Tell all them fellas

ln this here neighborhood

This here's my woman

That chacha will do you no good

Whoa! Yeah!

This here a song from back in the day

Nineteen hundred and sixty-two

My woman put my black ass

out in the cold

l said, "Baby, why you leaving?"

She said, "Our love done gone cold"

Well, l waded through water

and l waded through mud

Till l come to this place

they call the Bucket of Blood

You know, that bartender

give me a dirty look and a dirty glass

l said, "Say, motherf***er!

Do you know who l am?"

He said, "Hell no, n*gger!

l don't give a goddamn!"

l reached down in my pocket

and pulled out my shiny .44

Shot that motherf***er twice!

He hit the goddamn floor

'Bout that time

you could've heard the drop of a pin

That's when that bad motherf***er

Billy Lyons walked in

'Bout that time a pimp eased up

and turned out the lights

That's when l had old Billy Lyons

dead in my sights

When the lights come back on

old Billy gone to rest

l pumped nine of my bullets

in his motherfucking chest!

Sometime, that kind of blues

will make you even kill one another

or do anything that kind of low.

lt goes here, on this side.

That's where the blues started.

lt ain't on this side. lt's over here.

This little light of mine

It ain't been but a week

and you aIready some n*gger's whore.

Oh, did you think I wouIdn't find out?

Did you think I wouIdn't find out?

GiII toId me how you and him...

How you and everybody...

Did you have fun with her, huh?

Sweet as a peach, I bet! Huh?

-No!

-Shut up, b*tch! Shut the f*** up!

Be carefuI where you aim that gun, boy.

Or what? Huh?

Or what?

You come to taIk, boy,

or you come to kiII somebody?

You ain't gonna be caIIing me boy

when I bIow your f***ing face off!

Boy, you so green

you couIdn't stomp a baby duck.

Are you testing me? Huh?

Just what kind of test

wouId that be, huh?

Test if you're a man?

If you're a kiIIer?

HeII, that ain't hard to find out, is it?

AII you gotta do is puII that trigger back.

Go on.

Go ahead.

-Okay, Ronnie...

-God damn it, Rae!

Keep that gun trained on me, boy.

Now, you wanna kiII a man,

and aII you need's a reason, right?

WeII, you know

she been out here with me.

Been aII over town giving up that switch

you thought was yours.

-Shut up!

-Give aII your Iove to one woman

and she give it to another man.

Now that's a reason to kiII a man there.

Then won't be no questions.

She'II know you a man!

-A reaI kiIIer!

-Don't say that to me!

I'm too oId to pIay house or cowboys.

You gonna do it or get out of my face.

Go on.

Do it!

Ronnie. Ronnie.

Ronnie, baby, Iook at me.

Ronnie, Iook at me. Look at me.

Come on, Iook at me.

Baby, it's aII right. I got you. I got you.

Come on. Come on.

HoId on. HoId on, baby.

-Hey, it's me.

-It's okay.

I need you to get over here.

Yeah, right now!

We did a Iot of dreaming, me and Rae.

Made big pIans to get out.

I'd go do my tour and move out of here.

Maybe go to KnokviIIe.

But when Rae

gets Iike she does

and does the things

that she does...

Go on, Ronnie. Go on.

-This is f***ing stupid.

-Go on.

What Rae did for me,

she fixed me.

But I can't fix her.

Rae,

we don't wanna fix you or judge you.

OnIy you and the good Lord can do that.

But I want you to teII me

about these speIIs you get.

WeII,

I get these thoughts in my head,

you know.

Like sh*t I done

or sh*t that's been done to me,

and I can't get them out.

And it burns, you know, it hurts.

It starts in my head

and moves down to my hands,

and my stomach, and then Iower, and...

You know, sometimes I can stop them

but mostIy I can't.

The onIy thing that ever

made that feeI better was Ronnie

'cause I Iove him so much.

Why don't you Iook at Ronnie

and teII him how you feeI?

I think... I think we're f***ed up.

Both of us. I mean, I know I am.

But that don't mean

that what I feeI isn't reaI,

that I can't Iove somebody.

And I know how I've been

and what I've done is reaI, reaI bad.

But...

So if you wanna quit on me,

I understand.

But pIease don't.

So,

what you two gonna do about this?

Hi, Miss Angie.

You wasn't at your work

so I just figured I'd drop by.

What you need?

I need your heIp again.

More cough syrup?

Come on.

Sh*t.

You Ronnie?

Yeah.

I'm LincoIn.

I'm gonna be your best man.

Okay.

You having troubIe with that tie?

'Cause I'm pretty good at it.

Gotta do it Iike this

or I'II get aII turned around.

Laz, she's ready.

Ain't she pretty?

I'II give y'aII some time together.
