That's nothing for me.

My job brings me plenty.

But you ain't no drug dealer.

Moneymakin' Mitch.

Tell me somethin' good, baby.

Why am I not a drug dealer?

Yeah, he's your right-hand man, now.

Yeah, but you-- You dress nice-nice,

They dress-- whatever, loud-nice.

Okay. Thank you.

What do I need a car for?

Family movin' up in the business.

I know you gonna look after family.

What family you talking about, Ice?

F***, I look invisible, nigga?

Did I pass the test, compre?

It's not--

It's not a test.

I'm just sayin'.

You like money, right'?

Yeah.

I'm broke, baby.

I ain't got no money.

Bullshit.

I see you shinin', nigga.

I can smell a motherf***er with money.

Even Ray Charles could see

Dang.

Look at this nigga.

Little Sonny and his crew,

the future of our nation.

Ain't that a b*tch?

Damn, man.

You got the John Wayne sh*t, man.

F***in' gun all up

Well, the way you dress, nigga,

You'll be invisible up in the club.

Exactly.

Nah, I'm just f***in' with you, bud.

What you doin', man?

What's that?

You tell me, man.

It looks like coke, nigga.

You f*** me up, A.

You never say sh*t, B.

Just come out the blue

Well, to tell you the truth,

I ain't f***in' with coke right now, man.

The sh*t just ain't clickin', B.

You know what you need to do, man?

You need to f*** with that cat

He sells coke.

Nah, I ain't f***in' with that nigga, man.

He's dumb.

- Hey, man, what, man?
