Do you understand your

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

Wow, this type of
neighborhood don't look nothing

like it used to look.

Damn!

My mom's house still
looks the same though.

Wow, this brings
back old memories.

I remember when me and
my sister used to dressed

in our rooms right there.

Tray damn, I thought you,

oh, my bad I thought
you were Tracey.

Tracey, no, I'm Stacey
her step-sister, and.

Goddamn, you look alike.



- Don't they look alike?
- She looks like Tracey.

Okay, and who are you?

Oh, I'm Zak.

(CHUCKLES) I was
Tracey's best friend.

This here is my friend, Quita.

of a little business,

but I won't be here too long.

Just came to take care
of a little business.

- So...

Okay, my bad for real.

Look, are you worried
about Darnell?

You know he looked up, right?

Yeah, I know about Darnell.

No, no, no, he aint my daddy.

I say Tracey's daddy.

So what you mean.

Same mamas different daddies.

I moved out of town,

Tracey had the chance to go,

but my mum insisted
on her staying,

and so but I moved on my
day to do what I had to do,

'cause I cannot stand
that punk ass Darnell.

The thing he did to my sister,

so that pretty much
explains why I'm back.

Okay, that makes two of us.

But I heard he got a
court date coming up,

Yeah, I guess so.

Okay, well, I'll

Debra's motherfucking fault.

Hell, act like she all

How am I supposed
to know that's true?

(PIANO MUSIC)

I gotta do a little something,

but I gotta tell
you something first.

What is it?

I have a daughter.

A daughter.

Yeah, a long time ago.

I hooked up with Debra.

(CHUCKLES) So
you were together?

Anyway she got pregnant
then she kicked me out,

but she didn't tell
me she was pregnant,

and I never knew
I had a daughter

till the girl was
like seven years old.

So I'm try to tear
her out of her father.

I became her friend.

Her friend, the neighborhood
drug dealer, Darnell.

But I did something I
shouldn't have done.

Sold her drugs and
got her addicted.

And anyway her and her
friends came after me,

and I was trying to
be the big man on top.

So came up with a plan,
kill the pimp, framed them,

and it was all going
good until it backfire.

I got shot, went to jail.

So then her mom, they left town.

Me, I tried to make
amends with her sister,

but she wasn't happy,

so it is what it is.

As long as they gone
they'll be all right.

Yeah.

I'm telling you all this
because I care about you.

You mean a lot to me.

Well, I'm glad you
told me all of this.

I mean it's a lot.

you killed Tasha.

Now, both of y'all
bring your ass out here.

I'm not coming out of nowhere.

You gotta know it was a mistake.

Shoot that tired ass
bitch she killed my girl.

Didn't I say it was a mistake.

She should've never
grabbed the gun.

Listen here, both
of y'all are guilty.

Now putting your ass out here.

Bring your ass out here now.

Fuck, what am I doing?

My mama is gonna kill me.

All right, I'm coming out.

Don't shoot.

BOBBY: All right.

- Cover me.
- I got ya.

(GUN FIRES)

Fuck man, have you
lost your damn mind?

DARNELL: Nigga,
I'ma cry, I'ma cry

like a motherfucking bitch.

Fuck you.

Look here, man.

I'm warning you.

Bring your ass out now.

Put the gun down now.

Fuck you motherfucker.

(GUN FIRES)

Man, whatever, nigga.

(GUN FIRES)

Hey Darnell, fuck you,

and fuck you for killing my man.

Put your gun down.

Turn around and slowly
put your hands up.

Let me talk to
you for a second.

Hey, I saw you hanging
around with Darnell one day.

What was that all about?

All tight, chief had me
on a little investigation,

you know trying to look them up.

Were you undercover?

Yeah, you didn't know that?

No.

(CHUCKLES) Now you know.
