00:00:00Chicago, a city so diverse, yeah so divided.
00:00:22Make no mistake, tradition lives here, you can feel it in the streets, but you can't
00:00:28be timid, if you want some, you gotta go get it, it's as simple as that.
00:00:36It may be a beautiful place to visit, but living here is completely different.
00:00:43Chicago can either make you great, or it can break you badly, the outcome is dependent
00:00:49on you and what block you stay on.
00:00:53I'm proud to call this city my home, cause ain't no other city like it, that's on me.
00:00:59This city has created countless legends, and everyday I fight to become one.
00:01:05But that dream is nearly impossible, when the entire environment is against you.
00:01:12Death, drugs, corrupt cops, block boys, it's not your ideal place to live.
00:01:23It isn't all bad though, here in Chicago we known for our good food, our cool people, our
00:01:30good vibes, our superb summers, and our harsh winters.
00:01:37You can build strong character here and thrive, but you need to keep your head on the swivel,
00:01:43and watch them corners.
00:01:47This is my life, this is my life, this is my life, this is my life in Chicago.
00:01:53Hey you ever thought about leaving the hood?
00:01:54This is my life in Chicago, this is my life in Chicago.

00:02:05This all I know, for real, for real.
00:02:07Exactly. The hood is all you know.
00:02:10I don't mean it's been good to you.
00:02:12I'm going to school down south.
00:02:14Good weather, good food, bad female.
00:02:18You ugly. I swear.
00:02:20Come with me, bro. You'll see.
00:02:22The hood ain't what it's cracked up to be, bro.

00:02:32Nah. Chill out. Yeah?
00:02:34Chill out. Chill out.

00:02:43It better have everything you just said, though.
00:02:45I promise you, bro.
00:02:46I'm talking about if I don't see Tyler Perry
00:02:48and some fine women down there, bro, we got a problem.
00:02:51I ain't doing that, bro. You with me?
00:02:53I'm right back to the block.
00:02:55I'm going to be right back.
00:02:56All right, bro.
00:02:58All right, bro.
00:03:00I'm trusting.
00:03:01All right. I ain't going to let you down, bro.
00:03:03Trust me.
00:03:04All right.
00:03:11Yes, he's here now.
00:03:13Black hoodie, black pants.
00:03:15Low cut hair in his early 20s.
00:03:18I need the police now.
00:03:20Bro, who are you talking to?
00:03:22I'm talking to the police, and I'm calling for you.
00:03:25You robbed my store last time.
00:03:27I never forget a face.
00:03:29Bro, you are tweaking, fam.
00:03:30I'm tweaking, bleaking nothing.
00:03:31Why would I come back in the store that I robbed?
00:03:33I don't know why you would come back to the same store.
00:03:35You said you're calling the police.
00:03:37The police are on their way right now.
00:03:38No, no, no.
00:03:39Look.
00:03:40Come on.
00:03:41Here go your money.
00:03:42I'm out.
00:03:43I'm out.
00:03:44The police are coming.
00:03:45Where are you going?
00:03:46Don't leave.
00:03:47Come back here.
00:03:51Hey, hands up.
00:03:52I said hands up now.
00:03:54Yo.
00:03:55Yo, I didn't do nothing.
00:03:59Don't try me, boy.
00:04:00I will blow your head off.
00:04:02Yo, I didn't do nothing.
00:04:03What's that in your pocket?
00:04:04It's my wallet.
00:04:05Don't lie to me.
00:04:06I can see it sticking out.
00:04:07You've got a gun.
00:04:08I don't have a gun, okay?
00:04:10He's armed.
00:04:11I need backup.
00:04:12I'm not armed, okay?
00:04:13Look.
00:04:25Ted.
00:04:26What the hell was that?
00:04:28He had his hands up.
00:04:29And he had no weapon.
00:04:30Look, in the report,
00:04:31we'll just say that he resisted arrest, alright?
00:04:33This sort of thing happens all the time.
00:04:35It's not even the guy.
00:04:36That means he was telling the truth.
00:04:37Look, you need to get it together before backup gets here, man.
00:04:40No.
00:04:41I'm not covering for you on this one.
00:04:43It looks bad.
00:04:44And with the whole Black Lives Matter thing-
00:04:45Yeah, I'm so sick about hearing all of this.
00:04:47Black Lives Matter shit.
00:04:49We chased down four murders today.
00:04:51Nobody cares.
00:04:52Or notices.
00:04:53And it won't even make the news.
00:04:55Why?
00:04:56Because one young punk killed another one,
00:04:58and they were both Black.
00:04:59But when a fine, upstanding officer such as myself
00:05:02kills a thug who was breaking the law,
00:05:05who happens to be Black,
00:05:07it's a riot.
00:05:08And there's protests and marches and boycotts.
00:05:11Look, if they want their lives to matter to me,
00:05:14it's got to matter to them first.
00:05:16Now tighten it up before backup gets here.
00:05:19You need to get your story straight for this report.
00:05:22That's some bullshit.
00:05:26And you know it.
00:05:27Reporting live from the memorial of the young man, Jacob Jackson, who was tragically gunned down here yesterday evening.
00:05:45Now as you can see here, many have gathered here because multiple residents in the neighborhood claim to have witnessed that a police officer actually shot this young man.
00:05:54Now the police department spokesman confirms that they have credible evidence that this young man was a known gang member and this was a gang-related murder.
00:06:02Well, for now, the community is out in numbers looking for justice.
00:06:07In the meantime, we'll see if that happens.
00:06:09Coming to you live, Chicago, Channel 17.
00:06:12Back to you, Heather.
00:06:13Back to you, Heather.
00:06:16After the police killed my cousin Jacob, my life changed forever.
00:06:22Go to your control where she besotted the children of the young man who was making it.
00:06:43Unsure, how much more can we take, Lord?
00:06:48We've come a long way, it's true.
00:06:52But our women and our men, see our people, are still treated cruel.
00:06:58Am I naive?
00:07:01Is it just me, or could this world be turning sideways?
00:07:07Nowadays.
00:07:13Nowadays, things haven't really changed. I'm afraid it's more of the same old nowadays.
00:07:20Nowadays.
00:07:22Yeah.
00:07:23Tell me, how far have we come? I'll tell you, it just ain't far enough.
00:07:28Oh, nowadays.
00:07:28Nowadays.
00:07:30Nowadays.
00:07:32We protest peacefully, but war is the only time they speak.
00:07:38Oh, nowadays.
00:07:40Nowadays.
00:07:40Same old nowadays, this. Same old nowadays, this same old nowadays.
00:07:48If I can't breathe, if I can't breathe, if I can't breathe, if I can't breathe, if I can't breathe.
00:07:54Yeah.
00:07:55I don't know.
00:08:02I can't breathe, I can't breathe.
00:08:07I can't breathe, I can't breathe.
00:08:12If I can't breathe, if I can't breathe.
00:08:14I'm gonna put my plan, strategize, organize, mobilize.
00:08:18Freedom ain't free, freedom ain't free.
00:08:22No justice, no peace
00:08:24Killer said we got a plot, plan, strategize, organize, mobilize
00:08:28Hope I can't breathe
00:08:29Hope I can't breathe
00:08:32Freedom made free, no justice, no peace
00:08:35Take a ride with me
00:08:52Yeah
00:08:56Yesterday was not a good day
00:09:04A couple of people close to me kind of run me the wrong way
00:09:07Positivity is what I try to keep near
00:09:10As I pursue to chase my goals and elevate my life this year
00:09:13I work a job I hate, I hate to complain
00:09:16But I rather have a job or I'm using my brain
00:09:19Living check to check, I'm just trying to stay sane
00:09:22Without jeopardizing it all in my life being vain
00:09:25See I'm just a man with me and the talents
00:09:27Caught up in all the balance
00:09:29Drugs and alcohol and women I barely call
00:09:32Cause love is overrated
00:09:33When money is not involved
00:09:35Bills late at your table
00:09:37Can't even shop at the mall
00:09:38Lord, so easy to get caught up
00:09:41Forgetting all the lessons that I learned when I was brought up
00:09:44Word, charge it to the game
00:09:47I guess this is the reason that the people know my name
00:09:50I don't know my name, uh
00:09:52I'm livin' a life, I'm livin' a life
00:09:55I'm living a life, I'm living a life, alright, alright, alright
00:10:02I'm living a life, I'm living a life, one hell of a life, alright, alright
00:10:10One hell of a life, alright, alright, alright
00:10:14At times I'm inspired for incidents of my past
00:10:17Thinking about when young got in trouble and laughed
00:10:20I never was bad, just made bad decisions
00:10:23Blame it on you, all my pops being missing
00:10:26No excuses I make, consequences I take
00:10:29Looking for a escape, grandma told me have faith
00:10:32Pray, nowadays I don't have much to say
00:10:36Knowing I need help or pride gets in the way
00:10:39Same food, same job, same money
00:10:41Somebody playing a joke on me, but it ain't funny
00:10:44Young and educated, always motivated
00:10:48Looking toward the day where I can say I made it
00:10:51But scissors like I'm out in the climb
00:10:53Don't watch your time when someone ain't putting the time
00:10:56Grind, word, word
00:10:58Don't be afraid to be dope, you only get a minute at the top
00:11:02Let's keep slow
00:11:04I'm living a life, I'm living a life, I'm living a life, the life, alright
00:11:11I'm living a life, one hell of a life, alright, alright, alright
00:11:17One hell of a life, alright, alright, alright, alright
00:11:28Let's get started
00:11:38Let's get started
00:12:12Before the rise of Alexander the Great.

00:14:29to end up exactly where they want y'all to be,
00:14:32dead or in jail.
00:14:34Get your asses down.
00:14:35It's hard.
00:14:36Now, why are you pulling me over him?
00:14:38I want the only one over there.
00:14:39Listen, you're better than this, man.
00:14:43Why every time there's a fight or a scuffle,
00:14:47you're always in the middle of it.
00:14:49That's going to get you nowhere fast.
00:14:51You need to shape up.
00:14:52What?
00:14:53I choose to work here.
00:14:57I want to encourage young men like yourself to reach your full potential
00:15:01and definitely make sure that you understand anger
00:15:04is not going to solve your problems.
00:15:15Yes, ma'am.
00:15:17Have a good weekend.
00:15:18Ezekiel, remember what I told you?
00:15:23Appreciate it.
00:15:24Hey, excuse me.
00:15:34You open up the bathroom.
00:15:35I'm trying to use it.
00:15:36I was told to lock that door up for the weekend, young man.
00:15:39For real, you right here?
00:15:40You can't unlock it.
00:15:41I'm for the piss on my soul.
00:15:42Well, if you PA yourself, I just mop it right up, my man.
00:15:45Is you for real right now?
00:15:46I'm going to, bro.
00:15:47You vulgar.
00:15:48Oh, man.
00:15:56Get in my way.
00:15:57Oh.
00:15:57Oh.
00:15:58Get in my way.
00:15:58I don't show it, you see his ass boy is bustin' for all my momma, I'm a what, I'm a meet-meet-bop.
00:16:18Fuck you talking about? And this girl is in my DM, I ain't even trying to hit her.
00:16:23Boy, I ain't no hide.
00:16:26Wait!
00:16:28What the fuck you doing over here?
00:16:37Hey, Ty, look, man, I ain't see nothin', I swear, it's no problem.
00:16:40What didn't you see?
00:16:41N-nothing.
00:16:43Well, let me find out you said somethin' about the shit you didn't see.
00:16:47I'll kill you. You in?
00:16:50It's cool.
00:16:52Get the fuck outta here.
00:16:57Ty Lord like a big brother to me. He know my whole family.
00:17:06But the difference between me and Ty, is that he could catch a body and do it with a smile on his face.
00:17:14He took me in after Jacob got shot by the cops.
00:17:18He wanted me to join this gang, but that wasn't for me.
00:17:23One thing's for certain about Ty Lord is that he ain't really no one you wanna mess with.
00:17:32Especially if you catch him doin' somethin' I just saw him do.
00:17:36I had to keep my hair low about that.
00:17:37I had to keep my hair low about that.
00:17:43I woke up this morning feelin' grateful.
00:17:47Brand new day and I'm thankful.
00:17:50The Lord's so good.
00:17:52Yeah, he faithful.
00:17:53Yeah, he faithful.
00:17:55Better get in my way, man.
00:17:57Better get in my face.
00:17:59It's nothin' like that.
00:18:00It's nothin' like that.
00:18:01It's nothin' like that.
00:18:02It's nothin' like that.
00:18:03It's nothin' like that.
00:18:04Shut up, man.
00:18:05Don't shit bein' slow.
00:18:06I ain't got to shake.
00:18:07Don't see how I see this shit.

00:18:53I didn't want to become a product of my environment.
00:18:57Especially not in Chicago.
00:18:59So I thought maybe, just maybe I'll go off to school to Morehouse in Atlanta.
00:19:06That was the problem with that.
00:19:09My grades weren't all that.
00:19:11I ain't had no money.
00:19:13And I ain't play any sports, so I didn't look for any scholarships.
00:19:17Boy, the thing I learned, you gotta work twice as hard to have half as much.
00:19:27I can count this money with my eyes closed.
00:19:31Yeah.
00:19:32I can count this money with my eyes closed.
00:19:35I can count this money with my eyes closed.

00:20:03It's after school.
00:20:04I had to pee and the janitor wouldn't let me in the bathroom, so I bop out to the alley.
00:20:08Then next thing you know, I'm in a sticky situation and, man.
00:20:12Look, look, look.
00:20:13I'm not trying to hear about none of this.
00:20:14You know Carlos, little Carlos Garcia?
00:20:17Yeah, a buddy down the street.
00:20:18He want to work here.
00:20:19And he willing to take less money and he gonna work harder than you.
00:20:23You need to get your stuff together, bro.
00:20:25I'm doing you a favor by letting you work here, Joe.
00:20:28Man, once I go to college, I'm out this bad boy.
00:20:31How?
00:20:32Oh, oh, oh.
00:20:33About that college.
00:20:34I've been meaning to talk to you about that, man.
00:20:36Because I need to give you a reality check.
00:20:39If you've been applying to colleges for two years, I've been hearing you for two years working.
00:20:43Oh, man, when I go to college, I'm gonna get it, man.
00:20:45Like, if you haven't been accepted to a college by now, it's because you're unacceptable.
00:20:52You can't even keep this shop going.
00:20:54These are shoes.
00:20:55You think you can take a test?
00:20:57What, you think you're gonna go be a doctor or a lawyer or something?
00:21:00You need to get a simple job, because you're a simple-minded person.
00:21:04Okay?
00:21:05Why don't you just fire me then, bro?
00:21:07If that's truly how you feel, why don't you just fire me then?
00:21:10You don't want the truth, man.
00:21:12I do want the truth.
00:21:13Tell me.
00:21:14Look, man.
00:21:15Yo, Pops was like a big brother to me, man.
00:21:19When he got locked up, I told him I'd, you know, keep you working.
00:21:23Try to keep you out the streets.
00:21:25So, look, man.
00:21:27Get it together.
00:21:28And like I said, when I come back, this place better be how it's supposed to be, man.
00:21:34I got business to handle.
00:21:35I'm a business owner.
00:21:37Step your game up.
00:21:38Get to work.

00:21:42I will.
00:21:43I will.
00:21:44I'll take you for granted.
00:21:47I'll take you for granted.
00:21:48Can it be loose?
00:21:49Yeah.
00:21:50Uh.

00:21:52I've been making more shades.
00:21:53Shine out like a new rain.
00:21:54High off that propane.
00:21:55Always on the go, man.
00:21:56Money like it grown, man.
00:21:57All on the flow, man.
00:21:58I need a rake.
00:21:59A couple of garbage bags on the bigger safe.
00:22:00No love, got no time for the heartbreak.
00:22:01Break her off, then I leave.
00:22:02She know I can't stay.
00:22:03Jump right back on the track with my foot on the gas, man.
00:22:04I ain't never stopping, never coming down.
00:22:05Everybody that I rock with been around.
00:22:06Been around, but I love my town.
00:22:07If you're talking exponentials, hell, yeah, I touched down.
00:22:08Yeah.
00:22:09Bring it back like 99 when I was on my grind.
00:22:10When everything we did was dedicated to the life we want to live.
00:22:11Now I'm living my life, running wheels.
00:22:26Drop top, hop out chasing meals.
00:22:32уем.
00:22:33Cheers and meals.

00:23:08Yo, yo, yo, what's up?
00:23:21I got your check, man. You a little jumpy, bro. Here.
00:23:23Okay. Thanks, bro. I appreciate it.
00:23:26Relax, man. Stay on the drugs. You ain't too jumpy, bro.
00:23:29All right, Grady, man. Take it easy, man.
00:23:31All right, Grady.
00:23:44Growing up on the west side of Chicago, I ain't really had my parents.
00:23:48My dad got locked up for 22 years, and he's still in there, riding away.
00:23:56I know that's a place I never want to be.
00:23:58And as far as my mom, Debbie, and I don't even want to talk about her, but luckily for me, I had my grandparents.
00:24:13They looked out for me. They cared for me. They kept me off the streets, and they loved me.
00:24:22They said it was possibly drug-related, but who knows? We're still getting testimonies from the witness, and it was three shots in the back.
00:24:40We might have had a new recruit. Three shots in the back.
00:24:43I'm going to finish it with you in a second. Excuse me a moment.
00:24:48Sorry, Green. You can't be here right now.
00:24:50What is she talking about, LT? What's going on?
00:24:53Listen, Green, it's your son right there.
00:24:56What?
00:24:57What?
00:24:58I'm sorry.
00:24:59Hey, L, listen, I got to see him. L, what are you talking about?
00:25:02I know you cannot be here right now.
00:25:04LT, that's my son. I got to see my son.
00:25:06I'm sorry.
00:25:08Later.
00:25:09I'll do this right here, LT.
00:25:10Later.
00:25:10LT.
00:25:11Don't worry.
00:25:12LT, you serious?
00:25:13I'm sure Tyler killed more people in that alley.
00:25:27I heard the shots when I ran off.
00:25:30I knew that was unfinished business.
00:25:33I knew I had to deal with Tyler sooner or later.
00:25:38But to be honest, I didn't want to talk to him.
00:25:41I didn't want to see him.
00:25:42I didn't want nothing to do with him.
00:25:46But I knew I had to settle that first.
00:25:48I knew I had to do this.
00:25:55You know what?
00:25:56How's Granny doing?
00:25:58She cool.
00:26:00Yeah?
00:26:01Yeah.
00:26:02She good?
00:26:03You know I fuck with Granny, man.
00:26:05She used to always fuck with niggas, especially on Halloween, man.
00:26:07I would trick-or-tree on the block.
00:26:09I knew your granny was going to give me some extra shit.
00:26:13That's how granny is.
00:26:15Yeah.
00:26:17That's how your whole family is.
00:26:20Your whole family be holding me down.
00:26:23That's why I fuck with y'all, man.
00:26:26It's hard to find family out here.
00:26:30You know, I ain't really got much, man.
00:26:34I ain't have a granny.
00:26:38Your granny is my granny.
00:26:44You understand what I'm saying?
00:26:51That's why that trust is real.
00:26:55It's really important to me.
00:26:58I'm happy to have your trust.
00:27:01What make you say that?
00:27:10I leave.
00:27:11Nigga, the only reason I fuck with you, the only reason I let you in this shit is because of your family.
00:27:16I fuck with y'all, nigga.
00:27:20You know what I mean I fuck with you?
00:27:25What you mean, man?
00:27:26I mean...
00:27:29Look, Ty, I know you know one to be messed with, man.
00:27:34Who brought you in this shit?
00:27:36You did.
00:27:37You did.
00:27:56Was that you smoking a cigarette or was that Tyler?
00:27:58It wasn't me.
00:28:00Better not be.
00:28:01You know, your uncle died of lung cancer.
00:28:03Yeah, I remember.
00:28:04And don't hang around Tyler.
00:28:06I heard he is the biggest gang-banger on the west side.
00:28:09But we grew up together.
00:28:11Just because you grow up with somebody don't mean you shouldn't grow apart.
00:28:14He already got three kids by three different women, no job, and dropped out of school.
00:28:19He may think it's okay now.
00:28:22But in ten years, he's gonna realize his mistakes.
00:28:26I don't want that to happen to you.
00:28:28You got a nice job, going to a good school, and you're gonna go in and go to college.
00:28:35I'm proud of you.
00:28:37You already doing better than your mother and father did at your age.
00:28:41Don't mean much, but it's something.
00:28:43All you gotta do is good, and good things will come to you.
00:28:47Do what's right.
00:28:49I'm trying.
00:28:52Speaking of your mother.
00:28:55They let Debbie out of rehab?
00:28:57She's out, and she wants to spend some time with you.
00:29:00Aw, man. She didn't want to spend time with me when she was trying to sell me for crack.
00:29:04Or when she threw daddy in jail.
00:29:06She the reason why this whole family bogus now.
00:29:08Listen, I understand the anger you feel, but she's still your mother.
00:29:12It's not gonna kill you to spend one day with her, and it actually might help her.
00:29:16Granny, I don't want to see her.
00:29:19Well, she's gonna be here in the morning.
00:29:22And you need to be respectful.
00:29:24Your mother loves you.
00:29:26And how you treat her will have a big impact on her.
00:29:28All right. Best matter.
00:29:30All right. Best matter.
00:29:31Best matters.
00:29:32Best matters.
00:29:36Hmm.
00:29:37The
00:29:54Angel, girl, you walked all the way over here?
00:30:04I came to say thank you.
00:30:06Thank you for what?
00:30:07For showing me that you really want to be with me.
00:30:10I mean, I do. Sure, what's going on?
00:30:12You killed Taz just so you can take me on prom?
00:30:15Nah, girl, I ain't kill nobody. What you talking about?
00:30:18It's okay. You don't have to lie. I know the truth.
00:30:20Nah, I ain't kill nobody.
00:30:23Don't be saying nothing like that about me. I ain't kill nobody.
00:30:29It's okay. You don't have to lie.
00:30:35Angel!
00:30:37Angel!
00:30:38Angel!
00:30:39You just shot me, bro? You just shot me?
00:30:53It smells so good. What you got over there?
00:31:08Well, you need to learn how to make this so you can get you a husband.
00:31:11Ma, ain't no recipe gonna keep no man.
00:31:14This oven and this stove is how you keep a man.
00:31:17Well, I guess that's how you kept daddy, huh?
00:31:19Mm-hmm. Got that right, girl.
00:31:21Son! I miss you. I'm so proud of you. I love you.
00:31:35Don't you miss your mama.
00:31:36Yeah.
00:31:37You hungry?
00:31:38Nah, granny. I lost my appetite.
00:31:42I'm not finna keep kissing his ass.
00:31:50You have to be patient. You can't criticize him.
00:31:53When you made your mistakes, he had to cope. He did everything he was supposed to do even when you weren't there.
00:31:59But I'm here now. How long y'all gonna keep throwing this shit in my face? I'm clean. I'm steady coming over here kissing. I'm gonna keep kissing his ass. How long y'all gonna...
00:32:09I can't do this. I come home and get myself clean just to get treated like an animal by my own flesh and blood.
00:32:16Oh, baby, come on now. No, no, mom. Don't go. We love you.
00:32:20Everybody calm down.
00:32:22I have calm. I get myself together just to get treated like I'm the fifth.
00:32:37I ain't really know Taz like that. I just knew him as a kid who always wanted to start something in school.
00:32:44I think it's because his dad was a cop or a detective.
00:32:49He used to chant how his dad ran the world, or the west side at least.
00:32:56All I know is that he was no one you really wanted to mess with neither.
00:33:00If he wanted you dead, you was dead.
00:33:04That don't sound like the detective who's protecting and serving.
00:33:09You see him? Going pretty fast out here, man.
00:33:14Going fast? Yeah, he's going fast. Smokey, man.
00:33:18Hey, how you doing? You seen him? You ain't seen him?
00:33:22No. No. No. No, man. Ain't nobody seen him.
00:33:25I might have. What you mean you might have?
00:33:27Give me a dollar or two or something. Give me a couple of dollars.
00:33:31See nothing, ain't heard nothing, man. You ain't heard nothing.
00:33:33I might have seen him. Where?
00:33:35On the street. Smokey, bro.
00:33:42Man, let me have something. Give me something.
00:33:48You gotta get me something, man.
00:33:50You gotta get me something, comer.
00:33:52You gotta get me something

00:34:16First off, you need to stop yelling at Granny.
00:34:18You know she got high blood pressure, man.
00:34:20Look, all those nights when I was out there fiending for another hit,
00:34:24do you know how that made me feel,

00:34:30I'm doing this for y'all.
00:34:32Man, pain, the pain you felt when you was out there,
00:34:36you was trying to forget about me.
00:34:38Son, you gotta let that go.
00:34:39I'm here now, what more do you want?
00:34:41No, I can't do nothing with you.
00:34:46I can't do this with you right now.
00:34:49I'm your mother.
00:35:02I can't do that.
00:35:03I can't do anything with you.
00:35:04I can't do anything.
00:35:05I can't do anything with you.
00:35:06I can't do anything with you.
00:35:08Okay.
00:35:09Pam.
00:35:10That's a real treat when two players meet.
00:35:14Oh, man.

00:35:23Yeah, yeah. I ain't here for the money though, man.

00:35:53Yeah, I could've locked you up a long time. Still can.
00:35:59I share you, too.
00:36:02I don't know nothing.
00:36:05So how long do you think I need?
00:36:08Hey, give me a couple days, man.
00:36:10Maybe less.
00:36:12I'll reach out to you.
00:36:15It's times like these where I wonder,
00:36:18where is God?
00:36:20Why am I here?
00:36:22Why my dad in prison?
00:36:23Why my mom in and out of rehab?
00:36:26Why can't I get into Morehouse?
00:36:28But then I remember.
00:36:31I can't alter my past.
00:36:34All I can do is live in my present
00:36:37and try to change my future.
00:36:40That's why it's good to have people you can call your homie
00:36:43for the better things in life.
00:36:45I guess I get the saying,
00:36:48laugh to keep from crying.

00:41:49Marcus Houston looking ass.

00:41:53Aight, aight, aight.

00:43:14some weed, some liquor.
00:43:15Hold on.
00:43:16That's fine now.
00:43:17Detective Green from Homicide.
00:43:19Homicide?
00:43:20You at the wrong house, Mr. Green.
00:43:35Have a blessed day.
00:43:36Does Juwan Stevens live here?
00:43:38Yes, but he just stepped out.
00:43:39What do you want with my grandson?
00:43:40Is he in some kind of trouble?
00:43:41Well, it seems a couple of classmates
00:43:43that got shot in me.
00:43:44I have a baby.
00:43:45I have a baby.
00:43:46You can see a baby.
00:43:47I just got a baby.
00:43:49I got shot and murdered.
00:43:51And they say the witness has seen him
00:43:53talking to one of the boys in a physical altercation.
00:43:55So I'm just here to talk to him, if that's OK with you.
00:43:58Well, now, Mr. Green, I don't...
00:43:59Detective Green.
00:44:01OK, the detective.
00:44:03My grandson might have been in some altercation
00:44:05with one of those boys, but he's no killer.
00:44:07Well, I can understand that, ma'am.
00:44:09I didn't say he was a killer.
00:44:10Maybe he knows something, or maybe he knows somebody.
00:44:12I just wanted to talk to him, that's all.
00:44:14If you see him, can you give him his card, tell him to call me?
00:44:18Hmm.
00:44:19I appreciate it.
00:44:20You have a good day, ma'am.
00:44:27Who was that?
00:44:29That was the homicide detective.
00:44:31For what?
00:44:32For Juwan.
00:44:33No matter how hard we try, we just can't seem
00:44:36to keep these boys out the streets and out of trouble.
00:44:39Where are we going wrong?
00:44:40It's not us.
00:44:41It's bigger than us.
00:44:42All I want my family to do is the right thing
00:44:45and to make something of themselves.
00:44:47But it don't seem to work like that.
00:44:49The devil is always busy.
00:44:52God help us.
00:44:53Hattie, calm yourself.
00:44:55Getting worked up ain't going to change nothing.
00:44:58It's bigger than us.
00:45:09With my parents out of the picture,
00:45:12my dad in jail and my mom just straight crazy.
00:45:18Some would say I was headed the same direction as them.
00:45:23But I always had my grandparents.
00:45:28My grandparents kept me clean and straight.
00:45:32So I got to make it.
00:45:36Just so I could repay them.
00:45:37God help you.
00:45:38You're right, anyway?
00:45:40I didn't do that anyway.
00:45:41I just couldn't do that anyway.
00:45:43I just did this.
00:45:43It was a musical song.
00:45:44I never felt like he was この鞠の中に
00:45:45had one day even near him.
00:45:46But I got to make it.
00:45:47I don't know.
00:45:47It was about my mom.
00:45:48So I wanted to go to her.
00:45:49But I got to make it.
00:45:50That was a very cool song.
00:45:51I couldn't do that.
00:45:52I did it.
00:45:52It was a very cool song.
00:45:52It was a very cool song.
00:45:53I was a song.
00:45:54It was a wonderful song.
00:45:54I didn't do it.
00:45:55I can hear you guys.
00:45:56It was a wonderful song.
00:45:57I am around.
00:45:58I was a very nice girl.
00:45:59I was a young girl.
00:45:59Shit.
00:46:00Yeah, shit's still, Daisy.
00:46:02Damn near Eva, now we can do business.
00:46:06Look, I just need a little bit just to hold me off for a while, because I need more than
00:46:20just for today.
00:46:21You want a parent who's seeing me every day?
00:46:24Hmm?
00:46:25I need something for my friends, so we all want to do it together.
00:46:29My friends?
00:46:30You having a party?
00:46:31You didn't even invite me.
00:46:32You want me to front you something?
00:46:33You wilding, ain't you, Dad?
00:46:35Look, I don't need you to front me shit.
00:46:38I got money.
00:46:39I'm just trying to pay you what I owe you, so we can get this shit over with.
00:46:44I see you, Dad.
00:46:45I see you.
00:46:47With that brown sugar.
00:46:50Brown sugar, huh?
00:46:53You know, the mayor says that Chicago has tripled the murders this year.
00:47:12And Chicago has doubled the murders in New York, Los Angeles, and Memphis combined this
00:47:18year.
00:47:19Mm-hmm.
00:47:20I heard that on TV this morning.
00:47:21There was this girl on there talking to the anchor.
00:47:24She sounds so ignorant.
00:47:26Why don't we take education more serious?
00:47:28We haven't had a good mayor since Harold Washington.
00:47:31What she should have said is that it's a war on poor folks.
00:47:35Well, at least this mayor has taken some sort of action.
00:47:38Something needs to be done with these kids killing each other.
00:47:40The mayor can't change it.
00:47:41Nobody can.
00:47:42This is the way it's going to be when you oppress a people the moment they exist in this country.
00:47:47It's going to backfire.
00:47:49And there's nothing nobody can do about it except keep tally until it's open.
00:47:53Cedric, don't say that.
00:47:54We can pray.
00:47:55We can pray.
00:47:56Don't be so naive.
00:47:57If you had a dog, a puppy, and you put that puppy in a little cage and you leave it there
00:48:04until it grows up into a big dog and you open up the cage door, what do you think that dog's
00:48:10going to do, huh?
00:48:11He's going to come out that cage a misfit.
00:48:14And that's exactly what happened to black folks in America after being caged for hundreds
00:48:18of years.
00:48:19Misfit.
00:48:21Bro, what are you doing right now, bro?
00:48:37Why are you playing the game?
00:48:39I know you see Andrew over there, bro.
00:48:40Yeah, I see him, bro.
00:48:41So you see him, but why you ain't next to him, bro?
00:48:44You tripping on some liquor, son.

00:49:05Why are you so disrespectful?
00:49:06The party must begin.
00:49:08Y'all go get something to drink.
00:49:10Y'all go get something to drink, bro.
00:49:11Y'all get out of here.

00:49:13Before I keep y'all.
00:49:14No, no.
00:49:15You, what you need to go do is go talk to Andrew.
00:49:18That's what you need to do.
00:49:19All right, bro.

00:49:36Like, why are you not over there?

00:49:59No, you bogus for not taking advantage.

01:04:52Nah!
01:04:53This ain't that type of deal.
01:04:54This ain't got nothing to do with the boys in blue.
01:04:57This one right here, this is personal.
01:04:59I don't know what you heard, but one of them kids
01:05:02One of them kids you killed was my son
01:05:08We all got the game fucked up
01:05:13Fuck you in your son don't you see that
01:05:32Shit yo we gotta go we gotta go now
01:05:44Green let's go
01:06:02Who is this my friend Frank and come give me a hug first
01:06:32When you leave come and get your gift
01:06:42My birthday passed already
01:06:44That's an early gift
01:06:51Hey who's buddy you weird as hell
01:06:53My stepdad
01:06:54Shit I don't want no stepdad hug
01:06:57Look my family ain't perfect okay
01:07:00You judging me now
01:07:01No
01:07:02I only brought you here because they were gonna kill you
01:07:05Look I appreciate that but I don't need you watching over me
01:07:08Protecting me man I'm cool I got myself
01:07:12After you left the party Tyler and his friends came in they got drunk
01:07:15And they were talking about how you're gonna turn up dead
01:07:18See man this shit even went down like that because I ain't tell nobody like I ain't tell a soul
01:07:23Tell what what are you talking about
01:07:25Long story short your boy Taz your prom date I saw Tyler kill him and his homies
01:07:31He said he was gonna kill me if I told anybody so
01:07:34Dang you know everybody thought you killed Taz
01:07:37So I guess you had no choice but to snitch
01:07:39Look I wouldn't snitch regardless
01:07:41But the cops said they was gonna put it on me if I ain't say nothing
01:07:44So you told and I don't blame you
01:07:47It's too many fools out here who went in jail for something they did not do
01:07:50My cousin in jail for 30 years for something he didn't do
01:07:53So basically you didn't say anything but the whole hood looking at you like you a snitch
01:07:57So you might as well did tell
01:08:00Basically
01:08:02So that's why they want you dead
01:08:04That's so lame
01:08:05I hope Tyler learned his lesson
01:08:07He always after somebody
01:08:09It's only a matter of time before they catch up with you
01:08:14Look I gotta get out of here tonight
01:08:16The only reason why I'm here is because granny in a coma
01:08:19And go where?
01:08:20Look I'm going to Atlanta
01:08:22I applied to a couple colleges down there
01:08:24Morehouse was one of them
01:08:26CAU was another one
01:08:28I mean I didn't get accepted
01:08:29But hey they got this summer program dope
01:08:32Where you going?
01:08:33Are you serious?
01:08:36What's that?
01:08:40What's this?
01:08:40Clark oh you got accepted?
01:08:48Man that's huge I mean I I didn't get accepted but man congratulations
01:08:55I mean it feels good to know that I'm smart enough to get into college but I'm not gonna actually go
01:09:02You know what's the point? I know people with good degrees and no jobs
01:09:06I know men who move in weight with a master's degree
01:09:08I mean I'd much rather take my chances trying to get a degree than spend another summer here in Chicago
01:09:14But you don't understand I never left the Chicago area
01:09:18I don't know how to act if I'm somewhere else
01:09:21I done seen five people get killed in one weekend
01:09:24I'm out of here I can't stay here
01:09:26The last thing Jacob told me before he died he said he was gonna go with me so
01:09:32That's why I want you to come with me
01:09:34Lisa I know somebody if I'm down now
01:09:36You must think I'm a hoe because what happened at that party don't you well I'm not I was just tipsy
01:09:44But I do like you
01:09:46I don't think you know and I know you probably think I'm a goof because I came quick
01:09:51But the truth is I want you to come to Atlanta with me because I like you too
01:09:56I can't
01:09:57I mean you can if anybody can you smart you pretty you can do anything you want if you stay here
01:10:05What you gonna do get pregnant get a bogus job get a link card section eight what's stopping you?
01:10:13It's Frank
01:10:14Frank what about him?
01:10:16I don't know
01:10:17Ever since my mom died he took care of me and my sisters
01:10:21You know even my mom and him wasn't on a good term she still took care of me
01:10:26He'll want you to get an education too
01:10:29No you don't understand
01:10:32Why would he try to stop you from doing what's right with your life
01:10:37He isn't
01:10:38And what is it?
01:10:50He touches me
01:10:52Ever since I was a little girl
01:10:56I didn't like it then
01:10:59I like it now
01:11:03He makes me feel special
01:11:08Look Angel that's none of my business
01:11:11But what are you doing to you?
01:11:14That's wrong
01:11:15That's
01:11:17You don't deserve that
01:11:19Angel
01:11:20You still got company?
01:11:21Yes Frank go away
01:11:25What stink ass
01:11:27I gotta get out of town ASAP
01:11:29But you got time so I want you to think about it
01:11:32I'm gonna go down there around the 7th I'm gonna be back
01:11:34I'm gonna let you know everything you're missing all right
01:11:36Okay I don't think about it
01:11:38But you know you don't have to leave right?
01:11:43Get the police to excuse me from school and I'll come with you Mr. Pluck
01:11:48I'll make a few calls then I'll pull some strings but for right now
01:11:52I gotta get up out of here
01:11:53So
01:11:55All right
01:12:06First I was confused
01:12:21Angry
01:12:24I was frustrated
01:12:26But then I realized
01:12:28I can't change the people around me
01:12:34And that's the struggle
01:12:37Do I leave them
01:12:39And give up on them?
01:12:43All I know is that I have to focus on myself
01:12:47And maybe
01:12:49All this can change them for the better
01:12:51It's funny how one weekend
01:12:56Can change the course of one life
01:13:00But my path is clear
01:13:03It's clearer than ever
01:13:05Especially since Tyler told me what he told me
01:13:08I'ma pray for Debbie
01:13:12And I really hope she gets better
01:13:16But what's crazy
01:13:18Is Angel
01:13:20I thought she was the one
01:13:22But with the whole Frank situation
01:13:28I'ma pray for her too
01:13:31The person I'm really gonna miss the most
01:13:34Is Granny
01:13:37I'm sorry I have to leave you like this
01:13:40But if I could make it out on the west side of Chicago
01:13:45I'd be the only one that I know
01:13:48To have done that
01:13:48So it's bye for now Chicago
01:13:54You'll always be home
01:13:57But I gotta keep it moving
01:14:00And take my chances
01:14:03In Atlanta
