But me and Yevette, we...

We chipping in.

Thank you.

She precious, man.

Beautiful little girl.

- Named her Keisha.

- Keisha.

That's a good handle, man.

I like that.

You know, with all I gotta do...

...all these people in my life, man...

...feels like an eternity in here.

Can't seem to find my mode now.

Don't hear a damn thing.

Djay...

...did you know Skinny Black

before that night?

You know that

little girl Keisha, right?

One day she gonna dream big,

the way kids do, you know.

And she gonna come to me

and ask me

when she grow up,

can she become president?

Now, I know that little girl got a ho

for a mama and a trick for a daddy,

that nobody even know where he at.

But I tell you something.

I'm gonna look her right in the eye...

...and I'm gonna lie.

Because sometimes

that's what you gotta do.

How you been doing, man?

Back to the same old sh*t.

About six months ago,

my neighbor brought my mail.

It was mail that she'd gotten

from her neighbor.

It was addressed to me.

The court depositions

and the high school recitals.

Talk about eternity, man.

It's been on my mind too.

It's on all our minds.

We was just dead, Djay.

Locked up, just like you.

But ain't no sorrow gonna

take away Shug's song.

Let me tell you that.

That woman, she got love for you.

So when you talk about eternity...

...you think about your woman.

- Hey, how's Nola, man?

- Nola?

Let me tell you something, man.

That girl got a mode all her own.

She hit the bricks running.

For some reason, she got it stuck

in her head that she was in charge.

We can't lay around licking our ass

all day like a dog, you know?

I mean, we man.

I mean, I know I'm a girl and all,

but we mankind.

Man, she hit every shake joint,

radio station in Memphis

and then some.

I don't know how she did it.

That girl got skills.

Power 107. 1.

Number one for hip-hop.

This your man Boogaloo

holding you down.

Man, I got a brand-new exclusive

from my man Djay.

Straight from the north, north, north.

Put your thumbs up out there, man.

And I hear my man Djay...

Djay, you gotta call me,

let me know if it's true.

Did you slap Skinny Black?

Did you do it, man?

Holler at me, man.

Power 107. 1.

Brand-new, right here.

Hey, man, this is me!

I made this beat!

Whoop that trick

Whoop that trick

Whoop that trick

Whoop that trick

Whoop that trick

Whoop that trick

Whoop that trick

So if you don't mind,

Nola and I, we got a few points

we'd like to talk about

in regards to your agenda.

That's if you got a minute.

For you, Key...

...I got 11 months.

Hey, Al, hold up, hold up.

Ain't this the guy on the radio with

that "Whoop That Trick" song?

- What you talking about?

- Man, this the cat

who stomped on Skinny

with that "Whoop That Trick" song.

You know that song.

- Yeah. Oh, sh*t, that's you?

Yeah, man.

Look, man.

- Yeah, you know what I'm saying?

We got it going on both sides

of the law, being from the streets

and being officers of the law.

You know what I'm saying?

Our stage name, Five-0.

They call me Big Five-0.

Look, man,

the rec room or something like that,

and tell us what you think.

Well, you know what they say.

Everybody gotta have a dream.
