I soId my souI to the deviI, the price was cheap.
It was coId on this IeveI, it was twice as deep.
It's 2:00, I'm just about to hit the streets.
UntiI I knock off this rock, I don't get to eat.
Sometimes it's like that's the onIy reason why I hustIe,
to step on toes, strong-arm and show a little muscle.
Ain't no reaI dough, that's why a nigga feeIs so frustrated.
I hate it seeing bitch niggas that made it.
And I'm robbin' niggas just as broke as myseIf.
Fuckin' with Queens ain't too good for a nigga's heaIth.
Where's the wealth? lt ain't in New York.
I gots to make my rounds and do whatever for the dollar.
Fuck 'em. You know me. Charlie Grant.
Get in the car!
Let's go, man! Get in the car, man!
lt was the best time of our lives.
Getting money was all we ever did.

-Slow down, motherfucker! -Word. What the fuck.
-Damn, son, we done licked that chick. -Niggas killed that bitch!
Hey, shut the fuck up, man.
Me? My name is Sincere.

What the fuck would Knowledge put you with us anyway?
-All right, all right. -Man, shut the fuck up.
Listen, Mark, you dump the car. You know what l'm sayin'?
Mark, too. He was the "whatever" type nigga.
The type of nigga that wouId do anything at any given time.
A live wire. You need niggas Iike that around.
-Dump that motherfucker. -All right. Shut the fuck up, man.
BIack. He was just some dumb-ass nigga
we used to smoke trees with and crackjokes on.
I knew he was a fuckin' probIem as soon as KnowIedge put him down.
Listen, man, if you gonna dump this motherfucker, dump it.
-All right, yo. -Now, pull over.
All right, man.
Hey, yo, you said you were gonna ditch this motherfucker.
-Ditch it, man. -All right. You got it. All right.
We went straight to Tommy's house afterwards out in Jamaica Estates
just to cooI out for a minute.
I mean, I Iove this nigga's crib, man.
It aIways reminded me what I wanted to have eventuaIIy,
a phat new crib Iike his shit, one day.
We was wild up in there.
Now, now, son.
That shit was raw, kid.
Splattered homegirl up against the motherfuckin' glass and all that shit.
-What the fuck is that? -What the fuck is this?
You can kiss my ass.
-I hate goddamn rabbits. -Fuckin' rabbit!
Kill his ass!
-What you be watchin' in the house? -This shit is bugged out.
This nigga be buggin'.
Damn, son, look at all this fuckin' cheddar. We should've been doing clubs.
Why don't you shut the fuck up? Tryin' to get us knocked?
-What he talkin' about? -You don't want Kisha to come down.
Yeah, please don't have Kisha come down here flippin' on us
-3:00 in the fuckin' morning. -Yeah, yeah.
This shitty-ass rabbit stinks.
-l know. -He smeIIs Iike pussy.
Smell like a pile of bullshit!
Now, Kisha, Kisha was a bad motherfucker.
Tall, dark skin. Some big-ass tits.
Look like a ghetto Naomi Campbell and shit. A dime for real.
Yeah, yeah, whatever.
Let's start counting this money, man, before y'all niggas start stashin' shit.
Come on, dun. l'm just joking, baby. l know.
Now, say "sorry" 'cause you hurt my feelings.
This nigga serious?
Tommy, what is going on? And why y'all makin' so much noise?
lt's these niggas right here. l told niggas shut the fuck up.
Sorry. That's my fault.
l am trying to sleep. God!
Yo, l'm about to go get some sleep my damn self.
All right.
-See y'all niggas tomorrow. -Yeah, l'm here.
This shit keeps going off.
Hi. l'm Kurt Loder with MTV news.
There have been aIarming reports from London and Berlin
of a new form of heroin being soId in underground hip-hop cIubs and raves
aII across Europe.
This better not be no bitch.
-Hello. What's the deal? -Who is this?
-And who is this? -This is Kisha.
Why the fuck are you paging my man?
Who, Tommy?
-You know who l'm talking about. -Oh, what's up, Kish?
Yo, Tommy tells me everything about you. What's going on?
It's reported that this heroin
is dramaticaIIy more potent than previous forms of the drug.
So much more, the user need only appIy the drug externaIIy on the skin
to be affected.
US DEA fears the drug is on its way to this country
via various conduits in Jamaica and throughout the West Indies.
We'II have more on the story as it breaks.
That's the news for now. Stay tuned for more later here on MTV.
Cut the bullshit, all right? Are you fucking Tommy, or what?
Well, not exactly, you see. l'm only 1 6.
So Tommy said we couldn't fuck yet.
But l did suck his dick the night before last.
You what?
l said l sucked his dick the night before last.
My crib was out in St. Albans still,
not too far from where we grew up, right by the Vet's hospitaI.
I mean, it's not Iike Tommy's crib or nothing
but I Iove Iiving around the way.
All right, all right. lt's okay. lt's okay.
Ti? That's my girl.
l met her out in Baltimore when me and Bunds first started flippin' birds.
We had Kenya this past year.
Yo, when shit gets crazy, it's them. They keep me sane.
I been knowing Tommy ever since I was 1 1 years oId.
He showed me how to tongue kiss and everything.
We were like best friends.
Sorry things ain't working out for you two.
No, it's all right 'cause l'm gonna see your little ass around.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Nigga, l told you stop fucking with me.
l know. l know. Come on.
Mama's gonna get you. l won't let Daddy torture you no more.
-You talk too loud on the phone. -What you talkin' about?

-What the fuck is you talking about? -Who the hell is Kionna, Tommy?
-Kionna who? -Oh, you dumb now?
-You know who l'm talking about. -l don't know no fucking Kionna, man.
l'm saying, Ti, l gotta do my thing, mama.
You know how that go.
Sin, l mean, seriously, why can't we just start a business or something?
l mean, Kenya needs you.
What the fuck's supposed to happen to us if you get caught? What, what?
What, visits? Phone calls?
What you think l'm gonna be doing out here, nothing?
Just sitting around, starving?
l mean, look. You act like we're broke. l mean, what the fuck.
l told you plenty of times, Tommy does not give a fuck about you.
You cannot trust him. You know that.
Look, Tommy, l just spoke to the girl.
She not only told me she know you
but that she sucked your little black ding-a-ling last night.
-So, what you got to say now, huh? -The bitch is lying.
Fuck you, all right? Fuck you.
Mess with some bitch behind my back.
Fuck you, Tommy! Fuck you, all right?
-l'm tired of this shit. This is bullshit. -Listen, listen, listen.
-How stupid do you think l am? -l don't know no Kionna.
Why you lying to me? Why are you lying to me?
-l'm about to faze you, all right? -Shut the fuck up! Listen!

Anyway, what's up with that blunt, dawg?
That's what l'm talking about, man. Some of that weed.
Hold up. l just lit it up. Hold up.
Hey, what the fuck are you looking at?

You know I had to fuck with him, right?
Hold up. l just lit it up. Hold up.

l hate to burden you, but...
lt's not a burden. lt's cool. What's wrong?
l'm sayin' l just... l feel like l don't have any hope.
l can't seem to get this nigga away from me.

-But yet what? -l don't know.
l keep hoping that maybe one day he'll be more like Sincere.
You know? More into life. More into me. You know. You have that.
Kisha, l'm gonna just be honest with you.
Tommy's not gonna be shit but what he is.
You just have to understand.
Certain types of people accept the bad in life, and that's cool with them.
l hate to say it, but you're right, you know?
lt just hurts to be alone, you know?
And the only thing l have is fucked up. ls that all there is?
Kisha, you got life.
You are breathing. You're healthy. Fuck that nigga.
You don't need no nigga to make you feel like you're whole.
But you and Sincere are so happy.
But don't mistake it. l'm happy with Sincere because l'm happy.
lf l wasn't happy with him, then l'd have to do what l have to do.
You have to do the same for you.
l don't know what that is.
l mean, l think you'll be all right.
You're just going to have to take it one day at a time.
-Yeah. -You know. That's all l can think.
What's up, baby?

Look over there, son.
The one lighting his spliff.
-The one with feathers in his head? -Yeah.

What the fuck you think we gonna do? Get money.
He winds up in AtIanta seIIin' weed.
Who does he get to work for him?
You got it, Wise and Lakid.
Bunds was the best at makin' a bad situation worse.
He wouId corrupt anyone he couId to get over.
As Iong as he knew how to controI niggas' minds,
he couId make shit happen anywhere.
Learn how to put the motherfuckin' weed in the bags first.
Then get money.
lt's dough out here. That nigga's gots to be willin' to get down.

How the fuck'd you get this number?
Your bitch gave me the number. What the fuck you talking about?

-Can l get that? -Oh, for sure.
All right. Check this out then.
Before we break out, l gotta holler at you before we bounce.
What's the deal?
Son, a nigga like me want to show my appreciation.
You know what l'm sayin'?
Remember, l said l came down here to check niggas in the whole notch
especially you, son.
l brought a present and the whole shit from my man.
Your man? What's that?
-Knowledge. -Knowledge?
Come on, man! Get in the fuckin' car!
The more and more I was reading the Minister's book,
the more I reaIized how fucked up our whoIe thought process was.
I mean, we aII have knowIedge of seIf
but stiII, we was actin' Iike fuckin' idiots.
Now, more than ever, I couId see error in our ways.
It seemed time had flipped shit to a new fuckin' page.
Yo, yo. Chill, chill, chill.
That nigga's fuckin' crazy, yo!
You should have seen him. He dissed their whole click.
Now, if that was me,
l would have bodied the niggas soon as they said somethin'.
Fuck is you talkin' 'bout? You was right there and didn't say shit.
l'm surprised you had nuts to pull that piece of shit.
What the fuck you talkin' about?
lf it wasn't for me,
Umbrook and Casa would have pushed your wig back, nigga. Word up.
Don't even try to front.
Yo, l seen how shook you was when them niggas showed up.
Know what l mean? You was prayin' shit didn't happen.
You know, l seen you after we left. You was ready to cry like a bitch.
-Uh-huh! -You think l ain't see that, yo?
Yo, when those niggas pulled out, son looked mad hurt.
Know what l mean? Yo, don't front.
What, you don't want me to pull your bitch-ass card in front of Bunds?
Fuck it. Just keep it real.
Yo, l know you not gonna let this nigga talk to you like that. What's goin' on?
Nah, bitch nigga ain't no bitch to me.
That's what the fuck l'm talkin' about, nigga. What?
Some real shit now. What?
Chill, chill. Bitches, chill before you fuck around and make a mistake.
Ain't no mistakes. This motherfuckerjust talk too much.
l had to shut him the fuck up.
After Wise got smoked,
Bunds was so drunk and high he just stayed there,
feeIin' Iike he had enough.
And it was his fauIt that Wise got hit.
He couId have easiIy deaded the whoIe argument.
But Bunds, he's an instigator for reaI.
So now he's like, "Fuck it."
Tommy was at the end of his rope.
Keep your arms where l can see 'em. Cuff him.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
Do you understand these rights as l have read them?
...six nine.
T.R. Jacobs.
What's your aliases?
Sincere.
Close door!
Yo.
Collect call from Department of Corrections inmate.
-Tommy Brown. -Yeah, l accept.
What's up, Sin? What's goin' on?
Who this? Bunds? What's the deal, my nigga?
Fucked up. l need some help, yo.
Yo, l told you l wasn't fuckin' with you no more, man.
-What part you don't understand? -Yeah, l know.
l got arrested on some bullshit last night.
l gotta get outta here before my prints come back.
Take that shit to Ox, man. Tell him it's his.
The rest of that... l'm in Decatur, man.
Remember, dawg, you my nigga. Don't let me down.
No doubt, baby. l got you. Don't even worry it. Peace.
One.
Cannot believe you.
Bullshit clot...
l don't wanna watch some bumba clot no more.
l put my trust in them. Now we're gonna lose it.
l don't wanna watch them no more.
Sorry Ras clot, no?
l'm watching...
A bumba clot war, hmm?
Wanna ramp with me?
Come on!
Who wanna test me? Come on! Come on!
Don't know who l bumba clot ramp with.
Wanna know me?
l am the original Joliet called Dandera. You understand?
You wanna ramp with bumba clot, eh?
Come. Come on. l murder people for fun.
Murder on a bumba clot for fun.
Come on!
Who wanna ramp with bumba clot me?
Come on!
lt's me, the bumba clot Ox!
Who wanna ramp with bumba clot, eh?
lt's me, the bumba clot Ox!
When l finally got to Ox house, yo, there was cops everywhere.
I seen that nigga Iaid out,
the fuckin' top dog with his throat slit from ear to ear.
Damn.
You know, l drove around Queens for, Iike, an hour-and-a-haIf in a daze.
FinaIIy, I drove up to RochdaIe Projects.
Me and Bunds used to hang out there back in the days.
That's where all the bitches was.
Yo, when I waIked through, l saw my man Shorty out there pumpin'.
Shorty was, like, 12 goin' on 20.
A reaI Ioser-type nigga, you know?
No hope for the future at aII.
To him, it wasn't reaIistic that he was ever gonna make it out the projects.
And he was right.
-What up, Shorty? -What up?
Man. Niggas up mad early gettin' that paper, huh?
We all got bagged.
-What happened? -Thursday, l got bagged.
-What happened? -Fuckin' with this nigga on the roof.
-On the roof? -Yeah, man.
-What you was doin'? -Shot this nigga, man.
l got it still burnin'. Shit's just gettin' hot.
See? Just gotta hold the shit down.
Know what l'm sayin'? Got the bulletproof vest.
-Yo, damn, man. -Shit's just hot.
Don't let these niggas out here steer you wrong, man.
See them niggas on the corner over there?
-They're gonna be out here forever. -All right, peace.
-Yo, man. Fuckin' with guns. -lt's all right.
When you fuck with guns, Shorty...
lt's always the coolest niggas that fuck around and get murdered, you know?
lt's a war out here.
Mad niggas is dyin'.
-You don't want that shit to be you, right? -Nah.
l know you gonna hold it down, though. You know what l mean?
Just be careful, man.
These niggas out here ain't even really worth it.
You're an ill nigga, though. l like your style, son.
Shorty, l'm a go, so, all right?
Look in your pocket.
That's you. That's from me, baby.
Just make sure you rise above all this madness out here.
Mind elevation, man.
Fuck that petty shit. You don't need it.
For real. All right?
-All right. -All right, all right. My nigga.
You're out, dickhead. Open the gate.
Bunds was an animaI out the cage, for reaI.
But he went around the way to Iay at his stepmom's crib
and get his pIans together.
And that's where life as he knew it came to an end.
All right. All right, here we go.
Yeah. Right there. Try that one on.
There it is, man.
What's you, a coach or somethin'?
You ain't from around here.
l'm Roger. How you doin', Tommy?
l just came lookin' for you, man.
Lookin' for me for what?
When l heard that the police finally had you in custody
l wanted to come down and just meet you in person.
Don't get nervous. A lot of agents here.
What l think you should do is just pay attention and listen to me.
Listen to what l'm gonna tell ya.
l'm gonna give you a choice, man.
-Oh, l got a choice? -Yeah, you got a choice.
l'm gonna offer you some freedom.
You know you're in a lot of trouble.
Without us, you go to jail.
You go to jail forever. You understand?
So who l gotta blast?
He calls himself the Minister.
lt's yourjob to get into his organization and learn his ways.
On New Year's Eve he's having the biggest gathering,
World's Day of Reckoning, at the Armory in Harlem.
On that very night, you will terminate this fucker.
We'll do everything in our power to give you all the help that's necessary.
But be warned, we've got a lot of operatives in place.
lf you show any weakness or if you betray us,
it'll be your resignation.
You understand?
Yeah, l understand.
Don't fuck around, Bunds.
l was thinking, l know it's your boy and l hate to keep bringing it up,
but seriously, we need to start thinking about us.
This shit's too dangerous now.
lt's not safe anymore.
Ti, l feel like it's time for us to go away from here.
l been thinkin' about it for a long time.
Where will we go?
Ti, let's go to Africa.
Shit, nigga, please. Be for real.
Yo, l never been more serious in my life.
l mean, we been to the islands. We been everywhere.
Who says we can't go to Africa?
l mean, but... l don't know.
-Africa's far. -So what?
l'm sayin', just think about us. That's all we ever talk about.
That's our dream, to go to our homeland where our roots are.
Fuck it, man. You know what l'm sayin'? Like, forget about money. Fuck everything.
lt's a chance of a lifetime. lf me and you went, and the baby...
Just think.
Maybe it's the right thing to do, maybe not.
Well, l'll think about it.
l will think about it.
Bunds was supposed to take out the Minister.
ApparentIy, they needed a nigga to do it for pubIicity or somethin'.
Tommy was perfect.
He had to start from the bottom, though.
You know, reaIIy take it serious with the reIigion.
He had to study and reaIIy be a part of it
'cause it wasn't gonna be easy to get cIose to the Minister.
Meanwhile, Knowledge and Shameek started scheming
on how they was gonna find Bundy,
you know, for a IittIe payback visit.
KnowIedge knew where Kisha Iived,
so he knew Tommy wouIdn't be far behind.
Oddly enough, the more Tommy got into character
the more, you know, the truth was Iike the Iight.
No matter what cIouds are true, eventuaIIy the sun wiII come out
and you cannot stop the sun from shining.
For the first time the sun was finaIIy shinin' on Bundy.
Oh, shit! What the fuck are y'all doin' in my house?
Relax, shorty. Nobody here to fuck with you.
Then get your stank ass out my house and take your broke-ass niggas with you.
We just here looking for this nigga. That all.
We was hopin' maybe Sin could tell us where to find his ass.
Oh, shit.
Don't worry, shortstop. We're on our way.
Just tell Sin Father Sha came by. That all.
We don't want to worry the guy, but we really need to find this fucker.
l'm fuckin' serious.
Care, my niggas.
Hey, yo, peace, shorty.
You stay cool. Don't hurt nobody.
I get a phone caII from niggas, Iike, early this evening.
l can't believe it. He want me to meet him up in Harlem.
I don't even know what's goin' on. First, how the fuck he get outta jaiI?
Maybe this nigga gave me up to get out, you know?
It couId be a setup. You couId never teII with this nigga.
I mean, Bunds is my dawg, but this nigga, man, is hard to teII sometimes.
He could be ill when he wanna be.
Yo, Bunds. What up, nigga?
-What scheme you up to now? -How you doin', Sin?
l'm all right. What's up?
l been tryin' to call you. How come you ain't call me back?
Ain't hard to tell. My life's in a whole 'nother direction, dawg.
l could see that. Yo, you know l'm not gonna leave you though, right?
Yo, l thought you was up the river, man.
l didn't know what to do. l went to Ox house, yo.
Then l call Mark, and l'm a-tell him what happened.
l didn't get no response.
Heard about Ox. Know what l'm sayin'?
But you want to know somethin' though, Sin?
You was always right, dawg. You know what l'm sayin'?
We was on the road to destruction from the beginning.
Wasn't tryin' to hear it, though, you know?
But now, you know, the Minister showed us the right path.
-Try and take that path? -What happened to "fuck followers"
and "no purpose" and all your issues and shit?
Listen, dawg, we all make mistakes, especially me.
But if you've got a chance to make it right, make it right.
l got that from you.
l feel it's the only way.
l don't feel a need to play the whole part in the entire movement
but, yo, if you just raise your family right, if l just live righteously,
l be all right.
Yo, my whole life is dedicated to change.
Yo, l'm goin' to Africa.
-Word? -Word.
Africa?
Gonna take some time out to reflect on the things that's happenin',
you know, between you, me, the whole world.
That's ill, son. That's ill.
What can l say but, you know, congratulations.
Good luck on your trip to the motherland.
Good luck, Bunds.
l hope everything is right with you and the Minister as well, all right?
What you want me to do with the car and all that?
All your shit. What you want me to do?
l ain't gonna really need none of that. You know what l'm sayin'?
Accept it as a gift.
-Take it to the heart. -D.
-One. -One.
Now, remember, the dope has to be secured in that office.
lt's extremely important that he's found with shit on the premises.
Our people are all in place. Spread the word.
Hey, slick.
Do not attempt to get a brain on this. You hear me?
Under no circumstances
is the Minister to make that speech.
l want it real messy. No mistakes.
You copy that?
Yeah, l copy that.
You're my nigga, man. You're my nigga.
-Yo, Ti. -l'm in here, Sin.
Why you sittin' over here in the dark?
What happen?
When l got home, there was some niggas in the house.
They said they were lookin' for you.
One of 'em, he said his name was Sha.
But l think he was lookin' for Tommy.
-Did they touch you? -No.
l got scared, so l just pulled out.
But they left quietly. l mean, they didn't do anything.
But l've just been sittin' here.
They dead, all right?
-They are dead. -No, Sin. Mm-mm. You gotta promise.
You gotta promise me that you'll just say, "Fuck this shit" and leave it alone.
You gotta swear that you will not go lookin' for them.
l can't take this shit no more. We should just do what you said.
You forget about Tommy, forget about all this shit and start thinkin' about us.
Let's just do what you said. Let's just split and go to Africa.
We should just go.
-All right then. -We should just go.
We're gonna go, okay? We'll go.
l don't know how you can stay out here. Shit gettin' crazier every day.
Word, me, my wifey, little C, we all out, man.
Yo, you goin' to Africa? You gonna stop fuckin' with weed?
l don't even fuck with no more chronic. l don't need none of that shit no more.
-This is the shit, l'm tellin' you. -You one lucky nigga, boy.
Long-ass flight, too. l ain't never comin' back.
That's what l was thinkin' about, never comin' back. Word!
You my nigga, all right? Get with you on that.
-All right. Yeah. -Tell Chaka my love, all right?
-All right. Peace. -Chill, nigga.
Man, it's crazy out here, man. That's why l broke out for a minute.
-All right. Word up. -Straight up.
-Yo, what up? -Sin, what's up, baby?
-How you? How you been? -l'm maintaining. Looking good.
-You got the little one, huh? -Yeah.
-She got me baby-sittin' right now. -That's real.
-You all right, though? Lookin' good. -Yeah. You know how it is.
-l know it's crazy out here. -Oh, yeah.
Yo, l'm gettin' ready to blow, dun.
-Oh, word. All right. Sure. -Peace, man. Peace.
-What's up, baby pop? -Yo, what up, Black? Funny-ass nigger.
-Fuck is up, nigga? -Remember that shit from the basement?
-Stupid motherfuckers! -Fuck outta here, yo!
Take this, man!
Ti, l got shot.
-What? -Yeah.
Coming out the barber shop, this nigga shot me in my leg.
-Are you all right? -Yeah.
Oh, my God!
-l had to shoot these two other niggas. -What?
-The nigga that shot me, l killed that nigga. -What?
l don't give a fuck, though. We still gonna go.
Ain't nothin' stoppin' us from leavin'. l don't give a fuck no more.
We goin'.
-Yo? -What up, cat daddy?
-It's KnowIedge. -Fuck is up?
-What's the verdict? -Biggie just got hit with some joints.
Ain't even gonna see Iife for a minute.
Damn. Yo, that nigga can't Iive, son.
You know l know where Tommy bitch Iive at, right?
-Yeah? -35 Westchester.
Son, l'm a-go see that piece.
Let that bitch Tommy know what's reaI up in the battIefieId, for you.
Get that bitch. Bring that nigga out in the front.
No doubt. Stay up, baby. Hold your head. One.
Come on. Let's bring it. All right!
AII praises due to the one and true living God!
Yeah! Oh, yeah!
This is a great day today! A great and festive day!
You are a beautifuI peopIe,
a peopIe deserving of a savior.
l want you to secure the west wing. You two move out.
...a God who loves you and l so much
that he would cIimb a mountain 40 miIes high
just to save one of you.
Go.
Right? He said, "Let my peopIe go!"
He said, "Wicked, Iet my peopIe go!"
He saved the day. This time, he is right in our midst.
Who is he? Say it!
l knew you were coming
so l sent everyone away
because l believed my final moment was at hand.
Before you pull that trigger
and take my life
l would like the chance to tell you some things
perhaps to think about after l am gone.
Don't worry about me stallin'.
My people have orders to leave me to my studies for another 1 5 minutes.
l will only take five.
Can you bear with me?
Will you?
Then make up your mind.
Today marks the change of not only a new year, but a new millennium.
Take a look around.
The majority of the youth roam the streets deaIing in drugs, sex and vioIence,
thinking these things have no real effect on life.
Crimes without real punishment.
An uncaring, unfeeIing generation without knowIedge of seIf.
This is the future of our nation, the future of our people.
Do you think hatred and evil will go unpunished?
The world is now feeling the heat
from flames it has kept burning since the beginning of civilization.
You represent that fire.
You and l are just a small part of God's plan.
The evil men of this world have appIied every method possibIe
to deceive its occupants
and each time with greater success than anticipated.
But no more.
Tonight, with this new millennium,
God will begin to overcome this evil.
I represent the truth to the peopIe.
Without truth, nothing is sacred.
The lie, that's what the devil is all about.
You know that. That's why you're here.
What the hell?
The truth is, we all play a grave role in our own destruction.
Your money.
Your lifestyles.
The things that people value and covet so dearly
are the bait that lures them out of the light.
Turn over, bitch.
Where the fuck is that bitch-ass nigga at?
Huh? Bitch!
Through the love of others
l have power.
The truth gives me this.
Those that fear me send you here,
here to murder all that l say.
They use what you fear against you.
Your fear of death. Your fear of imprisonment.
Oh, shit! You fuckin'...
Where in this world is anyone safe from death?
You see the lies you've been told?
The path you take is not your own.
Now you turn around, bitch! Punk-ass motherfucker!
Look what you did to me! l hate you! l hate you!
Have you ever thought about how precious a life is?
How difficult it is to create?
How loosely and easily it has been for you to take away?
Ten!
Brother, help me.
Nine!
Help me to do what's right.
Eight!
Help me to stop the slaughter of our children.
-Seven! -Help me to put an end to the disrespect
and the dishonor of our most valuable resource, the black woman.
-Six! -Help me to put an end
to the destruction of the young mind through the use of drugs, alcohol.
Five!
Help me to build up a population of great thinkers.
Four!
People who create change through thoughtfulness and spirituality.
Three!
Will you choose that truth?
Will you?
Two!
Will you choose the light over the darkness?
One!
Once l found out the clock was tickin'.
See the Glock. Stick it.
KiIIing, 'cause revenge is aII they can think about in the end.
But I'm going for the binge.
Burn tiII I singe.
Fuck outta this!
FaII by myseIf, die by myseIf.
PIays the tricks.
And if you don't know what it's goin' to be in the end...
T minus three, two, one. Amen.
-Drop the gun! -Hold it. Stay where you are.
Will you choose life?
lt's time.
lt's time, man.
lt's time.
When I opened my eyes, l couldn't believe it.
Africa, for reaI.
I feIt Iike I never reaIIy seen cIouds before.
I feIt Iike the sky was a different coIor bIue,
the trees a different coIor green.
And the peopIe, too.
The peopIe were beautifuI. It feIt right.
It was harmony, Iike I wasn't far from home.
Everybody together, me, Tionne, Kenya.
lt was like... It's Iike a whoIe new beginning.
Yo. You ever been in love?
Have you ever been in Iove?
-No. You? -No.
lt seems like...
That's right. So what you goin' do?
You know how you do it, baby.
