Nigga just got killed.
That ain't nothing.
Everybody from the goddamn--
you know what I mean?
Back to your regularly
scheduled program,
you know what I mean?
It don't matter, though.
We can walk on down
a little bit,
by the liquor store,
by the corner.
Show you the spot where
my brother got killed at.
You know, like,
when a motherfucker die,
or when a homey
was a team member,
you give 'em some bells,
or you give 'em some goddamn--
some flowers or something,
you know what I mean?
You put it right there,
just to remember the spot,
you know what I mean?
- Frank, that's fucked up.
- Yeah, Frank--fucked up.
This is my brother, right here.
His name was Snow.
"R.I.P. Snow."
He got killed right here
on this corner.
He got shot right there.
He came right here,
but he ain't die right here.
He got shot three times.
He fucked around
and made it to the hospital,
you know, and everything,
but when they put the medicine
and all that shit in him,
that made him die,
you know what I mean?
But at the same time,
he probably would have pulled
through, but, you know,
God got the answer
to everything.
But, yeah, he died right here.
We put the flowers and all that
out there, every year.
That's my real brother,
Antonio James Snow.
This is my strip, right here.
I walked this strip
for 20 straight years, man.
From right here--
this is where it all began.
My granddad stayed there first.
I remember when I first got
introduced to James P.,
when I first ever came
to the Bluff,
this is where I was, right here.
My first shooting
was right here in front
of this door right here.
Nigga tried to rob me
and my brother, Snow.
I'll never forget it.
Snow had a.22
with two bullets in it,
the nigga came, right,
and he ran--
he robbed my brother
right there.
They had the car parked
right here.
He ran out--the driver,
and my brother's like,
"Shoot him, shoot him,
shoot him."
I was spooked.
Shot the two times--"bow, bow."
Tried my best to hit him,
but missed him,
but nigga know not to ever
try that again.
And then, boy, I got my rank
right then like this.
This here bust,
so motherfucker know
not to fuck with me no more.
After that, it was straight
really ruckus with me,
but at the same time,
I grew older,
went to jail a couple times.
Right here is where my baby mama
got killed.
Her name was Tashiba Matthews.
A nigga shot her, hatin',
you know what I mean,
because of some bullshit.
And the nigga was just
geeked up,
had done been awoke
three, four days, trippin',
Iike, goddamn on that thing.
So goddamn nigga
like this here,
so when it all boiled down,
it's like, boy,
nigga walked down the street
with like a goddamn
semiautomatic,
and she was just walkin' to ask
him what happened between them,
and he just started shootin'.
Shot her, killed her right here.
Goddamn blood ran from right
here all along the ground, man.
She was a girl, and she was cool
as a motherfucker.
She didn't take no shit
from nobody.
- Hey, what you doin' that for?
- Oh, I told her I was gonna
make a book.
Told her I got the book,
I'll write about my whole life,
about everything.

'Cause your mama goddamn runnin'

Just a little something.
- Somebody got another blunt?
- We can't do too much flexin'
and puttin' on.
I bought a new watch,
you know what I mean?
It wasn't none too tough.
I didn't want to just put
no 24s and that on the car,
big old flex so they'll
be wonderin'
where the money came from,
you know what I mean?
That just was fucked up
two, three weeks ago,
you know what I mean?
There's a way to do everything.
- Y'all gonna act
a goddamn fool.
- You know what I'm
talkin' about?
Man, I'm talkin' about
my motherfuckin' partner

I wondered why.
I thought,
"l know it's your number."
I was like, "Hell no."
I'm like, "This ain't even

Big bag of everything.
- I got these folk down

that we want to hold to you.
- How you gonna handle it?
- Shit, man, I was gonna try
to get that buy
and get some for like 1 6.
And then charge them folks

Wipe 'em up.

Take your masks off.

Take all the hoodies
and everything off.
Get the gloves.
We got to throw
all this shit away.
Yeah, just throw it.
Throw it out the window.
- What about the gun?
- No, we got to keep the guns

We got to keep it strapped.
Hell yeah, so we run

That's for when we get

Turn right there.

Fuck them niggas.
Everything went smooth.
Yeah, that's good enough.
[coughing]
Yeah, that good enough.
That's good shit too.
Mm-mm.
Boy, that's it.
Goddamn, man.
- Got the power of Red in there,
man.
- Them nigga would.
They say they from out of town.
Whatever, we don't give a fuck.
The deal is done,
and the cake been baked.
They need to come on
with the drama
or whatever they gonna do.
Other than that, fuck 'em.
We ball.
It's Curtis, Grandma.
Hey, Grandma.
How you be, Grandma?
I need a big favor.
- What?
- I need you to tell the camera
about Dad, about dope, you know?
About how long you been
staying here.
- Who, me?
- Yeah.
- I been here since 1 936.
- 1 936, the same house.
- All raised up here.
- This is a picture of my daddy,
right there.
- And that's him on the piano.
- There's my uncle.
- Ain't Curtis over there?
- Mm-hmm.
Yo, my dad.
It's his mom.
- I sure wish you'd told me
he was comin'.
I would have
straightened up some, Curtis,
and moved some of
all these things.
- No, it's straight.
It's straight, Grandma.
- No, it ain't neither.
I don't like pictures like this.
I like to be straightened out,
honey.
That's why the scripture
teaches us
that if my people
that are called by my name
would armor themselves,
pray, seek His face,
and turn from their wicked ways,
then they will hear from heaven.
That means you will hear
from Him.
He will bless you more,
because there's nothin'
out in the street but trouble.
And death--
you're guaranteed of that.
- Yeah, well,
we seen that with Tonio.
- You can have that
though eternal life
by knowing Jesus.
So you got to straighten up.
We got to get you a job,
and be a man.
God done let you live
over 25 years.
25 more, you'll be 50,
if He lets you live
to get that old.
Some of 'em don't even
get that old.
Look at Tonio, didn't get to 22.
- I was just gonna say, 22.
- Because if he had known
that he was gonna get killed,
he would have changed his ways.
He wouldn't have been
in the predicament he was in.
But that's the trouble.
We don't ever know
where death is.
David says just one step
between you and death.
He said, "One step
between me and death,"
so that's us, too.
It's just one step.
And you never know when you're
makin' that last step.
- That shit scary.
Gonna take a drink.
Word up in the end.
This shit over.
Oh, we laughin' at her.
This shit ain't funny, but, boy.
See, I see how she look when she
sayin' it at you.
But listenin' to that shit,
takin' that shit,
I been listenin' to that shit--
ain't anything
I made a deal for.
[hip-hop music]
# #
- You want to hit that blunt,
bro?
- It's game over.
You get no cocaine.
I'm on the new rule.
No cash, not gonna get it.
- This it right here.
- Six.
- Hell yeah.
- There ain't gonna be no six.
- Says who?
- We got to make sure everything
bagged up.
'Cause we stashin' it.
- We chillin' on now, man.
- Ain't nothin' but fifties
for cocaine.
That's why we're baggin' up.
Nothin' but fifties.
I read that--
It's easy to see, this how
this shit go in the street:
Either you gonna be the one
that doin' it,
or it gonna get done
to your ass.
It got to happen
one of them way.
But it ain't got one of those
on and off,
because I was doin' odd jobs,
and, you know, tryin' to goddamn
see what the move's gonna be.
That shit wasn't for me.
And then I'm thinkin'
in my head,
"It's so easy for me to
just, 'Get up,"'
you know what I mean?
When niggas see that gun,
it can be fake or real,
if you know how to handle it,
man, them motherfuckers
gonna get up.
Motherfucker don't want
to get shot.
That's the scariest thing
in the world, a gun,
dead in your motherfuckin' face,
the barrel part.
And you don't know who that is
on the other side of it.
Yeah, I got my name right there.
I just got her name.
- Let me see if for the camera.
- "R.I.P. Trice,"
with a sack in the middle.
I'm the only nigga you know,
still,
got a crack sack
tattooed on him,
you know what I mean?
Dedicated to this shit.
'Cause this is what really
made me.
If I don't know nothin'
about this shit,
I wouldn't goddamn have nothin'
to eat all them days
when I ain't had no job
or my mom and my daddy
weren't workin'.
That shit helped us out
a whole lot,
so I'm motherfuckin' sayin'
dope ain't always been bad.
Helped my family out,
so I really like to know that,
"Hey, well, drugs kill, now,
but at the same time,
"shit, they also do
help you out.
"They pay your rent
if you ain't got no job,
or they do this."
There's a lot of shit
you can do with drugs,
so, you know.
Shit still here.
Could be still here.
It's a still life.
Still smokin', still drinkin',
still standin' in lines.
Still takin' care of children
or whatever.
Still strapped.
We just still.
We just still.
Hell yeah.
We need to go and see
what they talkin' about.
Bro.
Guess we waitin' on them
clock to strike, and boom.
You know what I mean?
We pack up.
We still got the goddamn--
don't let me forget
that we got to walk around to
the other spot,
'cause I got to get something
out of there.
Bro, I'ma fuck with you.
Got them guys don't handle
their business, man.
But goddamn now, I'm gonna
keep everything under control.
- Yo, they say the nigga
gonna be waitin',
so we got to hurry up.
Lock the door, bro.
Make sure you lock the door.
You got to make sure
this shit goes down.
All the way down, man.
Yeah, man, police.
Shit.
Ah, shit.
- Meet that nigga up there,
goddamn, how that is.
- Get the hell on.

Somebody had took a warrant out
on me about some robbery shit.
I already know about

but goddamn, didn't know
that shit gonna pop up.
And then when I went to Grady,
goddamn, them fool like,
"Yeah, man, you got a warrant."
I'm like, "What?"
Had a probation hold
for that old shit.
- We didn't know
what was goin' on.

tell nobody.
- Did you get any of the letters
we sent?
- Yeah, I got them.
I got the three letters
you sent, and I got--
- Got the pictures and stuff?
- Yeah, hell yeah, man.
I was like, damn, boy.
Feels so good
to see these streets.
Like good God Almighty, shit.
- But you need to, like,
lay low for a couple of days.
'Cause I really ain't broadcast.
Ain't told nobody nothin'.
- You ain't told nobody.
- Naw, fools be comin' up to me,
"Kita, what's going on?"
- That means they gonna be
totally surprised.
- That is the most
important part.
But you got to try
to stay out of trouble.
- I love y'all.
I love y'all.
- I love you, too, Curt,
and I'm glad to see you
out of jail.

Hell yeah, Pancho, man, shit.
Did this shit like a goddamn--
you know what I mean?
Like some shit--
a routine now, man.
I been fuckin' with dope now
about goddamn...
a good 1 5 years,
myself, personally,
but my uncles, cousins,
whole generation
of motherfuckers,
you know what I mean?
Been sellin' dope
ever since I was goddamn born,
way before I was even born,
Iike 25 years deep
in the dope game,
you know what I mean?
First time that ever caught,
I sold a nigga a nick
for a dime.
My uncle wasn't there,
and I was at the spot.
And goddamn I knew where
the dope and all that was.
I was about 1 2 years old.
Sold a nigga a set.
Felt good about the shit.
I was like, "Boy, boom boom."
Yeah, I goddamn--
I had dope in my system
when I was first born.
I was goddamn--
what you call that shit?
Premature.
'Cause my mama, goddamn,
she smoke so goddamn much,
and she had me before I was--
she used to tell me, be like,
I used to be like this little
when I first got born.
Look, you know what I mean?
Little enough you can hold me in
the palm of your hand like that.
Yeah, but she didn't goddamn
never get took by the folk,
even though she did her thing,
you know what I mean?
But she wasn't never
no goddamn--
no geet monster
who ran the street.
She always made sure children,
everybody was straight.
And whatever her job was,
she made sure that was done
before she even did any kind
of dope, you know what I mean?
But when she do get high,
she just want to goddamn,
you know what I mean,
enjoy herself.
And I had to get older to peep
that shit, you know what I mean,
be like, "Damn, this what make
Mama happy."
And I was like, "Damn."
I ain't feel too fond
of givin' it to her,
but I rather her get it from--
I rather for her to get it
from me
than go out there in the street,
and somebody sell her some flat
or some shit like that.
Or, you know, some shit like
that what they have in 'em.
Or sell her some bad dope
or something like that.
Ain't no way in hell, man.
Yo, man, I can remember myself
bein' that little,
right there, man,
just like my boy.
Goddamn, my uncles used to do
the same shit,
you know what I mean?
And it'd be damn nearly
the same setup right here.
He have some liquor.
He had him some weed.
He had a pistol just sittin'
right there.
And he'd be sittin' by the door.
When I just thought
about this shit,
I was like, damn, damn near in
the same motherfuckin' position.
But this be my uncle,
and that's me walkin' around,
you know what I mean?
That's how I used to be,
just like that,
while my uncle doin'
this same exact shit.
I was that little,
runnin' around the house,
back and forth.
Hell yeah.
I remember that shit
like it was yesterday.
