Driving his van.

He had a good business.

Since things went down, he's just running

some nasty ass chicken shop.

Kickz and Papa go way back.

But Kickz owes Rager

Excuse me, are your feet tired?

- "Excuse me, are your feet tired?"

Shut up, you little knob.

Maybe.

- Listen old man, Pappa...

smash your teeth in, you dirty pigeon bandit.

Relax, hard kid. Tell me you're gonna crack

nuts with your little boys claw hammer?

Where I grew up, we had f***in' fights the old

fashion way, mano to mano on the street.

With your fist, and nothing else.

That's how beefs got settled back than.

You see dese? I had deem knocked out

in a scrap when I was 20.

I f***in' picked them up, and I f***in' pushed

deem right back in and I carried on fightin'.

You don't look even hard.

Shut up, Pugey. Get busy with the supper, yeah?

So, where is all dis violence

They learn how to kill as soon

as they get out of f***in' Pampers.

their little Jiselles are now.

Oh, you know some of them, mate?

Watch your mouth,

Now, see one time, they robbed a bunch

of knives from the back of the shop.

Dis little monk, Pudge,

so I chased deem down the road.

And I see where they all hang out.

Big f***in' gang of deem.

Just relax. When they come on,

I'll talk to deem.

Do you think they can resist dis?

- You talk proper British shite.

I'm out of Buqay`ah.

Exactly.

Narrating:
Sometimes, like I say: "You wake

up and you could get killed today".

Never thinkin' it might be you

doing the killin'.

But when you lose someone you love...

everything... and I mean everything,

changes.
