Kasey. Benz.

Vito. Midnight.

They all work for me

because of respect.

You know why?

Because they fear me.

Because if one slip up,

Even RayLo, he knows that.

He wouldn't even think

of coming to me...

I gave him... Shut...

He liked this place.

He used to take me here

Let me ask you something.

What do you know about his murder?

What happened?

I know what you know.

Stray bullet.

Wrong time,

wrong place.

Wrong time, wrong place.

I guess that's right where

You know, sometimes...

I feel like I'm in the wrong

place at the wrong time.

You ever feel like that?

Son, that's where we were born.

You think this sh*t is funny?

Your dad would be proud.

You look just like him.

I don't look sh*t like him.

Looks like little man might

be growing up now?

I'm not playing, Primo.

I know how things work.

There's no such thing as a stray

bullet when you're involved.

When people got beefs,

they settle them.

When my pops died,

it's like no one

had to pay for it.

That's not how the boss man's

supposed to live, right?

That's what you taught me.

Actions have consequences.

Right?

But you know what, John?

It's not the first time I had a

gun pointed at my head, homey.

I remember the first time.

Enough with the stories, man.

Tell me what happened.

You're a big boy, John.

Figure it out.

He got big.

Too big.

He didn't wanna do

business... the right way.

Everybody has bosses.

Your pops act like

he ain't have any.

So it was his time.

Sad to say, it's just business.

So what you gonna do now?

What your pops would've done?

I ain't even know my pops.

Maybe a basketball game.

Maybe a trip to the beach

every two years.

But I thank you for teaching me.

Now I know him.

I understand him.

I know exactly

what he would do right now...

or what you would do.

But I'm not gonna even do that.

Wah!

Wah!

Wah!

Hah!

I want ice cream!

You want ice cream? Yeah.

Ain't you just eat?

Okay. Let's do it.

Yeah, I had it all

to the average eyes

From my block to block

they demand supply

All the cash I earn

got me cars to drive

All the deeds I done

they really got me five

Yeah Really got me five

They really got me five

Yeah

Really got me five

Really got me five

Five years in the pen

I couldn't do that

Ballplayer dreams

Man, I couldn't do that

I'm missing my team

living our dreams

Bars after bars

Getting nasty on the scene

Dolla after dolla

It all seems fake

Broken-up lines

on this broken suitcase

I said misunderstood

Riding for the hood

Five star, I said give

your boy different bush

Went to Fort Greene

Macking with the team

White so clean

so I sell it to a fiend

Then we flip it to a dream

You can call it an assist

Pass it to the right

That's my main man Rich

Flip it to the back

Bolo beans on a grit

I said my team all about it

Ha-ha

Yeah, I had it all

to the average eyes

From my block to block

they demand supply

All the cash I earn

got me cars to drive

All the deeds I done

Keith Miller

Keith Ross Miller, (28 November 1919 – 11 October 2004) was an Australian test cricketer and a Royal Australian Air Force pilot during World War II. Miller is widely regarded as Australia's greatest ever all-rounder. Because of his ability, irreverent manner and good looks he was a crowd favourite. English journalist Ian Wooldridge called Miller "the golden boy" of cricket, leading to his being nicknamed "Nugget". He "was more than a cricketer ... he embodied the idea that there was more to life than cricket".A member of the record-breaking Invincibles, at the time of his retirement from Test cricket in 1956, Miller had the best statistics of any all-rounder in cricket history. He often batted high in the order, sometimes as high as number three. He was a powerful striker of the ball, and one straight six that he hit at the Sydney Cricket Ground was still rising when it hit the upper deck of the grandstand. Miller was famous for varying his bowling to bemuse batsmen: he made sparing use of slower deliveries and would often adjust his run-up, surprisingly bowling his fastest deliveries from a short run. He was also a fine fielder and an especially acrobatic catcher in the slips.Away from cricket, Miller was also a successful Australian rules footballer. He played for St Kilda and was selected to represent the Victorian state team. He played 50 games for St Kilda, for whom he kicked eight goals in one game against North Melbourne, during 1941.Miller's personality – love of the contest, rather than victory, and his larger-than-life rebelliousness and carousing – helped both shape and limit his cricketing career, as he espoused the opposite of the more puritanical values of Donald Bradman, his captain and later national selector. Neville Cardus referred to Miller as "the Australian in excelsis"; Daily Mail sportswriter Ian Wooldridge's response was "By God he was right". This status was reflected when Miller was made one of the ten inaugural members of the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame. more…
