spot every morning.

Mm-hmm.

Now this,

this was

my dope house,

l just call it that because

l would never have drugs

of any kind here,

I'm the boss.

I leave that to

the soldiers.

I just all it that

because it's where

I do all my dirt.

After Mom died,

nobody wanted to let

a known black drug dealer

adopt a white orphan

but hey, cash is king,

And after years

of fighting

with courts,

l was his,

There you are again,

with that photo album.

When l got older,

I realized that family

is someone that

you end up with,

You don't have

a choice in

the matter,

l swear you look

at that thing

a hundred

times a week,

But what he did to

make me his son

was a choice

and it made me

love him even more.

Baby.

You gotta be

f***ing kidding me.

Hello?

Alright, l'll see

l'll see you in

a little bit.

Am l not on

the f***ing phone?

l'm taking

your car.

No you're not.

l'm taking it.

You take

the truck.

l don't feel

like driving that

big old thing.

You're the one

that wanted

the SUV

with 20

TVs in it,

not me.

That sh*t is ghetto.

Oh, l know

you didn't

call me ghetto.

l'm not saying

you're ghetto.

l'm saying driving

around in a SUV with

But, baby,

isn't that

what you say,

the man makes the car,

not the other way

around? Right?

You're always

saying that.

Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Yeah, you're learning.

The answer

is still no.

Why?

As calm as

I was playing,

what was about to

happen would be huge,

So huge it was

sure to make me

king of the avenue,

l was getting

ready to make a

deal with the Mexicans,

l start by getting my product

at wholesale, that's

about half,

only thing was,

you better promise

to buy a minimum

every month,

Come hell or high water,

you better buy

that minimum,

But l wasn't worried,

l was moving

so much sh*t,

l was already

doubling minimum.

l had just hooked

up with these bikers,

See, they were

white supremacists

and would buy from me

before my black and

Latin peers,

l used to think

how my father

would feel

about me working

with racists,

But then, I figured

he woulda told me

to take their

money first,

Cal, My most trusted

friend and general

of my operation,

The son of Scooter Pie.

You'll be

king of the avenue

for sure after this.

King? No. This

is just about

the money.

F*** that.

Your daddy was

f***ing king, man,

it's your

f***ing birthright.

Yeah, look what

happened to him.

l'm not going out

like that, man.

l'm just getting

my cake and

l'm out.

Then you could

be king.

F*** it.

l'll be king

after you? Sh*t.

White folks don't

wanna see me living

next to them

acting like l'm

a f***ing consultant.

No, we don't.
