More to Life

Come on now Earl, time to go.

You ain't gonna have your old lady fussing me tomorrow.

Bye, now.

My life was never easy.

11 years old, I find out that my pops

was killed by the police,

just 'cause he was a black man with a successful business.

How do you accept that?

Furthermore,

how does a child accept that?

That's my brother, Jason.

We hung out every other weekend.

But with pops gone, that link was broken.

He lived on the west side with his moms.

But his moms and my moms, they ain't never really got along.

I mean, it all makes sense now.

But at that moment,

all I knew was things was never gonna be the same.

Jahmal?

Nah, Jason.

Hey you heard they got juiced, man.

Yap.

I heard last night fucking around with the bald head.

- Yeah, (coughs loudly) old school knows

as soon as the cuff click.

You feel me.

Here's to the street.

- You talking about that nigga Juiceman from (indistinct)

The one that drive the (indistinct) with the slap ain't it?

Yap.

Juiceman had good dope too.

He was high, but he kept that glass house.

Me and Black used to go over there on a late night.

When my man didn't stop running.

- Man that nigga had too much traffic coming through.

Nigga this aint 95.

Right.

That's why I don't fuck with the worthy people, man.

In the case (mumbles)

All right.

You already know what time it is.

- And it's like being on the corner ain't it Black?

Right back when we were young nigga used

to cuff from bald headed P.

I still fuck with the dope boys though,

but hey I'm the plug now?

So you know what that means,

I'd never serve a nigga like Juiceman.

Can you hear this nigga?

You are mother fucking liar, man.

You know if you were shot with that nigga.

You'd have served him too,

fuck outta here man who are you fooling?

Nigga I don't wanna call your ass out

but I was thinking the same damn thing.

Nigga you know if Juiceman hit you up

for a four way, you ass would answer.

That's it.

Whatever Black.

So what y'all niggas about to do?

We're playing but we can leave,

I know when you move nigga it's your house.

- Nah men, I ain't say y'all niggas gotta get out.

Hustling is in my nation,

even my moms was in the streets.

And even though me and moms ain't get along much,

I held on to the gang she gave me.
