WEBVTT
00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:10.733
The second time this week,
00:00:10.766 --> 00:00:13.133
A black man is shot by
a police officer
00:00:14.200 --> 00:00:16.200
You know what I came
to realize man.
00:00:16.233 --> 00:00:18.166
It's that we ain't
promised tomorrow.
00:00:18.200 --> 00:00:19.600
Ya'll wanna shoot?
00:00:19.633 --> 00:00:22.000
Where I'm from we aint even
promised today neither
00:00:22.033 --> 00:00:23.433
Where the justice at?
00:00:23.466 --> 00:00:26.533
My uncle always told me we was
different when I was a kid.
00:00:26.566 --> 00:00:29.000
Never was too sure what
he meant by that.
00:00:29.033 --> 00:00:31.500
Until I start seeing
it for myself.
00:00:32.100 --> 00:00:35.200
Being a black man in america can
go from racial profiling
00:00:35.233 --> 00:00:38.633
Which would lead to assault
by a police officer
00:00:38.666 --> 00:00:40.566
Hands up. Don't shoot!
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:43.733
It as if as we never even existed
in the first place
00:00:43.766 --> 00:00:47.633
Nearly half of america's
young black men...
00:00:47.666 --> 00:00:49.466
Its justified by most
because of how much
00:00:49.500 --> 00:00:51.633
We be killing our
own brothers.
00:00:51.666 --> 00:00:53.166
Black lives matter!
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:56.500
You see we can no longer avoid
the need to address us.
00:00:56.533 --> 00:00:58.000
Us a s a human race
00:00:58.033 --> 00:00:59.533
Us as a people
00:00:59.566 --> 00:01:01.266
Us as americans
00:01:01.300 --> 00:01:04.133
Those of us who knows what's right
must stand up together.
00:01:04.166 --> 00:01:06.000
For our families.
00:01:06.033 --> 00:01:09.133
Our sisters, our brothers,
our community
00:01:09.166 --> 00:01:10.300
'Cause one way or another
00:01:10.333 --> 00:01:12.266
No matter who we are,
we're all affected.
00:01:12.300 --> 00:01:14.033
What do we
want, justice!
00:01:14.066 --> 00:01:15.666
When do we
want it, now!
00:01:15.700 --> 00:01:20.100
At the end of the day,
it's us or else.
00:01:29.566 --> 00:01:32.033
Alright briggs you're
driving. Come on.
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:41.500
Boy you aint fast as
you think you is
00:01:41.533 --> 00:01:44.133
Bullshit I run a 4 40
00:01:44.166 --> 00:01:45.133
They don't call me
wheels for nothing
00:01:45.166 --> 00:01:46.233
Let's go
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:51.033
Hey man.
00:01:52.133 --> 00:01:55.033
Yo, yo, yo, yo!
00:01:55.066 --> 00:01:59.033
Why y'all making so much noise
out here so early man?
00:01:59.066 --> 00:02:00.566
He talking about he

00:02:00.600 --> 00:02:01.500

00:02:01.533 --> 00:02:02.333

00:02:02.366 --> 00:02:03.766
Quicker than you in what?
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:05.233
I run a 4-40
00:02:05.266 --> 00:02:06.133
Who?
00:02:06.166 --> 00:02:07.233
Me
00:02:07.266 --> 00:02:09.533
You don't run no
damn 4-40 how you?
00:02:09.566 --> 00:02:10.666
Man in them
timberlands.
00:02:10.700 --> 00:02:13.133
Get outta here man I
tell you what man,
00:02:13.166 --> 00:02:15.333
First one of y'all make it
back round this block
00:02:15.366 --> 00:02:16.666
Man I got 500 on it
00:02:16.700 --> 00:02:17.666
500?
00:02:17.700 --> 00:02:19.033
I got 500 on it.
00:02:19.066 --> 00:02:20.233
I'm doubling that.
00:02:20.266 --> 00:02:21.566
What you mean you
doubling that?
00:02:21.600 --> 00:02:22.166
Who do you like?
00:02:22.200 --> 00:02:23.166
You like him?
00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:24.233
I like little homie
right here.
00:02:24.266 --> 00:02:25.233
Yup
00:02:25.266 --> 00:02:26.233
Yeah.
00:02:26.266 --> 00:02:27.266
Lets go.
00:02:27.300 --> 00:02:28.133
What you fuck
standing there for?
00:02:28.166 --> 00:02:29.533
Go get it!
00:02:29.566 --> 00:02:31.233
Pass that.
00:02:31.266 --> 00:02:33.333
You was out here
watching too.
00:02:33.366 --> 00:02:35.233
Let me hit that.
00:02:35.266 --> 00:02:36.333
Aye man.
00:02:36.366 --> 00:02:39.266
You, you been out

00:02:39.300 --> 00:02:41.000
Watching this go off.
00:02:41.033 --> 00:02:42.166
It's cool to let the little
homies do a little
00:02:42.200 --> 00:02:45.266
I think the idea is to
keep the noise down.
00:02:45.300 --> 00:02:46.266
You know what I mean?
00:02:46.300 --> 00:02:47.266
It's bad for business.
00:02:47.300 --> 00:02:49.166
Who, who winning though?
00:02:49.200 --> 00:02:50.300
Little homie there
00:02:51.200 --> 00:02:52.400
Ain't it hard enough,
00:02:52.433 --> 00:02:54.166
To bring your sons and
your daughters up?
00:02:54.200 --> 00:02:55.200
Without dealing with
the racist stuff
00:02:55.233 --> 00:02:56.600
How about your boys
the falcons man?
00:02:56.633 --> 00:02:59.166
Man we made it to the super
bowl , they lost.
00:02:59.200 --> 00:02:59.733
What do you do?
00:02:59.766 --> 00:03:01.066
What would I had a done?
00:03:01.100 --> 00:03:02.166
I would have stayed awake
the whole game
00:03:02.200 --> 00:03:03.166
That's what I
would have done.
00:03:03.200 --> 00:03:04.566
Man you wouldn't did shit.
00:03:04.600 --> 00:03:08.033
I would have done shit exactly
like they did.
00:03:09.066 --> 00:03:11.333
They start strong
just like you do
00:03:13.666 --> 00:03:15.133
Oh shit! Pull over.
00:03:16.700 --> 00:03:17.766

So y'all ain't doing nothing

00:03:39.133 --> 00:03:40.266
We made a bet.
00:03:40.300 --> 00:03:41.366
A bet for some money.
00:03:45.233 --> 00:03:46.300

They might gone home.
00:04:04.200 --> 00:04:05.600
Shit!
00:04:05.633 --> 00:04:06.766
What the fuck was that?
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:08.666
I don't know.
00:04:13.133 --> 00:04:14.666
Go get my shit.
00:04:31.133 --> 00:04:32.766
So we're sitting
in the car.
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:34.233
I saw the two
suspects running by
00:04:34.266 --> 00:04:36.400
And then I told briggs let's
go after the first one
00:04:36.433 --> 00:04:38.233
And I went after the
second one.
00:04:38.266 --> 00:04:40.000
Are you sure that's
what happened?
00:04:40.033 --> 00:04:41.433
What the fuck
did you do?
00:04:41.466 --> 00:04:43.266
He just came around
the corner and..
00:04:43.300 --> 00:04:46.033
They were fucking racing man
00:04:46.066 --> 00:04:46.700
Man you weren't
fucking there,
00:04:46.733 --> 00:04:50.066
It happened so fucking fast.
00:04:50.333 --> 00:04:52.400
If you're scared to work the muthafucking
neighborhood,
00:04:52.433 --> 00:04:54.700
You shouldn't be in the
fucking neighborhood.
00:04:54.733 --> 00:04:57.066
Get another job!
00:05:05.466 --> 00:05:07.366
We're here yet again for
the fifth shooting
00:05:07.400 --> 00:05:09.166
In this community
this year.
00:05:09.200 --> 00:05:11.733
Between the police and an
african american male.
00:05:11.766 --> 00:05:13.366
Also mitchell says
that his shooting
00:05:13.400 --> 00:05:16.200
Was justified in
self-defense.
00:05:16.233 --> 00:05:18.300
Actually I'm
getting just in,
00:05:18.333 --> 00:05:19.733
That the police have
released that
00:05:19.766 --> 00:05:22.366
Officer mitchell's shooting
was justified.
00:05:22.400 --> 00:05:24.666
Can you believe this is
happening again.
00:05:24.700 --> 00:05:28.266
Our children can't even play in
their own neighborhoods.
00:05:28.300 --> 00:05:30.200
We need to do
something different.
00:05:30.233 --> 00:05:32.200
We need to do
something bigger.
00:05:32.233 --> 00:05:35.033
We need to do something so that
our voices are heard.
00:05:35.066 --> 00:05:38.100
Because this peace thing,
its not working.
00:05:41.200 --> 00:05:45.266
Pastor, its time.
00:06:05.400 --> 00:06:08.433
Hey man, what the hell happened
to nigga wheels?
00:06:08.466 --> 00:06:10.433
Man, I heard the police
that shot wheels
00:06:10.466 --> 00:06:12.033
Getting off that shit.
00:06:12.066 --> 00:06:13.033
No they say he had a gun.
00:06:13.066 --> 00:06:14.300
He ain't have no
fucking gun.
00:06:14.333 --> 00:06:15.333
He ain't have no
motherfucking gun.
00:06:15.366 --> 00:06:16.733
Everybody be saying that.
00:06:16.766 --> 00:06:17.766
Wheels be using
the hands.
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:19.200
Shit I bet if we
start busting back
00:06:19.233 --> 00:06:21.100
At they ass they'll stop.
00:06:21.133 --> 00:06:24.466
Yeah man, that's what the
fuck I'm talking about.
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:31.233
Come with me real quick.
00:06:31.266 --> 00:06:33.066
What's up?
00:06:33.100 --> 00:06:34.266
Where y'all going man?
00:06:34.300 --> 00:06:36.066
I don't know I'll be back.
00:06:36.100 --> 00:06:37.233
Be safe.
00:06:37.266 --> 00:06:38.200
For real.
00:06:47.300 --> 00:06:49.266
So dissapointed
00:06:49.300 --> 00:06:51.133
We all dissapointed
00:06:53.366 --> 00:06:55.033
All dissapointed
00:06:55.066 --> 00:06:56.466
Now I believe in a
lot of things
00:06:56.500 --> 00:06:57.366
Believe karma real
00:06:57.400 --> 00:06:58.500
Believe allah king
00:06:58.533 --> 00:06:59.500
I believe the bible
is re-written
00:06:59.533 --> 00:07:00.700
The preacher be bullshit
00:07:00.733 --> 00:07:02.233
So when they speak believe
not a thing
00:07:02.266 --> 00:07:04.133
Believe m.l. King had
a dream for real
00:07:04.166 --> 00:07:06.033
He in heaven and we dealin
with a demon still
00:07:06.066 --> 00:07:08.000
Like an episode of pinky
and the brain for real
00:07:08.033 --> 00:07:10.133
Want to run a real ruly
everything for real
00:07:10.166 --> 00:07:12.266
Well goddam
00:07:12.300 --> 00:07:15.300
What you think gon happen
when you die my man
00:07:15.333 --> 00:07:16.500
Even better what you
think you gon do
00:07:16.533 --> 00:07:17.733
When they push you
in the fire my man
00:07:17.766 --> 00:07:19.366
Well I'm a sinner, true,
but not like you
00:07:19.400 --> 00:07:21.566
I ain't been malicious in
any of the shit I do
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:23.766
Well I might smoke
me a blunt of two
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:25.333
Menage a every
month or two
00:07:25.366 --> 00:07:26.533
Sell dope to get
some money shit
00:07:26.566 --> 00:07:28.033
I wanna do law, but I
can't go to school,
00:07:28.066 --> 00:07:29.300
Ain't got the money to
00:07:29.333 --> 00:07:31.233
Rather give me 50 years
than a scholarship
00:07:31.266 --> 00:07:33.233
Anything to keep me
out of politics
00:07:33.266 --> 00:07:35.233
I believe politicians pull
a lot of tricks
00:07:35.266 --> 00:07:37.233
The war on drugs, crack
epidemic, all of that
00:07:37.266 --> 00:07:39.000
The death of bob
marley and malcolm x
00:07:39.033 --> 00:07:41.000
Pac and biggie too but I ain't
really sure of that
00:07:41.033 --> 00:07:42.433
Believe jesus died
for my sins
00:07:42.466 --> 00:07:44.333
Don't need no fake image
to hide behind man
00:07:44.366 --> 00:07:46.066
The kkk and the usa
00:07:46.100 --> 00:07:48.366
Got thing like superman
got for lois lane
00:07:48.400 --> 00:07:50.300
Uncle sam left a lady
just to dress up
00:07:50.333 --> 00:07:52.066
Grabbing on her pussy yelling
show that thing
00:07:52.100 --> 00:07:53.366
To be clear,
00:07:53.400 --> 00:07:54.133
I ain't tryna say there
ain't no black thing
00:07:54.166 --> 00:07:55.233
Or a white thing
00:07:55.266 --> 00:07:56.466
It's a dead wrong
and right thing
00:07:56.500 --> 00:07:57.666
Believe white supremacy
and y'all gon see
00:07:57.700 --> 00:07:59.333
Everything they try to
bring down on me
00:07:59.366 --> 00:08:01.400
Stop and frisk, mass
incarceration
00:08:01.433 --> 00:08:03.300
Perpetuation of
recidivism
00:08:03.333 --> 00:08:05.333
Create a system that
is hard to break
00:08:05.366 --> 00:08:07.133
A million still
behind bars today
00:08:07.166 --> 00:08:09.200
Because columbus day you
believe a holiday
00:08:09.233 --> 00:08:11.233
What about capone
and doc holiday
00:08:11.266 --> 00:08:13.133
Lucky luciano, john
gotti day
00:08:13.166 --> 00:08:15.000
Bobby johnson and a
larry hoover day
00:08:15.033 --> 00:08:16.600
Happy meech day,

00:08:16.633 --> 00:08:19.266
Happy hitler day,

00:08:19.300 --> 00:08:22.233
That's a hypocrisy more american
than democracy
00:08:22.266 --> 00:08:24.033
Far as I can see,
the constitution
00:08:24.066 --> 00:08:25.133
Wasn't for folk who
look like me
00:08:25.166 --> 00:08:26.400
And that's what I believe
00:08:36.366 --> 00:08:39.266
Waking up, thanking god.
00:08:39.300 --> 00:08:43.533
Everyday is feeling
just like sunday.
00:08:44.133 --> 00:08:48.600
Hey there, how you
doing? Alright.
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:54.400
Well isn't this
wonderful. Alright.
00:09:00.466 --> 00:09:03.133
A life for a life.
00:09:03.166 --> 00:09:07.600
Now what kind of message does
this give to the people?
00:09:08.133 --> 00:09:12.266
Is it our message? Is this
what we want to do?
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:22.466
Naw, this...this is the
message. Alright.
00:09:24.566 --> 00:09:25.333
How are you?
00:09:25.366 --> 00:09:28.433
Good
00:09:31.566 --> 00:09:33.666
I don't care what the
fucking media says.
00:09:33.700 --> 00:09:34.733
Alright their not
the ones who have
00:09:34.766 --> 00:09:36.633
To worry about getting
shot on the job.
00:09:36.666 --> 00:09:37.666
You know I wasn't
