We're saved!

I f***in' love you, Whisper.

Your boy, Junior,

Where's Junior?

[Begins crying]

I'm so sorry, Rager. I'm sorry.

I should have done something.

I should have helped you.

I'm sorry, man.

Why did you have to die?

I'm sorry I didn't help you.

Listen... fam.

You f***in' killed my brother.

- I didn't know, fam.

You killed him, and now I'm

gonna f***in' kill you, man.

Don't, fam.

Serious, dis ain't broke.

We can do someting.

You could roll with us.

We've got peas, fam.

You ain't sorry, and I don't want

I want to f***in' kill you.

Narrating:
Violence.

Da only way of gettin' heard.

If you ain't one of us,

deem you're a victim.

Children hustlin. Children killin. Steppin' on

toes, you gettin borad, gettin shanked.

Childhood, shee...

That died a long time ago.

Some days you wake up and think,

"Today it could be me gettin' killed."

You lose someone you love and think:

"Today it could be me doin' da killin'."

Life will give you hard questions. You've got

to be strong, you've got to be ready.

I want to be strong like Rager,

make him proud.

But wot I really realize is two tings:

1. Keep strong and get on dat paper chase.

or you're going hungry,

plain and simple.

2. Try to find whatever beauty inside...

when livin' in da squalor.

Get me?
