You done slid down

a razor blade

and landed

in an alcohol river.

And Quiles.

And Radames.

Bullshit!

You know me better.

I don't know that.

You know me

I known lots of killers

since they was kids.

I need you to get word

by the, uh, diner?

Tell him meet me there

at 1 2:
00.

Well, thanks a lot, man.

That's all I got, G.

Damn.

[Coughing]

Don't shoot me!

Excuse me just a minute.

Will you excuse me?

Excuse me.

He's going to be fine.

What happened?

Bishop shot me.

He shot everybody.

He's tryin' to frame Q.

What's up, partner?

Don't f***in' move!

Where's the gun?

from Sweets today.

I ain't come out here

for that.

Man, all this sh*t

ain't worth it, man!

Yo! You might get me now,

but sooner or later,

it's gonna come back to you!

Nah, brother.

You got it wrong.

See, this is your gun, Q.

You was comin' to get me,

just like you got Raheem,

Radames, Quiles, and Steel.

I'm just the only one man enough

to take it from you.

Self-defense, n*gger.

Come on, Bishop.

Let's cut out all this bullshit!

We could end it
