:59,501
And it's just brought home
the fact that, you know,
714
00:51:59,573 --> 00:52:02,475
it really isn't about
rehabilitation anymore, you know?
715
00:52:02,544 --> 00:52:04,170
And you were right, Joe.
716
00:52:04,312 --> 00:52:05,509
Like I was trying to tell you earlier,
717
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:08,434
Yeah, it's gonna be hard
when you leave here.
718
00:52:08,503 --> 00:52:10,599
It's gonna be real hard.
719
00:52:10,674 --> 00:52:15,440
It's really fucked up that you were
born in Southeast, in the ghetto.
720
00:52:15,512 --> 00:52:18,275
It's really fucked up
that you were born black.
721
00:52:18,380 --> 00:52:21,144
It's really fucked up that you've
had a hard time in your life.
722
00:52:21,217 --> 00:52:23,150
Whatever your story is,
723
00:52:23,220 --> 00:52:25,154
whatever it is that brought
you here in your life,
724
00:52:25,223 --> 00:52:27,157
that shit is really fucked up.
725
00:52:27,224 --> 00:52:31,126
If you keep shoving the anger
and the pain and the frustration down,
726
00:52:31,194 --> 00:52:33,754
and you keep saying that's all right,
I'm gonna do what I gotta do
727
00:52:33,829 --> 00:52:37,197
and you don't let it come out,
that keeps pushing you down.
728
00:52:37,267 --> 00:52:38,530
That is your prison.
729
00:52:39,202 --> 00:52:42,399
You gotta let that shit out 'cause
once you let that frustration out,
730
00:52:42,471 --> 00:52:46,100
it doesn't hold you back anymore.
It doesn't lock you down.
731
00:52:46,209 --> 00:52:48,074
And then you can stand up
with some courage.
732
00:52:48,143 --> 00:52:50,136
You can say, okay,
yeah, it's fucked up,
733
00:52:50,248 --> 00:52:52,409
but I am not gonna live like this.
734
00:52:52,516 --> 00:52:55,608
I am going to take my destiny
into my own hands.
735
00:52:55,718 --> 00:52:58,016
That's the only way to go now.
736
00:52:58,088 --> 00:53:01,818
I grew up with guys just like y'all.
All of y'all.
737
00:53:01,890 --> 00:53:04,825
My brother was sitting in your seat.
738
00:53:04,895 --> 00:53:06,828
My brother's not here anymore.
739
00:53:08,630 --> 00:53:11,501
He grew up in your era,
Joe, in your era, Ronald,
740
00:53:11,570 --> 00:53:15,198
when everybody wanted to
be Superfly. Remember that?
741
00:53:15,273 --> 00:53:18,072
It was all about being Superfly
or the Mac, remember that?
742
00:53:18,142 --> 00:53:20,703
Now it's about being
a gangsta or OG.
743
00:53:23,415 --> 00:53:26,349
He had a good heart just like y'all.
I know y'all are good guys.
744
00:53:26,416 --> 00:53:28,543
The people out there,
they see your face in the paper,
745
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:31,847
they think y'all,
they think you're monsters.
746
00:53:31,956 --> 00:53:35,619
I know you're good guys inside.
My brother had a good heart.
747
00:53:39,263 --> 00:53:41,925
I know your dreams.
I've been there.
748
00:53:43,467 --> 00:53:49,098
But chasing them, thinking you
can achieve them by selling drugs...
749
00:53:49,173 --> 00:53:53,542
that's just a part of the trap, y'all.
That's just a part of the trap.
750
00:53:53,610 --> 00:53:57,639
And yeah, you're right, Ronald.
The cycle just keeps continuing.
751
00:53:57,716 --> 00:54:02,015
Who's gonna stop it?
Y'all got to stop it. Y'all been in.
752
00:54:02,086 --> 00:54:04,612
Y'all can go back out,
change your life
753
00:54:04,723 --> 00:54:08,749
and show the young brothers
that they don't have to
come back in here like this.
754
00:54:10,293 --> 00:54:13,629
Freedom isn't out here.
755
00:54:13,700 --> 00:54:16,495
It's in here.
756
00:54:16,834 --> 00:54:19,098
You can be free anytime you want.
757
00:54:20,537 --> 00:54:23,005
Anytime.
758
00:54:23,073 --> 00:54:30,479
Never give anyone the power
to take away your freedom.
759
00:54:30,580 --> 00:54:34,641
That's yours.
It don't belong to nobody but you.
760
00:54:36,187 --> 00:54:38,213
Remember that.
761
00:54:41,227 --> 00:54:43,786
I'm not going to go
on and on.
762
00:54:43,862 --> 00:54:46,955
Besides, my tissue's
falling apart.
763
00:54:47,031 --> 00:54:49,625
- We gonna miss you, all right?
- I'm gonna miss you too, Red.
764
00:54:49,700 --> 00:54:52,067
And I'm gonna miss you too.
And I'm gonna miss you too.
765
00:54:52,136 --> 00:54:55,402
- Give me a hug.
- All right. All right.
766
00:55:00,046 --> 00:55:02,477
Ritchy, give me a hug, baby.
767
00:55:02,547 --> 00:55:04,411
- Okay.
- You gonna be okay?
768
00:55:04,515 --> 00:55:08,043
I'm gonna be all right.
You gonna be okay?
769
00:55:08,153 --> 00:55:10,644
I'm gonna be fine after
that poem you wrote me.
770
00:55:10,755 --> 00:55:12,815
You gonna write me now, right?
771
00:55:12,890 --> 00:55:15,449
Okay. Good.
All right, now.
772
00:55:15,525 --> 00:55:17,550
Take care, baby. Bye-bye.
773
00:55:18,896 --> 00:55:21,525
Ray, you hangin'
back for a minute?
774
00:55:24,535 --> 00:55:26,471
So what did you think of the class?
775
00:55:27,939 --> 00:55:31,204
I think you're a wonderful teacher.
776
00:55:31,276 --> 00:55:36,807
- Ray, what are you doing in here?
- I sold weed.
777
00:55:36,916 --> 00:55:39,851
So you just
happened to be selling weed?
778
00:55:39,951 --> 00:55:41,886
I mean, I don't know.
I don't know.
779
00:55:41,953 --> 00:55:43,477
I got caught.
780
00:55:43,588 --> 00:55:46,922
Yeah, I know you got caught.
I know you got caught.
781
00:55:46,993 --> 00:55:49,291
I mean, it's not that simple.
It's not...
782
00:55:51,796 --> 00:55:53,892
- I mean...
- What, are you in school?
783
00:55:53,966 --> 00:55:55,694
No.
784
00:55:55,768 --> 00:55:59,001
So you sell weed for a living?
That's it?
785
00:55:59,072 --> 00:56:01,232
And you write poetry.
And you read books.
786
00:56:01,306 --> 00:56:03,241
I never really thought of
myself as writing poetry.
787
00:56:03,308 --> 00:56:06,745
You know, I write,
I'm here on,
788
00:56:06,845 --> 00:56:10,007
I'm really here on a
petty weed charge.
789
00:56:11,284 --> 00:56:16,051
Although, I've been told
that I have to cop a plea.
790
00:56:18,523 --> 00:56:21,049
And if I do,
791
00:56:21,127 --> 00:56:24,619
I may be looking at
like a couple of years,
792
00:56:24,696 --> 00:56:27,531
but... I don't know.
793
00:56:32,270 --> 00:56:35,899
- I don't know how to say...
- Just stay in touch.
794
00:56:35,975 --> 00:56:39,409
Just stay in touch.
795
00:56:39,780 --> 00:56:43,647
You never know.
You never know, you know?
796
00:56:48,187 --> 00:56:49,847
I gotta go.
797
00:57:08,041 --> 00:57:09,098
You got me thinking.
798
00:57:09,175 --> 00:57:11,166
You remember that book
that was in my cell?
799
00:57:11,244 --> 00:57:15,577
The Art of War?
Man named Sun Tzu?
800
00:57:15,681 --> 00:57:19,310
Some old guy.
Chinese guy a long time ago.
801
00:57:19,418 --> 00:57:22,217
The man said it's about
learning to lead people.
802
00:57:22,355 --> 00:57:27,314
It's about being able
to win wars without violence.
803
00:57:27,427 --> 00:57:29,257
You know what I mean?
804
00:57:29,328 --> 00:57:33,286
He wasn't no sucker, now,
he'd get ready to get down, you know?
805
00:57:33,365 --> 00:57:37,098
But he won wars from the beginning
806
00:57:37,169 --> 00:57:39,295
without ever having to use violence.
807
00:57:39,371 --> 00:57:41,535
He said that's where
the real power is.
808
00:57:42,076 --> 00:57:43,565
Shit bugged me the fuck out.
809
00:57:43,678 --> 00:57:45,474
I thought what the fuck's
this nigga talkin' about?
810
00:57:45,546 --> 00:57:47,675
I mean, I thought about it.
811
00:57:47,783 --> 00:57:49,842
But how many people
really do that, you know?
812
00:57:49,952 --> 00:57:54,386
How many people really do that?
You did that.
813
00:57:55,122 --> 00:57:56,453
I'm telling you, man,
814
00:57:56,557 --> 00:57:58,989
you got more talent
than maybe even you know.
815
00:57:59,092 --> 00:58:01,027
You got a hell of a lot of decisions.
816
00:58:01,095 --> 00:58:03,620
I can't help you
with the decisions, man.
817
00:58:03,699 --> 00:58:05,790
You know,
but I'm always there for you.
818
00:58:05,866 --> 00:58:09,324
I've made my decisions, yo.
You can see.
819
00:58:09,404 --> 00:58:12,132
There's no fear in my heart no more.
There's no fear.
820
00:58:12,204 --> 00:58:13,901
I don't give a fuck.
821
00:58:13,975 --> 00:58:16,238
I'm scared every day,
but I'm not afraid.
822
00:58:16,311 --> 00:58:19,904
You dig?
To me there's a difference.
823
00:58:19,979 --> 00:58:25,007
To you there's a difference.
You showed that.
824
00:58:25,117 --> 00:58:28,214
You gonna be a great man.
You got great things to fucking do.
825
00:58:28,823 --> 00:58:34,693
And one of them is to pass
this to an old friend of mine.
826
00:58:34,762 --> 00:58:38,161
This is something a friend of
mine gave me a long time ago.
827
00:58:38,232 --> 00:58:40,791
I'm gonna get you out of here.
All right?
828
00:58:40,869 --> 00:58:45,770
- How you gonna get me outta here?
- You're not listening to me, man.
829
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:47,773
You're not listening to me, man.
830
00:58:47,841 --> 00:58:50,173
I'm gonna put up
the bail for you. All right?
831
00:58:50,243 --> 00:58:53,508
If you do this piece
of work for me, I'm here.
832
00:58:57,051 --> 00:58:58,984
- What's your name?
- Raymond Joshua.
833
00:58:59,085 --> 00:59:01,054
Okay. You're being released
on cash collateral.
834
00:59:04,591 --> 00:59:06,524
Take your suit off
and put it in the basket.
835
00:59:25,046 --> 00:59:27,741
- Yo, where's my shirt?
- It got lost. Shit happens.
836
00:59:30,784 --> 00:59:32,810
Take that.
You going home in these.
837
00:59:45,165 --> 00:59:47,189
Let's see your arm band.
838
00:59:47,266 --> 00:59:50,260
Hold it right there
so I can see it. Okay.
839
00:59:50,337 --> 00:59:55,333
Hey, Ray, this is your
last time in here, right?
840
00:59:55,412 --> 00:59:57,402
I want you to take something out
the door with you when you leave.
841
00:59:57,479 --> 00:59:59,878
Those six digits
on that band I told you about,
842
00:59:59,947 --> 01:00:02,009
they'll be there waiting
for you if you ever come back.
843
01:00:02,118 --> 01:00:04,951
Now get your ass out of my jail.
844
01:00:05,054 --> 01:00:07,387
Door.
845
01:00:27,908 --> 01:00:29,970
All right,
going out with one.
846
01:00:30,046 --> 01:00:32,879
- What's your name?
- Raymond Joshua.
847
01:00:32,948 --> 01:00:36,212
- Your number?
- 274001.
848
01:00:36,317 --> 01:00:38,581
Okay. Officer, what's
he going out on?
849
01:00:38,686 --> 01:00:40,620
He's going out
on cash collateral.
850
01:00:49,531 --> 01:00:51,591
- Good luck. Take care.
- Thanks a lot.
851
01:00:51,668 --> 01:00:53,066
All right.
852
01:02:17,922 --> 01:02:21,323
- How you doing, Ray?
- Hey, Ray, where you been?
853
01:02:21,391 --> 01:02:23,383
- What's up?
- Where you been, Ray?
854
01:02:23,494 --> 01:02:26,486
- I saw a police car, Ray.
- Yeah?
855
01:02:26,596 --> 01:02:29,155
- What's happening?
- Nothin' much.
856
01:02:29,231 --> 01:02:31,497
Where you been at
for a couple of days?
857
01:02:31,570 --> 01:02:35,665
- We ain't seen you.
- Bye, Ray.
858
01:02:44,013 --> 01:02:45,914
Everything cool, man?
859
01:02:49,919 --> 01:02:51,284
How did they treat
you in camp, man?
860
01:02:51,353 --> 01:02:53,446
- All right.
- Just hold on for a second.
861
01:02:53,556 --> 01:02:55,648
- I got something for ya.
- All right.
862
01:03:11,777 --> 01:03:15,336
- What's up, man?
- Yooo.
863
01:03:15,478 --> 01:03:17,912
What's up, man?
864
01:03:18,181 --> 01:03:20,114
What's up?
865
01:03:22,285 --> 01:03:26,416
- I'm alive, man.
- I cannot believe this shit.
866
01:03:26,523 --> 01:03:28,490
You been all right
in there?
867
01:03:28,592 --> 01:03:33,653
Yeah, I been cool.
You... I been great.
868
01:03:33,763 --> 01:03:35,890
Well, I'm all right, man.
869
01:03:35,965 --> 01:03:37,991
You know what?
870
01:03:38,068 --> 01:03:40,560
I'm blind now, man.
871
01:03:40,639 --> 01:03:43,005
I can't see shit, man.
872
01:03:43,074 --> 01:03:45,905
Somebody in Dodge City gonna
have to take care of that.
873
01:03:48,045 --> 01:03:52,244
- Take care of what?
- Man, I'm hurtin', man.
874
01:03:52,317 --> 01:03:54,409
And the only thing I can do
875
01:03:54,485 --> 01:03:58,046
to feel better is to know that
somebody else is hurtin'.
876
01:03:58,155 --> 01:04:00,418
What we gonna do is
handle this.
877
01:04:00,556 --> 01:04:03,252
Handle this how, nigga?
What the fuck are you talking about?
878
01:04:03,325 --> 01:04:05,261
- Are you fucking real or what?
- No, no, no, no. What...
879
01:04:05,362 --> 01:04:07,297
I got a motherfucking
bullet in my head,
880
01:04:07,364 --> 01:04:09,194
and whoever put it there,
they gonna pay.
881
01:04:09,265 --> 01:04:11,564
Now is you with that or what?
882
01:04:11,634 --> 01:04:14,569
Man, we've been doing
this for years. For what?
883
01:04:14,638 --> 01:04:16,570
I don't understand it.
I understood it before,
884
01:04:16,638 --> 01:04:18,698
but I don't understand that shit.
885
01:04:18,775 --> 01:04:20,266
'Cause you know what?
886
01:04:20,344 --> 01:04:22,141
When I was inside,
I realized something.
887
01:04:22,212 --> 01:04:25,342
I was blind for a long time, yo.
888
01:04:26,018 --> 01:04:31,215
I see now. And I see that
this shit has to end.
889
01:04:31,388 --> 01:04:33,825
There's not shit you can do.
890
01:04:33,893 --> 01:04:37,659
There is no one you can shoot,
not even the fucking doctor,
891
01:04:37,796 --> 01:04:39,787
that would give you your
fucking vision back.
892
01:04:41,465 --> 01:04:43,763
There's nothing,
no one you could shoot.
893
01:04:43,868 --> 01:04:45,836
You could shoot the sun,
894
01:04:47,472 --> 01:04:50,635
and everybody else
would just be blind.
895
01:04:51,977 --> 01:04:54,172
I spoke to your man inside, yo.
896
01:04:54,245 --> 01:04:57,805
- You what?
- I spoke with your man, yo.
897
01:04:57,881 --> 01:05:00,681
- Hopha.
- What'd he say?
898
01:05:00,753 --> 01:05:02,275
What'd he say?
899
01:05:02,354 --> 01:05:05,288
He said the same shit I'm saying.
That this shit is silly.
900
01:05:05,357 --> 01:05:07,552
He don't want any type of retaliation.
901
01:05:07,657 --> 01:05:10,093
Man, that's bullshit.
Fuck that bullshit you talking.
902
01:05:10,161 --> 01:05:11,923
It's not bullshit.
903
01:05:11,996 --> 01:05:13,932
Man, Hopha ain't
say nothing like that, man.
904
01:05:14,001 --> 01:05:17,696
He know Dodge City
sticks together no matter what.
905
01:05:17,769 --> 01:05:20,738
Anybody in Dodge City go down,
906
01:05:20,805 --> 01:05:22,898
the motherfucker's being dealt with.
907
01:05:22,975 --> 01:05:25,238
- What's this?
- What is this?
908
01:05:25,309 --> 01:05:26,869
Where the fuck you get this from, man?
909
01:05:26,945 --> 01:05:32,349
Your boy. He knew you wouldn't
believe shit I was telling you.
910
01:05:32,417 --> 01:05:35,318
And what the fuck
are we retaliating for?
911
01:05:35,386 --> 01:05:37,354
We don't need this shit any more.
912
01:05:37,421 --> 01:05:39,390
So what are you saying?
Dodge City is breaking up?
913
01:05:39,457 --> 01:05:42,358
What the fuck you talking about?
This ain't the temptations or some shit.
914
01:05:42,427 --> 01:05:44,190
We ain't breaking up.
915
01:05:45,930 --> 01:05:48,364
What makes you think
me and you can go talk to somebody
916
01:05:48,466 --> 01:05:51,229
that tried to kill me, man,
and tried to kill you?
917
01:05:51,302 --> 01:05:53,327
The fucking mayor can't
even talk to these people.
918
01:05:53,405 --> 01:05:55,102
The government can't even
talk to these people.
919
01:05:55,174 --> 01:05:57,108
I ain't talking about the mayor.
I ain't talking about the government.
920
01:05:57,175 --> 01:05:59,907
Nigga, I love you.
I love you.
921
01:05:59,979 --> 01:06:03,710
I just don't wanna see you go out
like a million other niggas before you.
922
01:06:09,054 --> 01:06:10,988
Man, I'm scared.
923
01:06:11,056 --> 01:06:15,459
- I know you're scared.
- Can you help me out, man?
924
01:06:15,560 --> 01:06:17,823
- I'll help you, Jack.
- Help me, man.
925
01:06:33,978 --> 01:06:37,243
Time is running out tick-tock
like grains of sand?
926
01:06:37,315 --> 01:06:40,719
Every man's sharpest man,
like steel's sharpest steel?
927
01:06:40,787 --> 01:06:42,482
The threat of a war is real?
928
01:06:42,556 --> 01:06:46,013
Where my soldiers
fought on the battlefield?
929
01:06:58,036 --> 01:06:59,197
- What's up, man?
- What's up, babe?
930
01:06:59,271 --> 01:07:02,639
- What's up, man?
- What's up with you?
931
01:07:02,709 --> 01:07:05,801
Man, look, man.
What the fuck is up, dude?
932
01:07:05,877 --> 01:07:08,244
I'm trying to get back.
I'm trying to get back.
933
01:07:08,315 --> 01:07:10,976
Motherfuckers.
Man, they blinded you, man.
934
01:07:11,050 --> 01:07:12,985
I'm trying to blind
one of them other niggas.
935
01:07:13,052 --> 01:07:16,489
- They drew first blood, baby.
- I understand.
936
01:07:16,590 --> 01:07:18,148
And they know me.
You know what I'm saying?
937
01:07:18,258 --> 01:07:20,589
They know all of us.
They know how we go.
938
01:07:20,660 --> 01:07:21,990
They know how we go.
939
01:07:22,061 --> 01:07:23,858
You gonna go over there
and take one of them out, right?
940
01:07:23,929 --> 01:07:25,920
- Pow pow baby.
- Pow pow baby.
941
01:07:25,998 --> 01:07:27,934
Live by the sword,
I'm gonna die by the sword.
942
01:07:28,001 --> 01:07:29,901
- You know what I'm saying?
- For who?
943
01:07:29,971 --> 01:07:31,994
Who the fuck you fighting for?
What are you fighting to protect?
944
01:07:32,072 --> 01:07:33,835
For my man.
Dodge City.
945
01:07:34,007 --> 01:07:36,407
You live in the motherfucking projects.
It's an experiment.
946
01:07:36,475 --> 01:07:38,842
Projects, experiment.
Government experiment.
947
01:07:38,912 --> 01:07:41,677
You serving time outside
of the penitentiary
948
01:07:41,748 --> 01:07:44,683
doing exactly what they
want you to do. Pow pow all day.
949
01:07:44,751 --> 01:07:46,718
That's the motherfucking
master plan, nigga.
950
01:07:46,786 --> 01:07:49,687
That's the motherfucking master plan.
951
01:07:49,755 --> 01:07:52,747
Let's see what Mike got to say about it.
952
01:07:52,857 --> 01:07:55,053
- Mike, make the house call.
- I'm making the call, man.
953
01:07:55,128 --> 01:07:57,858
You know, I want the guns down.
I want the guns down.
954
01:07:57,931 --> 01:08:01,798
- You heard what he said.
- Let's put the guns down.
- Put the guns down.
955
01:08:01,867 --> 01:08:04,700
There was one last bullet
that was shot around here,
956
01:08:04,770 --> 01:08:06,965
and that was the bullet in my head.
957
01:08:22,088 --> 01:08:25,648
? Time is running out tick-tock
like the grains of sand?
958
01:08:25,825 --> 01:08:28,454
? My man's sharpest man,
like steel's sharpest steel?
959
01:08:28,662 --> 01:08:30,425
? The threat of a war is real?
960
01:08:30,597 --> 01:08:33,087
? Where my soldiers
fought on the battlefield?
961
01:09:00,062 --> 01:09:02,394
- I can't believe you made it.
- I did.
962
01:09:02,598 --> 01:09:04,533
Well, come on in.
963
01:09:12,273 --> 01:09:15,243
Hey, lmani, hold on.
Ray, meet lmani.
964
01:09:15,310 --> 01:09:18,040
- Hi.
- How ya' doing?
965
01:09:18,112 --> 01:09:20,046
- Ray. Ray, this is DJ.
- Yo, what's up
966
01:09:20,113 --> 01:09:23,083
- This is Ray, a friend of mine.
- I'm DJ Renegade.
967
01:09:23,151 --> 01:09:26,346
DJ's a phat poet.
You got to hear his work.
968
01:09:26,419 --> 01:09:28,080
Actually, tonight you probably
hear some of his work because
969
01:09:28,188 --> 01:09:30,124
we're gonna do
a little poetry reading.
970
01:09:30,192 --> 01:09:33,683
Brothers and sisters, love will leave
you melancholy as a muted trumpet.
971
01:09:33,794 --> 01:09:37,229
Bluer than a cloudless sky,
bluer than a Viking's eye.
972
01:09:37,331 --> 01:09:41,233
You see, love is a blue-bottle
fly flitting between blue and green.
973
01:09:41,301 --> 01:09:44,499
Wings raggedy as a pair of old jeans.
974
01:09:44,572 --> 01:09:47,666
Merci beaucoup.
Love is Winnie the Pooh
975
01:09:47,742 --> 01:09:50,303
doing voodoo in corrective shoes.
976
01:09:52,913 --> 01:09:57,044
- Yo, you write?
- Um, a little bit.
977
01:09:57,119 --> 01:09:59,087
Oh, okay.
You gonna kick a piece later?
978
01:09:59,154 --> 01:10:02,417
- Um, I don't know.
- Yeah, He's gonna kick
a piece later.
979
01:10:02,489 --> 01:10:05,652
I have a million
things going on in my head.
980
01:10:05,758 --> 01:10:08,091
Oh, okay.
Oh, so you gonna free-style?
981
01:10:08,161 --> 01:10:09,561
No.
982
01:10:10,631 --> 01:10:15,796
His intergalactic free-style
jazz licks... my ears.
983
01:10:16,536 --> 01:10:20,439
As I ride his tongue and groove
984
01:10:20,507 --> 01:10:25,446
to the sound of chords
no man has ever touched.
985
01:10:25,514 --> 01:10:28,846
His touch tempts me to taste
986
01:10:28,917 --> 01:10:33,285
flesh of my flesh
from which he is made.
987
01:10:33,353 --> 01:10:35,185
His invisible strokes are felt
988
01:10:35,288 --> 01:10:39,055
as he stands on
the stage in front of me.
989
01:10:39,126 --> 01:10:43,861
A mike and a million
miles away from me.
990
01:10:43,965 --> 01:10:45,898
Everything is kind of new now.
991
01:10:45,965 --> 01:10:47,957
Like I wouldn't want to read
anything I'd written before.
992
01:10:48,035 --> 01:10:49,698
It's too old.
993
01:10:50,973 --> 01:10:53,100
It's nice to have
you on the outside, truly.
994
01:10:53,175 --> 01:10:55,199
It's good to be on
the outside. Truly.
995
01:10:55,276 --> 01:10:57,506
It's all right. I'm not tripping.
996
01:10:57,578 --> 01:10:59,875
You massage the universe's spine
997
01:10:59,946 --> 01:11:02,677
the way you twirl through time
998
01:11:03,652 --> 01:11:06,678
and leave shadows on the sun.
999
01:11:09,022 --> 01:11:11,551
My love is the wind song.
1000
01:11:11,628 --> 01:11:15,062
If it is up to me, I'll never die.
1001
01:11:15,163 --> 01:11:18,100
If it is up to me,
I'll die tomorrow a thousand times
1002
01:11:18,202 --> 01:11:20,169
in an hour
and live seven minutes later.
1003
01:11:20,637 --> 01:11:23,230
If it is up to me,
the sun will never cease to shine
1004
01:11:23,372 --> 01:11:25,306
and the moon will
never cease to glow
1005
01:11:25,375 --> 01:11:28,241
and I'll dance a million tomorrows
in the sun rays of the moon waves
1006
01:11:28,309 --> 01:11:31,179
and bathe in the
yesterdays of days to come,
1007
01:11:31,247 --> 01:11:34,648
ignoring all of my afterthoughts
and preconceived notions.
1008
01:11:34,717 --> 01:11:39,246
If it is up to me,
it is up to me.
1009
01:11:39,321 --> 01:11:42,916
And thus, is my love.
Untainted.
1010
01:11:43,025 --> 01:11:44,014
Eternal.
1011
01:11:45,928 --> 01:11:49,294
The wind is the moon's imagination.
Wandering.
1012
01:11:50,932 --> 01:11:53,764
It seeps through cracks,
1013
01:11:53,835 --> 01:11:58,137
ripples the grass,
explores the unknown.
1014
01:12:00,009 --> 01:12:02,342
My love is my soul's imagination.
1015
01:12:03,980 --> 01:12:05,914
How do I love you?
1016
01:12:06,984 --> 01:12:08,244
Lmagine.
1017
01:12:10,118 --> 01:12:12,452
I can't believe you actually came.
1018
01:12:14,857 --> 01:12:18,257
Glad I came.
Very glad I came.
1019
01:12:18,325 --> 01:12:20,487
I have thought of you.
1020
01:12:20,596 --> 01:12:25,829
Um, and, um...
1021
01:12:25,902 --> 01:12:28,495
What else?
1022
01:12:28,570 --> 01:12:30,562
What else is there?
1023
01:12:34,276 --> 01:12:36,301
Today, now.
1024
01:12:36,411 --> 01:12:39,006
There's tomorrow.
1025
01:12:39,182 --> 01:12:41,276
And the next day and the next.
1026
01:12:41,350 --> 01:12:44,080
Not today.
1027
01:12:44,220 --> 01:12:47,451
- Not now.
- Yeah. Well...
1028
01:12:47,623 --> 01:12:50,650
Tomorrow and the next day
and the next for me
1029
01:12:50,728 --> 01:12:54,025
is not exactly like...
1030
01:12:58,035 --> 01:12:59,865
I'm sorry, I mean...
1031
01:12:59,937 --> 01:13:02,131
- Ray...
- lf, if you want me to go...
1032
01:13:02,204 --> 01:13:07,109
I don't know what I want you to
do to be quite honest with you.
1033
01:13:07,176 --> 01:13:09,202
Um, today you're here.
1034
01:13:09,279 --> 01:13:12,144
Tomorrow and the next day,
I mean, you still,
1035
01:13:12,215 --> 01:13:14,115
you still have to go to court.
1036
01:13:14,182 --> 01:13:20,246
I mean, you still have to possibly,
um, go away.
1037
01:13:20,323 --> 01:13:24,489
I still have to try to get back
into prison to do my job...
1038
01:13:24,562 --> 01:13:29,123
No. I really can't.
1039
01:13:29,232 --> 01:13:31,726
I can't go there right now.
I just can't.
1040
01:13:33,606 --> 01:13:36,004
It's really difficult, Ray.
1041
01:13:36,474 --> 01:13:37,941
Who you telling?
1042
01:13:38,041 --> 01:13:41,407
You made an
impression on me.
1043
01:13:41,478 --> 01:13:44,037
And, um, it's funny,
1044
01:13:44,113 --> 01:13:48,312
I wasn't certain of when
I'd be able to see you again.
1045
01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:50,615
But...
1046
01:13:53,157 --> 01:13:57,148
this is all I'm asking for, now.
1047
01:15:24,682 --> 01:15:26,706
Look at the little one
with the ponytail.
1048
01:15:54,213 --> 01:15:55,873
So you coming to
the slam tonight?
1049
01:15:56,047 --> 01:15:59,950
Um, I don't know.
I may.
1050
01:16:00,053 --> 01:16:02,020
- You should.
- I want to.
1051
01:16:02,187 --> 01:16:05,520
You should. You should.
I can get you up on stage.
1052
01:16:05,624 --> 01:16:08,820
I just, yeah. I'm not trying,
I not thinking about performing.
1053
01:16:09,995 --> 01:16:13,590
I need to think.
You know, I just...
1054
01:16:14,300 --> 01:16:16,233
I have to go
to court on Monday.
1055
01:16:17,870 --> 01:16:20,099
Wow, that soon?
1056
01:16:20,171 --> 01:16:22,435
Damn, you just got out.
1057
01:16:27,212 --> 01:16:29,510
Have you thought about
what you're gonna do?
1058
01:16:31,716 --> 01:16:33,810
I have no clue.
I need time to think it over,
1059
01:16:33,919 --> 01:16:37,218
'cause I can't see what it is
I'm supposed to be doing now.
1060
01:16:37,289 --> 01:16:39,779
None of this makes sense to me.
1061
01:16:45,264 --> 01:16:47,198
You only have until
Monday though, right?
1062
01:16:47,266 --> 01:16:48,927
- Yes. I only have...
- What did your lawyer say?
1063
01:16:50,535 --> 01:16:52,469
My lawyer told me to cop a plea.
1064
01:16:52,570 --> 01:16:54,505
He told me that's
the best thing I should do.
1065
01:16:54,573 --> 01:16:56,302
He said if I fight it,
1066
01:16:56,375 --> 01:16:58,569
I'll probably just end up
getting more time.
1067
01:16:58,642 --> 01:17:02,080
- It's...
- What's, what's your charge?
1068
01:17:03,649 --> 01:17:05,980
Possession of illegal substance.
1069
01:17:06,050 --> 01:17:08,612
Are you guilty?
Did you do it?
1070
01:17:09,823 --> 01:17:11,347
I had it on me.
1071
01:17:13,660 --> 01:17:15,889
What's going to be is going to be.
1072
01:17:15,993 --> 01:17:18,360
You stand up and you face it.
1073
01:17:18,430 --> 01:17:20,396
It's a lot to face.
1074
01:17:20,500 --> 01:17:22,935
It's a hell of a lot to face...
1075
01:17:24,104 --> 01:17:26,470
...for some weed, you know.
1076
01:17:26,538 --> 01:17:28,336
Man, they caught you with the shit
red-handed.
1077
01:17:28,408 --> 01:17:31,740
- What are you gonna do? Run?
- No, I...
1078
01:17:31,809 --> 01:17:33,743
I think there has
to be another way out.
1079
01:17:33,811 --> 01:17:36,248
I pray there has
to be another way out.
1080
01:17:36,316 --> 01:17:40,911
Copping a fucking plea?
That shit is not my way.
1081
01:17:40,986 --> 01:17:42,976
I can't, I can't feel that shit.
I can't see that shit.
1082
01:17:43,054 --> 01:17:45,319
Wait a minute. You acting
like you did not do this shit.
1083
01:17:45,389 --> 01:17:48,052
Like copping a plea would
be like lying to yourself.
1084
01:17:48,160 --> 01:17:49,957
Well, you...
you did that shit, Ray.
1085
01:17:50,028 --> 01:17:52,460
I did do the shit,
but I don't feel guilty about it.
1086
01:17:52,531 --> 01:17:54,296
I don't feel guilty.
1087
01:17:54,368 --> 01:17:56,302
I'm sorry,
but I don't feel guilty.
1088
01:17:56,402 --> 01:17:57,771
But you did it.
1089
01:17:57,771 --> 01:17:59,466
So the fuck what?
I don't care.
1090
01:17:59,606 --> 01:18:01,973
- I did it. I did it.
- Yeah.
1091
01:18:02,042 --> 01:18:05,738
But what the fuck did I do?
And what are they doing to me?
1092
01:18:05,813 --> 01:18:08,679
What the fuck is the punishment
for that shit?
1093
01:18:08,748 --> 01:18:10,578
There, there has to be magical doors.
1094
01:18:10,683 --> 01:18:13,208
I'm looking for the fucking
magical doors.
1095
01:18:13,385 --> 01:18:15,513
That's what I need.
That's what I need.
1096
01:18:15,655 --> 01:18:18,283
That's what's gonna get me out
of this shit, you know?
1097
01:18:18,359 --> 01:18:22,988
I mean, yesterday,
I woke up in a fucking prison.
1098
01:18:23,096 --> 01:18:26,327
I woke up on a fucking ship.
I woke up there, you know?
1099
01:18:26,431 --> 01:18:29,595
I woke up there.
And then I went home.
1100
01:18:29,703 --> 01:18:32,034
And I saw that for what it was.
1101
01:18:32,105 --> 01:18:34,505
And then, I came here,
1102
01:18:35,708 --> 01:18:39,304
and it was like, it was like
a fucking new world to me.
1103
01:18:39,379 --> 01:18:41,848
It was a new world.
1104
01:18:41,916 --> 01:18:43,908
And I was like, ah,
this is fucking home.
1105
01:18:43,984 --> 01:18:45,008
This is where I need to be.
1106
01:18:45,084 --> 01:18:47,451
This is the shit that I've
dreamt about, you know?
1107
01:18:47,520 --> 01:18:51,184
This is the shit that I can feel.
This is the new world that I want.
1108
01:18:51,258 --> 01:18:55,059
But I don't want to have to
go through the fucking middle
passage to get to the new world.
1109
01:18:55,162 --> 01:18:57,155
That's not for me.
1110
01:19:02,670 --> 01:19:05,331
Look, Ray, all I'm saying
is you made a mistake, baby,
1111
01:19:05,671 --> 01:19:07,605
I mean we all make mistakes.
I've made mistakes.
1112
01:19:08,173 --> 01:19:10,006
All you got to do is
just walk up in that court
1113
01:19:10,109 --> 01:19:12,043
with your head up high.
1114
01:19:13,112 --> 01:19:15,581
Accept responsibility
for what you've done. Go to jail.
1115
01:19:15,650 --> 01:19:18,082
Do your time.
Make the most of your time.
1116
01:19:18,151 --> 01:19:20,016
You read, write,
do whatever it is you gotta do...
1117
01:19:20,086 --> 01:19:22,578
What the fuck are you saying?
What are you saying?
1118
01:19:22,691 --> 01:19:25,660
No, no, no, no, no.
This isn't class now.
1119
01:19:25,826 --> 01:19:28,954
My only responsibility
is to my fucking dreams.
1120
01:19:29,029 --> 01:19:31,326
You know what I'm saying?
That's my responsibility.
1121
01:19:31,798 --> 01:19:35,497
Not to no other shit like that.
You know, l...
1122
01:19:35,603 --> 01:19:38,038
This is a part of your dreams, Ray.
You cannot have your dreams
if you don't-
1123
01:19:38,138 --> 01:19:40,571
This is not
a part of my fucking dreams.
1124
01:19:40,674 --> 01:19:43,200
This is not no fucking metaphor.
This is my life.
1125
01:19:43,276 --> 01:19:45,437
Motherfucker,
who you think you jumping up on?
1126
01:19:47,281 --> 01:19:49,614
You don't know this.
1127
01:20:01,827 --> 01:20:04,592
I know about your dreams.
1128
01:20:04,697 --> 01:20:08,098
And I know about not
being able to get your dreams
1129
01:20:08,167 --> 01:20:10,695
and wanting them and having them and
seeing all these roadblocks in your way.
1130
01:20:10,806 --> 01:20:13,205
I know something about that shit, Ray.
It doesn't... -
1131
01:20:13,275 --> 01:20:15,572
I haven't been in jail.
1132
01:20:15,644 --> 01:20:18,136
I haven't done time,
but I know something about that, Ray.
1133
01:20:18,213 --> 01:20:21,546
And all I'm saying is,
this thing that you're going through
1134
01:20:21,650 --> 01:20:26,848
right now is what is going
to catapult you into a fucking dream.
1135
01:20:27,187 --> 01:20:29,680
You can't see that right now
because you haven't been there.
1136
01:20:29,859 --> 01:20:31,791
- I've been there.
- You haven't fucking been there.
1137
01:20:31,892 --> 01:20:34,062
- Where the fuck have you been?
- Don't you fucking tell me
1138
01:20:34,062 --> 01:20:36,964
I haven't been there before.
You don't know me.
1139
01:20:37,065 --> 01:20:39,556
You don't know my fucking
life story, motherfucker.
1140
01:20:39,767 --> 01:20:41,292
And you know mine?
1141
01:20:41,402 --> 01:20:45,203
Oh, yeah.
You just spilled it all right here.
1142
01:20:45,307 --> 01:20:47,609
You don't know what kind of
prisons I've been a part of.
1143
01:20:47,609 --> 01:20:50,544
You don't know what
it's like to sell your ass
1144
01:20:50,611 --> 01:20:52,977
on the street for a hit of crack.
1145
01:20:53,079 --> 01:20:54,708
You don't know what that's
like, motherfucker.
1146
01:20:54,883 --> 01:20:56,818
I've been a slave.
Fuck being a prisoner.
1147
01:20:56,953 --> 01:20:58,853
Oh, don't come for me,
motherfucker.
1148
01:20:58,853 --> 01:21:00,651
Let me tell you something.
1149
01:21:00,722 --> 01:21:03,417
You don't know me.
Remember that.
1150
01:21:03,559 --> 01:21:04,924
You don't know
where I come from.
1151
01:21:04,993 --> 01:21:07,790
But everything you telling
me right now? I know it.
1152
01:21:08,028 --> 01:21:10,555
I know it like the back
of my motherfucking hand.
1153
01:21:10,700 --> 01:21:12,633
What the fuck do you mean
I don't know?
1154
01:21:12,803 --> 01:21:15,133
You've been a fucking slave?
What do you think I've been?
1155
01:21:15,236 --> 01:21:16,066
You don't know.
1156
01:21:16,237 --> 01:21:18,762
Where did you think I was
in that fucking metaphor?
1157
01:21:18,839 --> 01:21:22,172
Where do you think I was, huh?
When you were the fucking slave,
1158
01:21:22,277 --> 01:21:24,973
who was the fucking overseer?
Where did you think I was then?
1159
01:21:25,947 --> 01:21:27,415
Who was the one giving it to you?
1160
01:21:27,514 --> 01:21:29,983
Who was the one selling that shit?
1161
01:21:30,051 --> 01:21:32,076
- That was me.
- Oh, oh. Awareness.
1162
01:21:32,254 --> 01:21:35,312
Bing. Say that shit again.
Say it again, goddamn it.
1163
01:21:35,389 --> 01:21:38,087
Say it again. Who was it?
Who was it?
1164
01:21:38,159 --> 01:21:40,128
Who was it that put
me in my prison?
1165
01:21:40,197 --> 01:21:43,824
Who was it that enslaved me?
Who was it, goddamn it?
1166
01:21:43,898 --> 01:21:46,365
Who the fuck was it, huh?
1167
01:21:46,434 --> 01:21:49,164
Who was it? Huh?
1168
01:21:49,269 --> 01:21:53,708
It was you.
It was you.
1169
01:21:53,809 --> 01:21:57,437
It was you.
You wanted to be there.
1170
01:22:00,081 --> 01:22:02,482
It ain't easy, baby,
escaping it.
1171
01:22:02,584 --> 01:22:06,418
It hasn't been easy.
It hasn't been easy for none of us.
1172
01:22:09,858 --> 01:22:14,521
You ain't the first motherfucker
to be up in this piece, like this.
1173
01:22:14,661 --> 01:22:15,922
And you won't be the last.
1174
01:22:18,600 --> 01:22:23,558
All I'm trying to do, Ray,
is help you, baby.
1175
01:22:23,671 --> 01:22:25,539
'Cause I've been there.
That's all.
1176
01:22:25,742 --> 01:22:28,074
That's all I'm trying to say.
That's all that was.
1177
01:22:28,245 --> 01:22:30,269
That was just to show you
that I've been there.
1178
01:22:30,378 --> 01:22:33,440
I know what it's like.
I know what the fear is like.
1179
01:22:33,550 --> 01:22:36,781
I know what the pain is like.
I know what it's like.
1180
01:22:36,920 --> 01:22:39,218
I know what it's like
to be cornered.
1181
01:22:39,322 --> 01:22:41,585
I know what it's like.
1182
01:22:41,756 --> 01:22:44,353
Just trust me, baby.
Just trust me.
1183
01:22:44,494 --> 01:22:47,986
All you gotta do is go through it.
Don't fall into their traps.
1184
01:22:48,131 --> 01:22:51,622
Don't fall into their game.
Please, just go.
1185
01:22:51,735 --> 01:22:55,329
'Cause if you run away from it,
you just gonna get caught up later.
1186
01:22:57,006 --> 01:22:58,804
Trust me.
1187
01:22:58,875 --> 01:23:01,139
Your freedom is there.
It's waiting for you.
1188
01:23:01,210 --> 01:23:04,509
It's waiting for you.
And oddly enough, baby,
1189
01:23:04,579 --> 01:23:07,913
it's waiting for you
in the goddamned prison.
1190
01:23:07,983 --> 01:23:10,280
It is.
1191
01:23:13,256 --> 01:23:14,847
I know you can't see it.
1192
01:23:14,925 --> 01:23:17,484
I know you can't see it,
but it's there.
1193
01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:19,495
It's there. It's there.
1194
01:23:21,565 --> 01:23:23,622
Ray...
1195
01:23:23,699 --> 01:23:26,727
Ray. Ray.
1196
01:23:26,837 --> 01:23:27,769
Ray!
1197
01:23:30,240 --> 01:23:31,171
Damn.
1198
01:24:13,817 --> 01:24:15,307
Come on, let's hear
it from you tonight.
1199
01:24:15,685 --> 01:24:18,448
Welcome to the Poetry Club,
1200
01:24:18,590 --> 01:24:21,455
where the words you say
are the thoughts you live
1201
01:24:21,526 --> 01:24:24,790
and where nothing ever happens
unless you say it first.
1202
01:24:24,860 --> 01:24:27,454
Tonight, let's see
who our first poet is.
1203
01:24:27,531 --> 01:24:29,725
Who's gonna be coming up
here for the slam tonight?
1204
01:24:29,797 --> 01:24:33,064
Please bring up
Liza Jesse Peterson.
1205
01:24:35,138 --> 01:24:37,265
Ice cream.
1206
01:24:39,744 --> 01:24:42,110
Ice cream.
1207
01:24:42,181 --> 01:24:46,345
I used to be an ice cream fiend.
1208
01:24:54,792 --> 01:25:00,322
You see it all started when I had
a large scoop of Rain Forest Crunch
1209
01:25:00,399 --> 01:25:03,161
with extra walnuts.
1210
01:25:03,266 --> 01:25:05,734
Would you like a cup
or cone, Miss?
1211
01:25:05,803 --> 01:25:09,294
Cup or cone?
1212
01:25:09,407 --> 01:25:12,102
Cup or cone.
1213
01:25:12,175 --> 01:25:13,508
Cup or cone.
I was in a zone
1214
01:25:13,579 --> 01:25:16,478
where I had to make a wise
choice between a cup or a cone.
1215
01:25:16,547 --> 01:25:19,038
You see,
it's more fun with a cone,
1216
01:25:19,117 --> 01:25:21,549
because I lick the tip
1217
01:25:21,619 --> 01:25:25,213
and then I crunch
and munch the cone.
1218
01:25:25,288 --> 01:25:27,258
And then I lick the tip again,
1219
01:25:27,327 --> 01:25:29,316
and I crunch
and I munch on the cone
1220
01:25:29,393 --> 01:25:31,486
until there's one sip
at the bottom tip
1221
01:25:31,562 --> 01:25:34,224
and I pop it in my mouth and
grin because I like that game.
1222
01:25:42,374 --> 01:25:44,308
You never cared about my mother...
1223
01:26:11,738 --> 01:26:14,035
I'm writing the poem
that will change the world.
1224
01:26:14,106 --> 01:26:18,337
And it's "like Lilly,
like Wilson" at my office door.
1225
01:26:18,409 --> 01:26:21,574
Lilly Wilson, a recovering
"like" addict.
1226
01:26:21,647 --> 01:26:23,671
The worst I've ever seen.
1227
01:26:23,749 --> 01:26:26,012
So "like-bad"
1228
01:26:26,084 --> 01:26:28,677
that the entire eighth grade
1229
01:26:28,753 --> 01:26:33,189
started calling her,
"like Lilly like Wilson like".
1230
01:26:34,360 --> 01:26:39,262
Until I made my classroom
a "like-free" zone,
1231
01:26:39,331 --> 01:26:43,130
and she could not speak for days.
1232
01:26:53,177 --> 01:26:55,738
Another perfect score.
A ten to the fifth power.
1233
01:26:58,551 --> 01:27:02,510
Another 9.5. Don't tell me
there's synchronization here.
1234
01:27:09,428 --> 01:27:11,258
- Can I help you?
- Yeah.
1235
01:27:11,330 --> 01:27:13,354
I'm supposed to be
meeting someone here.
1236
01:27:14,533 --> 01:27:18,799
Every slam is a finality.
1237
01:27:18,904 --> 01:27:21,373
Every slam is the end.
1238
01:27:21,473 --> 01:27:24,476
And tonight there's
no other way
1239
01:27:24,476 --> 01:27:29,142
to end this slam,
but to bring up here
1240
01:27:29,215 --> 01:27:32,207
one of the true
heroes of poetry.
1241
01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:37,181
Do y'all remember
1242
01:27:37,254 --> 01:27:40,691
when Lauren started out here?
1243
01:27:40,758 --> 01:27:42,626
Yeah.
1244
01:27:45,597 --> 01:27:51,002
Let's please bring Lauren up here
1245
01:27:51,070 --> 01:27:55,006
to make it happen for us right now.
1246
01:27:55,109 --> 01:27:58,976
There's nothing else
that can happen in the word
1247
01:27:59,044 --> 01:28:03,572
but to make the word
be the word itself.
1248
01:28:04,148 --> 01:28:06,208
Something that you've heard before.
1249
01:28:06,451 --> 01:28:07,815
Come on, Lauren.
1250
01:28:07,920 --> 01:28:13,084
This is, um, a poem that
I found when I was drowning one day.
1251
01:28:13,559 --> 01:28:16,221
This is, um, for a friend
of mine who's um,
1252
01:28:16,596 --> 01:28:19,565
goin' through
a hard time right now.
1253
01:28:25,905 --> 01:28:28,032
I feel like my back
is against a brick wall,
1254
01:28:28,141 --> 01:28:31,303
and I've got a Mac truck
two inches from my face.
1255
01:28:31,376 --> 01:28:36,111
Every cell in my body
is screaming run.
1256
01:28:36,183 --> 01:28:38,446
But I can't.
1257
01:28:38,518 --> 01:28:40,782
I'm kicking and stomping
and running and jumping,
1258
01:28:40,853 --> 01:28:43,879
wreaking all kinds of havoc,
creating a bloody mess
1259
01:28:43,957 --> 01:28:46,719
and I'm going nowhere.
1260
01:28:46,792 --> 01:28:49,160
Somewhere in my mind
I think I am moving.
1261
01:28:49,229 --> 01:28:51,129
Somewhere in reality
I am running.
1262
01:28:51,197 --> 01:28:55,190
Somewhere inside myself
I am oh-so-still.
1263
01:28:55,268 --> 01:28:57,098
Quiet, dead.
1264
01:28:57,202 --> 01:29:00,296
My soul is not rising.
My spirit is not lifting.
1265
01:29:00,404 --> 01:29:03,501
My life is not living.
But I am running.
1266
01:29:03,609 --> 01:29:06,906
Moving through the universe,
a whirling dervish with no end,
1267
01:29:06,978 --> 01:29:09,074
no purpose, no means,
no life left to live.
1268
01:29:09,150 --> 01:29:11,743
And yet still I want to go
to that place where I can run.
1269
01:29:11,819 --> 01:29:14,582
Run free my mind tells me.
1270
01:29:14,656 --> 01:29:18,491
But those two words cannot
occupy the same space in reality.
1271
01:29:18,560 --> 01:29:21,323
Run, free.
1272
01:29:21,396 --> 01:29:25,627
My back is against a brick wall.
I got a Mac truck two inches
from my face!
1273
01:29:25,698 --> 01:29:28,223
Well run free, baby.
Run now.
1274
01:29:28,301 --> 01:29:32,136
It just looks hard,
but it's so easy.
1275
01:29:32,239 --> 01:29:34,069
Just turn around and go.
Clip all the wires,
1276
01:29:34,140 --> 01:29:36,439
hookups and hangups,
and then you're home free.
1277
01:29:36,510 --> 01:29:38,977
You can give birth
to an excuse so easily,
1278
01:29:39,079 --> 01:29:40,670
you'll believe
it's always been there.
1279
01:29:40,781 --> 01:29:44,047
Part of the natural order, made
to order by your forever clever mind.
1280
01:29:44,118 --> 01:29:47,984
Constantly protecting you
against things you no longer
need to be protected from.
1281
01:29:48,055 --> 01:29:52,353
And I believe.
I believe like a Holy Roller,
1282
01:29:52,425 --> 01:29:54,894
singing, sweating, preaching,
go tell it on the mountain,
1283
01:29:54,961 --> 01:29:56,328
while speaking in twenty
different tongues,
1284
01:29:56,397 --> 01:29:59,422
while diving
in ten thousand feet of baptismal
water without a life preserver.
1285
01:29:59,501 --> 01:30:02,367
I believe like my bullet-ridden
brother out there somewhere
1286
01:30:02,437 --> 01:30:05,064
right now gurgling blood
through his last breath,
1287
01:30:05,173 --> 01:30:08,300
spitting out a red ripe prayer
so new, so sweet, so baby fresh,
1288
01:30:08,407 --> 01:30:11,379
so full of truth, he thinks
it can save his life.
1289
01:30:13,281 --> 01:30:15,111
God does not exist
in desperation
1290
01:30:15,182 --> 01:30:18,208
and hope is lying dead somewhere
in the sewer down the street,
1291
01:30:18,285 --> 01:30:20,047
around the corner, in the alley,
underneath the feet of somebody,
1292
01:30:20,119 --> 01:30:23,284
itching, scratching, trembling,
jonesing for their next hit
1293
01:30:23,359 --> 01:30:26,088
and sucking somebody's dick.
1294
01:30:26,160 --> 01:30:28,684
I got two minutes, ya'll.
I got two motherfucking minutes
1295
01:30:28,760 --> 01:30:31,754
before I run free or die, ya'll.
1296
01:30:31,833 --> 01:30:36,430
Two minutes before I smash
my face into the grill of a Mac truck.
1297
01:30:36,504 --> 01:30:39,871
Before I get ten thousand
bricks shoved up my ass.
1298
01:30:39,942 --> 01:30:43,432
Before I run free or die.
1299
01:30:54,988 --> 01:30:57,821
Lauren Bell. Lauren Bell.
1300
01:30:57,893 --> 01:31:00,416
Get her back up here.
I need an encore.
1301
01:31:00,494 --> 01:31:03,363
I need an encore.
1302
01:31:03,432 --> 01:31:07,697
You know, it's about
spreading love.
1303
01:31:07,802 --> 01:31:10,565
And I met somebody recently
who, um,
1304
01:31:10,638 --> 01:31:13,105
who touched my, who moved me.
1305
01:31:13,205 --> 01:31:16,538
And I hope he does
the same thing for you.
1306
01:31:16,642 --> 01:31:20,511
Um, this is his first time
reading,
1307
01:31:20,581 --> 01:31:23,015
and he's a big, big talent,
1308
01:31:23,082 --> 01:31:25,611
and he needs our love
and our support.
1309
01:31:25,688 --> 01:31:28,088
And I give you, Ray.
1310
01:31:28,157 --> 01:31:30,124
Come on up here.
1311
01:31:32,697 --> 01:31:34,788
Yeah, come on, Ray.
1312
01:31:34,864 --> 01:31:36,455
Everybody, come on.
1313
01:31:41,336 --> 01:31:43,166
Yeah, come on, Ray.
1314
01:32:03,725 --> 01:32:05,920
- Do it, now.
- Take your time.
1315
01:32:11,001 --> 01:32:13,731
If I could find the spot
where truth echoes,
1316
01:32:13,803 --> 01:32:17,499
I would stand there and whisper
memories of my children's future.
1317
01:32:19,074 --> 01:32:20,973
I would let their future
dwell in my past
1318
01:32:21,042 --> 01:32:24,136
so that I might live
a brighter now.
1319
01:32:24,614 --> 01:32:28,811
Now is the essence of my domain and
it contains all that was and will be
1320
01:32:28,885 --> 01:32:30,545
because I am and I will...
1321
01:32:32,321 --> 01:32:34,049
I'll try it again.
1322
01:32:50,837 --> 01:32:52,398
If I could find the spot
where truth echoes,
1323
01:32:52,473 --> 01:32:56,138
I would stand there and whisper
memories of my children's future.
1324
01:32:56,245 --> 01:32:58,237
I would let their future
dwell in my past
1325
01:32:58,347 --> 01:33:01,214
so that I might live
a brighter now.
1326
01:33:01,283 --> 01:33:03,683
Now is the essence of my domain,
1327
01:33:03,752 --> 01:33:05,687
and it contains all that was
and will be.
1328
01:33:05,754 --> 01:33:09,780
And I am as I was and will be because
I am and always will be that nigga.
1329
01:33:09,857 --> 01:33:12,326
I am that nigga.
I am that nigga.
1330
01:33:12,395 --> 01:33:16,228
I am that timeless nigga that
swings on pendulums like vines
1331
01:33:16,297 --> 01:33:19,757
through minds of booby-trapped
minds that are enslaved by time.
1332
01:33:19,836 --> 01:33:23,032
I am the life that
supersedes lifetimes, I am.
1333
01:33:23,105 --> 01:33:26,097
It was me with serpentine hair
with a timeless stare
1334
01:33:26,208 --> 01:33:29,301
that with immortal glare turned
mortal fear into stone time capsules.
1335
01:33:29,409 --> 01:33:32,472
They still exist as the walking
dead as I do,
1336
01:33:32,581 --> 01:33:35,675
the original suffer-head, symbol
of life and matriarchy's severed head.
1337
01:33:35,751 --> 01:33:37,513
Medusa, I am.
1338
01:33:37,585 --> 01:33:39,715
I am that nigga.
I am that nigga.
1339
01:33:39,791 --> 01:33:41,620
I am that niggga.
I am the Negro.
1340
01:33:41,692 --> 01:33:43,352
Yes, Negro.
Negro from necro.
1341
01:33:43,426 --> 01:33:45,952
Meaning death. I overcame it,
so they named me after it.
1342
01:33:46,031 --> 01:33:47,759
And I've been spittin' at death
from behind
1343
01:33:47,832 --> 01:33:49,459
and putting "kick me" signs
on its back.
1344
01:33:49,533 --> 01:33:52,194
Because I am not the son
of sha clack clack.
1345
01:33:52,268 --> 01:33:54,600
I am before that.
I am before.
1346
01:33:54,703 --> 01:33:58,161
I am before before.
Before death is eternity.
1347
01:33:58,241 --> 01:33:59,732
After death is eternity.
There is no death.
1348
01:33:59,843 --> 01:34:03,107
There's only eternity.
And I be riding on the wings
of eternity like,
1349
01:34:03,180 --> 01:34:05,943
ya, ya, ya,
sha clack clack.
1350
01:34:06,015 --> 01:34:07,506
But my flight doesn't go
undisturbed
1351
01:34:07,584 --> 01:34:11,350
because time makes dreams defer
and all of my time fears
1352
01:34:11,420 --> 01:34:12,719
are turning my days
into daymares.
1353
01:34:12,790 --> 01:34:16,590
And I live daymares reliving
nightmares that once haunted
my past sha clack clack.
1354
01:34:16,659 --> 01:34:17,785
Time is beatin' my ass.
1355
01:34:17,861 --> 01:34:20,523
And I be having dreams of
chocolate-covered watermelons
1356
01:34:20,597 --> 01:34:22,564
filled with fried chickens
like pinatas.
1357
01:34:22,631 --> 01:34:25,100
With little pickaninny sons and
daughters standing up under
them
1358
01:34:25,168 --> 01:34:26,796
with big sticks and aluminum foil,
1359
01:34:26,871 --> 01:34:29,965
hittin' them trying to catch
pieces of fallen fried chicken wings.
1360
01:34:30,041 --> 01:34:31,802
And Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben
are standing in the corners
1361
01:34:31,908 --> 01:34:34,173
with rifles pointing at the
heads of the little children.
1362
01:34:34,278 --> 01:34:35,768
"Don't shoot the children!"
I shout.
1363
01:34:35,880 --> 01:34:37,813
"Don't shoot the children!"
But they say,"It's too late.
1364
01:34:37,914 --> 01:34:39,611
They've already been infected
by time."
1365
01:34:39,684 --> 01:34:43,016
But this shit is before my time.
I need more time.
1366
01:34:43,088 --> 01:34:46,283
But it's too late.
They start shooting at the
children and killing them.
1367
01:34:46,356 --> 01:34:48,085
One by one, two by two,
1368
01:34:48,158 --> 01:34:49,749
three by three, four by four,
1369
01:34:49,825 --> 01:34:52,124
Five by five, six by six.
1370
01:34:52,194 --> 01:34:55,029
But my spirit is growing
seven by seven.
1371
01:34:55,098 --> 01:34:56,828
Faster than the speed of light
1372
01:34:56,901 --> 01:35:00,426
because light only penetrates
the darkness that's already there.
1373
01:35:00,570 --> 01:35:03,300
And I'm already there.
I'm here at the end of the road,
1374
01:35:03,373 --> 01:35:05,341
which is the beginning of the
road beyond time.
1375
01:35:05,441 --> 01:35:08,035
But where my niggas at?
1376
01:35:09,113 --> 01:35:11,981
Oh, shit. Don't tell me
my niggas got lost in time.
1377
01:35:14,283 --> 01:35:16,845
My niggas are dying
before their time.
1378
01:35:17,453 --> 01:35:21,254
My niggas are serving
unjust time.
1379
01:35:21,458 --> 01:35:24,790
My niggas are dying
because of time.
1380
01:36:07,271 --> 01:36:09,140
Look, um...
1381
01:36:09,140 --> 01:36:11,606
I just, uh...
1382
01:36:11,709 --> 01:36:14,975
I just want to apologize
for what happened earlier.
1383
01:36:15,146 --> 01:36:18,081
I didn't, you know,
mean for it to get out of hand.
1384
01:36:20,150 --> 01:36:22,813
Look, no, no, look,
1385
01:36:22,921 --> 01:36:27,291
I just want to you know that,
um...
1386
01:36:27,359 --> 01:36:30,795
no matter what happens
on Monday...
1387
01:36:30,929 --> 01:36:33,664
no matter what you decide to do,
1388
01:36:33,664 --> 01:36:36,326
I'm gonna be here for you.
1389
01:36:38,702 --> 01:36:41,606
Go home and write your own
goddamn poems. Goddamn it.
1390
01:36:41,706 --> 01:36:44,675
You better get back out there.
Can't you hear them?
1391
01:36:44,776 --> 01:36:47,973
Just one more.
1392
01:36:48,947 --> 01:36:50,279
I need to get some air.
1393
01:36:52,049 --> 01:36:54,519
- Then you'll come back?
- Yeah.
1394
01:36:54,621 --> 01:37:00,182
Okay. Well, I'll hold the fort
down till you get back.
1395
01:37:00,659 --> 01:37:01,852
Thank you.
1396
01:37:02,305 --> 01:37:08,251
