Come to Detroit, Michigan,
a wonderful vacation spot for you and the entire family.
There are so many activities for you to enjoy.
For the ultimate family fun experience,
make your reservations today
and come to the breathtaking city of Detroit, Michigan.
That's not my Detroit.
This is my Detroit, my hometown.
Surviving streets of Detroit was not an easy task,
especially when you're a woman.
But I had to get my money by any means necessary.
There were times you had to use your gut instinct.
There were times when violence was necessarily.
But most of the time you had to use your brain.
I used to run these streets,
of course, that was during my youthful days.
Now I just try to inspire the youth
by telling my story.
Hello ladies, my name is Delrhonda Hood.
But on the streets I was known as Big Fifty.
I'm here to help you avoid the mistakes that I made.
I don't want you to go through what I did.
I'm here to save you, not from just the life of crime
but to save you from yourselves.
You know what it's time to do, yay!
Time to bake this cake.
Go ahead, have a seat.
Looks good, Chip.
Now, the cake is for your father
and for after dinner, okay?
Can't we have it now?
I'll be dead by then.
Dead?
Then I guess that means you're gon' miss out
on dessert altogether then, silly girl.
Hmm, delicious.
Now, spread it on the sides first, okay?
Right over there, yep.
Oh, and let me get the sprinkles.
Be quiet. Now will you get your clothes off?
Yeah, you better run. Get your ass out!
My mom was a horrible shot
but she will shoot at you.
Daddy got away.
I didn't know that would be the last time
I would see him for awhile.
Well, I see you finally left his ass.
Mama Tilda please.
Well, he is my son,
but he's always strayed just like his daddy.
Left me with 17 damn kids,
and who knows how many more he got out there?
Are you mocking me?
I'm tired of hearing a story about a man
you had 17 kids with.
Well, don't be disrespectful.
Just please stop saying that stuff around Rhonda.
Are you gonna let us in?
- Come on, come on. - Thank you.
I missed our home.
Rhonda baby, let me get that for you.
Being at my grandma's house,
it wasn't all that fun with all them kids she had,
plus I really missed my daddy.
Uncle Terry, where is Grandma?
Hun, your mama went to the store
to get some things for dinner.
They'll be back soon.
So how do you like living here with us?
It's okay. Kind of crowded.
Yeah.
Follow me, I got something for you.
It's down in my room.
Have a seat.
This is what I got for you.
Is this for me?
Yes.
♪ She's on her way going to Hollywood ♪
♪ Bussin' it to Hollywood
Come over here and give your Uncle Teddy a nice big hug.
That day my uncle robbed me.
He robbed me of my childhood,
he robbed me of my innocence.
He stole everything that was pure about me.
He changed me.
I was too young to know in how many ways.
Why can't y'all make me a business partner?
Because you don't squeeze enough lemons.
Rene, why don't you make your own lemonade stand?
Because I buy more lemonades than anybody else.
And we thank you.
Y'all get on my nerves. I'm going home.
Bye.
She tripping, let's go to Lori's house.
You look sharp, Lori.
Where are you going to? A fancy party?
No, we're about to go to my grandma's house.
All right, so we have more money to add to the cash purse,
so go and get it for us.
Oh, I don't have it. I spent all of it.
I know you're lying.
Why would you do that, Lori?
Because I wanted a new outfit and some new gym shoes.
So you're telling us you're wearing our money.
No, I'm wearing my money.
Girl, you must be stupid.
Don't put your hands on me.
Besides, y'all gave me the money.
First off we gave you the money to hold
so we can all buy new things.
Look, I'm not thinking about y'all.
I'm thinking about myself.
Really?
All right then. Hold this.
He's been coming home late lately.
I almost locked him out the other night.
Chip, is that blood on you?
Are you okay, baby?
Rhonda, what in the world?
What did you do now, huh?
Nothing.
Answer your mother.
I asked you a question!
And what do you have behind your back?
What is this?
What is that? You little girl.
Is that a eye!
What is wrong with you little girl, huh?
Nothing, she had it coming. She took my money.
Lori's glass eye nearly cost my family $100,000,
which just about bankrupted us.
Mom wouldn't let me leave the house for almost six months.
Girl, what are you doing out here?
I'm going to Hollywood.
You ain't going to Hollywood.
You're going to be right here with me here in Hollyhood.
Whatever.
And you need to do them dishes.
Eh, I already did them.
I had to get up out of there.
The secrets I had to keep to myself nearly destroyed me.
After getting kicked out of so many schools,
mom sent me to a good Christian school
where I could develop a great spiritual foundation
and get in a better understanding of my faith,
my morals, and selling LSD.
I'm moving a lot of this LSD.
Let me try one.
I told you no.
I'll buy some from you.
Not gonna sell you any.
Girl, I see that full clearance.
You got his whole nose wide open.
Hey, girl. Check out my new moves.
Well, I gotta get to class. Y'all have fun.
I'll check you later.
All right, girl. Bye.
Man, aint nobody worried about her.
Look, so what you really think?
I love watching you dance.
Hm-hmm, you know I know what you was over here doing,
you know that, right?
Oh yeah? What's that?
Man, you're turning me on.
Who, me?
Look, when I graduate next year
I wanna perform all over Detroit.
You know, like Prince.
And I wanna take you with me.
You know, like Ike and Tina.
Boy, I can't sing.
Man, neither can I but,
I want us to be together all the time.
I love you.
Stop playing.
Come on now, say it.
I love you too.
Your mom's home?
The last thing you gon' be doing
is running behind some boy who thinks he's Prince.
Besides, your little behind gon' be running after that baby.
No, I'm not, because I'm not having this baby.
Now Rhonda, you need to think about this.
That's my mom's drinking buddy, and my godmother,
Ms. Roberta, who stays in my business.
Ms. Roberta, you need to stay out of this.
Don't you talk to me like that.
I'm not having this baby.
Oh yes you are, young lady.
Now, done laid there, you done made it,
you're gon' have it!
You didn't hear me.
I don't even wanna have a baby.
Now Rhonda, listen baby, I promise you this;
Now, if you have this baby
you know I'm gonna help you take care of it.
We both will.
Isn't there something we can do?
Oh dammit Rhonda, I done tried to be nice about this,
but you're gon' learn the hard way
that your actions have consequences.
Now, you're going to have this baby and that is that!
Goddammit.
I knew I was going to have to have his baby
'cause I was too far along.
Monica, call my mama. Hurry!
Mama, Rodney's crying.
Momma! Come and get this baby.
Momma!
Don't you worry, son.
I'ma make sure you have everything I didn't.
Were you yelling for me?
Yeah. Rodney was crying.
But look, I got him to stop.
Yeah, well maybe now you can start helping out with him,
because between work, the baby, and these bills,
I'm about worn out.
Will you put him down? He's calm now.
And come help me fold these clothes,
you're getting on my last nerve.
After Rodney was born,
Clarence went ghost on us.
I still had a lot of growing to do.
It was tough being a teenager and a mom,
but that didn't stop me from hitting these streets.
That's Melanie. She knew the hoeing game.
Yeah, she was prostituting.
My mom couldn't stand Melanie.
She used to call her a white girl,
just to piss her off.
Girl, you better be quiet before Ms. Tina
come in here and start acting crazy.
Aint nobody thinking about no Ms. Tina, uh-uh.
And of course that's Monica,
she's always been my ears and eyes in the streets.
I swear to God.
You know what?
I didn't let you back in here
so you could stay out all night partying.
Now, get up.
Yes ma'am.
I have to leave for work,
and Rodney needs to be driven to school.
Yes ma'am.
Make sure you put these keys back on the hook
because I can't keep looking everywhere for these things.
Now, get up!
I'm up.
Mommy, I'm ready for school.
Give me 10 minutes Rodney, okay?
Give your mommy 10 minutes.
But if we don't leave now I'm gonna be late.
It'll be okay, baby. All right?
It'll be okay.
Look at this nasty mess and a stank up in here too.
Get your shit and get the hell out.
What is wrong you?
I got pulled off my job to go pick up Rodney,
because the principal called and said,
Rodney drove himself to school.
What? Mama, that is impossible.
What is wrong with you?
Well, that was lie.
I'd known for weeks
that Rodney had been driving his self to school.
Look, I am tired, Rhonda.
Now you come and go as you please at odd hours of the night,
I don't even ask you to do much.
Why do you have to overreact about everything?
Overreacting?
I wash, I cook, I clean, I mother your child,
and all you can do is look for the next party.
Now that boy could have killed himself
or killed someone else driving.
Now, you know what? It is time for you to go.
Now I want you to pack up your shit
and get the hell up out of my house.
Miss Hood, I-
- Goddammit girl ain't nobody talking to you.
Now, you got to the count of 10
to get the hell up out of my house.
Mama please.
One, two, three.
Rhonda, she ain't playing.
Fine! Fine!
Well, I'll get my goddamn gun.
Rhonda, your mother is crazy.
You just can't leave Rodney.
I'm not leaving Rodney,
I just gotta find somewhere for us to go.
You know I've been telling you
your mom is crazy.
You wanna say goodbye to your son?
What?
What do you mean, what?
He needs to be saying goodbye to you
because he's going with me.
That's crazy.
You have lost your ever loving mind.
He's my son.
You're not taking him anywhere. He's staying here.
You can't take her son away from her.
You better not say not one more goddamn word, white girl.
White girl? Ain't nothing white about me.
Oh, I guess you can't hear either.
I can hear old lady.
And like I said, ain't nothing white about me.
Oh, it's like that, huh?
Well, I want you to keep your little skinny ass right there.
Don't do it, Tina.
Get out of the way, Rhonda.
I will blow a cap in your motherfucking ass.
She crazy.
With no money and no real place to call home,
I went to the streets
and they welcomed me with open arms.
Yeah, I did a little bit of prostituting.
I did it enough to start my own whorehouse though.
Now, whatever gets you off we got.
So, which of these lovely ladies
would you like to have fun with?
She's a great choice and I'm flattered,
but I'm working, love.
Any one of these other girls
can take really good care...
Care of you.
I guess I'll be taking overly good care of you.
The streets started to fear me, for a good reason.
Hey babe, what's up?
That's Leroy also known as, Small Time.
Whenever we need little shit done in the streets,
Leroy would do it for free.
Mainly because he got a thing for Melanie.
What's wrong, Mels?
Too big for you?
That's the problem, Leroy, it aint big enough.
I can't believe you just slapped me!
Get your ass out of the car.
Get your punk ass out of the car.
For what?
Get your punk ass out of the car.
You just hit my
Do you know who you're messing with?
I say we teach him a lesson.
What do you say, Chip?
This aint necessary.
Shut up.
I say we kill him.
- No, no killing. - Shut up!
10 grand, easy.
Mel, take his jewelry.
You got it.
Y'all just gon' rob me
and leave me in the middle of the street?
Yeah.
Y'all some dirty bitches.
Dirty bitches?
Dirty bitches?
Dirty...
Who's a bitch now, huh?
Who's a bitch now?
- Don't kill me. - Huh?
Will you just shoot his ass so we could go?
Don't kill me!
Mel, I didn't hit you.
And stop all that crying with your punk ass.
I hurt my nail.
I did it all. I even started defrauding the government.
Dudley?
Got his check, $9,000.
Tabor?
Got his check, $11,000.
Miller.
I don't got a cheque.
What?
I don't have a cheque for her.
You know that's bullshit, right?
Dawn Miller, now you know better
than to play with me, right?
Now get up,
go in your house and get my money.
Mel, go with her!
As you can tell, I'm pretty good at pistol whipping,
that's a good and a bad thing.
The good thing is I save money on bullets,
the bad thing is I keep breaking my damn nails.
We were clearing 30 to 40 checks a day.
Damn, I would look good in this.
You would look naked, you need some colors.
What's it say?
Why-Vez Saint Laren.
Yves Saint Lauren.
That's what I said.
No, it wasn't.
It was.
Monica, what do you think?
You're only going to be able to get in about one titty.
Or you could wear it as a shaw.
Yes you can.
Shaw me then.
What is this? Christian Lacroix, Lacrei.
It's pronounced Christian La Croix dumb ass.
I cannot take you nowhere, put that back.
Whatever, excuse me.
Hello? Ola!
I know that heiffa can hear you.
Yoo-hoo!
Can we get some service over here?
Could you guys turn the volume down a little?
She aint just shush me.
Did she just shush us?
You girls are making the other customers
a little uncomfortable.
We don't care about that.
We would like to get some service here.
And we've been in here longer than that hoe over there.
And I know we damn sure have been in here
longer than that trick over there
and y'all just ran straight to her.
Ma'am, that's Anita Baker.
Ma'am, ma'am, I don't give a damn.
Anita, it's okay.
Ma'am, ma'am, I don't a damn.
And she ain't doing it like us either.
Listen, can you just use your indoor voice?
Indoor voice?
Why are you talking to us like we're some damn children?
No, no, that's not my intention.
It was.
I can't tell, I cannot tell.
What can I help you with?
I would like this.
The Lacroix.
It's Lacroix. Just shut up.
That's very expensive.
Did you ask that?
I didn't ask that.
I didn't ask how much it costs.
Yeah. Well this is imported from France.
Girl, France my ass.
I just saw a dress just like that one
getting boosted off Seven Mile the other day.
You know what? I know you ain't lying.
'Cause I tried to buy one but it was too big.
Uh-uh.
Boosted? I don't understand.
I want that blue St. John's suit right there,
and this little Chanel number right here.
I know that we absolutely don't have your size
in that Chanel dress.
In that case, give me two of them.
Are you sure you want two?
Am I sure?
Wrap in that little paper you have,
and put them in of them pretty little bags, okay?
Oh, and I'll take two of those Carter bracelets.
It's Cartier.
Just so you know, we don't take checks.
She must not know who she talking to.
So, you know, you can take it out of that,
and that, and that.
Do it again.
And that!
Pick that up, pick that up.
Let me get some more stuff then.
We damn near bought out the whole store.
Should I get two of these 'cause they aint got my size?
Why don't you get three
'cause it's them titties.
Stupid white woman, don't know a bitch is creative,
and didn't know my cousin Cookie knew how to sew.
She sewed those dresses together,
and now I'm letting them have it.
Rodney, mama.
Mommy! Mommy!
Hi baby. I missed you.
I missed you too. I'm so glad you made it to my game.
I'm glad I made it to your game too.
Look what mommy got, gifts for you.
What's all this?
Presents, mom.
Rodney, you better start heading to the field.
They're gonna be starting soon.
Mommy, are you gonna watch me play my game?
Of course, I'm gonna watch you play your game.
Now, go on.
That boy don't need no more presents, Rhonda.
Everybody needs presents.
Look, I even got one for you.
I don't need them either.
Mama, I'm out here in the streets
making things happen so I could give Rodney
everything he wants.
You just don't get it.
Ma, stop!
I'm doing the best I can.
Can't you see that?
Let's go grab some seats before they all gone.
Come on, baby.
Mama, I can't stay.
What?
Tell Rodney I love him.
I'm gonna stop by later though.
Here, take these.
Ma! Ma!
Fuck.
Mommy! Mommy!
Where you going?
I was so caught up in the streets,
I had no idea what my absence in my son's life
was doing to him.
The streets was talking about the power
and the money I was getting,
so it wasn't long before the Feds started messing with me.
You all here looking all up inside my house.
I figured you might as well come in
and have a drink with me.
I got red wine.
I got white wine too.
Vodka, you like vodka.
No, you're a rum girl. Beer?
Well, the Feds finally jammed us.
Our fake income tax return hustle got me and Melanie busted.
Yeah, a bunch of rats snitched on us.
When you hear the judge say,
the United States of America versus Delrhonda Hood,
that means the whole country is against you.
Melanie and I just went ahead and pled guilty.
Since we didn't have any priors,
we each got six months probation
and we had to wear these cute ass ankle bracelets.
And can you believe they wanted us to pay back $200,000?
They about to lose their damn minds.
Of course we lied, we said we spent it all. Fuck 'em.

Girl.
Who is that? He look like he getting money.
Girl, that's Slim.
Big drug dealer, big killer. He don't play.
And definitely not with women.
We'll see about that.
What you doing over here?
Enough for you to come over here and find out.
I'm having fun and hustling just like you.
- Hustle? - Hm-hmm.
Whatchu hustling?
Don't worry about what I'm hustling, what you got?
Baby, I got everything.
Typical male response.
Yeah? Well, aint nothing typical about me.
I'm Slim.
They call me Chip.
Chip?
Hm-hmm.
Sounds like you got a set of balls on you
as big as your chest.
I do. You better ask about me.
Well, I did.
Really?
I heard you to do everything big,
that's why I'm over here.
Yeah? Why are you looking at my breasts?
'Cause they big.
Another typical male response.
What are those, like 38? Just out of curiosity, 42?
- No, 50s, why? - 50, damn.
Yes.
50.
Hm-hmm.
I like that.
You like that?
I'ma call you Big Fifty.
I don't give a damn what you call me.
Just call me when you wanna make some money.
Okay. Let's get this money then.
Let's get the money.
All right. So I'ma teach you
this whole thing from the bottom up.
Uh, let's get them gloves going.
What's that for?
For your protection,
so that you don't get affected by the white junk.
Please, okay?
I've been around Heroin before, I'm straight.
No, you've been rough coke before,
you ain't been around heroin,
and heroin aint cocaine.
This is to protect your skin so...
You know what?
I'm not new to the game.
I see you one of them hard-headed people
that like to learn things your way.
So I'm gonna let you do that.
All right, so here's where start.
So I do everything in threes.
We don't really do no crazy cutting in here,
you're just adding that right there.
You throw that in the bag,
shake him up, lock him down.
You got it?
I got it.
Okay, we'll see. I'll be back.
I'm doing some work around.
How you looking?
I got it. I told you I got it.
Hmm?
I got it.
You got it. Okay, I see.
You got a nice little sweat going.
It is hot in here.
It's hot, that's what it is?
You know what, let's stop for a minute.
Why? I did it wrong?
No, you did it right.
Okay.
But you about to OD.
I promise, I did not snort any of this.
No you didn't, but for the last hour
your skin has been absorbing it.
Remember these right here?
Yeah, Slim.
Okay, just put it down.
I'm gon' take you over here to the bathroom.
I really don't like to pay attention
and everybody knows I'm stubborn.
Yeah, I bet you are.
But this goes back to our first lesson.
You gotta listen Big Fifty.
I got it.
Now I got some work in that bag right there,
that's gotta be moved.
Don't come back until it's all gone.
You got that?
I got it.
Scarelli had no idea how quickly I could move the product.
You're having fun, right?
I can tell.
Go ahead, he's all yours.
What up daddy? How you feeling, baby?
Look, it's Big Fifty right here. That's my girl.
Hello, how you doing?
Slim introduced me to all the hustlers and players in town.
Hold on a second, I'll be right back.
Where you going?
I'll be right back.
Hey, Avery, who's that right there?
I don't know, but she bad,
she just not as bad as these girls right here.
You can have them.
That's Rickey, AKA killer man.
He be slanging and banging,
and the future father of my youngest babies.
Please tell me you're single.
And if I'm not?
I guess that means I gotta kill somebody.
Kill somebody?
You are worth it.
Hmm.
Rickey.
Big Fifty.
Slim's girl.
Slim's business associate.
You know, I used to be an associate of Slim's as well.
Hmm.
Maybe we can become associates as well.
So this is business?
I mean, only if you're not interested.
I didn't say that.
Good.
Well, I'll see you around, friend.
Okay, friend.
Look, I don't like that nigga,
and I don't want you messing with that nigga.
Are you jealous or something?
Not at all, but he foul. You trust me on that.
Okay, relax. I just met him, right now.
Sometimes Scarelli can be a little controlling.
Ray, so good to see you.
Nice to see you too.
The pleasure is all mine as always.
This is my friend, Fifty.
Nice to meet you.
I like what you're doing with the place Ms. Watts.
This looks really good.
So what brings you by today?
That's the funniest thing.
I was going through some old things that I'm not using
and I figured the kids could use them.
Oh Ray, you can't.
Listen Ms. Watts, I've outgrown them
and I know the kids can use them.
Thank you, you are godsend.
I've gotta find some place to put all of this.
Garbage bags of money, really?
You got to give back, all right?
♪ If you know you getting money ♪
♪ And you know you understand it ♪
♪ Throw cash or throw bands
♪ And if you're always up to something ♪
♪ Keep your hundreds in bundles ♪
♪ Throw cash or throw bands
You understand what I'm saying though?
Fifty, you gotta hear me on this one, all right?
Respect and fear is everything in this business.
You never issue an idle threat,
and if you're going to shoot, you shoot to kill, all right?
Always remember the five and dime, what's that?
Five steps ahead and 10 steps sideways.
Thank you.
And look, always be aware of your surroundings,
you understand what I'm saying?
And be quick.
Don't spend more than five minutes delivering or receiving.
You get in, you make that transaction
and you get out, all right?
Yes.
And Fifty, your clients are not your friends,
and your friends should never be your clients.
You remember that.
Got you.
Now here's the thing,
we about to take this thing up a level,
I'm gon' take you up to 75 brick.
Okay. You want me to double commerce?
You run the show.
Now you're talking.
I'm so sick of this shit.
Every time I turn around,
she in front of my house, now she's in the club.
I hear you, Fifty.
But listen, you gotta focus on the work.
You let me deal with that.
You don't want no problems with these people.
You can never underestimate
a street bitch like me.
I rented a motel room and set appointments
for each goddamn hour.
I sold solid bricks.
Buyers had to put the money on the table
before they can get the product.
I worked it like a nine to five.
Monica started the timing,
and when they came in every transaction was completed
in under five minutes.
When one power went up, the other went down.
Rickey was working hard to get in these panties.
He would give me flowers, I would take his cash,
and he went out and brought me a beautiful fur.
Hmm. Actually I'm sure he stole it.
But Rickey knew how to capture my heart.
The waitress serving us says,
"That looks just like my fur."
It probably was, this man stole for me.
Now if that ain't love, I don't know what is.
Now, the way you've been moving that product,
is a thing of beauty.
Oh, so you see that?
You know I see, I see everything.
I wanna propose a offer.
We need to take our business relationship to the next...
Hey, Kurt! Kurt, come here.
What's going on my G?
What's up is you shorted my money last week.
Man, that's bullshit. That's impossible.
My money aint never short.
The bag was light,
Man, you bugging.
You short my money.
You don't play with my money.
Dance!
So, I think we should be 50/50 business partners.
Partners?
Partners.
Like half, 50/50?
No, like Slim and Big Fifty.
Hell yeah! You think I'ma say no?
You better not say no. Let's toast to that.
Let's get this money.
As partners.
Hm-hmm.
I got you.
Come clean him up.
Then boom, Rickey and I started having babies.
First my son, Eric, then my baby girl, Deja.
I did Deja's birthday party so big.
You see in Detroit,
little kid parties turn into adult parties.
And they go all day and all night.
Eric, you're not going to eat all of that.
Watch me.
I'll help you eat some of that.
No you aint.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Take a turn over there.
Oh, that's Little Bit, she's one of my homeys.
She has a slight drinking problem.
Okay, it wasn't slight.
Between her record and the bottle,
she's had a hard time finding work.
So I pay her to clean the house and watch the kids.
What are you doing?
Um, I just thought I'd get me something to eat.
No Bit, I'm not paying you to party.
I can't take five minutes to eat?
No, you take a five minute break to eat
every other five minutes.
And you smell like weed.
I do?
Yes you do.
Well, I aint been smoking.
Bit...
Listen, let me just take five minutes,
fix me something to eat and then I'ma go back to work.
Five minutes and then you're gon' get back to work.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's it.
I got you.
Yo listen, I appreciate everything you've done for me.
'Cause girl, if it wasn't for you-
- Lil Bit, stop kissing ass, okay?
My bad.
So annoying.
It's so nice, baby.
It is, right?
Hm-hmm.
I'm just happy.
Uh-uh, baby hold one. Deja.
Hey.
Thank you.
You know he may be more mature
than these other men around here, but he's still a kid.
More importantly, he's my son.
You know it ain't even like that.
You know me.
Yeah, I know you.
That's why I'm being nice and giving you a warning.
You tripping.
No, a warning.
A warning about what?
Rodney, not now. Adults are talking.
Well, great. I'm an adult so what are we talking about?
You are 19. You're a teenager.
So you think I haven't knocked off
some of your friends already?
Little boy, so you're swinging
your wee-wee around everybody, that's what it is?
I'm no boy. I'm a man, mama.
Sometimes I wonder if you even know me. But how could you?
'Cause you were too busy doing you, right?
Dammit Rodney.
Second, Eric?
Yup.
Are you okay?
What happened?
Are you okay? I've just seen you slap Rodney.
Is everything cool?
Yeah.
Mel, look at me.
Look at me.
Are you hooked?
What?
No, I'm just here celebrating my goddaughter's birthday.
That's it, that's all.
Mel, I know you very well.
If you're hooked we need to get you some help.
I'm fine. Really, I'm fine.
I'm okay.
Come to mommy.
Let me talk to you for a second.
Why you come over bringing toys
trying to settle up into my family, bro?
Come on, man. I'm not even thinking about you.
You're still salty about the Auburn deal, right?
You done?
Slim listen, I'm just asking for some respect brother,
that's all man.
Quit popping up over here.
Calling my woman at 2:00 AM in the morning?
Or what?
Or what?
You think you're the only kid around here, Slim?
I know I'm the only kid around here.
Is that what you think?
Yeah, I have half the body you got
You wanna dance?
Yeah, I wanna dance nigga.
- You wanna dance? - That's what I wanna do.
Okay.
I'm gonna put you on a t-shirt.
Yeah? Make sure it's 100% cotton.
You know my name.
Your name going on a T-shirt
if you keep fucking with me nigger.
Excuse me, ma'am. This didn't fit.
Hmm, what about the one in your bag?
Lady, what are you talking about?
So I've been grinding over a decade.
All of a sudden, I got a target on my back.
What do you want to know?
The Feds started popping my crew
on some petty shit to get at me.
That wasn't good.
I'm taking it easy on you.
That was okay.
Don't touch nothing. I'm watching you.
Hello?
Hey. Fifty, it's Avery.
What's going on?
I have a friend that's needs a kilo,
and I told him I knew where to get it.
Rickey and I haven't heard from you in years,
and you calling my phone for something like this?
No, sorry. I can't help you.
Come on, Fifty.
You know Ricky don't mess with me since we fell out.
For me, please.
For old times sake, I really need this.
Fine, meet me tomorrow. The old spot.
Thank you.
Was that Slim?
No, Avery's ass. He want a key.
Avery from my old crew?
Hm-hmm.
He's trying to hustle again
and he's calling you instead of me?
No, he probably into somebody for some money.
And he said you don't mess with him,
and this connect could help him out.
Yes, I don't.
And I don't trust him calling you out the blue
talking about a brick.
I'm coming with you on that, baby.
Baby, he's harmless. Trust me, I'll be fine.
All right. I'ma let you handle it your way.
But I'm telling you, if he's on some BS
I'ma handle it my way.
You know I give a damn about you.
You're gonna come save me?
I aint got no choice. Look at you.
♪ Bring it back like karma
♪ Gotta get that bag
♪ Gotta get that bag
How you doing, man. Good to see you.
Hold up. Who the hell...
No.
Listen, relax. This is my boy, Dade.
I got nothing to say to you.
No, what's the problem? He's cool.
I got nothing to say.
Yo, you gotta step outside.
You gotta step outside for a second, man.
All right, all right.
Let me handle this.
I should blow your motherfucking head off!
Wait a minute. Let me just get this stuff, man.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
It's one kilo, man.
Give me my money.
Okay, damn. Relax.
Yo, let me get that money.
I told you, I got you. You feel me?
Hands in the air!
Hands in the air! Drop it.
Rickey was right again.
That motherfucking Avery got me.
Don't move an inch.
I did 30 fucking months.
When I got out, getting back in these streets
was the last thing on my mind.
You look pale, baby.
I'm okay mama, I'm just tired.
What's that knot on top of your eye?
I don't know, I think it's just a stye.
Well, I think you need to go and get it checked,
along with that cough.
Mama it's nothing. Stop fussing for me, please.
Rhonda please, now you gotta take better care of yourself.
Please, let me take you to the doctor.
Fine mama, we can go.
We can go.
That knot my mom was talking about
turned out to be a disease called sarcoidosis.
What that is? Nevermind, y'all Google it.
I had to have surgery, then I went to my momma's house
and stayed there till I recuperated.
When I got better, there was two things I should have done;
One, I should have told Rickey I was coming home
sooner than he expected.
Two, realize how crazy Lil Bit is.
Joining the party?
What the hell?
Sit your ass down.
Hold on, Bit.
Huh? What are you doing in my face?
- Bit, calm down. - Who the hell are you?
I am calm.
- Let me handle this. - What the fuck?
Bye.
Hello?
The fuck you mean, hello?
Who are you?
Why? Who you are?
It doesn't matter.
Can I ask you, who you here with?
My man. What's with all the questions?
Answer the questions, hoe.
Who you talking to like that?
What you gon' do? Nothing.
Bit, go to the kitchen and get you a beer or something.
Now, who is your man?
Rickey. And this is his house.
So I'ma need you and that gutter trick to leave.
Did she just tell us that she needs us to leave?
Bitch, who do you think you are?
Bitch, get off of me.
Bit, Bit.
What you gon' do?
Bit, come on.
All this putting your hands on me
and stuff is unnecessary.
Bit, I don't feel good.
Let me choke this bitch. Please, let me choke this bitch.
Listen to your friend.
Just come here. Please, come.
Could you relax? I got this, just relax.
I got this.
You better get her.
I got this.
You better get her.
I got this.
Hey, are you ready, ready, or are you ready?
Rickey.
Calm down, girl.
I got something that will calm you down right here.
Look behind you.
Look behind you.
Oh shit, baby.
Baby?
Look, hey listen, this aint what it looks like.
This aint what it-
- This girl, she works for me.
Fifty, Fifty, come on, girl.
Shut up, Rickey! Shut the fuck up.
You didn't know he had a woman?
You didn't see the pictures of me and my children
on the wall, bitch!
When I met him a few months ago, he said he was single.
I aint say that.
She lying.
Yeah, I ain't say that. I ain't say that.
Get out. Get out.
Oh hell no. You're just gonna let her leave like that?
Bit, just let her go.
What you gon' do?
That's crazy babe. You don't trust me?
I'm on my deathbed and this is what you do?
What? I was throwing a party, ain't nothing going on.
I ain't slept with that girl. I don't even know that girl.
Get out of my face
Get out of my face.
That's crazy.
That's crazy?
I thought we was better than that
but you're going to just assume...
It's a party. That's it, baby.
I love you.
Fuck you Rickey!
Heavy parties and cheating on me while I was sick.
I didn't let his begging or his tears get to me.
Yeah, I did.
My dumb ass took him back.
I had no idea what I was in for.
Hey mama, you look a lot better.
Deja, go play baby.
So it takes you two weeks
after your mother gets out of the hospital
for having surgery before you pay her a visit?
I'm sorry mama, I've just been busy.
I can see that.
Guess you decided to ignore my warning.
Rhonda, I didn't plan for any of this to happen.
You didn't plan for it not to happen either.
It's not all on Monica, mama.
The hell it aint.
This is my best friend since grade school
and your ass is barely out of grade school.
No, uh-uh.
Mom, please don't start.
Rhonda, you tripping.
Get out of my way.
I can't. I'm protecting my wife.
Wife? Your wife?
Since when?
Since Mother's Day.
You got married while I was in jail?
Yes, and she's having my baby.
Oh my Lord. I can't.
I guess being like family wasn't good enough for you, huh?
That wasn't enough, right?
I know this is hard for you to believe,
but Rodney and I are in love, Chip.
Love?
I love him.
It's a lust situation. You don't love, you lust.
Ma.
Get out, and take your wife with you, your pregnant wife.
Even though me and Monica had beef behind Rodney,
she was still homegirl.
Girl, the last time I had something like that, I said,
I can't.
Oh my God.
Yo Fifty, I think for real we gotta move
out of this.
Why?
This is where they rob people at
and we're just sitting here.
We're on the east side.
You scared?
Yes I am.
They do be robbing folks over here, Fifty.
Okay, they be robbing folks not Big Fifty, okay?
Can we lock the latches please?
I am good in the hood, okay?
Now, back to our previous discussion.
The neighborhood was a little fucking rough,
but I didn't care, 'cause I run this shit.
That's Lonnie, she's a Detroit police officer
who always gets us the best impounded weed in town.
They good in the hood too.
Let's go, bitch! Give me that jewelry,
give me that money and your purse,
give me that fancy fur!
Roll that window down, what you waiting for?
Let's go right now.
It must be a misunderstanding, ladies.
Y'all have a blessed night.
Don't you go to first Baptist?
Yeah, hallelujah.
Goodnight.
With your crusty mate.
Hey baby.
Hi, you winning?
I got next 'cause we all know what you're doing.
Like, why would you let him play that?
Hello.
Fifty, it's Lonnie, is my husband over there?
Yeah, Bulldog is here. Everything okay?
No listen, DPD is about to raid your house.
Bulldog has my car,
so they called me to find out why a police officer's car
is parked outside of the residence
they're going to bust.
Clear everything out now!
They're about to raid us.
Y'all don't got nothing on you, right?
Y'all don't have nothing, right?
Police, hands up!
On the ground now, on the ground!
Get down! Get down!
It seemed like these motherfuckers
would raid me every other day.
I ain't got nothing, man.
They could never get shit on me,
but they got some shit on Slim, he caught a Fed charge.
You got that vodka for me?
But he put me in charge of his empire,
and I handled that shit.
Hello?
Hello, how may I help you?
Mrs. Watts, I'm Slim...
Ray's friend, Rhonda.
I remember.
Oh, that's good. I brought something for you.
Maybe it can help around here
and it'll keep you
No, no, thank you. We don't need any of this.
I just walked through here and you need it.
It's okay, really. It's for you.
No, I know who you are
and we don't need any of your filthy money.
I don't understand.
You didn't have a problem with it when it was Ray's money.
Because it's Ray. I know him and I know his heart.
Shit, I have a good heart too. I'm here, aint I?
Besides, Ray is the one that taught me everything I know.
Ray is a good man and I highly doubt that he taught you
how to be a whore and a thief.
A whore and a thief?
I'm a woman, a black woman running in a man's game,
doing the exact same thing that Ray was doing.
And the only thing you could see is a whore?
No, go. Take this and get out of here.
You know what? You have a nice day, Mrs. Watts.
Like in real life,
the streets had a double standard when it came to women.
My own sister wouldn't give me any respect.
Now that was dead wrong.
From that point on, I took my respect.
Once I became a boss, I got more time to spend with my kids.
I remember every Saturday morning,
I would take Eric to his favorite spot
to get his favorite pancakes.
Eric.
Yes, mom. I'm going to eat all of this.
You need to slow down.
Yo Drey, how are you going around town
buying new clothes and cars and shit,
and you owe me money, nigger?
Man, go away with that.
I told you, I'ma pay you back.
I need the money now.
You do see I'm eating here, don't you?
Now, I told you I'ma pay you back, when I'm ready, Nick.
When you ready?
Everybody out! Everybody out!
Everybody out now!
When you're ready? You think I'm playing?
I can have your money tomorrow.
Let me call my cousin, man.
I can get you your money, man.
Hey, y'all two, I need y'all out.
You don't need a gun, man.
Come on, baby. Let's go.
Why do we have to leave?
We ain't do nothing to that man.
I know, baby.
Little man, get your pancakes and get them to go.
Listen to your mother, come on.
We haven't done nothing to you.
I know, come on baby.
Eric, let's go.
Take them to go.
Listen man, I can have your money tomorrow, man.
I promise, man.
Calm down, man.
Put the gun down.
I come bearing gifts.
What you got for me?
Slim finally got his ass home from prison.
Open it.
Are you kidding me?
Nope, and there's four more just like that
in the trunk for you.
Fifty, Fifty.
What?
You done really bossed up out here.
Seriously, things have really changed out here, you know?
It's all the same. It's just players.
You got winners and losers.
I'm trying to tell you Slim,
these young bucks, they different.
Loyalty is not even a part of their vocabulary.
They don't respect the game, they don't respect each other,
and they definitely don't respect the OGs.
I'll tell you what, I don't know about nobody else.
My name, my name still means something out in these streets.
Yo, you, what the hell is going on?
Oh Slim. My dude, what's up? Welcome home, man.
Yeah, I'm home.
All right, welcome home.
I remember you, I know you.
You're that boy who brought me that light bag, huh?
I don't remember nothing about it being light.
Well, it don't matter.
I'm sure I taught you a valuable lesson.
Man listen, I ain't trying to take a trip down memory lane
I'm just trying to let you know this my girl,
so show some respect, dawg.
Oh, that's your girl?
Yeah.
Oh my bad.
Well look, how about I send her back to you
when she finished?
Matter of fact, why don't you go to the bar
and grab yourself a couple of drinks.
You think it's a game, nigger.
I'm trying to give you a pass.
You're trying to give me a pass
when I already got one?
Chill out, bro.
Man, don't grab me. Don't grab me.
I'ma see you, nigga.
Hey, OG Slim.
Next time you roll through here,
just know my girl is off limits.
I've got one of those too.
Somebody forgot
to give these two little thugs the memo.
Slim is to be respected.
This was not good.
Slim just wounded them little thugs,
talking about I'm just gonna teach them a lesson and shit.
He violated one of his biggest rules.
If you shoot somebody in these streets, you shoot to kill.
Two weeks later, my heart was broken.
From the Joe Louis Arena
to the palace in Auburn Hills,
it's Action News 13 Detroit, with Chandler Birkins.
Violence is up 18% in the country
and law officials, well they're befuddled as what to do.
And unfortunately, here in the city of Detroit,
we've reached a disturbing milestone.
With the latest news on that,
Coleen Gentry is News 13, Eye In The Sky.
Col, based on what I'm seeing though,
the city does seems to be pretty peaceful at this time.
Yes Chandler, it does seem peaceful
but looks can be deceiving.
Less than three hours ago,
the city of Detroit reached an ugly milestone.
The Detroit Police had reported over 14 shootings
and 11 homicides over a four hour period,
making it the deadliest night and the city's history.
The police have confirmed a few identities of the victims.
The most notable victim was Raymond Scarelli Johnson,
also known as Slim,
one of Detroit's notorious drug kingpins
Mr. Johnson was gunned down
on the corner of Ford and Six Mile around 11:00 PM.
His assailant, or assailants, are still at large.
So yes, it does seem like things have calmed down a bit
but law enforcement officials
are concerned about the huge uptake of acts of violence,
actually, since the riots of 1967.
Coleen Gentry, with News 13, Eye In The Sky.
Back to you, Chandler.
Thanks Cole.
So as Coleen noted, Raymond Scarelli Johnson
has alluded prosecution for years.
According to police reports over the last decade,
it has been speculated that Mr. Johnson
was solely responsible for trafficking
over 40% of the contraband on the streets of Detroit.
Mr. Johnson's long history of criminality
has come to an end.
Them two little thugs shot and killed Slim.
That was real fucked up, and things got even worse.
Hold on.
Hey mama.
What's wrong? What's wrong?
I filed a divorce from Monica this morning.
Really? Why?
Just a number of things.
Let me get guess, she was screwing everybody?
Ma, come on. Not right now.
That's not right.
What? She was a whore, Rodney.
Come on, please. Not right now.
All right. I'm happy.
She got popped.
Damn.
And I think the Feds have been on her,
they might want her to snitch.
Uh-uh, that bitch aint crazy.
I haven't quite put my finger on it yet,
and I know the Feds wouldn't be on me this hard
if somebody wasn't talking.
But not Monica, she's a hoe, not a snitch.
You put your hands on me,
now you're throwing my clothes outside?
Rickey tried to come around to see the kids.
That was his excuse
You're throwing my shit out?
Go back to your mama, nigger!
As much as I loved Rickey, enough is enough.
His cheating ass had to go.
Niggers didn't like the way I was living.
Jealousy, I suppose.
They were constantly trying a bitch.
You looking for something motherfucker!
Since Slim was gone,
everybody though they could come for a sister.
I'm in a house with my fucking babies,
I will kill you niggas!
No, she wouldn't. Just ask mom.
And I will.
Ask mama what?
Okay, what's going on?
Some kids at school told Eric-
- Mama, they're saying you hurt your own people,
like with drugs and stuff.
You think I hurt people?
Not me. You're always nice to everybody,
giving away clothes and money.
I've just always made up different jobs for you,
like a flight attendant, nurse, a music teacher.
I don't know.
Everybody knows mom works at the post office
because she always has to deliver 'packages', right mom?
Deja don't do that. Don't do that.
I want you both to listen to me very carefully, okay?
I do what I have to do to take care of my kids,
to put a roof over their head, clothes on their back,
and food on the table.
Do you understand?
- Yes ma'am. - Yes ma'am.
What I don't do is talk business with my kids.
But so you know, the only time I would hurt anyone
is if I'm protecting you kids.
We know, mama.
Since we talking about it, since Slim passed,
I've been thinking if anything was to ever happen to me-
- Mom, no. I'm not trying-
- Listen, Eric.
I want you both to know that I stashed away some money
for all of you, including Rodney.
It's enough there to cover my funeral when the time comes,
and keep you all comfortable for awhile.
I'm not saying I'm going to die today,
but I will eventually.
And when the time comes, I want you guys to be prepared.
But I plan on being here for a very long time.
My plan and God's plan though, it aint the same, okay?
So you go to bed, it's getting late.
Good night, Eric and Deja.
Bit, get that trash out of my bathroom too.
And put that out before you go downstairs.
I do not need the kids smelling that.
Yeah, I was off the clock five minutes and 32 seconds ago.
The trash can was full five minutes and 33 seconds ago.
Thank you.
You getting on my nerves.
I know. Get on that trash.
Deja, don't open that door!
Delrhonda Hood,
we have a warrant for your arrest.
Get on the floor! Get on the floor!
Wait a minute, hold on.
I'm just the housekeeper I don't got nothing to do with this
Can you believe my homie just act like she didn't know me?
I gave Little Bit ass a pass because she'd been smoking,
plus I didn't want her to go down for something I'd done.
I definitely don't want my kids affected by my dirt.
Can we search your home?
No, you have a warrant for my arrest.
Not a search warrant, and I'm giving you me.
Well, if you sign this piece of paper,
it'll give us permission to search your home.
Why the would I-
- Then we'll be out.
Hell no! I'm not doing that.
Go, go, go! Move!
You're just gonna search my house anyway?
You just had to make it hard.
There's no drugs in here!
There's no drugs in here!
Thank you for keeping my kids out of this.
No problem.
Let me just reiterate what I was saying.
I'm just the housekeeper, okay?
I just keep her kids sometimes.
I don't even know her government name,
I don't live here.
Hey, matter of fact, I'm done for the day,
and all I wanted was my motherfucking bill.
Sit down.
Do you have any firearms on you?
No.
Do you have any firearms in the house?
No.
Is there anyone else in the house?
No.
Damn, I'm trying to walk up the fucking stairs man.
Y'all all right?
We good.
Hello, Rodney.
Drugs, strike one.
Supplying your son
and teaching him the family business, I see.
She aint even know about those, those belong to me.
Rodney, be quiet.
Yeah, all right.
Oh, who's pistol is this?
How much does it carry?
Two to five.
It's mines.
Ma.
It's mines.
Woo! Okay.
Who's semiautomatic is this?
How much does it carry?
25 to life.
Oh, that shit ain't mine.
Y'all planted that. That's not mines.
What the fuck is funny?
That ain't mine.
Rodney was charged and released. He got probation.
But them motherfuckers had other plans for Big Fifty.
Now Fifty, I need you to take a minute,
gather your thoughts and examine these photos.
Now how many people on this board might you happen to know?
Let me see.
I don't know any of them.
You don't know any of them?
No.
So you don't even recognize yourself.
I've never seen that lady a day in my life.
We know you're lying. You know how?
It's phone your records,
it has every one of their names on it.
So you wanna try this again?
I told you, I don't know any of those people.
You know you're facing a gun charge, right?
Hm-hmm.
That'll give you both federal and state prison numbers.
See the state, it's not sweet
like the little cushy spot you had over in West Virginia.
Nah, state hard, tough.
Now I can make it real sweet for you
and send you to camp cushy for five years,
instead of a hard two in state.
I'll give you my word on that.
Your word?
But you gotta give us what we want,
and we'll give you what you want.
I want a nail file.
You have a nail file? No?
I don't understand why you protecting
these niggers on this board.
How the fuck do you think we got you?
You're such a cute little piggy.
I'll tell you what,
I'm gonna exercise my right to remain silent.
Aren't I entitled to speak to my attorney or something?
You're so fucking stupid.
Have it your way.
But I was no snitch.
But if I had to do this shit over again,
I would've taken five years in federal
because state prison ain't no damn joke.
What you looking at?
That little right there is Big Lucy.
There aint nothing big about her damn mouth.
What you looking at big titty Fifty.
Big Lucy, I'll beat your little ass.
I'll beat your ass, I'll beat her ass,
I'll beat your little big friend ass right there.
I'm not the one.
No, let's go.
You may have all these other bitches in here scared,
but I'm not the fucking one.
I'm gonna beat your black ass like you deserve it.
I'll have you and all your holes on a stroller.
Let's move it along
before one of you ends up in the dungeon.
That bitch kept trying me every day.
She kept trying since I got here.
I'm just trying to do my time peacefully
and get the fuck up outta here.
Of course that's easier said than done.
Let's see how much mouth you got now, bitch.
I had to fight that bitch Lucy and her crew
almost every day until they threw me a solitary.
It took the doctors weeks to figure out
how to deal with my sarcoidosis.
I stopped eating, I stopped taking my medication.
I guess I was depressed.
I never ever read one word in the Bible.
I never had time.
We didn't take Sundays off from hustling to attend church.
I guess I was bored.
So I decided just to open it up,
thinking maybe I would receive
some kind of divine intervention.
Hebrews 10:26, "For if we sin deliberately
after receiving the knowledge of the truth.
There no longer remains a sacrifice for sins."
Okay, that was a little scary.
"Do not be deceived, bad company ruins good morals."
I'm so glad I was bored.
I realized now I wasn't bored at all.
It was God, he knew the exact words to send to me.
♪ Take my hand
♪ Lift me up
♪ Help me stand
Forgive me for my sins.
If you can let me live to see my children
and my grandchildren, to see them grow up.
I promise God, I will leave the streets.
I will walk away. I will not look back, God, please.
Just forgive me and let me live. I need more time.
I need more time, God please.
Please, I beg you.
I beg you, God.
With all that praying, God must've listened to me.
I managed to finish serving my time
without dying from sarcoidosis.
Needless to say, I was happy to be out and back home.
You know in some ways I can't help but blame myself
for you ending up behind bars.
Mom, I'm a grown woman. I made my own choices.
That's not what I mean.
You were always such a happy child.
Your smile, my beautiful little chocolate chip.
I should have known something was wrong
when that smile went away.
Mom?
I mean, you just became so angry.
And you had such a rage about you
and a mother should have known.
I am sorry I wasn't there to protect you.
Baby, can you ever forgive me, please?
I forgive you.
I'm sorry too.
I love you.
I brought you a homemade pie.
Thank you.
Are they here yet?
Monica is running late.
She's bringing the kids in about an hour.
Aw, thank you for letting me spend some time
with my grand babies.
Grandma around?
She's downstairs taking a nap before the kids come.
Well, I'll keep it down.
And I also want to let you know,
I know you're starting over but I'm so proud of you.
Are you?
Of course I am.
I don't believe that.
What?
Mama, you're talking to the same kid you wanted to abort.
I was 15 years old. I was a kid myself.
Having a kid, it didn't even make sense to me.
But I had you and I loved you from the moment you got here,
the moment you got here.
Mama, I bet you didn't know
that I was a really good baseball player.
You wouldn't know because you never came to any of my games.
That is not true.
Ma, come on.
I had to make money to take care of you.
So yeah, I couldn't come to all your games and work too,
but that did not, that did not mean I didn't love you.
You didn't know how to love me.
This is crazy.
You think that you can purchase love?
Like I'm one of your patrons or something?
Ma, you spent zero time with me.
I'm just glad that Eric and Deja
didn't have to go through what I went through.
Wow. You never wanted for anything.
It was not about materialistic things.
I'm grateful I had them,
but none of those things was what I really wanted.
All I wanted was...
See, to this day. I know why I don't sleep at night.
Probably 'cause some of the foul shit I've done.
I've been tempted many times to hit the streets.
300,000 easy.
The streets kept saying,
Let's go get this money.
Stop the car.
I couldn't go back,
there is nothing more important in life
than the love of your family.
Unlike the streets,
family love is unconditional and forgiving.
You young ladies need to realize
what you do today stays with you forever.
There's gonna be times where you're depressed and angry,
you gotta do something constructive
so you don't end up in prison like me.
To this day, I haven't been able to apologize to Lori
for what I'd done to her.
The good thing is no matter how many mistakes you made,
you can always start your life over again.
Despite tough times,
Fifty's children are thriving.
I like to tell my story
because I could have got killed.
When I think about all the things I've done,
it makes it hard for me to sleep.
Sometimes I ask myself like, God,
is it because all the things I've done,
you know, I just still feel eerie.
As long as I'm on this earth,
I wanna make sure none of these young ladies
fall in the traps of the streets like I did.
I survived the streets of Detroit,
but not everyone was as lucky as me.
But I kind of made it to Hollywood after all.
I got to tell my story on TV, I got my weekly podcast,
but I'm just getting started.
I give all glory and praises to God.
I want you babies to keep dreaming big, you got this.
I wanna thank you for tuning in with your girl, Big Fifty,
keeping it 100, because that's all I do.
I highly doubt that he taught you
how to be a hoe and a thief.
What you looking at big titty Fifty?
