Pledge allegiance to
the Black Mafia Family!
[ALL] To the Black Mafia Family!
I finally got a steady supply.
Nigga, we gon' set up
shop in other cities
and take over the fuckin' nation.
[PERSON] You and me, we are friends, eh?
- Partner.
- Partner, partnership.
Get this Colombian
cocksucker out my face.
He now owes this
Colombian connect 20 mil
and refuses to pay.
100 keys up front, and
we'll be re-upping in a week.
300 kilos.
[PERSON] Holy shit.
This mentorship is over, nigga.
You're a boss now.
You aren't trying to play me, are you?
No, nigga, you trippin'. Let me go.
What are you thinking, huh?
I'ma personally put that crunchy ass
nigga Lamar on the wrong
side of the grass for good.
[PERSON] You don't
deserve the easy way out.
It's time for us to take
this show on the road, Tee,
and head back down South.
What happened to womb to the tomb?
We'll still be womb to the
tomb, just 700 miles apart.
Remi Ransom, nigga.
And make sure you spell my shit right.
[GUNFIRE]
[PERSON] Hey, y'all
hey, get him off the car.
[PERSON] Where the fuck
is Ty Washington at?
Oh, shit. Meech, He's over here!
Somebody get some help, man.
That's your kingdom now, Tee.
[GOLDIE] I need you to
go down to Magic City
and ask for this dude
named Rodney Green.
You tell him Goldie sent you.
[PERSON] This is Detective Veronica Jin
joining us from Southfield.
Your new partner Bryant here
can catch you up to speed.
Marcus Lloyd has been bullying Kevin,
roughing him up, stealing his
shoes, ruining his cartoons.
[PERSON] Hear you got a new safe.
[BRYANT] Stand down! That's my son!
[KEVIN] Dad, I messed up.
[PERSON] An investigation
will be launched immediately.
Hand over your gun and badge.
I'm doing this for Kevin,
not your trifling ass.
Baby, please. I have
to be up in three hours.
We ain't been together
in over three weeks.
Just treat yourself to
something you want to do.
Hey, what the hell's wrong with you?
A receipt from the EZ Rest Motel?
Maybe it's a good thing I got caught.
Maybe God is giving us a second chance,
just not with each other.
Come here.
[TERRY] I wish I could stay here forever
and just do this over,
and over, and over again.
[PERSON] But I'ma say this
once and one time only
Stay the fuck away from Boom's bitch.

[OLDER MEECH] When we first
started out, me and Tee was one family,
Detroit versus everybody.
But shit changed.
[OLDER TERRY] It'd been
two years since we spoke.
We had different opinions
'bout how we got here.
I felt he'd been too
flashy in the clubs,
lettin' his boys run wild,
and taunting the five-o
with the billboards.
[OLDER MEECH] But really we got indicted
'cause Tee had been running
his big mouth on the phone
while the fucking feds was listening.
Shit, I'm flashy, but
also smart as fuck.
And that's why my run was
longer than any Black man
in the history of the cocaine game.

Lucky people don't have a 22-year run.
[METAL CLANKING]
- [DOOR BUZZES]
- Man, you lost weight.
Been fasting, praying.
I'm taking the plea.
And hopefully, while we doing time,
something will work in our
favor to bring us home early.
I ain't taking no plea.
I'm going to trial.
I'm going with God.
You know, that's funny
because I was talking to God,
and he told me to tell
you to take the plea.
Look, I don't want Mom and Pop
seeing us get a life sentence.
I don't want that for Mom
and Pops either, nigga.
- But what the fu
- But nothing, nigga.
The feds got nothing on
me and everything on you.
And I'm still willing to take it
so I can have a date to
work with and come home.
When you gonna take
responsibility for
Responsibility, nigga?
Who the fuck you talking to, nigga?
[SIRENS WAILING]

Don't-don't say that.
You're gonna make it.

Blood pressure is dropping.

Come on, come on, baby.
Please. Please, Markisha!
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS]

[CHARLES] Terry.
Thank God you're still with us.
What happened?
We-we were stopped at a light.
Somebody came, and they
started shooting at us.
- Markisha, she might not make it.
- Markisha?
Nigga, that's exactly what the fuck
you get for fucking
a bitch who's married
and got kids by another street nigga.
- Married?
- Yes.
God help us.
The apple don't fall far from the tree.
Lucille, this is not
the time or the place.
You know what, I hope
that old bitch dies.
LaWanda, how can you

I'm a mother too, in case you forgot.
I'm the one that's pregnant
with your second child
while you get your your dick wet
on the side with that bitch.
Yo, I-I can't deal with
this shit right now.
Can you guys just leave? Please.

Why you got to be so stupid?
Meech moved to Atlanta,

Ty was holding us down, but

we've been scrambling to find work.
I got pure weight coming down

me and my bro received.
Man, you got the talk down,
but do you got the walk down?
All day, nigga.
I've been taking care
of my niece and Ty's kids
ever since he got smoked.
Ty was my family too, and
I'm not trying to replace him.
But I damn sure know he
wouldn't want me to leave
y'all blowing in the wind
either, which is why he
blessed me to work with y'all.
Man, he ain't never tell me that shit.
Man, I ain't fuckin' with your ass.
Man, let's get the fuck out of here.

Yo, Stacks was the link to
all of Ty's distributors.
Without him, you're dead in
the water on Ty's network.
And we're in a three-way
tussle with them Techwood Boyz,

The Haitian cuckoo bird
Glock runs the Miami Killas.
They got the guns.
MKs killing niggas with choppers,
trying to run Remi's Techwood
Boyz out they projects.
We're just trying to get
in where we fit in, Meech.

Ah, shit!
[ALL YELLING]
[MEECH] In 1990, Atlanta won the bid
to host the '96 Olympic games.
Wanting to present an
illusion of being crime
and poverty free, city
officials tasked none other
than the Red Dogs to clean the streets.
The Red Dogs were a police
unit formed in the late '80s
by PD chief Eldrin Bell
during Mayor Maynard Jackson's
third term in office.
Red Dog stood for
And these motherfuckers
had a green light
to violate our civil
rights anytime, anyplace.
I wasn't on their radar yet,
but it was just a matter of time.

- [CHARLES] You OK, Lucille?
- [LUCILLE] I'm fine.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYS]

[CHARLES] Everything's
gonna be OK. I promise.

I used to feel so safe in your arms.
I wish I could take away the
pain and hurt I caused you.
Yeah.
I want to move forward with the divorce.
I love you, Lucille.
And I know that you still love me.
I could feel it when I was holding you.
I think
I think you should find
a new place to live.
Hey, hey, hey.
Divorces take time and money.
And we barely making enough
to keep the lights on as it is.
I can't afford to rent someplace else.
It won't cost you anything
to sleep on the couch.
I'm not sleeping on no couch.
This is still my house.
You stopped being the head
of this house a long time ago.
And every time I lay next to you,
all I see is you inside Mabel.

[KEVIN] When do I get to come home?
I put in a request for a bail hearing.
You'll meet the judge and
convince him you're a good kid.
You just got to be yourself.
Comb your hair, brush your teeth,
and I'll bring your suit.
- They'll let me go after?
- Soon as I get a good lawyer.
[KEVIN] I finished a new page.
Bruiser got his powers taken,
and now he has to figure out
a new way to beat his enemies.
Well, I'm sure Bruiser
will figure it out.
Good guys always win. Right, kid?
Right.

- [PHONE RINGING]
- [TYPEWRITER KEYS CLACKING]
Fucking asshole.
Just when I thought my
day couldn't get any worse.
Miss me?
Since you got suspended for
suppressing a murder weapon
and creating a public
scandal, I got suspended
from DRANO while they
investigate both of us.
That ain't shit.
If I don't fix this mess with Kevin,
he goes to juvie, where
he'll be eaten alive.
Yeah, well, knowing you,
you'll figure something out.
[BRYANT CHUCKLES]
- [TENSE MUSIC PLAYS]
-

Terry and B-Mickie are free men.
Meech got a going-away party.
But my boy is drawing
cartoons behind bars.

Damn right I'll figure it out.

[HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYS]
[HOOP] I ain't heard shit from Tee,
and the clients keep pressing me.
They worried about all the
heat coming from five-o.
Yo, we got weight to
move. Oh, I'm sorry.
You're not done talking
out the side of y'all necks?
Ah, shit, look.
Hoop, look, about the other day,
it's just, with everything going on
Man, you talked to me like a ho
and didn't leave no
money on the nightstand.
- What's up?
- That's me, my fault.
I was just trying to talk
to you like my right hand.
So look, you-you gonna to
stay and rock with me or what?
Yeah. Detroit all day, nigga.
All right. Since we're starting
off with a clean slate, listen.
Meech called. He want me
to bring down half of his weight
so Ty's old crew can move it for him.
[TERRY] Oh, my God.
This nigga Demetrius ain't even here,
and he's still trying to call the shots.
And why the fuck is he calling you?
Hey, calm down. I'm just a messenger.
But, dawg, he still Meech.
He's just gonna keep
calling and calling.
All right, go on.
Just don't do no dumb shit.
And dress right, please.
Got a suit just for the occasion.
Hey, yo, don't smoke
no weed on that road.
Pss, all right.
What up, doe?
Between you and me, I've
been moving my shit fine.
So long as you keep it
flowing, we straight.
All right, bet.
So how you gon' keep that tap
on with K-9 singing like a canary?
Motherfucker might
snitch on you and Meech.
When we stole his Colombian
plug, he ain't cap us.
I doubt he's gonna mention our name.
Yo, Rollie.
I need you to load the stash cars.
We switched the stashes up so five-o
won't be able to find nothing
if anybody get pinched.
And get some of these guys to keep eyes
on the police staging
areas so the clients can
move their shit and Meech
can get back his work.
[ROLAND] A'ight, come on,
guys. Let's get this money.
[TERRY] Fuck, um

- You got eyes on Saint yet?
- Yeah, I got the guys on it.
I'll let you know when
I get a line on him.
All right. That's great.
Look, when you find that motherfucker,
I'ma be the one to pull the trigger.
Yeah, so.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS]

[HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYS]
Hey, partner.

- Partner?
- Yes, ma'am.
Detective Cobie Amberson.
Any relation to Councilman Amberson?
Yeah, he's my dad.
Great detective skills.
Good old-fashioned nepotism.
Explains why a baby like you
got fast-tracked to detective.
I don't like entitled assholes either.
In fact, it's why I don't
speak to my parents anymore.
I had the money and the
resources to be anything I wanted.
But instead, I chose to be here.
Ladies, ladies! Mm, mm, mm.
Garr wants you to go
down to the hospital
and talk to Terry Flenory's
side piece once she's stable.
She got lit up in a drive-by with him.
So I get let go from the task force,
- but I get your crumbs?
- Ouch, I felt that here.
But I'm too busy chasing bigger fish,
like the names K-9 gave up,
which doesn't include Terry Flenory.
Just so you know, the
only reason why K-9 even
snitched on anybody
was because of the work
that Brian and I put in.

But real talk, rat-tail,
now that we alone,
it ain't like Atlanta's a
virgin to Colombian coke.
The Miami Killas got
a cartel plug like you,
and them niggas got here first.
Which makes you the Pepsi
to their Cola Classic.
Motherfucker, this ain't no taste test.
This is a track meet.
We beating them with speed.
Yeah, it sound good, Meech.
But you need runners to win a race.
Listen, we already got
runners. Stacks got the runners.
Once the weight arrives,
I'ma sign them all up.
How are you gon' do that short
of resurrecting Ty's ghost himself?
Well, since we mixing food metaphors,
let me serve some truth.
I didn't come here to start no beef.
I came here so everybody gets fed.
So all I got to do is cook
him a dish that makes him
hungry enough to want to eat.
You know that expression, right?
You attract more flies with honey.
How we like it?
Hey, Rip, you killed that
shit. That was out cold, man.
- [RIP] Yeah.
- Shit was smooth.
Let me holler at you for a minute.
What's up?
Man, why you hustling when
you cold like that, man?
You got talent for real.
Look, I know talent when I see it.
And my pops told me a lot about music.
Me and him even had a
record store back home.
Then maybe you can sell my shit one day.
Shit, when that does
happen, I don't want
to see you back on these
streets no more hustling, man.
God gave you a gift, and
gifts ain't to be wasted.
That's real.
[CAR HORN HONKING]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
This ain't no dance. This is business.
And I'm trying to make
motherfuckers shine.
Well, all this shine is
starting to blind Tee.
Shit, now that you gone, he
only focus on his reputation
and capping that nigga
Saint for his old lady.
Tee ain't built for no bullets.
This bitch got him
acting some type of way.
He does put the T in tender dick,
but he's still my brother.
Which means we got to
protect him at all costs.
Have one of your guys put in the work.
He can't be the one to pull the trigger.
- You feel me?
- No doubt. I got you.
All right.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYS]

- [CHARLES] Hey.
- [LUCILLE] Hey.
- Long day?
- Always.
Some customer came in today,
talking about she heard
that Terry had gotten shot
again, and how at some point
our boys are gon' run out of luck.
You know, some people need to
mind their own damn business.
That is my point.
I mean, everybody knows our business,
especially at church.
I mean, I am so sick and tired
of feeling ashamed and judged.
I mean, the house of the Lord is
supposed to be a sanctuary, right?
Not-not a house of gossip.
I just I feel like I want a
a fresh start at a new church.
Fine by me.
And don't nobody need to
know about our divorce.
It ain't nobody's business but ours.
- [DOOR CREAKS]
- [CHARLES] Hey, Roland.
- What up though, Mr. C?
- Meech gave you a key?
[ROLAND] Yes, sir.
And he told me to look
out for you, Miss Lucille.
Look, I got greens,
steaks, and potatoes.
I got flowers for you too.
Oh, my goodness. Made
my day. That is so sweet.
[ROLAND] You know you
be like my mother too.
- You tell my Meechy I love him.
- [ROLAND] I will.
[LUCILLE] I'm gonna put these in water.
I'll walk you out.
Listen, man.
I don't know about what you heard
or what you think you
know, but this is my house.
So give me my fucking keys.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

All my birds landed,
just like I told you they would.
Now, I'm giving you
these for 25 a brick.
I usually charge 30, but I'm
giving you the family discount.
- Just don't tell nobody, and we good.
- What's the catch, Meech?
Ain't no catch, nigga.
Me and Ty was like family.
And after he died, I did promise
Deanna I'll make things right.
You know, but since you taking
care of her and the kids,
I'm willing to cut my profits to put
more money in your pockets.
Well, I guess we ride together then.
- Get busy.
- Let's get it.
[TOILET FLUSHES]
Yo.
He went for the discount.
Good, good. 'Cause we're going
to need his ass and his foot soldiers.
I also did that to
undercut the Miami Killas.
You know, and move the bag faster.
Plus, word gets out about that price,
- we gon' know it's Stacks.
- Yeah.
But we gon' need another kind
of paper up in this bitch anyway.
- Fuck you talking about?
- I need shit to wipe my ass with.
Get your nasty ass up out of here, man.

Miss Taylor.
Detectives Jin and Amberson.
We're glad you pulled
through. How you feeling?
Look, you're in a tough spot.
Your hubby's in jail, and your
boy toy's his street rival.
Could it be that Boom ordered this hit
in a jealous rage over your relationship
with Terry Flenory?
If that's what you
think, then why the fuck
you not talking to him?

Jarod St. Jones, AKA Saint,
is a known shooter in your hubby's crew.
Is he the guy that did this to you?
Y'all the ones that gave
Boom the photos of me
and Tee that made him snap off.
If you ask me, it's your
fault I'm lying here.
Ms. Taylor, you got lucky this time.
Do you really want your boys
growing up without their mother?
Is the dick that good?
It's worth every goddamn inch.
Now, get the fuck out.

- [MEECH] What up, doe?
- [DICE] What up, doe?
[DEECH] Dice, my man.
What's up with those
connects out of state?
You already know I got
scrappers and hustlers
from the D all over, Alabama to Texas.
They be down to get with the champ
who knocked motherfuckers' teeth out.
Hey, we were Ric Flair
on them bitch-ass niggas.
Gave them the high
rope special and shit.
Yeah, but you got an uphill
battle with your boy Remi
'cause he got ATL in his blood.
His little bro went
missing back in the day.
They found him later
on, beaten and strangled
in the woods like one of
them Atlanta child murders.
Now Remi walking kids
to school every day,
paying rent for folks
who can't afford it.
I mean, they call him the
Robin Hood of the Techwood PJs.
Shit, if somebody did
that to my brother, man
Yeah, look, he bled for this turf,
so he gon' fight hard for it.
After I move this
shit, I'll hit you back.
- Bet.
- [DICE] Yeah, yeah.
[PAGER BEEPING]
Yeah?
That boy Rip ready to get picked up.
[MEECH] All right, let's get it.

Man, it was no reason to even
trip over moving that weight.
We are sitting on stacks of green now.
Now, get this shit to
Sam at the gas station,
so he can clean it for us.
Hey, I told you, Tee, I am here for you.
And we are about to fly.
[TERRY] Doe.
Hey, yo.
We had a lot of good
memories at this place.
Shit, but this spot was
Meech's pick, not mine.
- And he's moved on. So should we.
- Makes sense.
As long as I get to take that EPMD
and Chaka Khan album with me.
Get the fuck out of here. Come on, man.
All right.

Yo, Tee, my boys got eyes on Saint.
[TERRY] Oh, shit. Let's ride.
Whoa, whoa. Slow your roll.
He already up out of here.
Meech put you up to this?
You know we got a zero tolerance policy.
Your beef is our beef.
We family now.
You know this was
supposed to be my kill.
With Meech gone, I can't have
the streets thinking I'm no bitch.
Who's to say otherwise?
Besides, top dogs
like you ain't supposed
to get their hands dirty.
So I'm supposed to
Milli Vanilli this shit?
All I'm saying is, let the streets
think what the fuck they want, Tee.
'Cause I ain't saying shit.
And neither will you.

Appreciate you.

[HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYS]

- Rip do got that green for us all right.
- [MEECH] Hell yeah, nigga.
- [GUNSHOT]
- Agh!
[GUNSHOTS]
Fuck, man. Those Remi's guys!

- RIP] Yo, I've been hit!
[MEECH] Rip's cornered.

[TIRES SQUEALING]
[RAPID GUNFIRE]

[CLAUDE] Yo, hey, Raph and
Dame got attacked by the MKs
outside the Owens projects.
- [POLICE SIREN WAILING]
- Fuck.
Tell the families I'ma
take care of the funerals.
And send them some food
and some flowers too.
Detroit's making moves too.
I got eyes on him and their
crew that's always outside
of Raven's Club on Sundays.
This is our hood.
And everybody tryna
come and displace us.
And we ain't finna let that shit ride.
Techwood take care of us.
We take care of Techwood.
- You feel me?
- [CLAUDE] No doubt.
Little homie Rip who got
wet up, he gon' pull through.
[MEECH] Good, man, good.
Shit, that's good news.
Look, now we need every man we got
to get this weight to Dice's people.
I'm about to call up a meeting
for Glock and the Miami Killas.
You know if I can get
an alliance with the MKs,
we could put an end to
this motherfucker Remi.
Oh, so you want some
"the enemy of my enemy
is my friend" type shit.
I want some "by any means necessary
to get this money" type shit.
Now let's hit Raven's Club tonight
'cause Glock might be there.
And the strip club is
gon' present a whole lot
of opportunity for us
to lock down more guys
to help move the bag.
It is sinful Sunday tonight.
Now, I don't think God
gon' be in that bitch,
but anybody who is
anybody in Atlanta will be.
Ain't no armored trucks
pulling up at no funerals.
We can't take none of this shit with us.
So we need to go there tonight
and show all these niggas
Detroit is here to stay.
We ain't going
no-motherfucking-where.
- Hell yeah.
- Hell yeah.
[KEVIN] Does my dad
know I'm going to juvie?
- Dad, they're taking me now?
- There will be other kids there.
They're gonna be watching
you. Don't stare back.
Don't even look in their direction.
How much older are these kids?
Look, don't let them see you cry, OK?
Do it in the shower
or when you're alone.
Otherwise, they gon' think you weak.
And don't ever, ever accept
any favors from anyone.
How far is this place?
- Am I gonna be able to see you?
- Stop asking questions!
People don't like it when
you ask them questions.
OK, son?
- [KEVIN] What are you
- I've got to take these.
Pencils are considered weapons.
- But I need those.
- Look, I need you to be strong, Kev.
I love you.
I'ma get you out.
I promise.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS]

[TERRY] Hey, how you doing, beautiful?
- Hey.
- [TERRY] These are for you.
Thank you.
- I got some good news.
- What's up?
The doctor said I can go home, as
long as I keep these bandages clean.
That's good. That's real good.
But I mean, you're not going
back to the house with Boom?
OK.
We could stop by and
maybe get you some clothes.
I just can't wait to get out of here.
- I can't wait to hold the boys.
- Yeah.
Saint ain't gonna bother us no more.
Yeah.
Whatever it is that you did, I'm
just I'm just glad you're safe.
Nobody fucks with me or my queen.
- But guess what?
- What?
I just put a down
payment on a big-ass crib.
Just got to close the escrow.
So it'll be us in our new home,
making new memories with our family.
And I'll make sure I keep us safe.
Bet.
I love you, Terry.
- It's us against the world.
- I love you too.
Heavenly Father, we thank you so much
for sparing Terry's life.
And we ask you to keep your divine hand
of protection on our boys.
And thank you so much
for this beautiful meal
that Meechy has given us.
And we just ask you to
bless it into our bodies.
All this we ask in Jesus' name. Amen.
[ALL] Amen.
These some mighty fine steaks.
Meechy's always thinking of others.
Yeah, Tee, mm, not so much.
[LAUGHTER]
Boy, what are you thinking?
Now, I know you done
lost your goddamn mind.
I told you it wasn't a good
idea to come here, Terry.
She just need a safe place
to stay for the night.
She can't go home right now,
and I got some guys waiting outside.
You know what, Terry? I
done let a lot of shit slide.
OK, it was never about no money for me.
All I cared about was you and
our little family right here.
But remember, you wasn't
shit when I met you,
and I still held you down.
Just for this-this
sack-chasing asshole to pop up
when it's convenient for her?
This ain't got nothing to do
with no money. We in love.
You know what, it's too bad
the nigga who shot you missed.
Well, he did. So I guess
this is meant to be, then.
- Meant to be?
- [TERRY] Yo, yo.
Can you guys just stop?
All this bickering back and
forth ain't good for y'all.
Especially you, LaWanda, with the kid.
LaWanda, I'm not trying
to make you stressed.
Yeah, it's too late for that.
That bitch even got you
holding her shit. Pathetic.
Nicole, could you please take
Markisha up to Terry's room?
Thank you for having me.

Boy, sit down.
LaWanda is the mother of
your two babies, Terry, two.
And you need to be there
for all three of them.
And just stop-stop all
this nonsense and juggling
and lying to these two women.
- It's ungodly.
- Ungodly?
Look, I've got a lot of responsibilities
and business to take care of.
And I can't do it with y'all
just breathing down my neck.
I'm moving out.
Terry.
Terry!

- So does this mean I get Terry's room?
- No.
Your father will be
getting Terry's room.
Oh, no. Now, wait a minute, Lucille.
You said that this
is your house as well,
and congratulations on your new room.

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYS]
[AMBERSON SIGHS]
Street justice wins again.
There's no winners here
just another sad fucking
cycle of senseless death.
Lady, you dark as hell.
Well, was Saint a known drug
dealer destroying his community?
Fuck yeah, but he's also
somebody's son, brother, cousin.
And it's our job to deliver
the right kind of justice.
- You think Terry Flenory retaliated?
- Fuck yeah.
But proving it's another
hey, um, can you get
the fingerprint kit?
Yeah.

Feeling way down In the bones ♪
Yo.
Tee sure handled Saint.
- That shit was ill.
- That's right.
And I'll do the same shit for y'all.

That's love, baby. Whoa.
What the fuck is this shit?
Yo, it's calamari, fool.
It's from Roostertail.
How about you cala-motherfucker
who gon' eat this shit 'cause I ain't.
You know what, your Humpty
Dumpty ass shouldn't even

[HOOP] Fine.
But no, for real, I
want y'all to take a real
good look at this place.
'Cause we gon' be moving on from here.
- [ROLAND] What you mean?
- Out with the old, in with the new.
I just copped this new
restaurant that's more my speed.
It's about to be our new spot.
[PHONE RINGING]
[HOOP] Hope you ain't

in the new spot, Tee.
- [TERRY] What up, doe?

Hey, I heard your
pest problem went away.
Oh, so now you calling me after
making plans behind my back?
[MEECH] Don't get your
panties in a bunch, Tee.
You my brother, and I'm
always gonna look out for you.
You know what I'm doing right now, man?
I'm sitting out staring at these
intersections of the highways.
[TERRY] What the hell
you doing out there?
[MEECH] General Sherman
burnt this city to the ground
to win the Civil War 'cause he
was confident something better
would rise in its place.
Demetrius, he wasn't talking about you.
And stop acting like you the
goddamn Messiah from Ecorse.
[MEECH] Man, shut the fuck up
and let me finish, God damn.
Something better did rise up
these highways, Tee.
They link to every major city
down the Florida coast,
up the Eastern Seaboard,
and even got a direct
line to Texas and Cali.
I'm standing at the doorstep
for the rest of the damn country.
Yo, classic Meech
twisting history to make his point.
No, no, no. I'm not twistin' it.
We overcomin' it.
Nobody in a million fucking years
would ever predict that we
about to take over this place.
I mean, that ain't God's word,
I don't know what is, Tee.
'Cause making Atlanta party central.
We going national.
I really wish you was
here right now with me.
You know, so you can
see what I'm seeing.
- With your good eye.
- [LAUGHS]
You still got jokes even
from 800 miles away, huh?
You know you an easy target,
baby bro. You always been.
All right.
I'ma holler at you later.
Hey, womb to the tomb.
Womb to the tomb.

- You tall niggas blind?
- Can't come in. Glock's orders.
Tell that pussy-ass nigga
to come outside then.
- I'm right here.
-
Now, what, y'all working
the bouncer shift?
[LAUGHS]
Nigga, we ain't out here for nothing.
Well, that's some heavy
metal for a Sunday night,
especially when all I
got is the gift of gab.
So is Glock scared his
ears are gonna burn?
- Nigga, move on.
- Or what?
Unless you want that hazelnut face
bleeding red all over the
motherfucking concrete.
These niggas ain't worth it, Meech.
Man, look, it's a time
and a place for everything.
We'll go somewhere
else and have a drink.
Hold on, hold on.
Why that nigga call himself
Glock when he surround himself
by ho-ass niggas like y'all?
He must be compensating for something.
Tell that nigga Meech in town,
and he ain't going
no-motherfucking-where.
- Pussy.

Fuck y'all niggas.
[STACKS] Let's hit up Club Anytime.
[ENGINE REVVING]
