Kicks Page #4

Synopsis: Fifteen-year-old Brandon longs for a pair of the freshest sneakers that money can buy, assuming that merely having them on his feet will help him escape the reality of being poor, neglected by the opposite sex and picked on by everyone - even his best friends. Working hard to get them, he soon finds that the titular shoes have instead made him a target after they are promptly snatched by Flaco, a local hood. Brandon goes on a mission to retrieve his stolen sneakers.

BRANDON:
(RAPPING) Chin checking full

of respect Gotta move as a threat

Daily be stressed Round my way

I'm off the project steps

To the curb side at 13

I been cravin' cream

A gatekeeper Them who

understands calls it Bay stream

of blood flow

The girls love me

'cause I love dough

Keep the haze in my veins

and the dope bums slow

With my sidekicks

All of us on that fly sh*t

Ain't lettin' nothin' stop

I ride for my kicks

(HORN HONKING)

You ever been in trouble

with the cops before?

Figured.

You always been

too much of a p*ssy

to get in trouble with the cops.

(CHUCKLES) That ain't

how that works.

You such a man now.

Go on, be a man.

You wanna walk around

with a piece strapped,

starting sh*t you can't finish?

That ain't how that works, bro.

That nigga that

beat you is dead.

He got tossed in front of a car.

And now Gabe got shot.
