Leaf Life (2024)

[bunniefuu]

(wind howling)

(light music)

(mysterious music)

See everywhere I come like p*stol Pete

Cut my music like a symphony

Cohort of no sympathy

It's the street life meant for me

See the leaf life meant to be

m*rder Incorporated like an entity

And this world ain't sh*t for free

See this world ain't sh*t to me

Like Pac got shot

We gonna ride on the enemy

Takes money, cars, cigars, and ecstasy

Break bread so the risk in me

We gonna slide with authenticity

T-Shirt say rest in peace

Leave life with a legacy

Leave life to the death of me

One deep so the rest can flee

I can never let the double team

My flesh is weak

I'm on a whole nother

level 'cause he blesses me

(vocals echoing)

(mysterious music)

[Narrator] It's crazy how sometimes

you gotta find beauty

in dark a*s situations.

My mama always told me

the light shines in the darkness

and the darkness is not overcoming.

That's somewhere in the Bible.

But it's nights like this

where the beauty of darkness is covering up

some wicked and ugly sh*t.

(mysterious hiphop music)

(birds chirping)

Oh, you think you bad now, huh?

Man, don't even listen to him, Black.

He's just messing with you, bro.

Hmm.

That's what you feel, huh?

Nah, son.

Back in my day we did sh*t different.

I've been to the feds and

back and I'm still that n*gga.

Even your mama knows.

[Black] f*ck you!

Hey man, that's enough.

Y'all young m*therf*ckers weak!

Y'all don't know y'all a*s

from a hole in the ground.

Weak? Shut the f*ck up.

Oh chill, bro.

Chill.

What the f*ck you touching me for, bruh?

Hey smoke check, man. You trippin'.

[Black] Nah.

This sh*t here's personal.

(punch thuds)

See you done put him to sleep.

Man, smoke check, man.

(birds chirping)

Black, you good?

I will be.

How about them Cowboys though?

(Black laughs)

Hell no.

I thought Dak was your boy.

- Until he do right by me.

- Yeah.

(both laughing)

[Narrator] Yeah, you probably wondering

how we just went from

handling popping the trunk

to laughing and chilling.

Simple, smoke check.

We've been doing this for years.

Man, no matter what's going on,

smoke check gonna get us through it.

For those few moments,

smoking the leaf takes us away from life

and all the f*cked up sh*t it brings,

you know what I'm saying?

- Sorry, man.

- Hey, nah. You cool though.

Man, I hollered at Mike.

What you think about this?

He told me he thinking

about relocating to Lawrence.

What's up with that?

Man, on the cool.

I really think the same thing though.

Got some work coming in next week.

- We can crack this sh*t up.

- From who?

Angel? The old plug?

Man, you already know.

sh*t, how her momma doing though?

Man, she actually been all right.

She asked about you the other day.

You know what I told her?

- Huh?

- Black being Black.

Same, man.

You know life be lifeing, man.

Yeah, life be lifeing,

but you know, just like I know John 3:16,

the way to eternal life.

Now none of this we doing right here, bro.

This straight evil, bro.

There's some wicked stuff right here.

Man, you finished with all this sh*t?

Man, I'm just saying.

Hmm.

But essentially you just saying,

you're being all spiritual

so I'm gonna go bless him, huh?

Second time this week, word.

Mm.

Man, when Black say he

about to bless somebody

it's all the way different.

It ain't what you think.

(g*nsh*t blasts)

But yous?

I probably just need to show you

how we even got into this sh*t.

(suspenseful hiphop music)

(woman moans)

What's your name again?

(suspenseful hiphop music)

Oh f*ck!

(solemn music)

Man, that's what the f*ck we on, huh?

Yo man, look, I went and made my drops.

Went and made my drops

Man, you bullshitting me.

You got a schedule,

Some extended lunch break sh*t?

Hey yo, can I go?

Nah, baby.

Stay right there.

Matter of fact, come here.

- Yeah, I'm okay.

Yeah, a little bit.

Hmm. Sorry about that.

Nah, he didn't get me nothing.

Let me guess.

Man, Black trippin' again.

That sh*t don't even matter right now.

Just make sure your a*s here 6:00 PM.

[Eric] Okay, okay.

I'll follow up with you later.

You know how this goes, Mike.

We're gonna need a

complete and accurate alibi.

This sh*t gotta be solid.

Where's Black now?

I don't know where Black is

but that sh*t don't even

f*cking matter right now.

Just make sure you here 6:00 PM.

[Eric] All right.

Well, when you find him

(telephone beeps)

Same old sh*t.

(suspenseful music)

(birds chirping)

Good morning.

Good morning.

[Tina] I thought you wasn't

gonna make breakfast today?

You know I miss my routine.

(water splashing)

(dog barking)

(muffled hiphop music)

(dog continues barking)

So like said on the

phone, it's all respect.

Real brotherhood sh*t over here.

None of that backstabbing

or belligerent sh*t

like Black got going on.

I ain't teach that n*gga that.

Ain't that right, Gotti?

That's a fact.

Man, I hear all that sh*t, OG.

But you gotta watch that n*gga Black, man.

I raised Black since

a young one. (chuckles)

He follows my lead.

Then you wanna know something?

I was thinking the exact same thing.

That n*gga Black just like you, bruh,

but times two.

Man, Black don't give a f*ck.

I hear you, young buck.

I don't give a f*ck either.

And I'm the n*gga around this b*tch.

Black do as I say.

What about the operation?

So look, man, this is how it's gonna go.

I already ran the sh*t to Sophia.

I know exactly where the cash at.

We gonna hit the spot,

get the dough and we out that b*tch.

[OG] That's what I'm

talking about, young buck.

Let's get that money.

Say less.

(birds chirping)

[Victim] You know there ain't

no coming back from this, right?

(suspenseful music)

f*ck you! You gonna get yours, Black!

Nah.

f*ck you.

(g*nsh*t blasts)

(dramatic music)

(traffic roaring)

(birds chirping)

Yeah, I'll hit you back.

What do we have here?

Homicide looks like.

Black male, mid 50s.

g*nsh*t wound to the head.

Another one?

Yeah, Detective, I know.

This sh*t's gonna stop under my watch.

I took an oath to protect and serve.

Detective?

I think I have something.

I'll take it, thank you.

Thank you.

Mother...

(birds chirping)

(solemn hiphop music)

(solemn music continues)

(light R&B music)

So I like it Troy, but

I think at the bridge

we should repeat that part

and maybe we can

modulate it just a little bit.

All right, y'all like that?

All right, let's do it.

Good. Okay.

Three, two, one.

They that wait on the Lord

He shall renew their strength

They shall mount up

with wings as eagles

They that wait on the Lord

He shall renew their strength

They shall mount up

with wings as eagles

All right.

That's it. That's it.

That sound exactly how I wrote it.

But I think, what you think, Troy?

I think we should do it in the staccato.

I think the staccato

would give it a different type of meaning.

What y'all think?

- Yeah.

- All right, let's try that.

Three, two, one, go.

They that wait on the Lord

They shall renew their strength

They shall mount up

with wings as eagles

They that wait on the Lord

All right, y'all. Let's take five.

He shall renew

Gimme a minute. Let's take five.

Y'all take a break real quick. All right?

Hey man, it's a choir rehearsal.

What you want, man?

I need to holler at you real quick.

So you dump that bullshit

a*s back at the lane?

Hey man, watch your mouth.

We in church.

I don't give a f*ck where we at, man.

Where was your God at when Mama died, huh?

Hey, watch your mouth.

We in church.

What's up, man?

I need to bring in a new

lead on my paper operation.

New lead?

You talking about for the counterfeit?

What's up with your boy, Leroy?

(Black chuckles)

Let's just say he been...

Hey, you know what? You right.

Forgive me, Father.

He been messing up on the job.

Look, I can't do it.

So you think I'm asking?

Hey, you see I got this

music thing going on, right?

I got too much other ventures going on.

I'm trying to get out

the game and go legit.

I can't do it.

You know I like to preach myself, huh?

But look, check this out.

Listen to this plan.

What if we just change the

cigar lounge into a restaurant?

We'll get way more customers.

Everybody eat, right?

We'll make way more money.

What you think about that?

I'm f*cking with it.

You...

Forgive me, Father.

Look I gotta get back to rehearsal, man.

What's up? You done?

- You wrote it?

- Of course, man.

What the f*ck you on?

Might as well go work at Taco Bell.

Let me explain to you, my n*gga.

David.

We hustlers, bro.

Look, work don't come to you, n*gga.

You go get it.

Man, you know that sh*t.

(David sighs)

Man, what's your minimum?

My n*gga, that's a question.

A stack, bro.

Say what now?

A thousand dollars.

Say that sh*t with

your chest then, n*gga.

n*gga, I said a stack.

Well, look like you short, my boy.

I can most definitely count, B.

Oh, you got jokes today, huh?

My n*gga, I'm already stressed out.

This sh*t here ain't helping.

What this is?

I was under the impression

it was a family business.

I guess I was wrong though.

(suspenseful music)

You right, my boy.

But look,

when you ready to get some real money,

come holler at me.

[David] That's what's up, bro.

(David coughs)

[Kim] Food almost ready?

Almost.

Who the f*ck do we owe the honors to?

Who is it?

Your son.

Hey, baby.

[Narrator] Now this

here is my mama, Ashley,

and Kim.

See, back in the day my mama

and Black's mama, Aunt Amanda,

used to be super tight.

Growing up, you could

never separate them for sh*t.

And now that Amanda is gone,

Kim kind of filled that

void in my mama's life.

Hey, now.

What's up, Auntie?

[Kim] What you doing over here?

Damn, I can't come see my mama?

James, I know you like I

know a bad batch of lean.

What's up with you?

Leave my baby alone.

You hungry?

- Yes ma'am.

- All right.

I'm gonna fix you some pot roast.

It's almost done.

All right.

(James sighs)

So you gonna make me ask

you again or you gonna tell me?

Black being Black.

You already know.

That n*gga is lucky he is my sister's boy

'cause I would've been

took his a*s out myself.

Nah, facts.

Yeah I been trying to

tell him, let's go legit.

But you know how he is though.

You know the crazy part about that sh*t?

He think that's all he capable of

when I know he better than that.

It's just like, man,

I be trying to get through to him

but don't nothing work though.

You don't know how to get through to him?

n*gga, you always sticking up for him.

Just like when we were kids,

this m*therf*cker stay fighting

and here you come

trying to run to his rescue

with your non-fighting a*s

like you actually can whoop something.

Nah, you right though.

But that's when we were kids.

Yeah, but that's my dog.

I can't give up on him now.

Me neither.

Especially since my sister passed

and you know he don't listen

to nobody but me and you.

But you still need to be careful

'cause while Black out here wilding out,

who looking after you?

Ain't you the one always

quoting that Bible sh*t?

Time to put the foolish things aside.

I'm serious though.

I don't wanna see nothing

happen to either one of y'all.

You know I love you, right, knucklehead?

I love you too, Auntie.

So you gonna tell me

what really happened?

Family business.

(Kim chuckles)

James, I am family.

And don't you ever forget that sh*t.

What would you like to drink, son?

(dramatic music)

(clock ticking)

I'm sick of this b*tch a*s n*gga.

This n*gga want to play?

Yeah, he got the right b*tch today.

(suspenseful music)

- What's up, my man?

- You all right?

What's up, Black?

Let me holler at you, man.

Wait, hold on.

That look like him right there.

Pull up, pull up!

(suspenseful music)

Go, go! Pull up!

(g*nshots blasting)

(tires screeching)

(driver shouting)

(g*nshots blasting)

(suspenseful music)

f*ck!

What the f*ck y'all

doing all that sh*t for?

Man, that b*tch can't sh**t.

You saying that sh*t like

b*ll*ts got names on 'em.

(Black chuckles)

Man, lemme break it

down to you real quick.

Chemistry was good while it lasted.

Went to grade school together,

you know what I'm saying?

Grew up together.

But she was on the tit for tat sh*t.

She thought I was f*cking with her sister.

n*gga, knowing you. Was you?

(scoffs) Really wasn't though.

I f*ck with her, but nevertheless,

she always try to sh**t

me every chance she get.

I think the b*tch hiding

something from me, bro.

Man, what make you say that?

Can't call it.

Look, bro.

f*ck all the bullshit.

You remember the situation from earlier?

You was wrong for that sh*t, bro.

Tell you nothing, my brother.

It's community p*ssy.

f*ck you want me to do? Apologize?

(laughs) Get outta here.

(hands slapping)

[David] Let's give Black a buffer.

(cellphone buzzing)

Hey, I'll take the call real quick.

We'll finish this up.

What's up?

Where you at? We need to talk.

[Black] My favorite lady.

Man, what it do, Auntie?

James told me you wanna holler at me.

So why the f*ck you ain't call me?

[Black] You know I'm busy.

I was gonna get to it though.

Black, you know what?

You full of sh*t.

I, I just wanna know what you did to James.

[Black] Now, what the

f*ck you talking about?

What'd he say?

Relax.

He ain't say much. I just know y'all.

[Black] Yeah I hear you.

And whatever the f*ck

it is y'all got going on,

y'all need to dead that sh*t right now.

I'm pretty sure it ain't

even f*cking worth it.

[Black] Nah, you know I got you.

I've just been a little stressed, alright?

I'm serious, Black.

I'm not trying to be caught up

in the middle of you and James' bullshit.

[Black] I know there's

a lot going on lately.

You do realize we

practically raised each other

after your mom passed, right?

Well, she was my sister

and at the end of the day I'm

not gonna let anything happen

to either one of you n*gg*s on my watch.

(Black chuckles) (cellphone beeps)

- What's up?

- Got something important.

Got a quick deal real quick.

I'ma f*ck with you.

Hey, you know it was all love, huh?

- Right.

Huh?

Say it, bro.

I need good people, man.

Get in the f*cking car.

They're your people, n*gga.

You get in the car.

I ain't getting in the car with you.

Baby, can you come on here.

You know I don't like

being out here too long.

Damn, b*tch.

You can't be trippin'

if you gonna be out here with me, okay?

I know it's just,

you know there's n*gg*s out here

who really don't like my daddy.

I'm just scared somebody

gonna recognize me.

Just f*cking relax.

You know you ain't got sh*t

to worry about if you with me.

(suspenseful music)

Is Black on the way?

Man, I checked in. You know Black.

He always talking in riddles

talking about some chess

not checkers and sh*t.

What the f*ck that mean anyway?

Man, I don't even know.

So is he coming or what?

Hey, Black don't miss

no smoke check, man.

Well, I think we should

take some of these free shots

while we wait on him.

You know, get a little buzz going.

Yo man, every time you

come into my establishment

my liquor gotta be free, man.

Because it's your establishment, OG.

Why in the hell we pay

for anything in here?

Man, look I ain't

taught your boys nothing.

Why you always bring your

sucker door around, man?

And while you at it,

please make sure you

pull from the top shelf

because I could taste the difference

between Casamigos and El Jimador

because last time you got to

burn the back of my throat out.

You know what I mean?

Tighten up, man. Come on now.

Say fellas, I don't think he's coming.

Hey, if he say he'll be here,

he gonna be here, bro.

Black be moving different lately though.

Man, watch out.

That's family, man.

And I'm my brother's keeper.

I don't think you pulled

that from the top shelf, OG.

[Eric] Man, how the

hell you hit the top shelf?

Just hear me out, hear me out.

Top shelf, there's marriage, kids,

white picket fence, playing in the yard.

Bottom shelf, that's baby mama,

nine to eight maximum,

nappy edges, child support.

Hey don't give him

nothing else to drink, bro.

Nothing, he done.

Yo, it's seven o'clock, man.

Let's get these shots, brothers.

Before we drink, I'm gonna say a few words.

Oh.

Got out the game now.

You need to slow down and be careful, man.

You guys out here

looking kind of weak, man.

Mad vulnerable and moving kind of sloppy.

Kind of ignorant, man.

Very vulnerable, man.

Y'all looking kind of weak out here, man.

Man, what type of,

"Word is bond, word to mother,"

Dr. Omar woke sh*t is you on, bruh?

We just here to drink, man.

Can we do that?

[Black] sh*t, not without me.

[James] I told y'all he would be here.

Of course.

Chess not checkers, my boy.

Here you go again talking

that, "Chess not checkers."

Hey, you guys out here trying

to be kings on the board, man.

Y'all really out here

moving like pawns, man.

I always told you the game, brother.

The pawn can rise up, man.

You might be a pawn today.

Maybe you might be a king tomorrow, man.

Stop being weak out here, man.

I'm gonna talk to you too, man.

Mano a mano.

Respect, OG.

(glasses clinking)

Ah.

All right, fellas.

Let's get straight to it.

Hey, whatever they said I did,

I ain't do that sh*t.

n*gga, did you forget that I know you?

I probably did it.

I ain't do it the way

they said I did it though.

It's a difference. You

know what I'm saying?

See, you forgot that I'm

here to protect your a*s.

That's what I'm here to establish.

Mm, that's why you the

good side of the family, huh?

Bro, you went to college

and graduated just like us.

Bro, cheating on all that sh*t.

I was there for the ladies.

You know me.

Whatever.

For now we need to establish an alibi.

Where the f*ck were you last night?

Before we get into that, man,

it's a little situation I

need to run past you.

Been meaning to

talk to you about that, D.

Yeah I've been trying to find you

so we can talk about, um...

Michael.

Michael?

Yeah, man.

He been moving fake money into cigar boxes.

We're gonna deal with that

counterfeiting sh*t though.

That's that outside work.

It's respect though

that needs establishing.

Nah, bro. Not Michael.

I got my sources.

Man, I need a stick bro.

Say listen to me, boy.

I got your favorite right here.

Mm-hmm.

Let me see that wrapper?

It's lit, D.

You know that's my favorite stick.

(suspenseful music)

Damn me, man.

Man, where the f*ck were you last night?

What the f*ck wrong with you?

Business, man.

Bro, I was handling business.

Business, huh?

Well, then why did I

get a call this morning?

1050, possible homicide.

(suspenseful music)

Found that on the crime scene.

[Black] Hmm.

[Derrick] Man, I can't

keep doing this sh*t, bro.

Doing what?

As much as we've been through,

I'm my brother's keeper, man.

(suspenseful music)

Yeah, I'm my brother's keeper

but my brother has to grow the f*ck up

so I don't have to keep

covering his sh*t up every day.

n*gga, I saved your life!

And I've been saving

yours every second since!

Shots.

Hey man, we need some more shots.

(suspenseful music)

You would've died out

there if it weren't for me.

Dying for my country

and dying for covering up your bullshit

are two different things, my brother.

All right, hey.

Say, maybe we should

just chill for a minute.

You stay out, man.

They gotta work it out.

It's the leaf, man.

That's what the leaf do.

(suspenseful music)

but, uh, Black?

Hey man, what the hell you done did?

ain't come here for that.

We came here to drink.

So OG, pop me up some

more of that bullshit a*s tequila

so we can keep this party going.

Man, one day we gonna be

held accountable for our actions.

I keep trying to tell y'all that sh*t, man.

Something gotta change, bro.

We can't keep doing this sh*t.

Hey bro, I'm gone.

I got a music gig, man.

I'm gonna catch y'all later, bro.

Hey, I got some work on the side.

I'll catch y'all later.

Appreciate you, OG.

Hey, so ain't nobody

gonna stay and drink?

It's free.

Y'all n*gg*s too emotional, bro.

Free liquor.

I'ma stay here and drink at all

'cause I ain't got sh*t to do.

I ain't got no kids. I ain't got no wife.

I got no job.

I'm trying to f*ck though.

(intense music)

I got the blood line

of K*llers and shooters

No kings and rulers

Daddy was long gone, pop up and gone

Before we had Uber

let me out on that grind

I needed a little work

start selling that pine

And selling that perc

I made up my money,

nobody gonna pick me up

Put that on guard

And hope it don't leave

for food on my table

When mama want work

And remember some nights

she was aching and hurting

She really paid the price

Stopping the swelling with ice

Daddy was all by myself

So we only had one maneuver

Pack up the bags let's go

while screaming out Hallelujah

Daddy did 30 strong

Broke it last week

said he gonna be home

Got off on good behavior

Looking this way, but I cannot save you

I cannot give him no favor

Used to be willing and able

For all the ones I'm turning my back

Let's put all the cards on the table

Let's put all the cards on the table

Cards on table, cards on the table

Let's put all the cards on the table

Cards on the table, cards on the table

When I was young

Small as a pea was me and my momma

Nothing but weed

Let's put all the cards on the table

- Hey, babe.

- What's up, baby? You good?

Yeah, I'm good.

You looking good.

How was work today?

(sighs) Work was good.

It was just busy.

It was busy today.

You know, busy always a good thing, huh?

Yeah, I guess so.

How you feel?

(sighs) I'm a little stressed out.

I ain't gonna lie.

I got you.

You know I don't like to hear that, huh?

I got something to ease your mind.

Babe, no, not today.

I haven't did that sh*t since college.

Georgia, come on now.

I don't wanna hear that sh*t.

I'm not gonna do nothing to harm you.

(Georgia snorts)

Yeah, see that?

- Oh, damn.

So babe, I saw your boy and Michael today

Yes babe, Michael.

(suspenseful music)

(Georgia snorts)

I appreciate that.

I'm gonna have to go take care of that boy.

You know I can always count on you.

You know I got you.

(suspenseful music)

Well, you know I

I need to go take care of that.

(suspenseful music)

(Lisa laughing)

Man, shut that goofy a*s

laughing sh*t the f*ck up.

You know I hate that sh*t.

I've been following this

n*gga's schedule, right?

Every morning he has

breakfast with his sister,

then he go to the strip club,

then he meet with his soldiers

and Leroy already told

us he got a thing for you.

So this sh*t should be easy.

(suspenseful music)

I don't, I don't know, Gotti.

Look, I couldn't get

that soft a*s n*gga David

to get on board.

So Lisa, you the missing

piece of this puzzle.

I, I just feel nervous as f*ck, babe.

Nervous? This sh*t easy.

You just gotta get this n*gga this poison.

I don't know if I can do it because-

- b*tch, you heard what the f*ck I said.

(ominous music)

Now lucky for you,

So tomorrow morning this sh*t goes down.

(suspenseful music)

(dramatic hiphop music)

(birds chirping)

No, babe.

Stop, babe,

Mm-mm, come here.

No, for real stop.

And plus I need to talk to you.

We ain't got sh*t to talk about.

And plus I just gave you some last night.

Where your little girlfriend at?

Ain't nobody over me and you.

The f*ck you on right now?

You don't never tell me no.

I might...

Nothing.

Nah, might be what?

The f*ck you talking about?

Nothing.

I'm just a little stressed

and bills just keep piling up.

You know the shop ain't really

paying much right now anyway.

Mm-hmm, I hear you.

Lemme tell you something.

One of your greatest

abilities is accountability.

I'm here for you.

I need you just as much as you need me.

I don't hear that sh*t about no bills,

scratch, females, none of that sh*t.

I got you.

You hear me?

Yeah, I hear you.

I know you always got me though.

Well look, I think I'll

So I'm gonna just lay you

Alright.

I'ma come check on you.

- All right?

- Okay.

(butter sizzling)

Well, look who's down

I mean, you were asleep.

I had to stick to my routine.

You know, I wasn't

feeling well this morning.

You good?

Like you caught a flu or something?

No, it's nothing like that.

What you over here cooking?

You know, just a little something.

Eggs, bacon, pancakes, grits.

[Both] Sugar, no salt.

(laughs) You know what?

I might have raised you

right after all, brother.

Huh, you? Raise me?

Where they do that at?

I'm older than you, man. Come on.

Well, if I didn't then

who the hell else did?

And you know I would say I

did a good job of raising you

if you would just stay

your a*s outta trouble.

You gonna tell me about last night or what?

Ain't sh*t to nobody last night.

Don't f*cking lie to me, Christopher.

I'm Christopher now? (chuckles)

That Black sh*t?

That's for out there.

Like I said, I'm your sister

and I know what's best for you.

What's going on?

Tina, look, I'm having

a good morning, all right?

You're about to piss me the f*ck off.

Ooh, Christopher's pissed off.

None of that sh*t scares me.

I just want what's best for you.

Baby, look, I want

what's best for you too.

All right?

I'm always love. You

stay on the right path.

That's what me and Mama wanted for you.

You got me?

You know, you lucky you remember her.

It's like I remember her but

then I don't remember her.

You know, Tina,

sometimes remembering is the hardest thing.

Sit down.

Lemme get you this breakfast.

(traffic roaring)

- What's good, bro?

- What's going on?

There's so much sh*t going on.

Yeah, you telling me. Too much going on.

You don't even know the half.

That's a fact.

- What's up, James?

- What's going on?

- How you doing, big man?

- I'm all right.

Hey yo, Mike, I left the

keys in the back for you.

Make sure you lock up after

Okay.

But listen, that second rat

You good?

Yeah, just a lot going on, bro.

We gotta make some shake quick.

Hmm.

Hey I can trust you, right, Mike?

[Michael] Of course.

All right, look, I got a plan.

We can expand the cigar

lounge to a restaurant.

Bring in a different demographic

that'll bring us way more

money than we ever made.

- That sh*t sound alive.

- Yeah, it do.

See the thing is we

Black already down with it.

Man, you know Black liable

Man, cous will listen to me though.

- Hey y'all.

- Tina, what's good?

You know you would know

but you think Christopher

Man, you know you

Stop playing.

Our family is small. I'm

your only female cousin.

Easy win.

But what's good though? What's wrong?

Nothing much.

Just been ripping and running

with this catering business.

You know I gotta get it.

- She a hustler, boy.

- It's in our blood.

There's nothing sexier

than a woman that work.

Well thank you, sir.

How you feeling though?

You feeling better today?

I am.

What you got going on today though?

Nothing, I just got these

new business cards in.

I wanted to stop by and give y'all some

[Michael] Of course.

Stop, Michael.

Stop what? You look beautiful.

- Cut it out.

- Cut out what?

You glowing today.

Something about you look different.

What you doing later on?

Nothing. I got this new recipe.

I want you to be the taster.

You want me to taste you?

Hey, cut that sh*t out, man.

No, but for real. I want

you to be my sous chef.

(laughs) I don't know

what a sous chef is,

but whatever it is I'm in.

Alright, cool.

I'll text you later. Bye James.

Hey, stay outta trouble, T.

Trouble is my middle name.

You know who my brother is.

Hey, what the f*ck was that?

What the f*ck was what?

She's beautiful, bro.

Hey, that's family.

If Black found out you

trying to f*ck with his sister

he'd k*ll you, bro.

Who said I'm trying?

(traffic roaring)

Um, I'm sorry to bother you

but would you happen to know

which one of these is the better cigar?

Depend on what you're looking for.

You want something light

or something with a little kick to it?

I think something light,

I'm, I'm just a beginner.

- Beginner, huh?

- Mm-hmm.

Well look, get this one.

I think it fits you best.

It's a mid bite stick.

Has a little cocoa to it.

Smokes well, I think you'll enjoy it.

So let me guess,

you get your feet and

nails done every week, huh?

How did you know that?

I could see it in your eyes.

You carry yourself with elegance.

Provide a lot of detail.

Your hair, everybody can't pull that off.

That dress.

I mean, like a masterpiece.

All I can say is damn.

Thank you, Black.

I haven't received a

compliment in a long time.

(suspenseful music)

How you know my name?

Huh?

Oh no, no.

I'm sorry, that's not what I meant.

I meant the cigar is black.

So you like 'em long and black, huh?

What?

No! (laughs)

No.

I like your laugh.

I'm Christopher.

My people call me Black.

Well, what a coincidence.

Well, it's nice to meet you Christopher.

I'm Lisa.

(cellphone buzzing)

Um...

(Lisa laughs)

Again, it was nice meeting

you but I, I really have to go.

I'd love to see you again.

Yeah, I'd like that.

Lemme give you my phone number.

sh*t, say less.

You know what to do.

Have a nice night.

Nah, you need to sit down for a minute.

Lemme get you a drink.

Come on, one ain't gonna hurt you.

Just one drink.

Just one.

Well what do they have?

We got a open bar, baby.

Anything you want we can make.

Well, in that case, can I

get a brandy Manhattan?

Hmm, dark liquor.

You like everything black, huh?

I guess so.

[Black] Lemme get a brandy Manhattan.

For who? That b*tch that just walked in?

No, don't do that.

You know my vibe.

Uh-huh, don't get hurt, Black.

You know I don't play like that.

(cellphone buzzing)

Hello?

[Caller] What the f*ck is you doing?

This sh*t should be done by now.

Don't f*ck this sh*t up

or I'm gonna f*ck you up.

(cellphone beeps)

(suspenseful music)

(ice cubes rattling)

Look at me.

You my eyes and ears.

I need you to stay focused.

- You got me?

- Yeah, I got you.

(Lisa sighs)

Here you go.

Brandy Manhattan just like you like it.

I made it look sweet for you

because you look like honey.

Do you treat all the ladies like this?

Honestly, no.

I mean, look at you.

I'm attracted to you.

We got some chemistry here.

You're so sweet.

I try to be.

(cellphone buzzing)

(Lisa sighs)

You good?

Yeah, but this time I,

I really do have to go.

And again, it was nice to meet you.

I'm a gentleman.

I give women hugs, not handshakes.

Okay. (laughs)

(suspenseful music)

Damn.

You know you my favorite chef, right?

n*gga, I'm my only chef you know.

- No you not.

- Name one.

My mama, my auntie, my granny.

My whole family can cook.

And they are cooks, not chefs.

Okay.

But I get what you're saying.

You know Black can cook too. I taught him.

Black can't do no cooking.

Yes he can. Trust me.

He's got a lot of secrets.

Yeah, so do I.

(sighs) Don't start.

We're having a good night.

You right.

You know I'm really tired of

being your sneaky link, right?

It's been three whole years.

Christopher would go f*cking crazy

if he knew you and I were

together this entire time.

Man, f*ck Black.

I'm tired of basing everything

I do based on his decision.

He's my brother.

Yeah, and I'm your man.

Or am I?

It's just more

complicated than you think.

No, it's not complicated.

But you making it that way.

We've had the happiest three years ever.

And we've been doing it all in secret.

Just gimme some more time, Michael.

I've given you plenty of

time and your time running out.

What the f*ck is wrong?

This sh*t should be done by now.

n*gg*s should be calling my phone

telling me this n*gga Black is dead.

Did you pour enough?

Yes.

Nah, you couldn't have.

You so f*cking stupid.

I knew you would f*ck this sh*t up.

Man, Papa would be

disgusted with your dumb a*s.

Don't you dare bring

my daddy into this sh*t.

My daddy knows how to talk to me.

You don't even know

how to f*cking talk to me!

Who the f*ck is you yelling at?

(Lisa sobbing)

What's your f*cking problem?

Papa would've put you

in your place growing up,

I wouldn't have to now.

(dog barking distantly)

(Lisa sobbing)

I'm sorry.

Yeah, you sorry all right.

Hey, text that n*gga and

tell him where to meet you.

Hey.

(traffic roaring)

- How's it going, boy?

- You tell me.

- Are you good?

- Solid.

You seen your brother around?

I ain't gonna lie, brother.

I got a lot of sh*t to do.

Babysitting n*gg*s is not one of 'em.

That's a bet.

Hey, when you put eyes on him, let me know.

I got you.

We good?

Solid, baby. You straight?

Hanging in there.

I think I'm gonna handle

some sh*t real quick.

- Right on.

- I'ma f*ck with you, aight?

Handle your business, bro.

Hey, stay dangerous.

(suspenseful music)

Come on, hurry up. Hurry up.

It's only three places where it could be.

Hurry up.

(suspenseful music)

Where the f*ck is he at?

I don't know.

Lisa, you better not f*ck this up again.

[Intruder] You ain't found this sh*t yet?

No, n*gga. Keep looking.

Damn.

This n*gga got another b*tch pregnant?

Oh sh*t. (dramatic music)

Tear this b*tch up, n*gga.

Hurry up!

(suspenseful music)

Hurry up! Hurry up!

Keep it grounded.

I don't know.

(dramatic music)

Go, go, go.

(intruders' voices echoing)

Get it, get it, get it.

Go, go, go. Here we go.

Let's go, let's go.

(dramatic music)

(light jazzy music)

[Black] Lisa?

Sorry I'm late. I had to change.

You're here.

I didn't think you was gonna show up.

Of course I'm gonna pull up for you.

Actually happy to see you.

Appreciate that.

But the pleasure's all mine.

I was just starting to think

you didn't like me like that.

- Like you?

- Mm-hmm.

That's an understatement.

So how was your day?

It's a lot going on,

to be honest with you.

Appreciate you asking, but it was good.

We trying to build a five

star black-owned restaurant.

They ain't doing that in Houston.

Trying to do things the right way.

I've been talking to Cousin James.

Well, I wanna talk to you.

Talk.

You get my full undivided attention.

So tell me about yourself.

What do you wanna know?

Everything.

What's your favorite color?

Where you from? Everything.

Okay, well my favorite color is fuchsia.

- Fuchsia.

- Mm-hmm.

Oh, you fancy, huh?

(Lisa laughs)

Well, I guess you could say

I didn't really have a normal upbringing.

I had a sheltered life growing up

and I stayed with my mom in California.

Didn't really see my dad.

I would come to Texas

sometime during the summer

and my dad, he was a hustler,

and I was his princess

and he would give me anything I wanted.

My dad was the best.

He always taught me

that a man should know

how to treat a woman.

He should treat her as his queen.

He could be really sweet but

dangerous and vicious at times.

(dramatic music)

Snitches don't get stitches.

They get b*ll*ts, b*tch.

(g*nsh*t blasts)

As much as I loved that

man, he was so hard to trust.

(dramatic music)

For all his faults though,

he was still my dad and I really miss him.

(cartoonish music)

[Popeye] Whoa, sweet pea.

Oh, sweet pea. Oh, there you are.

If you get your sh*t together one day

I might introduce you

to my little girl Lisa.

Gimme the remote, little nephew.

(crowd cheering)

[TV Announcer] Drexler,

Thomas to rebound

the lead is three for the-

(dramatic music)

Black?

(ominous music)

Black? Black?

(g*nsh*t blasts)

- Yo.

- Are you, are you okay?

I'm good, I'm good.

Hey, how about we get

outta here real quick?

Um, we haven't even gotten our food yet.

Don't worry about all that.

You got a chef right in front of you.

You gonna cook for me?

I got you.

I can show you, man. I can take you.

Let's get outta here.

(slow R&B music)

What happened to my door?

Someone broke in my house?

sh*t!

f*ck!

They took my sh*t!

f*ck!

Okay, yo.

All right, think.

That's who did it.

Tina, you need to come home now.

I don't wanna hear that sh*t.

Come home now!

(solemn hiphop music)

(mysterious music)

What the f*ck is this?

Who would do this sh*t to us?

Chris, this is all your fault.

If you would stay your a*s out the streets

and stay out of trouble,

none of this sh*t would happen.

I cannot keep living like this, Chris.

I'm gonna ask you one time.

Has anybody been in this house?

No.

Has anybody been in

this m*therf*cking house?

Michael, but that's it.

(suspenseful hiphop music)

Michael, huh?

I needed some help from the hub

and he helped me get the stuff here.

That is it.

I can't believe this sh*t.

I just can't believe it.

Neither can I.

Yeah, that sh*t was f*cking perfect.

Hell yeah.

You going to his house and sh*t.

Hey, I ain't gonna hold you.

That sh*t was f*cking genius.

Yeah.

n*gga, it's gone.

What's gone?

The f*cking money!

We had the stash for the restaurant.

Everything is gone.

I thought you had

that locked up in a safe.

How is the money gone, bro?

I did, bro.

You know how to move.

So how the f*ck they know

where the money went, Black?

That's a good question.

You tell me.

n*gga, this your crib.

How I'm supposed to know?

I know that look, Black.

Don't do nothing crazy, bro.

Nah, this n*gga about 30 seconds

from telling me the m*therf*cking truth.

Was that a threat?

Wait, wait, Black.

Man, what is this all about?

Nah, that's not no threat, my n*gga.

You think I stole your sh*t?

Listen bro, I don't want sh*t you got.

- Yeah?

- And I stand on that.

I'm not lying to you, Black.

Hmm.

Except for f*cking my sister, huh?

She told you?

Nah.

You just did.

(plastic clatters)

She's pregnant?

You know where the f*ck the money at!

Black, put that g*n down, man. What?

I have to step outside and make a call.

See if the neighbors or

anybody saw anything.

Man, f*ck!

Hey, bro.

You gotta calm the f*ck down.

Bruh, this n*gga got my sister pregnant.

My money gone! f*ck you want me to do?

Oh, what I always tell you, bro?

God is you just gotta trust, bro.

n*gga, I respect you.

That sh*t ain't never worked for me.

Okay. Okay.

Look, man, you are in luck.

So the neighbor got a plate off a car

speeding out the

neighborhood not too long ago.

I got somebody downtown running it.

Whatever comes outta

this, you let me handle this.

Nah, D.

This one personal.

The last time you tried to handle it,

you almost f*cking got caught.

Man, I can't keep doing this sh*t.

Man, I have a family and

a job to think about too.

Gimme the name and an address.

That's it!

And that's it.

After that you're on your own.

Do you hear me talking to you?

Yeah, on my own.

What you got for me?

Bro, I ain't never snitched.

So you've been working with him?

Hell no.

That's just a little young n*gga

I used to know from back in the day.

I used to bust his mama down but she died.

I used to go visit him from time to time.

Felt sorry for the little n*gga.

You know, like a stepdad.

I showed him the game.

Anyway, how the f*ck you know him?

Damn, small world, huh?

We served in the military together.

- Oh yeah?

- Yeah.

Appreciate you for the information.

Okay.

They have an address.

But look, I think you need

to let the police handle this one.

Nah, f*ck that.

They broke in my house, took my money.

I got this one.

But we don't even know

who we're dealing with.

I'm waiting on the department

to call me with the name.

This is your moment, nephew.

Let them handle it.

Walk away from this life.

Be done with it for good.

Say bro, look around. We blessed.

All right, we gonna get that bread back.

We gonna be straight, bro. Trust me.

Hmm.

Man, this hustling is all I know.

Easy for you to say, huh?

You got everything you need.

Beautiful wife.

Your mama right here.

Mine gone, bruh.

She ain't never coming back.

All this hustling, going back and forth.

Woman to woman.

I want none of that sh*t!

All I want is my mama.

n*gga, you don't think

I miss my sister too?

That pain still run deep

for everybody in this room.

And if she knew that you were out here

dealing with the same sh*t

that put her in her grave,

she'll be in this f*cking room

right now upside your f*cking head.

All Mama wanted for you, Christopher,

was for you to do better than her.

If you don't do it for her,

do it for me, do it for my child.

Man, you got too much going for yourself

to to throw it away over this sh*t.

You done got through the

military, graduated college,

and you're willing to die on these streets

over some bullshit?

I just wanna take care of my family.

Avoid these demons.

Hey, you gotta believe in

something higher than yourself.

I think you did this all by yourself, bro.

You ain't do this on your own. Trust me.

We've always been in this together.

Continuously watching your back.

Always holding this sh*t down.

Forever my brother's keeper.

Willing to do whatever to protect.

Hey, we been there

with you step by step, bro.

I've been praying for you.

I'm always praying for you.
