Think you could get me
in touch with Jamal?

Lynae's brother?

Yeah, I want to surprise
her for Christmas.

Let me see what I can do.

Sorry, Lynae. Jamal's locked
up, awaiting a murder trial.

The next time you want
to buy your ex a car,

can you talk to me first?

It's my money!

- Where are you going?
- Out.

So now what you have to do is
get her whatever she wants.

- I ain't made of money.
- But I am.

Uh, Dev, can you keep
it down a little bit?

I'm trying to teach the young
men here how to smoke a cigar.

I ain't chewing that loud, bro.

What?

Dramatic music

Congratulations,
new city councilman.

- Thank you, man.
- Congratulations.

Now you got a job to do.

Yes, I do.

But you know I can't
do it without you.

Will you be my chief of staff?

- You're lucky I like you.
- My G.

- Councilman.
- My G, my G.

Cheers!

So...

you and Papa really over?

Dramatic hip-hop music

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

- You ready?
- Damn right.

- What's the mission?
- Got a lot of 'em.

Hey, now, that's not
an acceptable answer.

It's my first day.

Doesn't matter.

Where there's no vision,
the people perish.

Don't-don't throw
the good book at me.

I'm just glad that you
know the reference.

Look, you and I can set a time
to discuss it later, okay?

How much later?

Man, can I get in
my office, please?

Your first meeting's already

in there waiting for you.

W-what meeting?

He said you were expecting him.

I-I'm not expecting nobody.

- How'd you get in here?
- I asked around.

You ain't too hard to find.

That's scary.

I don't mean you any harm.

I no longer use violence
as a means to an end.

Since when?

Since I handed my
life over to God.

You know, I watched you
kill a man with my own eyes.

And I did my time for that.

Hmm, apparently not enough.

How'd you get out so fast?

They tampered with the evidence,

threw my case out.

Still don't make shit right.

You don't think I know that?

So what now?

Now I need to start over.

It's not that easy.

I know that.

But I also know...

Heaven is full of
imperfect people.

I'm not who I was.

I need to reacquaint myself

with a lot of
people from my past

so they can meet
the man I am today.

It has to start with my sister.

And I know you
know where she at.

I do.

Then can you help me?

Look, man, you right.

I can't just come in here
demanding shit of you.

But I know you
know what it's like

to be more of a father

than an older brother
to your sibling.

I need this, man.

Give me some time.

You want to talk about what
happened the other night or no?

There's nothing to talk about.

What you mean?

You do that shit
again, and we're done.

Damn.

- It's like that?
- Yes.

I'm not gonna be with somebody
who can just walk out on me

and not think twice about it.

- I didn't walk out on you.
- You were gone for three hours.

I didn't know where you were.

And when you came back,
you smelled like smoke.

I just went for a
walk. That's it.

Don't lie to me.

I saw you on Nuck's Insta story.

I don't even know why you
still follow that nigga.

Don't try to change the subject.

If we're gonna be
in a relationship,

- you need to commit.
- I am committed.

We live together,
paying for bills.

I don't cheat.

You don't get brownie
points for that, Emmett.

Wow. Okay.

This is what it means
to be in a relationship.

So no fucking, just fighting.

- Got it.
- Communication and sacrifice.

I just miss when we used
to have fun all the time.

I'm your woman,

not an amusement park.

All right.

All right, fine.

I'll never walk
out on you again.

You better not.

I'm sorry.

Apology accepted.

- You lucky I love you.
- I know.

So when we gonna find
this new, big place?

You really want
to move right now?

Yeah, I'm tired of living
on top of each other.

Look, we only deal with
that on the weekends

when I got all my kids, Kiesha.

And you used to share
this place with Tiffany.

- We just-we need our own spot.
- Can't just redecorate?

All right.

I'll find us a bigger place.

Douda want me to meet
with this realtor anyway.

- We don't need him.
- Yes, we do, all right?

He know about this
stuff. We don't.

Can you let the man
help us out? Damn.

Fine, just no big
decisions without me.

- Please?
- All right.

I'll text you every two seconds.

You're not funny.

Damn, Dante.

You cheating on me now?

Look, I know your
ass ain't talking.

Nigga, stop playing with me.

Who the fuck is this?

Easy, queen.

I'm Cairo, your local weed
grower and connoisseur.

Well, I'm his plug.
You can leave now.

I think there's plenty
of room for all of us.

Well, I don't.

Dante, call me when he gone.

Come on, now,
don't be like that.

Look, come sit down,
try his product.

I only smoke my own shit.

Where you get it from?

Some comes from Cali,
and the rest I can't say.

What's up?

Who grows it?

Nigga, I don't know.

Therein lies the problem.

Excuse me?

Tiff, don't be like that.

This nigga's shit
is different, okay?

Look, I can't lie...

His weed does smoke
better than yours, baby.

Lies you tell.

Is that right?

- You can try it if you want to.
- I'm good.

Suit yourself.

So who grows your weed?

I do.

How much you growing?

Just enough to
satisfy my clientele.

So not a lot?

I believe in quality...

over quantity.

Damn, that's good.

Told your ass. That
shit different.

I'm surprised I'm not
coughing up a lung.

Yeah, you see, the streets
got niggas thinking

we supposed to
choke when we smoke.

We not.

Good weed smokes smooth
and goes down easy.

This is nice.

It's like melted
butter on crab legs

or a low vibrational
plate while you watch

the newest episode of
your favorite TV show.

It's like having sex with
a nigga you can't stand

but know how to
fuck you just right.

Shit. I got to take this.

Y'all enjoy that ride, though.

Yo...

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

I see his flower got that power.

It does.

Damn, this nigga about to
put me out of business.

Nah, you good.

He's still pretty exclusive.

And, look, most niggas don't
care what they smoking.

They just want to get high

and forget they
problems, you know?

But niggas should care
about what they smoking.

Well, niggas should do a lot
of things that they don't do.

If I was you, I would
cheat on me, too.

Is that right?

Look, if I can be honest,

I smoke his weed exclusively.

I buy from you so I can just
see your pretty face, you know?

Don't do me no favors.

And my man ain't going nowhere.

I see. I see.

We had a good run, though.

Yes, we did.

You ever need anything,
you call Dante.

Okay, baby?

What are you doing?

Ah, well, you know, I
just got to thinking...

I mean, I don't need
nobody's permission

to open up my
throwback business,

so I might as well just get
this shit started on my own.

Wh... Yeah, I don't
know if our front porch

is the-the place to start.

Yeah, I feel you, but, hey,
got to start somewhere.

Oh, ye-yeah, that's true. Um...

And, look...

I know this looks crazy, but,
I mean, so does everybody

when they first
starting they business.

I mean, look at Emmett, right?

He now owns the restaurant

that he used to
sweep the floors for.

Yeah, I-I could loan you
some money to get started.

Nah, you've done enough already.

I need to do this
on my own, babe.

Look, you know, I-I know
you want to be a man,

but it's okay to let your
woman help you out sometimes.

Not with this.

Yeah, well, starting a
business takes a lot of...

a lot of planning,
a support system.

I know, but I ain't
got the funds right now

to be hiring folks,
so it's just me.

Who's gonna buy this stuff?

You'd be surprised.

How much for the two-way?

Well, uh... that's
100 right there,

but, uh, for you, Joe,

throw that shit
in for a cool 50.

I'll give you 20 bucks.

Ah, come on, man, that shit
is in great shape, man.

Plus, you ain't gonna
find that nowhere else.

Who am I gonna two-way with?

Oh, yeah, I ain't
think about that shit.

Never mind.

Ah, man.

For real?

Lame-ass nigga.

Fucking goofy.

You need to lower your prices.

Shit, if I lower 'em any more,

I might as well give my
shit away for free, then.

Wh-what, I'm sorry,
this is your stuff?

Well, I ain't got the funds

to do the vintage shopping
hunting yet, so...

So you want me to just sit by
and wait for this to work out?

I... Listen, listen...

I need you to believe in me.

I do.

You do?

- You sure you do?
- Yeah.

Mm.

Thank you.

All right. I'll
leave you to it.

All right, go on inside.

- Okay, all right.
- Stay warm.

- I got this.
- Okay.

Mm.

What you think of this?

It looks cheap.

'Cause it is.

You cannot be out here
wearing no cheap shit.

Until you start
making me some money,

I think I can.

Girl, a manager's job is
not to make an artist rich.

I told you, this is
not how this works.

Mm-hmm, but I've been
rapping my ass off,

and I'm still broke.

Mm-mm.

Look, you just need another song

that the kids gonna fuck with.

Tricks are for kids, not me.

Okay, well, the
kids are the ones

streaming your shit, so...

Jemma, I can actually rap.

I'm not chasing no trends.

Ain't nothing wrong
with being trendy.

Oh, Sasha.

- You Maisha, right?
- Yes, she is.

And I'm her manager, Jemma.

- It's nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, too.

Your song stay popping up
on my Explore and shit.

I fuck with it. It catchy.

Thank you.

Well, where the new music at?

One song ain't gonna
feed you forever.

I agree.

I hear that.

Your flow is cool.

It ain't dope, but it's cool.

Still working my way up.

Yeah.

Look, my opening act
just got locked up,

so I need somebody to
entertain the crowd

for, like, 15 minutes.

- You think you can do it?
- She can do ten.

- Only ten?
- I can do 15.

Uh, she can do it,
but let's just have

the band warm up
the crowd first.

- Okay, that's cool.
- All right.

Um, let's exchange
contact information,

and we can discuss
the logistics.

Bet.

- Hit me up.
- All right.

- Nice meeting you.
- Nice meeting you, too.

- Keep it up.
- Thank you.

Uh, okay.

It's a lot of people.

Why you tell her
I couldn't do 15?

Because your ass
only got one song.

So the fuck what? I
can stretch it out.

Maisha.

Look, this is a really
good opportunity for you,

and I don't want you
looking like you don't have

enough songs to
fill up the time.

- I don't.
- Okay.

But they don't
need to know that.

Okay. Just don't
cut me off again.

If I didn't, then you
would have been out there

looking crazy after you
finish your two-minute song.

And what you think
I'm supposed to do

- with the other eight minutes?
- I don't know.

Write some new shit or just
freestyle over a familiar beat.

Look, it's my job to make sure

that you not out
there looking crazy.

Great.

Now I just need you to make it
your job to get me some money.

That's what I'm working on.

Good, 'cause I'm tired of
wearing this cheap shit.

Can I work?

Look, I know you think
Douda cool and all,

but just 'cause a motherfucker
got a few Cadillacs

don't mean that he
know shit about life.

Don't be jealous, Pop.

Boy, please.

I used to have cars,
clothes, hos, too.

But all that don't mean
shit if you ain't got

a good woman waiting for
you when you get home.

Yeah, I got that, too.

Yeah, well, I heard it
was trouble in paradise.

Where you hear that?

Your mama told me that you
bought Tiff that new Altima.

Women talk so damn much.

Yeah, well, that's what they do.

Yeah, we-we figuring
it out, though.

All I know is, if you
lay down with the Devil,

you gonna have fleas.

That's not how it goes.

Boy, you know what
I'm talking about.

I do.

- And I love you.
- Hey.

But I got to go. I got
to go look at a house.

Boy, you can't afford no house.

How you know?

I'll tell you what...

Let me come on down there
with you and make sure

they ain't trying to scam
you or nothing like that.

Nah, nah, Douda
gonna meet me there.

I-I'll hit you later, all right?

Love you.

All right, love you, too.

All right, I'll call you after.

And that ain't good.

He's gonna fuck around and
put us out of business.

Or...

we can make him
our new supplier.

Then we could finally get
away from Douda's crazy ass.

Man, fuck.

What?

Me and Doud just did a deal.

What kind of deal?

He gonna give us
more off the top.

How much more?

15%.

My own uncle ain't give
me a deal like that.

Fuck.

And Doud like to kill
niggas for sport.

I ain't even trying to
see that nigga bad side.

I just want to talk to Cairo.

That's it.

Who?

The nigga weed you smoking.

You can talk to him.

Just don't agree to
nothing before we talk.

A'ight.

I got to call Dante to
get his number first.

Dante?

Yeah.

But don't worry... I don't fuck
with him like that no more.

You better not.

Matter of fact...

I'ma come with you.

I can go by myself.

We going together.

Man, I ain't trying to be

I'll even let your
sorry ass catch up.

Man...

Yep.

- Who you texting?
- Jemma.

Man, stop playing with me.

I'm fucking with you, man.

Oh, yeah, you, uh...

you think you could, uh,
wear one of my shirts

- at your next tournament?
- Yeah.

- That'll be a rack, though.
- Man, I ain't paying you shit.

I'm still fucking
with you, dude.

Man, a'ight.

I got you, bro. Come on.

Look, I know you got your
own crib and all that now,

but don't get to thinking
you the shit now.

Talking about I
got to pay you...

Nah, nah, nah.

You think I'm the shit,
and that's why you mad.

Admit it.

- Yeah, whatever.
- A'ight.

This house has great
bones, as you can see.

It's old, but it's
not a fixer-upper.

Even though they're asking
for a lot of money up front,

at least you know you
don't have to fix the roof

a year from now.

Tss. Man, Kiesha
would like that.

A lot of your neighbors
are Black entrepreneurs

just like yourself.

I'm a big, big believer

in Black folks buying
in Black neighborhoods.

Moving in white
communities ain't the move.

You know what?

It's Deondray here who
roped me into buying

a place not too far from
here about a year ago.

It's a great investment,

not just for your family
but for the community.

- That's dope.
- Mm.

It's a little far
from Smokey's, though.

Yeah, it is, but you know what?

Maybe it's time that we, um,

put a location out
here on the West Side.

You don't think we
should slow down?

Hey, man, don't be afraid
of your future, Emmett.

Oh, I don't want to bite
off more than I can chew.

I believe you can handle it.

How much is the down payment?

They want 20% of asking price.

Asking price is a lot.

Hey, so, listen, just put
down whatever you can,

and, um...

I'll cover the difference.

I got to talk to my lady first.

Emmett, when somebody offers
you a gift, you should take it.

Look, she said she wanted
a bigger place, right?

Right.

Then get the fucking house.

Can I see some paperwork first?

- Oh.
- Before I do that...

you should bring your lady by

so she can at
least see it first.

If y'all both like it,
then we can talk numbers.

Ah, thank you.

I just know my
fiancé would be mad

if I tried to buy a house
without talking to them first.

Well, listen, back in the day,

when you bought a woman
a house, she'd be happy.

Let's try to live
in the present day.

Okay. Y'all can be
simps if you want to.

Hey, appreciate it, brother.

I look forward to
getting y'all in here.

Thank you.

Shit.

And we work with Pastor Jackson

to help provide services
for his members in need.

Uh, sometimes it's, uh,

wellness check-ins,
home repairs.

- Sometimes it's food drops.
- Yeah.

Wherever I can help, I'm down.

Yeah, well, I'm glad
you showed up, man.

Idle hands are the
Devil's workshop.

I'm gonna need to stay busy
if I'ma stay out of jail.

Yeah, well, I'm sure Ms. Tracy
could use the extra manpower.

Tracy what, now?

Hey.

Hi.

I appreciate everything
you've done for my sister.

Of course. That's
what we're here for.

It's amazing what you
do for the city, too.

Thank you.

Uh, Tracy, he's got a
lot of time on his hands,

so I was telling him that
you could use some help.

I've turned a new leaf.

I'm not looking for any trouble.

Same.

Look, I'm headed out,

but maybe we can talk
about this tomorrow?

Can I walk you to your car?

No, I'm good.

Thank you, though.

Y'all have a good day.

Bye.

Y'all need to get off
that damn social media.

It ain't nothing but the devil.

That's all they do,

is sit and watch videos
on they phone all day.

I ain't never seen neither one
of y'all crack open a Bible

and read not one single verse.

I got the Bible app.

Oh, when's the last
time you opened it up?

Yesterday.

Oh, I know you not laughing.

I been seeing you running
around with Otis and his crew.

All money ain't good money.

Amen.

Hey, how about
you shut up, Papa?

I make a honest living.

Yeah, and you can keep
your honest $7.50 a hour,

'cause I don't want it.

Don't make fun of
his little paycheck.

He came at me first.

Both of you all
need to be worried

about your futures and keeping
your nose in the good book.

But you ain't always done
what the good book says.

What, you challenging me, boy?

I mean, somebody's got to.

Stanley Jackson Junior,

have you lost the good
sense God gave you?

I'm not one of those
new-age parents.

I'll take this
belt off right now.

I wasn't trying to
be disrespectful.

I just want to
practice what I preach.

And what is that?

Sometimes you got
to call people out,

even if those people
are your parents.

The only person who can call
out your parents is God.

The Bible says, "A
child will lead them."

You ain't the child the
Bible was talking about.

Um...

well, I think I'm
gonna excuse myself.

No, no.

You a part of this family,
too. You stay right there.

I have to lead by example.

I want you boys to
do what's right,

not what's convenient.

Look, I've done some
convenient things in my life,

and I've had to pay for that.

But thank God I have a
forgiving congregation.

I'm just hoping that...

I have forgiving sons, too.

A saint ain't
nothing but a sinner

that fell down and
got back up again.

Praise God.

Amen.

And she'll also need car
service to and from the event

and security at the entrance
and at all of the exits.

Okay, yes, I understand that,
but these are nonnegotiable.

Oh, and we'll need a graphic
to put out on her socials

to let her fans know that
she'll be at the event.

And she'll need some space
in the back to sell merch.

Okay, so her rider includes

a party-size bag
of Flaming Hots,

chilled grape pop,
Sour Patch Kids,

and some incense.

Mm-hmm.

Okay, got it.

Mm...

I mean, he did seem different.

Just because he found God

does not mean he's different.

I mean, I'm not
saying he's perfect,

but he did volunteer at ROCK.

That's-that's got to
count for something.

All right, you seem nervous.

I don't want to stick
my neck out for him

just to be disappointed again.

Okay, he needs to
talk to somebody.

I know. One step at a time.

If we don't start taking
our mental health seriously,

then we're never
gonna move forward.

What if that's my mission?

What?

Well, Quincy was saying

that, uh, I need
something to focus on,

a social issue I could
really get behind.

I know a lot of dudes who have
been in and out of the system.

- Mm-hmm.
- Maybe I could focus on...

Black men and our mental health.

Mm, what about the rest of us?

Well, yeah, eventually.

But if we don't have
our shit together,

everybody suffers.

We can't lead if we're
not of sound mind.

Why do men always have
to be the ones leading?

We don't.

But it's hard for us
to lean on others.

I know that's something we
need to all be better about.

Yeah, well...

it's gonna take some time.

I know. Wish me luck?

I see you running around
with Douda now, huh?

It's temporary.

That's what we all say.

What's up with
your vintage store?

I'm still working on it. Just...

I didn't know it'd
take that much money

to open a business.

You need some work, I got you.

Nah, I don't need
that kind of work.

Shaad, come on, all you
got to do is be careful.

That's it.

You playing with fire, shorty.

Don't you know that?

I used to play with
fire till I got lo...

Until I got locked up...

and had to watch
my life pass me by.

I'm always here if
you change your mind.

Normally, I would say no.

But I think this is
Lynae's decision.

Yeah, I just don't want anyone
coming in and out of her life.

That could be traumatizing.

I agree.

You think he's really gonna
stick around this time?

I can't promise anything, but...

I think he's changed.

If he messes up again,

that's it.

We're not going
through this again.

I want to see him.

You want us to be
with you when you do?

No. I'll be okay.

Where are you racing off to?

- Home.
- Okay.

But why are you in a rush?

Oh, I'm just not
trying to miss my bus.

It's colder than
a mug out there.

I could give you a ride.

- For real?
- Yeah.

You know, when I asked what
music you wanted to listen to,

I never thought you would
have said Anita Baker.

My dad won't let me listen
to secular music at home,

but she's the one
exception to the rule.

Mm. My dad's the same way.

He calls it "music
for Jezebels."

Yeah, that preacher's-kid
life ain't no joke.

- I know all about it.
- I ain't know you was a PK.

Through and through.

My middle name is Corinthians.

- Where your dad preach at?
- Church of God and Prosperity.

Oh, shit.

You talking about that big-ass
church on the North side

- where you got to pay to park?
- That's the one.

My dad isn't the biggest fan
of your father's ministry.

I know.

But I did sneak and listen
to one of his sermons

when my dad was out of town.

- What'd you think?
- I thought it was good.

I like the idea that if
we come from the Kingdom,

we deserve to live
a kingdom lifestyle.

And that includes the
cars, designer clothes,

and houses with not one, but...

Three-car garages.

I love that sermon.

He also said that if God
made us in His image,

then we, too, are
gods, in our own way.

And that if we can learn to
see the God in ourselves,

then we should also
see the God in others.

I think of it more like,
we're all God's children

so I shouldn't judge my
brothers and sisters,

and they should never judge me.

So you saying you
see me as a brother?

No.

Not at all.

Good, 'cause I ain't
trying to be your brother.

What you trying to be?

Somebody you can...

trust and count
on, no matter what.

Well, this is me.

So when do you turn 18, again?

This summer.

- Thanks for the ride.
- No problem.

Bye.

♪ Don't leave me out ♪

♪ In the cold ♪

♪ Just love me body ♪

♪ And soul ♪

I missed you, Nae.

I missed you, too.

So how you been?

Things have been so hectic.

But better now.

I've been praying a lot.

Since when do you pray?

Since I got locked up.

So you, like, saved now?

Not yet, not quite, but...

working on it.

You growing up on me, man.

You applying for colleges
and everything, ain't you?

Yeah, but I don't want to
go out of state, though.

You're gonna be the first in
our family to go to college.

No pressure.

You got a boyfriend?

Kind of.

- What that mean?
- You know what it means.

No, I don't know
what it mean, shit.

You better not be giving your
body to no nigga... I know that.

I'll be 18 soon.

That don't mean shit.

Don't be weak to the flesh.

I don't need you to big
brother me right now.

You gonna always need
me to big brother you.

- He a street nigga?
- Not like you.

Please just be careful
with street niggas.

Loving us can leave
you heartbroken.

Trust me, I know.

What are you doing in
the house of the Lord?

We are in need of a prayer.

Well, I can pray
for y'all from afar.

You know, we, um...

we brought a donation.

Well, the last time I
took a donation from you,

I got arrested for
money laundering.

Well, that's because you
didn't follow my instructions.

No, one of your boys got caught
and threw me under the bus.

Yeah, and that boy...

he doesn't work for me anymore.

You know, I'm getting
real tired of you luring

our young men into
your devilish ways.

Hey...

Hey, I offer young Black men...

a better life,

a chance to be their own man,
a chance to be their own...

their own boss.

Look, this is not what
the Lord wants for y'all.

There is a better way.

When a man offers you a
gift, you should take it.

Well, I already have all
the gifts that I need.

Okay.

Come on, Stanley.

Are you sure this
is what you want?

I have never been more sure
about anything in my life.

Okay, then.

Why'd you stay
outside in the car?

- I-I-I live with him, Douda.
- But you fucking work for me.

Get in the car, nigga.

Basically, we want to
make you our new supplier.

But first...

we kind of just want to
see what you offering.

Why would you sell my weed
when you can grow your own?

'Cause we don't
know how to do that.

I can teach you.

Why would you do that?

Why wouldn't I?

Wouldn't that be cutting
off into your business?

Honestly, I just want
niggas to smoke better weed.

This ain't about
getting rich for me.

Besides, you can't get rich
off selling weed anyway.

And once the government
understands how to tax it,

it's gonna be
available everywhere.

So my hope is to show people

how to smoke it and
grow it properly.

If we gonna get high, we might
as well do it the right way.

So you don't want
no money from us?

No. I got money.

But you will need funds for
supplies and to grow it.

Why can't we just
grow it at our crib?

Do you live in a mansion?

- No, we don't.
- Not yet.

Then you need to rent a space

so you can control
temperature and humidity.

And you need a water
tank, lots of soils

and worms and employees
to tend to the babies.

Babies?

You mean the buds?

No.

These plants are babies.

They're living and
breathing organisms.

This shit is a process.

Well, um...

we-we ain't got bread like that.

But would you be
willing to invest in us?

If I give you the money,
then I own it, not you.

You'll just be a
branch of my business.

You want to be your
own bosses, right?

Yeah.

Then find an investor, and
I'll show you the rest.

And you sure you wouldn't
see us as competition?

Nah. I got farms
all over the place.

I look at this as a
form of giving back.

Remember when people
started eating organically?

Yeah.

Well, my mission...

is to get folks to start
smoking organically.

You see, people put all
sorts of stuff in their weed

to get people high.

But it destroys people's lungs,
and people wake up feeling...

hungover.

It's not supposed
to be like that.

That is crazy.

You know what's crazier?

Not knowing what you're smoking.

Fuck getting rich.

I'm trying to
start a revolution.

Alcohol can kill you.

Cigarettes can kill you.

Prescription drugs can kill you.

What do they all have in common?

They all legal.

Exactly.

But if TSA catch me with
weed in my backpack,

my Black ass is going to jail.

Get the fuck out of here.

What you think?

Got a point.

This is the future.

I like it.

I told him he couldn't buy it
without talking to you first.

That was my idea.

Yeah, okay.

So what you think?

I think our moms are gonna kill
us for moving to the West side.

I said that, too,
but Douda thinks

we should open up another
location over here.

So it would make sense.

What are the schools
like over here?

My nieces go to the
school up the street.

Uh, Black teachers,
great curriculum,

and it's in walking distance.

I like that.

I think we should get it, baby.

You really think we can
afford a house right now?

Douda said he would help us out.

Now, that I don't like.

Do y'all need a minute?

No.

Just make sure he knows
whatever he gives us is a loan.

- Bet.
- And I want both of our names

on the mortgage.

I wouldn't have
it any other way.

So...?

Yes.

- Yes?
- Yes.

Yeah? Hey, draw
up that paperwork

because we getting a house!

♪ Wow, I'm too fleeky for 'em ♪

♪ Wow, I'm too fleeky for 'em ♪

♪ Wow, I'm too fleeky for 'em ♪

♪ Wow, I'm too fleeky for 'em... ♪

What's wrong?

I haven't performed
since the shooting.

I know.

And it's just like,

what if it happens again?

Look...

we can't let what happened

stop us from walking
in our purpose.

You're right.

Yeah.

Hey, make some noise.

Make some noise!

Y'all having fun tonight?

I said, y'all
having fun tonight?

Next up, we got a
special treat for y'all.

I want y'all to give
it up for Maisha!

I know you got money.

Hmm. My family
got money, not me.

How'd you get this
big-ass house, then?

I know you ain't get
it with weed money.

Mother bought this
house as an investment.

I'm basically her tenant.

Well, would you be willing
to ask your mom for a loan?

Nah, I ain't doing that.

Think about it.

If you can get us a loan
and this really works,

you would never have
to ask your family

for money ever again.

Ever.

- And if it doesn't?
- It will.

Do you believe in me?

Of course I do.

Then go get us some money

so we can cut ties with
Douda and be our own boss.

Why take 15% when
we can have it all?

♪ Yeah, I know you lie to me ♪

♪ I probably lie to you, ♪
♪ there ain't no tryin' me ♪

That's right. Yeah,
that was fire.

One more time...

Let's hear it for Maisha.

Hey, don't go nowhere.
We here all night.

What are you doing here?

What do you think?

- Did you see the show?
- Yeah, you bodied that shit.

- I was nervous.
- I couldn't tell.

Well, I thank you
for being here.

Where else would I be?

You really trying
to get back with me?

Uh, you trying to
get back with me?

No, no, no, nigga.

I asked you first.

I missed you, Maisha.

I missed you, too.

But I have so much
going on right now.

Yeah, pssh, yeah.
Yeah, me too.

So what is this?

I mean, uh, we don't
got to call it nothing.

- Don't tell Papa.
- Oh, I won't tell a soul.

Why, 'cause you ashamed
of being with me?

No, no, no, I just...

You know, I just don't want
everybody in our business,

and we still trying to
figure this shit out.

I get that.

Oh!

- Hey, Kevin.
- Hey, Jemma.

- I got your money.
- Yeah, I'm gonna let y'all...

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Great show.

Thank you.

They short $200.

No, that's my 10%.

Sasha approached me.

How you get a
percentage of that?

I managed this
whole thing for you.

But you didn't get me the gig.

Like, I thought
you only collected

when you got me the job.

I mean, yes, technically,
but without me,

I mean, this whole thing
would've been a shit show.

And, I mean, without me,

this green room would've
been snack-free.

Okay, bitch. I...

I get it.

Just... next time,
give me a heads-up.

Uh-huh.

♪ Baby, if you hit my line and say ♪

♪ That we should fall back ♪

♪ Honestly, I could respect that ♪

Do I really got to wait
until after my birthday

to ask you out?

You can ask all you want,

but I'll probably say no.

I appreciate your honesty.

And I appreciate
your persistence.

What if it wasn't a date?
What if we just hung out?

Mm...

I don't know.

Maybe.

I, uh, really enjoyed
our talk yesterday.

Me too.

It's nice being
around another PK.

Most of my friends don't get me.

I'm always saying awkward shit,

and because I don't
watch regular TV,

um, I usually don't get they
references half the time.

Ugh, I know.

I was always an oddball
with my friends, too.

I don't know.

I guess I just like
spending time with you.

And I'm taking you to Red
Lobster the day I turn 18.

Okay, and until then, I'll
be your designated driver

the days we work the same shift.

Hey, Emmett just put me
in charge of the schedule,

so we gonna be seeing
a lot of each other.

Okay, smooth operator.

Sade, right?

Yeah.

I-I never ask you for shit.

Don't curse in my house.

I mean, it'd only be a
loan anyway, all right?

Me and my girl, we got a
plan. We'd pay it right back.

You know?

When was the last time
you got a real haircut?

This is why I don't
come around here, Mom.

What do you need?

50 racks.

That's a big loan.

A-and I got a plan
to pay it right back.

I promise.

Uh-huh.

Okay.

As in, yes, you'll
loan it to me?

As in, yes, I'ma give it to you.

So you-you-you don't
want me to pay you back?

I want something else.

What?

Q was my brother.

He's the reason that
I could raise you

in a house like this

and send you to a private school

on the North Side.

He was more a father to
me than an older brother.

I want to know who killed him...

who dumped him in the river
like he was a piece of trash,

like he wasn't a man who
still had more life to live.

Look, I'm not no detective.

But you run the
same streets he did.

Make it 100 racks.

You bargaining with your
own flesh and blood?

Just 'cause we blood, that...

that don't mean we bonded.

That was your uncle.

And whoever was
responsible for this

shouldn't be alive much longer.

Well, I can ask around.

For 100 racks...

you have to do more than that.
