I'm not paying you to think
about the big picture, nigga.
Tell me where the fuck my dope at,
and I give her back safely to Lamar.
The hospital's making
an offer for $25,000.
- That's a lot of doggone money.
- Not for our son's vision.
This here? Also done.
First, you would never
look in my vicinity.
Now, you show up and fuck me
like a damn old-school porno?
I might know some cats outside the hood
who might wanna holler.
Are you dealing drugs with your brother?
No.
Look, you know this
was not my fault, right?
Stay the hell away
from my fucking house.
Mo. Mo!
People are dead because of us.
And yeah, we didn't
pull the fucking trigger,
but we may as well have.
School was never my thing,
and my folks knew.
But I always showed up for picture day.
That's when everybody arrives
looking clean and all G'd up.
Dig that fellow in his
freshman class picture.
Yeah, I ain't make it
much further past that day.
My point is, people spend
a lotta time in school
trying to learn how
to better themselves.
Ain't much different than the streets.
You learn how to count
Do chemistry
Freeze! Hands where I can see 'em!
And participate in PE.
And the biggest difference
between the two
are the goals.
In the school of hard knocks,
if you ain't graduating,
yo' ass is dying.
Oh, snap, it's Meech.
Hey, yo. What up, doe?
What up, Little Curly?
No. Not-not little. Just Curly.
I'm 12, a'ight?
- What's up, man?
- Hey, yo, uh,
can you cop us a 40?
Man, you niggas don't even
got hair on y'all balls,
and y'all asking for a brew.
I'ma get you some pop.
Man, whatever. Yo, that man is crazy.
Hey, yo. We gotta go.
A'ight, Curly.
I got y'all two orange
Faygos and some Better Mades.
- You straight?
- Yeah, yeah, good lookin'.
Yeah, that's right. Run, bitch. Run!
You almost
just got killed, Meech.
But I didn't.
But what about the rest of our family?
And no one know where
Pops is staying still.
We still gotta get Nikki
and Mama out the crib.
This shit, man.
She poke her head out yet?
Shit, if she did I wouldn't know.
And honestly,
I ain't even trying to
see her ass right now.
A'ight, let's break this shit up
in halfies, quarters, and big eights.
- What you mean?
- We cooking and rockin' like always.
Hell no, nigga.
We don't got the bodies or time.
I'm not throwing away that much money.
Meech, we already got a system in place.
Niggas always looking for a
better price and product, Tee.
Look, Tiny's down for a
brick, and he turned me
onto his cousin Que from the north end,
which gonna grow our business even more.
Look, right now, we can't be
seen in these streets, bro.
We gonna be sitting ducks for Lamar.
Come on, man. Let's chop this shit up,
so I can meet Que at
the spot we just copped.
What's cracking, Brit?
Hey. That guy's been waiting
for you by the soul section.
What up, doe?
Anything I can play or wrap up for you?
No, just checking out your merch,
trying to see what kinda store this is.
Okay.
Well, we an independent
that focuses on all genres.
You know, you see it, we got it.
If you don't, we damn sure can get it.
No matter what it is.
When Tiny told me about
you, I was interested.
- Had no idea you just a kid.
- Yeah, well, shit.
My hustle make up for
whatever I'm lackin'.
Not to mention
I got that work.
Right.
Except I put my ear out to the streets,
and I ain't like what came back.
Word is, you snaked your last plug.
Well, you been in the game
long enough to know bullshit
when you hear it.
Thing is, you haven't.
Young'uns.
Always gonna make mistakes.
The kind I can't afford.
So what you saying?
I took this meeting
out of respect for Tiny,
so I ain't sayin' never,
but definitely not right now.
What's up, Mr. Ryan?
Do you think you can get
me in the college fair?
The event's for juniors and seniors.
We're at capacity.
Come on, Mr. Ryan. Is
there anything I can do?
What's going on with you?
Nothing.
I just I need something
to focus my attention on.
Well, look, I can't get you
in the event as a student.
But I may need some help
setting up the event.
You do that,
maybe I'll introduce you to
some admissions directors,
including my old college roommate,
who represents Western
Michigan University.
Okay. Thank you.
Thank you so much, um
Do-do I need to do
anything, bring anything?
No, no, just come to
the auditorium at 11:00
to help me set up,
and be ready to discuss
who you are as a person.
Yeah, don't even trip. I got you.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
All I'm saying is, you don't
see me inviting Mr. Ryan
to bowling parties and
hanging out in his office.
Oh.
Yo, get the fuck outta here with that.
Mr. Ryan just be putting
me on game, a'ight?
Oh, I'm sure he does.
I'ma fuck you up with that
fucking Daniel-san bullshit.
What up?
What's up, man?
Mama, you okay?
I know you in there.
Nicole brought you
some food, Ma. Open up.
I'm fine. I don't want nothin'!
Come on, Ma. It's an emergency.
I said I don't want nothing!
Go away!
She ain't been out her
room or talked to nobody.
Like, I don't know what's wrong.
I got an idea.
Yes, Lord.
How many times I gotta
tell you, you can't stay here
if you running these fast-tail girls
up in and out of here and
smoking on that reefer?
Pastor, I don't be doing
nothing in here, I swear.
Look here, son. I got
a nose for two things,
and what I'm smellin' You
paid way too much for both.
But I do have a church to protect.
A big church.
The good Lord thanks you
for that benevolent offering, brother.
Bet he does.
Thanks for waiting for
me, Brother Flenory.
Only got $5 on me.
That's fine, Pastor. I'm
not here for the money.
I'm working for the Lord.
Matthew 20:4, he shall
pay what is right.
That's not exactly
how the scripture goes.
I know, brother. I'm just testin' you,
making sure you've
been reading your Bible.
- What's up?
- It's Mama.
- Thank you, Pastor.
- Yes, Lord.
I've been up there a while.
Your mama ain't talkin'.
Someone wanna tell me what
the hell's goin' on around here?
Terry, your mouth still work?
- Pops, listen
- Is your name Terry?
Um, Ma
M-Ma found out that I've
been selling drugs with Meech.
You brought drugs in my house?
No disrespect, Pops, but you
ain't exactly been livin' here.
- Motherfucker!
- Pop, Pop, Pop
This is still my goddamn house!
A'ight, something happen.
We got some people
looking out after y'all.
Like you did before.
Yeah, but this is worse, Pops.
This about that guy
from the mall, ain't it?
- No.
- What guy?
We was at the mall, and
this guy approached Terry.
Look, Pops, maybe you should just take
Mama and Nicole to Ohio for a minute.
Not until you tell me what y'all done
that I gotta move my
family out the house
I built with my own two hands.
Hmm?
Pops, please.
Pops.
I'm coming too, Dad.
This is why I told you
we shouldn't have kidnapped Lamar's kid.
Man, we ain't kidnap nobody.
We ain't tape nobody mouth shut.
I fed that little girl ice cream, man.
Fuck is you talking about?
We took her without
her parents' permission,
which, by definition,
is kidnapping, Meech.
Okay, so it was a soft kidnappin'.
Soft kidnappin'? Really, bro?
Soft kidnappin'. Fuck.
What you know, good
niggas? What the fuck?
Niggas got 40s and no cups?
Bitch, this ain't Bennigan's.
Better hit that shit from the neck.
Motherfucker, I am not
drinking after y'all niggas.
I know y'all be eating pussy
that smell like mop water.
Come on now. Come on now.
- What up, doe?
- About to hit up the Flenorys.
I need y'all to do me a favor.
I want you to go and
distract his bodyguards.
Sound like a personal problem to me.
Nigga, shut the fuck up
'fore I choke your ass out again.
Homie, you got me fucked up.
You think I'm scared of
your little punk-ass pistol?
Put a S on that, motherfucker.
Uh-uh. A'ight, listen.
All y'all motherfuckers
need to put this shit down right now.
- Fuck that.
- Old school time is up.
And since you rollin' with him
- Uh-huh.
- So's yours.
Man, I got a fucking gun too, homie.
We can both die here tonight.
Yo, the hook at four o'clock!
- Oh. Oh, oh, oh.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, tag, niggas.
- Yo, let's go, go.
I'm it. Go on! I'll find you.
Guess I showed up just in time.
Well, you know how it is
when niggas ain't seen you for a minute.
- What up, doe?
- I'm good.
Can you tell your boy Lionel
Ritchie to take a hike?
Oh, sticks and stones, big dog.
Sticks and stones.
Let this nigga know I be
more stones than sticks.
Five. Four. Three.
- Muscle-mouthed motherfucker.
- Two.
You know the drill.
Man, I'm clean.
You check behind my ears if you want to.
See, I don't see it that way.
See, I got bodies turning
up, people going MIA,
and then there's that little shootout
that happened this morning.
Detective, I'm a changed man.
Lamar, you stupid.
And stupid always get caught.
Tag, nigga. Now I'm it.
What did you and Demetrius do
that requires us to leave our house?
Terry, you're also a
father yourself now.
What if Terry Jr. Did
something to affect
the safety of your family?
How would you feel?
Tee? Where you at, Tee?
For someone with no key,
you sure know how to
find your way up in here.
- You want me to leave?
- Doesn't matter.
You gonna come back any
time you ready anyway.
Yo, I ain't tell Pops
shit, but we need to.
Que passed on us, man.
Pat's been bad-mouthing us, Tee.
Let's go back to
what we know selling 50s.
I told you already.
That shit don't make no sense
when Lamar still on our heads.
Then fuck it. Then let's
franchise out to our crew.
We give 'em each a bag.
They get they own people to move it.
You and I, we'll still be invisible.
Shit, we'd be like
Pat, and they'd be us.
We tried your way.
And I'm all for yours,
but not with five bricks.
Give B-Mickie one. We gon'
split the rest two-two.
The hell you mean,
give B-Mickie a brick?
TB been with us since day one.
I'm not rewarding no
nigga for going MIA.
And I still ain't forget
about the Jay Mo shit, a'ight?
Man, why the fuck you
always gotta be so damn hard?
A'ight? Just listen. Damn.
Just give it to him, man.
I'll work out the rest.
I'ma see how I feel, Meech, a'ight?
I'ma see how I feel.
Give B-Mickie a brick.
Nigga, are you crazy?
Get your ass
out of my car, nigga.
I'll give that nigga
somethin' not a brick.
I swear to God, I'm gonna stomp
Tiny's fucking kidneys out.
Hey, look, man. You ain't wrong, nigga,
but if you keep on putting
Tiny's fat ass on notice,
he gonna keep his eye out on you.
Plus, he got the whole
crew behind him right now.
Fuck them! Fuck them traitors.
And fuck them
light-skinned-ass pretty boys,
a'ight, with their fucking
super-security-having asses.
Nigga, this shit only happened
because they got the fuckin' drop on me.
Because you gave up the stash.
Look, homie, Meech had Zoe.
The motherfucker said he was gonna
cut her fucking head off, man.
What the fuck was I
supposed to do, nigga?
Look, man, you can get everything back,
plus your fucking
family, but not right now.
Right now, you way too fuckin' angry.
You ain't even seein' shit straight.
You patched shit up with Monique before.
You can do that shit again,
and then after you do that,
me and you can cut off
Meech and Terry's water for good.
You hear me?
No?
See, motherfuckers can live
without a lot of shit, homie.
No heat, you can give a bitch a blanket.
No electric,
light a fuckin' candle or some shit.
But you cut off a motherfucker's water?
That's a wrap.
Nigga can't wash the
dishes, wash his ass,
or use the shitter.
You feel me?
I like that. Yeah, I like that a lot.
But if this shit go wrong,
Meech and Terry ain't
gonna be the only niggas
with their water cut off.
Oh, shit.
Damn, girl.
You got that thing.
Shut up.
You want a hot towel?
A hot towel and hot sex?
What you tryin' and do, get me whipped?
Why you covering up like that?
'Cause, nigga, I don't want
you looking all up in my grits.
I was just all in them grits.
It's me, nigga. Open the door.
Dog. Come on.
Put a shirt on with that
bird-ass chest of yours.
- Man, please.
- Man, fuck you.
All right.
So I've been meaning to ask you.
Now, I know that ain't the heater
you popped Jay Mo with.
Hell no.
I tossed it in the river
after I anchored Jay Mo down.
Okay.
Not in the same fucking
place though, right?
Fuck no, nigga. I ain't stupid.
You know, I can't tell,
given this bullshit
situation you put us in.
What the hell is this?
We gonna show you
some love on the price.
You buggin', right?
I thought your ass'd actually be happy.
You getting a chance to make some cheese
for yourself, nigga.
A'ight, just hit me when I
need to hit you up, a'ight?
A'ight.
Oh, and, um I need
you to do me a favor.
Let me guess.
You need help cookin'
them shits up, too, huh?
A'ight.
I'ma show love on the price too.
Love is love, right?
Fo sho.
Dirty-ass hand.
Why don't you go and put
some fucking clothes on?
It's my crib. Hey, close my door.
Little bird-ass chest.
Guess we about to come up, huh?
Yeah.
You can't be serious.
L-look, Monique, please
just hear me out, a'ight?
There was nothin' I could
do about Meech's crazy ass.
All I'm askin' is that
you just give me a chance,
and I can make it up to you.
Please.
It'll be a cold day in hell
'fore I forgive your ass again.
I apologize.
What the hell else you want me to do?
Get the fuck away from my house
before I get a restraining
order on your nutty ass!
- Let me go!
- Open the fucking door!
Let me the fuck go!
You motherfucker! Open the fucking door!
Hey!
Monique, open the fucking door, bitch.
Yo! You fuckin' with the wrong one.
I ain't-I ain't Meech, 'cause
I will put my motherfucking foot
up in your fuckin' ass, bitch!
Open this goddamn door! Monique!
Bitch, you got me lookin'
like a crazy motherfucker
up in this bitch.
Monique! Mo!
He warped. He wildin' out.
Yo, man
he trippin', man!
Nigga, you know what you doing?
Yo, we gotta move both of these bricks,
so everybody's getting one.
Yeah, I don't know
about that nigga Dink.
He ain't the sharpest tool in the shed.
Shit, that nigga's gonna
have to learn how to be.
Yo, everybody, get in here.
Yo, listen up.
As you grow in the dope game,
the motherfuckers around
you gotta do the same.
Today is graduation.
Everybody's gonna get they own sack.
Hell yeah.
That's what I'm talking about, nigga.
- Let's get it.
- Hold up, hold up.
- What's the pay difference?
- From now on,
you make your money
off the sack I give you.
So as long as you come back
with the number I say, we good.
So we like independent contractors?
Kinda, sorta, but think of it
more like the new
little Terry and Meeches.
- Straight up.
- Okay, so it's like
- some army shit, for real.
- Yeah.
I mean we done did more before
11:00 than most motherfuckers.
Oh, shit. It's 11:00? Yo,
hold it down for me, B.
You were supposed to help set up.
I know. I-I'm so sorry. I
just had some drama at home.
All right. Come on.
Terry, this is Mr. Tolbert.
- Hey.
- Pleasure to meet you.
Mr. Ryan's told me
good things about you.
Likewise, sir.
Well, to succeed in school,
a student has to burn some midnight oil.
Gotta shed those
blood, sweat, and tears.
Can you give me an example of a class
or an assignment where you've done that?
Come on, Tee.
I'm preppin' for my this
college fair today, you know,
'cause I had my usual
classwork last night,
but then I had to stay up a little extra
to prep for my responses.
Good answer.
Yeah.
Uh, tell me about your work history.
Uh, work, work, work.
Uh, I-I'm sorry. I'm a little nervous.
Relax.
This isn't an admissions interview.
I just wanna find out
a little more about you.
Tell me about the greatest
challenge you've had to face.
Ma, I'm not dealing drugs with Meech.
I'm not.
People are dead because of us.
Yeah, I-I'm sorry. I
can't do this right now.
One second. Terry!
You came into my office
and begged me to give
you this opportunity.
Then you show up unprepared like this.
I-I know. I'm sorry, Mr. Ryan.
It's just a lot on my plate right now.
Okay, Terry, that doesn't cut it.
Get your head in the game
before you wreck your future.
I sold you a brick for scraps
so you could be top dog.
I did what you suggested
Turned our backs on Lamar.
But you also sent
me to a bogus-ass meeting
with a fake-ass nigga.
Hey, Que said everything was cool.
Then he heard somethin' on
the way that gave him pause.
Well, I guess y'all not
as tight as you said.
Man, you better help Que
see the fucking light.
Otherwise, you won't
hold that seat for long.
Is that a threat?
Just a reality check, nigga.
A'ight.
I'll holler at him tomorrow
at the gambling spot.
- What spot?
- Off Davison, in H-P.
Yes ♪
How you feelin'?
Both of our boys are
wrapped up in the streets.
I feel like a failure as a parent.
What we not gonna do
is have a pity party
while we still got time to save Terry.
Charles, Terry is selling drugs.
He's also going to school every day
and taking care of his son,
which means all hope's not lost.
We just need to get
him away from Demetrius.
That boy's been
attached to his brother's hip
since he came into this world.
What if we used the money
the hospital was offering
to send Terry to a school
down South somewhere?
He ain't gonna do nothing
but get on a bus and come right back.
Look, I know it sounds like a longshot,
but I truly believe we can
save Terry if we act fast.
But what about Demetrius?
Do you really believe we
have a chance at Demetrius?
Lucille, we gotta do what we
gotta do to save this family.
Hey, yo. We hungry. Can
we get something to eat?
I mean, we've been at it all day.
Yo, yo, yo. Get the fuck outta here.
The fuck are you talking about?
Hey, yo, real talk, I'm hungry too.
Let's make a Coney run.
Yo, that's some bullshit.
How the hell we gonna get paid
if we gotta feed these
little-ass niggas?
Costs to be the boss, baby.
Kato, that some bullshit.
This ain't the goddamn daycare.
Uh, holler holler at
them if you need some action.
Actually, I'm gonna need
you to gimme all of that.
Or I'ma beat your ass and take it.
Hey, yo, I gave that bag to you, Dink.
Not some fuckin' shorty
you left on the block
with all the work.
Now, where the fuck was you at, Sockie?
- Yo, my bad, dog.
- This shit is crazy.
Niggas is leaving they
posts, showing up late
like niggas don't grind
10:00 to 10:00 out here.
What the fuck is going on? Huh?
Our rules were created to guide y'all.
How the hell y'all supposed to win
when everybody's just
out there freestyling?
Threatening the integrity of a name
that I bust my fuckin' ass to build?
I thought you gave us authority
to manage as we see fit.
- You thought wrong!
- Nigga, why are you mad at us
when the nigga who did this shit
and everything else is
still out there, hmm?
- The fuck you just say to me?
- Nigga, you heard me.
The fuck is going on?
Hey, don't say shit. Don't say shit.
Fuck!
Man, what the fuck has
gotten into you, man?
Dink's runner got ganked.
Nigga, so what? That's on Dink.
Nigga, the product in the bag
has our fucking name on it.
No, the fuck it's not.
We ain't the 50 Boyz no more, man.
What the fuck are we, Meech?
I don't know, but we
graduated from that shit.
Yeah? We graduated? We graduated?
We still haven't moved past Lamar,
'cause that's the nigga who
stole they fucking stash.
Oh, fuck.
Yeah, fuck.
Yo, we gotta do something, man,
or it's gonna be the food
trucks all over again.
You know what? Pull the detail on me.
Fuck it.
Nigga, please.
That crazy muh-fucker
already pressed you once.
Who's to say he ain't gonna do
that shit again with his boys?
Man, that midnight-looking
motherfucker run up on me,
I'ma lay his crazy ass the fuck down.
Yeah. He's a lone wolf, man.
That nigga lost his crew.
A'ight, so where the hell
we at with the bricks?
Tiny and I are gonna meet Que tomorrow,
try and seal the deal.
I got this.
No doubt.
Karen, thank you for coming over
on such short notice.
We-we're ready to
accept the $25,000 offer
the hospital made.
Oh, I'm sorry,
but that settlement
offer's been rescinded.
I went over this when
they made the offer.
It had a time limit.
- That's bullshit.
- Watch your mouth.
How she gonna let them pull
the offer without notifying us?
She our doggone lawyer.
Mr. Flenory
Now, this is some
shady backroom business.
I'm sorry, but I don't
get paid until you do.
We should have never let Pastor Shifty
convince us to take on a
conniving rookie lawyer.
Okay, look, I have fought
relentlessly for your son.
If you fought relentlessly,
we'd have some damn
money in our pockets.
I'm afraid I'm gonna have to leave.
- Karen, please. Charles is just
- Sorry, Mrs. Flenory. We're done.
My assistant will send over
the termination of representation file.
What is it with you and this damn gun?
You almost look like you dating it.
Oh, this saved my mother
from a abusive relationship.
Watched over me countless nights
crossing enemy territory.
Shit. Sealed countless deals.
This ain't a gat. It's family.
On that note, I'll
give y'all some space.
I need to get some
clean clothes anyways,
unless you want me
funking up your place.
I like your funk.
As a matter of fact, I like
it so much I'll ride with you.
Know I can't let a ass
like that outta my sight.
Besides, we always hang here.
I ain't never even seen your spot.
Damn, boy. Catching feelings and shit.
I mean, you been here for a minute.
Are you tellin' me you ain't?
I mean, I'm just tryin' to
figure out what we doing.
Are we kickin' it, or are we
We need some more time for this convo,
so we might as well roll.
Your ass is driving. I'm not driving.
Are your parents here?
No, and neither are them damn guards.
You got something you want to ask me?
My dad says when you find a good woman,
you should treat her
like the beautiful child of God she is.
If that's your way of asking me
to be your girlfriend,
then the answer is yes.
I-I think we're supposed to kiss now.
Now, Darius, you seem
like a nice kid and all,
but, um, get the fuck out.
What the hell? You
know the rules, Nicky.
Meech brought girls up to
y'all room all the time.
- What's the problem?
- First of all, you not Meech.
- You my baby sister.
- Tch.
And what the hell were
y'all doing in here
that you can't do on the front porch?
Them damn guards keep spying on us.
That's their damn job.
I feel like I'm in prison.
When this gonna be over?
Come here.
Not too much longer. I promise.
Whatever.
Yo, 'Mar.
'Mar, you here? Good, man.
Get the fuck away from
this black ass nigga.
Who they are ♪
Oh, yeah.
So fight on hard ♪
Don't ever stop, no ♪
It's my destiny ♪
Damn, boy.
You over here sounding like
the missing Temptation and shit.
I ain't even know you was here, man.
How'd everything go
with Monique and shit?
She cut my water off.
Made me realize the most
precious thing in the world
to me is my family,
so I'm gonna bury
somebody that Meech
and Terry care about.
You sure that's the best idea?
You know, the more
heat you bring on them,
it's gonna make it harder for us to do
what we need to do
and shit, you feel me?

Ooh.

Oh, uh, yeah.

Hell yeah. It's a symbol of Detroit.

- Hell no.

Let's meet there tonight.
We can get dinner. Yeah?
Come on. You gonna love it.
I promise. Give me a
sec. I'll be right out.
- Oh, yeah?
- Okay. Okay.
Y'all think you gonna
teach us new tricks?
Naw, I'm trying to take
some of the old dogs' cheese, man.
- Oh!
- Okay, then!
- Throw them bones, man.
- Hey, baby. What you got?
- Ah.
- Uh-huh. Damn, Meech.
Those 50 Boyz fingers
ain't wise enough yet, Jack.
You guys, come on.
It's a grown man table.
Hey, I got five you don't.
What, 500?
We bet thousands out here, homie.
Oh, I know; I'm just
trying to make sure you do
if I take your motherfucking cheese.
- Is that right?
- Oh!
- Money?
- Oh, what you bring?
Y'all work to the spot and shit?
What the fuck have they
got going on right here?
- Yeah. Yeah. Bet it. Run that.
- Whassup?
I know y'all OGs ain't
chickening out on me now.
Not at all. Hell naw. You got the dice?
- Hey, look. I ain't never
- Enough of that.
I hope you know what you doin.
Thought y'all was having this shit.
Bet it all, then, brother.
I ain't say nothing.
Hey, hey, watch his face when he ace.
Southwest all day, baby!
- Oh, oh.
- Yeah.
Wait, wait, he gotta run that back.
- Don't get excited yet.
- Come on, man.
No, you're too hype. Double up. Come on.
Do it twice or you ain't nice.
Come on, man. Nothin'.
Let's go. Let's go.
Let's go.
- Mmm!
- God
Give me all that shit.
Give me all this
motherfuckin' money, man.
- I want all that shit, nigga.
- That's it for me.
It's gonna be a party
somewhere tonight though, right?
- For sure it is.
- Ha ha, yo, dawg. I see you.
You know that.
You know I still ain't
change my mind yet, right?
Sure, that's cool.
But you bet against me, and I won.
So I'ma get a lot of business in here.
I'ma keep on winning too.
Shit, ain't a lot of
business up in here.
Look
I know you one of the
gateways to Detroit.
That's where I'm
headed and then some.
You think you gonna take over the world?
I'm just focused on the D first,
but hell yeah.
A'ight. Let's make this money.
Let's get it.
How long you been selling drugs
with your brother?
She ain't asking me.
I ain't never sold a drug in my life.
- Ever since Meech started.
- Why, Terry?
Why would you do that?
I
I don't know.
I guess I got I got
tired of how we were living.
Your mother and I busted our butt
to give you everything you needed.
And I'm not knocking that, Pops,
but there's a difference
between Toughskins and Levi's.
A difference between French dressin'
or mayo mixed with ketchup dressin'.
Y'all work four jobs,
and we still can't afford
to pay a mortgage on a house
that, Pops, you built by hand?
Poverty is not a
scapegoat for immorality.
Mama, people are gonna
get high regardless.
If somebody's gonna get paid,
it might as well be me and Meech.
That's the most ignorant thing
I've ever heard come out of your mouth.
How's looking out for my own family,
as opposed to some random
user I don't know, ignorant?
The money me and Meech
make is enough to cover
three mortgages, two luxury cars,
and however many field
trips Nicky want to go on.
The choices we make in this life
will affect us in the next.
Selling drugs is one thing,
but that ain't all y'all doing,
or else we wouldn't be in danger.
Y'all murder somebody?
Naw. We ain't kill nobody.
The path you on right now
got us worried about your soul.
And we can't protect you from that.
- Tear that ass up.
- You better.
Take this shit off.
Oh, right there.
Yeah. Yeah.
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
Look, when I found out
some of y'all was cutting corners,
I ain't gonna lie, I took it personal.
I did.
But, you know, just
like any other business,
if you ain't growin', you losing.
And I hate losin' more than anything,
so for that reason in particular,
I'm loosening the reins.
50 Boyz are no more.
Yeah. Right. So what
y'all do with the work?
That's on you.
As long as y'all come
back with our loot,
I don't give a fuck what you do.
Well, shit, if we ain't
called the 50 Boyz no more,
what we gonna call ourself?
The hell I'm 'posed to do with this?
Hey, at least the popo
can't scope us no more.
Hey, hey, what if we call ourselves
the Detroit Go-Getters?
Oh, that's That's
wack as fuck, nigga.
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
What about the Southwest Playas?
Nigga, that shit sound like the name
of a senior citizen club.
- Hell nah.
- A'ight, I'm done.
How about The Family?
- A'ight.
- That's that works.
It's not terrible.
Hey, look, we might as well jam out.
Sockie, come on, get us right.
- That's what I'm talking about.
- Yeah.
- Play the tunes, Sockie.
- You know it.
- That's what I'm talking about.
- Hey, let's do it right.
Hey, hey.
Yo, I'm sick and tired of
being left in the dark, a'ight?
You and Tee copped this record store,
and I ain't know shit about it.
You was MIA, a'ight?
We had to get a spot to
post up in, so we got this.
I feel like I'm being punished
for checking in for my moms.
Y'all fronting me bricks like
I'm a damn corner boy and shit?
Fuck up with that?
We've been over this, dog.
All right, nigga, you my nigga for life.
You been with us since day one,
but the structure of our crew
is the structure of our crew, a'ight?
Now, look at it this way.
With the price we giving you?
Nigga, you can make your
own money on the side.
Do your own thing.
Make more money and better moves.
Think about that.
No doubt. Real spit.
I thought we agreed to give B a key.
He ain't tell you I gave it to him?
- Nigga, you sold it to him.
- At a huge-ass discount.
Man, look, giving B a
key would have made him
feel like he's equal,
and he ain't, Meech.
He's just not.
And besides, I think he's fucking Kato.
Yeah. Exactly.
Why the fuck did you stand me up?
Huh? A'ight.
You got nothing to say.
You know what? Fuck it.
I'ma let Meech and Terry know
what the fuck we've been doin'.
Turn this shit off.
You getting cold feet or something?
No, I just figured you want more time
to spend with the other
nigga you been fucking.
What the hell are you talking about?
Look, I wasn't snooping,
'cause I know we ain't exclusive, but
if you just trying to
get your freak on, cool.
But I was kind of digging you.
And I thought you felt the same.
B, that ain't even what you think it is.
Then what the fuck is it?
My ex keeps hitting me about drug money.
It got pretty heated.
He hasn't hurt you, has he?
He gets froggy, but never leaps.
And that's why you've
been staying with me?
To hide from his ass?
I didn't want to get you involved.
A'ight.
Well, look, as long as you with me,
you ain't got shit to worry about.
I got you.
We both need someone
to trust in this game.
Yeah. I know that's right.
I can trust you, right?
Hell yeah.
'Cause Meech really made me
realize something tonight.
I don't know how much longer
I wanna work with him and Tee.
Just like I'm tired of
being a damn third wheel.
Then don't.
I'm with you, 100%.
Hmm. 100%?
A'ight, you probably did well
'cause she likes you, but
- Whatever.
- She does.
Anyways, I'm gonna hear it from my mom.
It'll be okay.
Come here.
What? My breath stink or something?
No. It's not you. It's him.
Is he gonna tell your brother?
I don't know, but I'm
tired of being followed.
Let's lose him at the arcade.
- Did we lose him?
- I think so.
That was so fun.
You want to try that kiss again?
- That was my first one.
- Really?
Well, second if you count the other one.
Hope you like 'em both.
Hey, um, something's happened
to your brother, so
- Well, what happened?
- You need to come with me.
- Come on.
- No. You that guy from
- from the mall.
- Come on. Let's go.
- No! No!
- Come here.
- Hey, hey. Let her go.
- Help!
Help, help, help please!
Help!
Help! Help! Help! Help! Help!
Please help!
I'm sorry, little man.
I gotta cut your water off.
Hey, what the hell's going on out there?
Hey, man!
Wait, wait, wait. Darius.
Darius, open your eyes.
Darius, please wake up.
- Somebody call the police!
- Help! Help! Help me!
- Call an ambulance.
- No, please open your eyes!
Open open your eyes,
please! Please help.
Call an ambulance!
Why you all just standing around?
We spend so much time
trying to prepare for graduation
that oftentimes,
we aren't prepared for what comes next.
I'm not paying you to think
about the big picture, nigga.
Tell me where the fuck my dope at,
and I give her back safely to Lamar.
The hospital's making
an offer for $25,000.
- That's a lot of doggone money.
- Not for our son's vision.
This here? Also done.
First, you would never
look in my vicinity.
Now, you show up and fuck me
like a damn old-school porno?
I might know some cats outside the hood
who might wanna holler.
Are you dealing drugs with your brother?
No.
Look, you know this
was not my fault, right?
Stay the hell away
from my fucking house.
Mo. Mo!
People are dead because of us.
And yeah, we didn't
pull the fucking trigger,
but we may as well have.
School was never my thing,
and my folks knew.
But I always showed up for picture day.
That's when everybody arrives
looking clean and all G'd up.
Dig that fellow in his
freshman class picture.
Yeah, I ain't make it
much further past that day.
My point is, people spend
a lotta time in school
trying to learn how
to better themselves.
Ain't much different than the streets.
You learn how to count
Do chemistry
Freeze! Hands where I can see 'em!
And participate in PE.
And the biggest difference
between the two
are the goals.
In the school of hard knocks,
if you ain't graduating,
yo' ass is dying.
Oh, snap, it's Meech.
Hey, yo. What up, doe?
What up, Little Curly?
No. Not-not little. Just Curly.
I'm 12, a'ight?
- What's up, man?
- Hey, yo, uh,
can you cop us a 40?
Man, you niggas don't even
got hair on y'all balls,
and y'all asking for a brew.
I'ma get you some pop.
Man, whatever. Yo, that man is crazy.
Hey, yo. We gotta go.
A'ight, Curly.
I got y'all two orange
Faygos and some Better Mades.
- You straight?
- Yeah, yeah, good lookin'.
Yeah, that's right. Run, bitch. Run!
You almost
just got killed, Meech.
But I didn't.
But what about the rest of our family?
And no one know where
Pops is staying still.
We still gotta get Nikki
and Mama out the crib.
This shit, man.
She poke her head out yet?
Shit, if she did I wouldn't know.
And honestly,
I ain't even trying to
see her ass right now.
A'ight, let's break this shit up
in halfies, quarters, and big eights.
- What you mean?
- We cooking and rockin' like always.
Hell no, nigga.
We don't got the bodies or time.
I'm not throwing away that much money.
Meech, we already got a system in place.
Niggas always looking for a
better price and product, Tee.
Look, Tiny's down for a
brick, and he turned me
onto his cousin Que from the north end,
which gonna grow our business even more.
Look, right now, we can't be
seen in these streets, bro.
We gonna be sitting ducks for Lamar.
Come on, man. Let's chop this shit up,
so I can meet Que at
the spot we just copped.
What's cracking, Brit?
Hey. That guy's been waiting
for you by the soul section.
What up, doe?
Anything I can play or wrap up for you?
No, just checking out your merch,
trying to see what kinda store this is.
Okay.
Well, we an independent
that focuses on all genres.
You know, you see it, we got it.
If you don't, we damn sure can get it.
No matter what it is.
When Tiny told me about
you, I was interested.
- Had no idea you just a kid.
- Yeah, well, shit.
My hustle make up for
whatever I'm lackin'.
Not to mention
I got that work.
Right.
Except I put my ear out to the streets,
and I ain't like what came back.
Word is, you snaked your last plug.
Well, you been in the game
long enough to know bullshit
when you hear it.
Thing is, you haven't.
Young'uns.
Always gonna make mistakes.
The kind I can't afford.
So what you saying?
I took this meeting
out of respect for Tiny,
so I ain't sayin' never,
but definitely not right now.
What's up, Mr. Ryan?
Do you think you can get
me in the college fair?
The event's for juniors and seniors.
We're at capacity.
Come on, Mr. Ryan. Is
there anything I can do?
What's going on with you?
Nothing.
I just I need something
to focus my attention on.
Well, look, I can't get you
in the event as a student.
But I may need some help
setting up the event.
You do that,
maybe I'll introduce you to
some admissions directors,
including my old college roommate,
who represents Western
Michigan University.
Okay. Thank you.
Thank you so much, um
Do-do I need to do
anything, bring anything?
No, no, just come to
the auditorium at 11:00
to help me set up,
and be ready to discuss
who you are as a person.
Yeah, don't even trip. I got you.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
All I'm saying is, you don't
see me inviting Mr. Ryan
to bowling parties and
hanging out in his office.
Oh.
Yo, get the fuck outta here with that.
Mr. Ryan just be putting
me on game, a'ight?
Oh, I'm sure he does.
I'ma fuck you up with that
fucking Daniel-san bullshit.
What up?
What's up, man?
Mama, you okay?
I know you in there.
Nicole brought you
some food, Ma. Open up.
I'm fine. I don't want nothin'!
Come on, Ma. It's an emergency.
I said I don't want nothing!
Go away!
She ain't been out her
room or talked to nobody.
Like, I don't know what's wrong.
I got an idea.
Yes, Lord.
How many times I gotta
tell you, you can't stay here
if you running these fast-tail girls
up in and out of here and
smoking on that reefer?
Pastor, I don't be doing
nothing in here, I swear.
Look here, son. I got
a nose for two things,
and what I'm smellin' You
paid way too much for both.
But I do have a church to protect.
A big church.
The good Lord thanks you
for that benevolent offering, brother.
Bet he does.
Thanks for waiting for
me, Brother Flenory.
Only got $5 on me.
That's fine, Pastor. I'm
not here for the money.
I'm working for the Lord.
Matthew 20:4, he shall
pay what is right.
That's not exactly
how the scripture goes.
I know, brother. I'm just testin' you,
making sure you've
been reading your Bible.
- What's up?
- It's Mama.
- Thank you, Pastor.
- Yes, Lord.
I've been up there a while.
Your mama ain't talkin'.
Someone wanna tell me what
the hell's goin' on around here?
Terry, your mouth still work?
- Pops, listen
- Is your name Terry?
Um, Ma
M-Ma found out that I've
been selling drugs with Meech.
You brought drugs in my house?
No disrespect, Pops, but you
ain't exactly been livin' here.
- Motherfucker!
- Pop, Pop, Pop
This is still my goddamn house!
A'ight, something happen.
We got some people
looking out after y'all.
Like you did before.
Yeah, but this is worse, Pops.
This about that guy
from the mall, ain't it?
- No.
- What guy?
We was at the mall, and
this guy approached Terry.
Look, Pops, maybe you should just take
Mama and Nicole to Ohio for a minute.
Not until you tell me what y'all done
that I gotta move my
family out the house
I built with my own two hands.
Hmm?
Pops, please.
Pops.
I'm coming too, Dad.
This is why I told you
we shouldn't have kidnapped Lamar's kid.
Man, we ain't kidnap nobody.
We ain't tape nobody mouth shut.
I fed that little girl ice cream, man.
Fuck is you talking about?
We took her without
her parents' permission,
which, by definition,
is kidnapping, Meech.
Okay, so it was a soft kidnappin'.
Soft kidnappin'? Really, bro?
Soft kidnappin'. Fuck.
What you know, good
niggas? What the fuck?
Niggas got 40s and no cups?
Bitch, this ain't Bennigan's.
Better hit that shit from the neck.
Motherfucker, I am not
drinking after y'all niggas.
I know y'all be eating pussy
that smell like mop water.
Come on now. Come on now.
- What up, doe?
- About to hit up the Flenorys.
I need y'all to do me a favor.
I want you to go and
distract his bodyguards.
Sound like a personal problem to me.
Nigga, shut the fuck up
'fore I choke your ass out again.
Homie, you got me fucked up.
You think I'm scared of
your little punk-ass pistol?
Put a S on that, motherfucker.
Uh-uh. A'ight, listen.
All y'all motherfuckers
need to put this shit down right now.
- Fuck that.
- Old school time is up.
And since you rollin' with him
- Uh-huh.
- So's yours.
Man, I got a fucking gun too, homie.
We can both die here tonight.
Yo, the hook at four o'clock!
- Oh. Oh, oh, oh.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, tag, niggas.
- Yo, let's go, go.
I'm it. Go on! I'll find you.
Guess I showed up just in time.
Well, you know how it is
when niggas ain't seen you for a minute.
- What up, doe?
- I'm good.
Can you tell your boy Lionel
Ritchie to take a hike?
Oh, sticks and stones, big dog.
Sticks and stones.
Let this nigga know I be
more stones than sticks.
Five. Four. Three.
- Muscle-mouthed motherfucker.
- Two.
You know the drill.
Man, I'm clean.
You check behind my ears if you want to.
See, I don't see it that way.
See, I got bodies turning
up, people going MIA,
and then there's that little shootout
that happened this morning.
Detective, I'm a changed man.
Lamar, you stupid.
And stupid always get caught.
Tag, nigga. Now I'm it.
What did you and Demetrius do
that requires us to leave our house?
Terry, you're also a
father yourself now.
What if Terry Jr. Did
something to affect
the safety of your family?
How would you feel?
Tee? Where you at, Tee?
For someone with no key,
you sure know how to
find your way up in here.
- You want me to leave?
- Doesn't matter.
You gonna come back any
time you ready anyway.
Yo, I ain't tell Pops
shit, but we need to.
Que passed on us, man.
Pat's been bad-mouthing us, Tee.
Let's go back to
what we know selling 50s.
I told you already.
That shit don't make no sense
when Lamar still on our heads.
Then fuck it. Then let's
franchise out to our crew.
We give 'em each a bag.
They get they own people to move it.
You and I, we'll still be invisible.
Shit, we'd be like
Pat, and they'd be us.
We tried your way.
And I'm all for yours,
but not with five bricks.
Give B-Mickie one. We gon'
split the rest two-two.
The hell you mean,
give B-Mickie a brick?
TB been with us since day one.
I'm not rewarding no
nigga for going MIA.
And I still ain't forget
about the Jay Mo shit, a'ight?
Man, why the fuck you
always gotta be so damn hard?
A'ight? Just listen. Damn.
Just give it to him, man.
I'll work out the rest.
I'ma see how I feel, Meech, a'ight?
I'ma see how I feel.
Give B-Mickie a brick.
Nigga, are you crazy?
Get your ass
out of my car, nigga.
I'll give that nigga
somethin' not a brick.
I swear to God, I'm gonna stomp
Tiny's fucking kidneys out.
Hey, look, man. You ain't wrong, nigga,
but if you keep on putting
Tiny's fat ass on notice,
he gonna keep his eye out on you.
Plus, he got the whole
crew behind him right now.
Fuck them! Fuck them traitors.
And fuck them
light-skinned-ass pretty boys,
a'ight, with their fucking
super-security-having asses.
Nigga, this shit only happened
because they got the fuckin' drop on me.
Because you gave up the stash.
Look, homie, Meech had Zoe.
The motherfucker said he was gonna
cut her fucking head off, man.
What the fuck was I
supposed to do, nigga?
Look, man, you can get everything back,
plus your fucking
family, but not right now.
Right now, you way too fuckin' angry.
You ain't even seein' shit straight.
You patched shit up with Monique before.
You can do that shit again,
and then after you do that,
me and you can cut off
Meech and Terry's water for good.
You hear me?
No?
See, motherfuckers can live
without a lot of shit, homie.
No heat, you can give a bitch a blanket.
No electric,
light a fuckin' candle or some shit.
But you cut off a motherfucker's water?
That's a wrap.
Nigga can't wash the
dishes, wash his ass,
or use the shitter.
You feel me?
I like that. Yeah, I like that a lot.
But if this shit go wrong,
Meech and Terry ain't
gonna be the only niggas
with their water cut off.
Oh, shit.
Damn, girl.
You got that thing.
Shut up.
You want a hot towel?
A hot towel and hot sex?
What you tryin' and do, get me whipped?
Why you covering up like that?
'Cause, nigga, I don't want
you looking all up in my grits.
I was just all in them grits.
It's me, nigga. Open the door.
Dog. Come on.
Put a shirt on with that
bird-ass chest of yours.
- Man, please.
- Man, fuck you.
All right.
So I've been meaning to ask you.
Now, I know that ain't the heater
you popped Jay Mo with.
Hell no.
I tossed it in the river
after I anchored Jay Mo down.
Okay.
Not in the same fucking
place though, right?
Fuck no, nigga. I ain't stupid.
You know, I can't tell,
given this bullshit
situation you put us in.
What the hell is this?
We gonna show you
some love on the price.
You buggin', right?
I thought your ass'd actually be happy.
You getting a chance to make some cheese
for yourself, nigga.
A'ight, just hit me when I
need to hit you up, a'ight?
A'ight.
Oh, and, um I need
you to do me a favor.
Let me guess.
You need help cookin'
them shits up, too, huh?
A'ight.
I'ma show love on the price too.
Love is love, right?
Fo sho.
Dirty-ass hand.
Why don't you go and put
some fucking clothes on?
It's my crib. Hey, close my door.
Little bird-ass chest.
Guess we about to come up, huh?
Yeah.
You can't be serious.
L-look, Monique, please
just hear me out, a'ight?
There was nothin' I could
do about Meech's crazy ass.
All I'm askin' is that
you just give me a chance,
and I can make it up to you.
Please.
It'll be a cold day in hell
'fore I forgive your ass again.
I apologize.
What the hell else you want me to do?
Get the fuck away from my house
before I get a restraining
order on your nutty ass!
- Let me go!
- Open the fucking door!
Let me the fuck go!
You motherfucker! Open the fucking door!
Hey!
Monique, open the fucking door, bitch.
Yo! You fuckin' with the wrong one.
I ain't-I ain't Meech, 'cause
I will put my motherfucking foot
up in your fuckin' ass, bitch!
Open this goddamn door! Monique!
Bitch, you got me lookin'
like a crazy motherfucker
up in this bitch.
Monique! Mo!
He warped. He wildin' out.
Yo, man
he trippin', man!
Nigga, you know what you doing?
Yo, we gotta move both of these bricks,
so everybody's getting one.
Yeah, I don't know
about that nigga Dink.
He ain't the sharpest tool in the shed.
Shit, that nigga's gonna
have to learn how to be.
Yo, everybody, get in here.
Yo, listen up.
As you grow in the dope game,
the motherfuckers around
you gotta do the same.
Today is graduation.
Everybody's gonna get they own sack.
Hell yeah.
That's what I'm talking about, nigga.
- Let's get it.
- Hold up, hold up.
- What's the pay difference?
- From now on,
you make your money
off the sack I give you.
So as long as you come back
with the number I say, we good.
So we like independent contractors?
Kinda, sorta, but think of it
more like the new
little Terry and Meeches.
- Straight up.
- Okay, so it's like
- some army shit, for real.
- Yeah.
I mean we done did more before
11:00 than most motherfuckers.
Oh, shit. It's 11:00? Yo,
hold it down for me, B.
You were supposed to help set up.
I know. I-I'm so sorry. I
just had some drama at home.
All right. Come on.
Terry, this is Mr. Tolbert.
- Hey.
- Pleasure to meet you.
Mr. Ryan's told me
good things about you.
Likewise, sir.
Well, to succeed in school,
a student has to burn some midnight oil.
Gotta shed those
blood, sweat, and tears.
Can you give me an example of a class
or an assignment where you've done that?
Come on, Tee.
I'm preppin' for my this
college fair today, you know,
'cause I had my usual
classwork last night,
but then I had to stay up a little extra
to prep for my responses.
Good answer.
Yeah.
Uh, tell me about your work history.
Uh, work, work, work.
Uh, I-I'm sorry. I'm a little nervous.
Relax.
This isn't an admissions interview.
I just wanna find out
a little more about you.
Tell me about the greatest
challenge you've had to face.
Ma, I'm not dealing drugs with Meech.
I'm not.
People are dead because of us.
Yeah, I-I'm sorry. I
can't do this right now.
One second. Terry!
You came into my office
and begged me to give
you this opportunity.
Then you show up unprepared like this.
I-I know. I'm sorry, Mr. Ryan.
It's just a lot on my plate right now.
Okay, Terry, that doesn't cut it.
Get your head in the game
before you wreck your future.
I sold you a brick for scraps
so you could be top dog.
I did what you suggested
Turned our backs on Lamar.
But you also sent
me to a bogus-ass meeting
with a fake-ass nigga.
Hey, Que said everything was cool.
Then he heard somethin' on
the way that gave him pause.
Well, I guess y'all not
as tight as you said.
Man, you better help Que
see the fucking light.
Otherwise, you won't
hold that seat for long.
Is that a threat?
Just a reality check, nigga.
A'ight.
I'll holler at him tomorrow
at the gambling spot.
- What spot?
- Off Davison, in H-P.
Yes ♪
How you feelin'?
Both of our boys are
wrapped up in the streets.
I feel like a failure as a parent.
What we not gonna do
is have a pity party
while we still got time to save Terry.
Charles, Terry is selling drugs.
He's also going to school every day
and taking care of his son,
which means all hope's not lost.
We just need to get
him away from Demetrius.
That boy's been
attached to his brother's hip
since he came into this world.
What if we used the money
the hospital was offering
to send Terry to a school
down South somewhere?
He ain't gonna do nothing
but get on a bus and come right back.
Look, I know it sounds like a longshot,
but I truly believe we can
save Terry if we act fast.
But what about Demetrius?
Do you really believe we
have a chance at Demetrius?
Lucille, we gotta do what we
gotta do to save this family.
Hey, yo. We hungry. Can
we get something to eat?
I mean, we've been at it all day.
Yo, yo, yo. Get the fuck outta here.
The fuck are you talking about?
Hey, yo, real talk, I'm hungry too.
Let's make a Coney run.
Yo, that's some bullshit.
How the hell we gonna get paid
if we gotta feed these
little-ass niggas?
Costs to be the boss, baby.
Kato, that some bullshit.
This ain't the goddamn daycare.
Uh, holler holler at
them if you need some action.
Actually, I'm gonna need
you to gimme all of that.
Or I'ma beat your ass and take it.
Hey, yo, I gave that bag to you, Dink.
Not some fuckin' shorty
you left on the block
with all the work.
Now, where the fuck was you at, Sockie?
- Yo, my bad, dog.
- This shit is crazy.
Niggas is leaving they
posts, showing up late
like niggas don't grind
10:00 to 10:00 out here.
What the fuck is going on? Huh?
Our rules were created to guide y'all.
How the hell y'all supposed to win
when everybody's just
out there freestyling?
Threatening the integrity of a name
that I bust my fuckin' ass to build?
I thought you gave us authority
to manage as we see fit.
- You thought wrong!
- Nigga, why are you mad at us
when the nigga who did this shit
and everything else is
still out there, hmm?
- The fuck you just say to me?
- Nigga, you heard me.
The fuck is going on?
Hey, don't say shit. Don't say shit.
Fuck!
Man, what the fuck has
gotten into you, man?
Dink's runner got ganked.
Nigga, so what? That's on Dink.
Nigga, the product in the bag
has our fucking name on it.
No, the fuck it's not.
We ain't the 50 Boyz no more, man.
What the fuck are we, Meech?
I don't know, but we
graduated from that shit.
Yeah? We graduated? We graduated?
We still haven't moved past Lamar,
'cause that's the nigga who
stole they fucking stash.
Oh, fuck.
Yeah, fuck.
Yo, we gotta do something, man,
or it's gonna be the food
trucks all over again.
You know what? Pull the detail on me.
Fuck it.
Nigga, please.
That crazy muh-fucker
already pressed you once.
Who's to say he ain't gonna do
that shit again with his boys?
Man, that midnight-looking
motherfucker run up on me,
I'ma lay his crazy ass the fuck down.
Yeah. He's a lone wolf, man.
That nigga lost his crew.
A'ight, so where the hell
we at with the bricks?
Tiny and I are gonna meet Que tomorrow,
try and seal the deal.
I got this.
No doubt.
Karen, thank you for coming over
on such short notice.
We-we're ready to
accept the $25,000 offer
the hospital made.
Oh, I'm sorry,
but that settlement
offer's been rescinded.
I went over this when
they made the offer.
It had a time limit.
- That's bullshit.
- Watch your mouth.
How she gonna let them pull
the offer without notifying us?
She our doggone lawyer.
Mr. Flenory
Now, this is some
shady backroom business.
I'm sorry, but I don't
get paid until you do.
We should have never let Pastor Shifty
convince us to take on a
conniving rookie lawyer.
Okay, look, I have fought
relentlessly for your son.
If you fought relentlessly,
we'd have some damn
money in our pockets.
I'm afraid I'm gonna have to leave.
- Karen, please. Charles is just
- Sorry, Mrs. Flenory. We're done.
My assistant will send over
the termination of representation file.
What is it with you and this damn gun?
You almost look like you dating it.
Oh, this saved my mother
from a abusive relationship.
Watched over me countless nights
crossing enemy territory.
Shit. Sealed countless deals.
This ain't a gat. It's family.
On that note, I'll
give y'all some space.
I need to get some
clean clothes anyways,
unless you want me
funking up your place.
I like your funk.
As a matter of fact, I like
it so much I'll ride with you.
Know I can't let a ass
like that outta my sight.
Besides, we always hang here.
I ain't never even seen your spot.
Damn, boy. Catching feelings and shit.
I mean, you been here for a minute.
Are you tellin' me you ain't?
I mean, I'm just tryin' to
figure out what we doing.
Are we kickin' it, or are we
We need some more time for this convo,
so we might as well roll.
Your ass is driving. I'm not driving.
Are your parents here?
No, and neither are them damn guards.
You got something you want to ask me?
My dad says when you find a good woman,
you should treat her
like the beautiful child of God she is.
If that's your way of asking me
to be your girlfriend,
then the answer is yes.
I-I think we're supposed to kiss now.
Now, Darius, you seem
like a nice kid and all,
but, um, get the fuck out.
What the hell? You
know the rules, Nicky.
Meech brought girls up to
y'all room all the time.
- What's the problem?
- First of all, you not Meech.
- You my baby sister.
- Tch.
And what the hell were
y'all doing in here
that you can't do on the front porch?
Them damn guards keep spying on us.
That's their damn job.
I feel like I'm in prison.
When this gonna be over?
Come here.
Not too much longer. I promise.
Whatever.
Yo, 'Mar.
'Mar, you here? Good, man.
Get the fuck away from
this black ass nigga.
Who they are ♪
Oh, yeah.
So fight on hard ♪
Don't ever stop, no ♪
It's my destiny ♪
Damn, boy.
You over here sounding like
the missing Temptation and shit.
I ain't even know you was here, man.
How'd everything go
with Monique and shit?
She cut my water off.
Made me realize the most
precious thing in the world
to me is my family,
so I'm gonna bury
somebody that Meech
and Terry care about.
You sure that's the best idea?
You know, the more
heat you bring on them,
it's gonna make it harder for us to do
what we need to do
and shit, you feel me?

Ooh.

You got postcards of
the Renaissance Center?
Hell yeah. It's a symbol of Detroit.
- You ever been?
- Hell no.
What? Let's go. Let's go one day.
Let's meet there tonight.
We can get dinner. Yeah?
Come on. You gonna love it.
I promise. Give me a
sec. I'll be right out.
- Oh, yeah?
- Okay. Okay.
Y'all think you gonna
teach us new tricks?
Naw, I'm trying to take
some of the old dogs' cheese, man.
- Oh!
- Okay, then!
- Throw them bones, man.
- Hey, baby. What you got?
- Ah.
- Uh-huh. Damn, Meech.
Those 50 Boyz fingers
ain't wise enough yet, Jack.
You guys, come on.
It's a grown man table.
Hey, I got five you don't.
What, 500?
We bet thousands out here, homie.
Oh, I know; I'm just
trying to make sure you do
if I take your motherfucking cheese.
- Is that right?
- Oh!
- Money?
- Oh, what you bring?
Y'all work to the spot and shit?
What the fuck have they
got going on right here?
- Yeah. Yeah. Bet it. Run that.
- Whassup?
I know y'all OGs ain't
chickening out on me now.
Not at all. Hell naw. You got the dice?
- Hey, look. I ain't never
- Enough of that.
I hope you know what you doin.
Thought y'all was having this shit.
Bet it all, then, brother.
I ain't say nothing.
Hey, hey, watch his face when he ace.
Southwest all day, baby!
- Oh, oh.
- Yeah.
Wait, wait, he gotta run that back.
- Don't get excited yet.
- Come on, man.
No, you're too hype. Double up. Come on.
Do it twice or you ain't nice.
Come on, man. Nothin'.
Let's go. Let's go.
Let's go.
- Mmm!
- God
Give me all that shit.
Give me all this
motherfuckin' money, man.
- I want all that shit, nigga.
- That's it for me.
It's gonna be a party
somewhere tonight though, right?
- For sure it is.
- Ha ha, yo, dawg. I see you.
You know that.
You know I still ain't
change my mind yet, right?
Sure, that's cool.
But you bet against me, and I won.
So I'ma get a lot of business in here.
I'ma keep on winning too.
Shit, ain't a lot of
business up in here.
Look
I know you one of the
gateways to Detroit.
That's where I'm
headed and then some.
You think you gonna take over the world?
I'm just focused on the D first,
but hell yeah.
A'ight. Let's make this money.
Let's get it.
How long you been selling drugs
with your brother?
She ain't asking me.
I ain't never sold a drug in my life.
- Ever since Meech started.
- Why, Terry?
Why would you do that?
I
I don't know.
I guess I got I got
tired of how we were living.
Your mother and I busted our butt
to give you everything you needed.
And I'm not knocking that, Pops,
but there's a difference
between Toughskins and Levi's.
A difference between French dressin'
or mayo mixed with ketchup dressin'.
Y'all work four jobs,
and we still can't afford
to pay a mortgage on a house
that, Pops, you built by hand?
Poverty is not a
scapegoat for immorality.
Mama, people are gonna
get high regardless.
If somebody's gonna get paid,
it might as well be me and Meech.
That's the most ignorant thing
I've ever heard come out of your mouth.
How's looking out for my own family,
as opposed to some random
user I don't know, ignorant?
The money me and Meech
make is enough to cover
three mortgages, two luxury cars,
and however many field
trips Nicky want to go on.
The choices we make in this life
will affect us in the next.
Selling drugs is one thing,
but that ain't all y'all doing,
or else we wouldn't be in danger.
Y'all murder somebody?
Naw. We ain't kill nobody.
The path you on right now
got us worried about your soul.
And we can't protect you from that.
- Tear that ass up.
- You better.
Take this shit off.
Oh, right there.
Yeah. Yeah.
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
Look, when I found out
some of y'all was cutting corners,
I ain't gonna lie, I took it personal.
I did.
But, you know, just
like any other business,
if you ain't growin', you losing.
And I hate losin' more than anything,
so for that reason in particular,
I'm loosening the reins.
50 Boyz are no more.
Yeah. Right. So what
y'all do with the work?
That's on you.
As long as y'all come
back with our loot,
I don't give a fuck what you do.
Well, shit, if we ain't
called the 50 Boyz no more,
what we gonna call ourself?
The hell I'm 'posed to do with this?
Hey, at least the popo
can't scope us no more.
Hey, hey, what if we call ourselves
the Detroit Go-Getters?
Oh, that's That's
wack as fuck, nigga.
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
What about the Southwest Playas?
Nigga, that shit sound like the name
of a senior citizen club.
- Hell nah.
- A'ight, I'm done.
How about The Family?
- A'ight.
- That's that works.
It's not terrible.
Hey, look, we might as well jam out.
Sockie, come on, get us right.
- That's what I'm talking about.
- Yeah.
- Play the tunes, Sockie.
- You know it.
- That's what I'm talking about.
- Hey, let's do it right.
Hey, hey.
Yo, I'm sick and tired of
being left in the dark, a'ight?
You and Tee copped this record store,
and I ain't know shit about it.
You was MIA, a'ight?
We had to get a spot to
post up in, so we got this.
I feel like I'm being punished
for checking in for my moms.
Y'all fronting me bricks like
I'm a damn corner boy and shit?
Fuck up with that?
We've been over this, dog.
All right, nigga, you my nigga for life.
You been with us since day one,
but the structure of our crew
is the structure of our crew, a'ight?
Now, look at it this way.
With the price we giving you?
Nigga, you can make your
own money on the side.
Do your own thing.
Make more money and better moves.
Think about that.
No doubt. Real spit.
I thought we agreed to give B a key.
He ain't tell you I gave it to him?
- Nigga, you sold it to him.
- At a huge-ass discount.
Man, look, giving B a
key would have made him
feel like he's equal,
and he ain't, Meech.
He's just not.
And besides, I think he's fucking Kato.
Yeah. Exactly.
Why the fuck did you stand me up?
Huh? A'ight.
You got nothing to say.
You know what? Fuck it.
I'ma let Meech and Terry know
what the fuck we've been doin'.
Turn this shit off.
You getting cold feet or something?
No, I just figured you want more time
to spend with the other
nigga you been fucking.
What the hell are you talking about?
Look, I wasn't snooping,
'cause I know we ain't exclusive, but
if you just trying to
get your freak on, cool.
But I was kind of digging you.
And I thought you felt the same.
B, that ain't even what you think it is.
Then what the fuck is it?
My ex keeps hitting me about drug money.
It got pretty heated.
He hasn't hurt you, has he?
He gets froggy, but never leaps.
And that's why you've
been staying with me?
To hide from his ass?
I didn't want to get you involved.
A'ight.
Well, look, as long as you with me,
you ain't got shit to worry about.
I got you.
We both need someone
to trust in this game.
Yeah. I know that's right.
I can trust you, right?
Hell yeah.
'Cause Meech really made me
realize something tonight.
I don't know how much longer
I wanna work with him and Tee.
Just like I'm tired of
being a damn third wheel.
Then don't.
I'm with you, 100%.
Hmm. 100%?
A'ight, you probably did well
'cause she likes you, but
- Whatever.
- She does.
Anyways, I'm gonna hear it from my mom.
It'll be okay.
Come here.
What? My breath stink or something?
No. It's not you. It's him.
Is he gonna tell your brother?
I don't know, but I'm
tired of being followed.
Let's lose him at the arcade.
- Did we lose him?
- I think so.
That was so fun.
You want to try that kiss again?
- That was my first one.
- Really?
Well, second if you count the other one.
Hope you like 'em both.
Hey, um, something's happened
to your brother, so
- Well, what happened?
- You need to come with me.
- Come on.
- No. You that guy from
- from the mall.
- Come on. Let's go.
- No! No!
- Come here.
- Hey, hey. Let her go.
- Help!
Help, help, help please!
Help!
Help! Help! Help! Help! Help!
Please help!
I'm sorry, little man.
I gotta cut your water off.
Hey, what the hell's going on out there?
Hey, man!
Wait, wait, wait. Darius.
Darius, open your eyes.
Darius, please wake up.
- Somebody call the police!
- Help! Help! Help me!
- Call an ambulance.
- No, please open your eyes!
Open open your eyes,
please! Please help.
Call an ambulance!
Why you all just standing around?
We spend so much time
trying to prepare for graduation
that oftentimes,
we aren't prepared for what comes next.
