Listen to me
Everybody
While I tell you a story about The Mack
Talking bout The Mack The MackThe Mack
He's gonna show you where it's at
Now Goldie had it together
He had a master plan
He knew what he wanted and the only way he could get it
Was cash all in the hand
Little Lulu, China Doll in the street
Back to help keep him on his feet
Tips from the blind man he knew he would be
The baddest mack on the street
But he got to be on his job, yyeah
He cant be asleep no, no, no
He's got to show the players
Ladies of Leisure sure like that
If you wonder who I'm talkin' 'bout
I'm talkin' 'bout The Mack, yyeah
Talkin' 'bout Goldie Goldie
Talkin' 'bout The Mack, yyeah
Watchit, now, watchhit!
Dont be fakin;! Motherfuckin' jivin;!
Hold it, hold it - Okay, I gotcha, I gotcha!
Did you see it that time?
Did you see it? - Yeah. It's this one here
How much you wanna bet? - Wait a minute!
I got money, I got money! I got money everywhere!
Goddamn you sure is right
If you cant count you should't play
Rock something
Pass on, then
You got no business being here no way
Shut up.
The game is out there, Goldie just waiting for you
You can be a player perhaps one of the best
You see, you were one of my best boys
The sharpest
I hated losing you
You didnt really lose me, man
The cat just hid me away in his prison...
and threw the key out the window
Yeah, well that deal was set up wrong
Those other niggers didnt have no business being out there
No way It was a set-up
I used tollie inh that stinky-aass four-by-five cell,
Looking at those dark walls
and I don't care how much I let it run through my head
it always ended up the same way
I'd always end up hanging upside down
in that stupid car looking at that stupid-ass cop
We gonna change all that now
We're gonna put you up on your feet again
You'll have a bankroll so big when you walk down the street
it'll look like your pocket's got the mumps
I aint never had those kind of mumps
Remember...
a pimp is only as good as his product, see?
And his product is women
You got to go out there
and you got to get the best ones you can find
You got to work them broads like nobody's ever worked them before
And never forget--
anybody can control a woman's body, see
but the key is to control her mind
You see pimpin' is big business
It's been going on since the beginning of time
and it's gonna continue straight ahead...
till somebody up there turns out the lights
on this small planet.
Can you dig it?
Yeah, yeah I can dig it
Right on
Mind if l--
Goldie!
Lulu! God damn, baby!
I was just thinking about you a couple of days ago, man!
Look at you Wow!
You look pretty good
Let me buy you a drink - Okay
Wow!
When did they let you out? - I just got in town
Wow--goddamn, yyou look good to me, do you hear me?
You look so good. How long has it been about five years?
No, it's been four years, 349 days,
two hours and 20 minutes,
Wow, it must have been awful funky,
'cause you got it down to the minutes,
No, no, it was okay,
I kind of dug it, you know?
I really dug it, I'm a time freak,
Come on,
I cant really joke about that, It was a bitch,
It was a bitch, baby, you know?
They turn you into an animal,
then they talk all that "rehabilitation" shit, you know?
Why are we talking about me? We know where live been,
You can look at my shirt, right?
What you been doing? What you been into?
Nothing much-- just trying to get over,
turning a few tricks here and there,
Wow...
When I was up in that place,
I used to do all sorts of fantasies and dreams about you,
I used to picture you as a big-time nurse,
or a lawyer, or something heavy like that,
That would be righteously together if I was white,
But I dont have to tell you how hard it is
for a nigger to earn a decent living,
Besides, it's just a job that pays the bills,
Yeah, them bills do have to be paid,
You know, Goldie, there are a lot of people who dont dig me,
What are you talking about? - You know I'm an outlaw,
A lot of the pimps are down on me 'cause I wont choose,
Goldie, you know,
I need a man, I need somebody in my corner,
Not just because I'm paying him,
but somebody to be there, Do you think I'm wrong?
No. I dont think you're wrong at all,
Help me, then, Goldie,
Man. I-- I'm tired of being by myself,
Man, I need you,
Man, you'll never regret it,
I'll do anything do you hear me?
Anything--everything that you ask me to do,
You'll never have to look behind you--
I'll always be there,
Goldie, please help me,
I gotta think about it. It might just work.
Hey, man, I gotta split now,
I gotta go catch this little trick,
Why dont you come by the pad a little later?
It'll be like you never left,
Goldie, please?
Later, baby, Go do what you gotta do,
You know, go ahead,
Hip, hip... - Hooray,
Welcome home,
You remember us,

If youive got any problems, come to us,
Okay? We're here to serve you,
Any problems at all-- rape, murder...

We want you to do something,
Anything.

and my partner and l will bust your ass?
Okay? Perfect,
You lousy punk!
I should have finished you off in the junkyard,
Next time, I'll pull the trigger,

Easy!
You pissed him off, You're always pissing him off!
Now you listen to me, boy,
You breathe too deep, you blink once too often,
I'm gonna make you look like an ad
for Swiss cheese!
Okay?
Look at yourself, Goldie,
Look at yourself,
You used to be a sharp dresser-- you're a mess!
Get your shit together, brother,
Mama...?
Goldie?
Goldie, baby?
Is it really you?
How are you doini, lady?
Thank God,
Let me look at you,
You've gotten thin, I can feel--
I havent lost any weight, live always been skinny,
Oh, honey, it's so good to have you,
It's good to be here, Mama,
Oh, Goldie, I thought about you every day,
I dreamed about you almost every night,
You were always on my mind,
always beside me,
You know, sometimes I'd be sitting in church
and I'd see your face right in front of me,
I tried to imagine where you were and what you were doing,
I tried to understand why you were there,
I said to myself,
"Why did l bring us here? i, i
Mama, we didnt have a choice,
After Daddy was killed, we had to leave Alabama,
Goldie... what are you gonna do now?
Why dont you fix me something to eat?
Can you fix me something? I havent had anything all day,
I have plenty of food, Come on,
I need to fatten you up anyway,
I want you to look me straight in the eyes
and tell me what you're gonna do,
Mama, look-- I'm gonna make a lot of money,
I'm gonna buy you nice things and get you out of here,
I'm gonna buy the things I promised you,
Son, please, come to church with me and pray with me,
Mama. I'm tired of praying in church,
I spent five years in prison,
I gotta go out and fight that man the only way I know,
Goldie? - Yeah?
Please...
please take care of yourself,
I'm gonna take care of myself,, okay?
Take care of yourself, son,
I'm gonna take care of you, too,
I really am,
Aw, look at you, look at you,
Kinda silly, isn't it?
You look so pretty with all that water on your face,
Iive loved you for a long time, lady,
Goldie, Goldie...
Come here, come here, Dont do that,
So you must first of all remember,
this system was not originally...
designed with Black people in mind,
Right on, brother! Right on!
And it definitely was not prepared
for Black people to, in the end, begin to demand their rights
and an equal share in this country which theyive died for,
Right on!
Hey--and we definitely are not going back to Africa
Right on! Right on, brother! We aint goini back!
For us to exist in this system,
we must first of all realize
that we have got to form our own Black America,
within-- but without-- white America.
Right on!
Already weive begun to do this,
with this little handshake that we've got,
that they keep trying to copy, and we keep improving on,
When they go and get their hair fluffed out, we braid ours,
We're doing our own thing, We are creating,
Right on! Right on, brother!
Right on!
We have, first of all,
got to protect our brothers and sisters from themselves,
and from those within the community
that would rip them off, We have got to do this,
We have got to stop sacrificing our sisters to the streets
and our brothers to the drugs--
Right on!
We have got to turn that around and take from them,
I believe in taking,
Go to school and get that knowledge--
but get it with that Black awareness always here,
What I'm saying to you...
is that you've got to carry this "Right On,"
and "Power to the People" and "Black is Beautiful"
and "Black is Now" out into your homes,
Talk to your little brothers and sisters,
Talk to your mothers and fathers,
Talk to the people that you can relate to
and begin to lift this whole thing up on a total basis,
Weive got to side up to that sister,
because that sister on...
the street corner is someone's sister,
That little brother that thinks it's nice to be high,
weive got to show him another alternative,
We've got to take care of our present...
Right on, right on!
We've got to take care of our future,
Right on, brother!
This is how we begin...
to create a Black America within...
but without white America,
God damn!
Hey, man, this is my brother!
We're gonna get some shit on together now!
Shit, man, I'm so glad to see your ass!
Hey, man, hey-- we're ready, man,
We're ready, It's all here,
You look good, God, you look good,
Shit--the way you whipped my ass?
I said, "I'm gonna get my stuff together,
When this nigger comes back, he aint gonna jump on me!"
I can still whip your ass
I'm ready for you, - I just went by to see Mama,
Oh, wow,
Mama aint been able to understand me since Dad died,
But with you here, we're gonna get a lot straightened out,
I mean, the shit is together, man, We're here!
I might as well tell you now,
I might not be able to tell you later--
Hot damn, John!
I'm gonna get my stuff together too,
I got some things I wanna do,
All right, hey-- well, shit, it's here.
That's the only way you're gonna get something done--
do it yourself if you want to accomplish something,
I'm so glad to see you
I think I'm gonna adopt that formula for myself,
All right!
This is all right! This is my brother, man!
How old are you, Willie?
How old do you think?
Oh, about 40, - I happen to be 18,
Man, all bitches are the same,
just like my ho's, you know? I keep 'em, broke,
If they wake up one morning with some money,
they're subject to go crazy,
I keep 'em looking good, pretty and all that,
but no dough, And when I get a bitch, I got a bitch,
Right on,
Remember that Mack, "The Bear"?
Yeah, - Tried to steal one of my bitches,
I called him up on the telephone,
I said, "Mack, come over to the pad,
let's rap a taste on it"
So when he comes over. I told her to give him a little taste,
'cause she sure as shit wasn't get in none from me,
See, that nigger wanted the honey,
all we wants is the money,
I was out on the streets driving checkin' on my game--
I hear you,
I ran into a little old nice thing you wouldn't believe it,
No shit? - Aw, she was a beauty,
Oh, man,
You know how these young macks are,
They dont have their shit in order,
I ran down and copped this little thing
and knocked her over, so I went and stashed that away,
Tell me, what are you gonna do with this one?
Man, shit, You know how I am, I'm gonna run my thing,
It's all about the money game, I do mine from Frisco to Maine,
You know how that is, - You gonna put her on the track?
Most definitely, Gotta do a little grooming first,
I can do that. - Then it's cool.
I had a little "shoobie-doobie" for you last night,
Did you? I'm sorry I missed that...
I'm gonna be the meanest mack who ever lived,
They're gonna talk about Goldie like they used to talk about Jesus!
A-men!
They're gonna have to rewrite
the macking game book,
'cause I'm gonna be the new king!
I'm gonna be so cold-blooded, baby,
that they're gonna have to change the name of the game,
And...
I'm gonna get the hottest bitches I can find,
a whole boatload of money,
then I'm gonna get myself
some fine-looking vines and a great looking ride,
then I'm just gonna stir it all up.
I'm gonna say, "Come and get it, Come and get it," I am,
Shit, you dont know nothing about "Mack",
Everything you need to know, you got to get from me,
I remember when I first met you, you know?
You were just a shinyeyed little girl
running around with a snotty nose,
You know what? You were a funny-looking dude,
with one baggy suit,
and you had the biggest feet I ever seen in my life!
Feet!
You remember how we used to run all the way home
from school for lunch and there was no food there?
Yeah...
I remember,
I remember every bit of that, man,
You know... I even remember my mama's face
when she used to yell out the window for me to come in,
My mama was so pretty,
But...
I never went in,
I dont know...
I guess there was nothing to go in for, you know?
Listen to me
Everybody
While I tell you a story about "The Mack"
The Mack-- The Mack The Mack
He's gonna show you where it's at
Now Goldie had it together

He knew what he wanted, and the only way he could get it
Was cash in the hand,

I dont want to hear you say that again,
That goes for the rest of you, if you want to be my partner,
You can be a lawyer, yyou can be a doctor, yyou can be anything
but I dont ever want to hear you want to be like me,, okay?
Okay,

I'll be there, - All right, Later,
Dizzy world, my mind's in a daze
Plastic smiles
Mixed up, with phony ways...
What'd you do yesterday, man? I tried to reach you all day,
I was busy, man, I told you,
I called your house, You wasnt home, nigger,
I had to get rid of a truckload of shit,
I know you tried to call me, You know what I did?
I dont know,
I know you dont know, I haven't told you yet,
I went out to the stable,
To white folks, stable? - Yeah, where Jeff works,
You know that big dude? That big bad dude?
He put me on a chick whose father is a corporate lawyer,
Wait a minute, On the real side?
Yeah, her name is Diane,
Little short white bitch? With the long hair?
First time I saw her, my kneecaps got hard,
But I got it together, - How did you do, nigger?
Well. I made out like I couldnt ride a horse,
Aw, man, you're cold, What'd you do?
Been riding since we were 1 3, right?
And she took off like the Lone Ranger,
I even took her out to the restaurant,
I spent a lot of bread on that chick last night, wrapping her up,
Aw, man, she got some money,
It's going to pay off, - - And the bitch is fine!
That's okay, when I finish with her.,
I'll let you have her..
Man, that's beautiful, 'Cause they talking about you,
I heard niggers be doing "Goldie! Goldie!" Bitches--
Pretty Tony knocked a bitch down...
the other night, You know Sandra?
Talking about me? - Yeah, talking about, "Goldie!"
I said, "Who is Goldie? I dont know who he is,"
The way they was talking...
Something that bothers me-- - What bothers you, nigger?
If you listen, I'm gonna tell you,
I cant get it in my head how a bitch can walk the street every night--
even in the rain-- and take a chance...
on getting robbed
or sent to jail, or even getting her arm broke
by some sadistic fool out the suburbs, right?
Then she gets all that money, and gives it to some dude,
I cant figure that shit out, - The game is strong, baby,
I aint talking about me, I'm talking about other cats,
You motherfucker,
You're showing some titty, too,
Let me suck that titty,
While I'm thinking about it, thank you...
for what you did for my mother,
I'm serious about it, Let's go all the way,
Get some money, man, Aint no need...
to bullshitThese niggers in love,
Talking about "players," They aint no players,
I'm kinda drunk, now, but I'm cool,
But players take care of business, I knew you was a player, nigger,
Aint a nigger in the world got me to shootout but you,
Didn't we? Did we shoot out? I didn't run,
Know what I mean, baby? Me and you,
Okay, all right,
We gonna have bitches from all over the world,
It's gonna be like the Muhammad Ali--Frazier return bout,
I know! We gonna have bitches from Ha--wa--ii!
You ever seen a nigger with a bitch from Ha--wa--ii?
Never! - It's going to be a monster,
We gonna get down, - It's gonna be a monster,
Ever since I was 1 3, my biggest problem has been
to find the right road to get to that...
rainbow that everybody talks about,
Most people get close enough to count the stripes,
but they dont have enough guts...
to reach out and take that pot of gold,
And what are you going to do?
I'm gonna walk off with the whole pot,
You gonna share that with anyone?
There's a possibility I mhight sharee it
with a little lady I just met, who calls herself Diane,
It's not gonna be easy though, baby,
It's not gonna be easy, It's gonna be hard work,
I really have a lot of good feelings,
I know when I first saw you, I just wanted to touch you,
and hold you,
And there's an incredible excitement about you,
Youive been very powerful,
I had those good feelings about you when I first saw you,
So where do we go from here?
We go all the way to the top, if you're not afraid,
Everything's gonna be all right,
I'm gonna be everything to you,
I'm gonna be your father, I'm gonna be your friend,
I'm gonna be your lover, but you gotta believe in me,
You gotta believe
that everything I tell you to do is for the best,
For the both of us,, okay?
Okay,
Let's have a drink,
Here's...
a toast to what we're getting into,
Trick or treat?
What hole did you crawl up out of this time, eh?

Still look like a little greaseball,
You know, someday, I'm going to get the chance
to rearrange that ugly black face of yours,
Not if I see you first--
you little ugly dwarf,
The Fatman wants to see you-- now,
Tell the Fatman that I say go play with himsejf.
He ain't gonna like that,
He's going to get very angry,
You ever thought of having plastic surgery done to your face?
Youive got five seconds to get your crummy hand off my coat,
or I'm gonna rip a hole in that greasy face of yours,
Listen, I may be a greaseball now,
I may still be a greaseball tomorrow,
but tomorrow, you'll still be Black!
Stop it!
Diane, your timing is off,
Chico, I want you to make a sweeping gesture,
get that stuff out of the way, turn and get the hell out of there,
It's horse and mule time, Get over to the clothes rack,
Wait a minute!

Chico, walk like it's a newborn baby,
Get it together! Let's try it again,
You're on,

You're on top now, Goldie, So listen to me,
The word's out you've been set up for a robbery,
Who is it? - The gambler,
I'm gonna give you a break this time...

Get your dope-pushing ass in the car!
Shit!
You all right?
There goes the best pusher we got,
Out of commission,
When they get through with him,
he'll come back as a monk,
Incredible. Incredible,
Can you imagine that self-righteous son of a bitch
trying to make this neighborhood safe
for people to walk around in? And you mark my words,
he keeps doing that, we're gonna be broke,
You hear me? We're gonna be broke and on our asses,
You know something?
My wind was better before I quit smoking,
I wanna know where these bitches are,
Nobody's out on the corner, Where the hell are they?
I gotta straighten their heads out, you know?
I let a bitch get away with something last night,
I shouldn't have let her get away with it,
Put a foot to her ass,
What'd you say? Put a foot to her ass?
Rght oon, baby - That's beautiful.
Put a foot to her ass,
That's just what I'm gonna do, Wow!
He tried to kill me, Goldie!
He took all my money,
and he made me strip... - What are you talking about?
Why arent you where you're supposed to be?
The white trick, Goldie, He tried to off me, man,
Let me tell you something, Listen to me closely,
I dont give a shit about what happened to you,
Now I want you to get yourself together
get back out there, and get me my money,
I dont care how long it takes you, get out there and get it!
Now get!
How you like it, man?
Yeah, it's all right, man, but it definitely ain't me..
It's not even where my head is,
I'm trying to get away from shit like this, man,
It's not really that bad, though, I got about 30,000 tied up in this,
Man, it wasn't like this before, When we were little,
all you used to talk about, after our old man died,
was how you were gonna get Mom a decent place to live in,
How you were gonna work real hard...
to get her a new pad,
I can buy a house now, I can buy anything I want,
I'm getting ready to buy her a place right now,
These are my people out here, I got a whole thing out here,
I'm controlling. I got a lot of things I'm manipulating..
I got a nice life, man,
These people out here on the streets...
are your people, huh?
Here I am, your own brother, trying to clean up the streets,
You're telling me people on the streets are "your people"?
Hey, look here, You know what I'm doing?
I got a little show I call the "Planetarium Show,"
I got a thing that I do with my women,
I put on a show for iem and I talk,
I want you to come and check it out for me, okay?
You've got to be living!
No. I'm serious, It's really fun, man,
I really got those bitches minds controlled, bro',
I'm laughing, but it an't funny,.
You are all here
because you have successfully passed
one of the requirements to become a member
of Goldie's illustrious family,
This family is like a large corporation

or if you prefer, "gifted actresses,"
But I'd rather call you "Professional Ladies of Leisure,"

In this organization there is a president,
a director, and a teacher,
All of these offices are held by me,
In this family, there is no room for confusion,
Anyone or anything opposing my will,
must be, and will be... destroyed!
Now these are my rules and regulations,

"l will not cheat."
"l will confide in and respect Goldie,"

All right, what can we do for you?
Welll... to begin with...
how about a quarter for a cup of coffee?
You know. I used to think you were smart,
I thought you had the brights,
But it turns out you're nothing but another street punk,
What you trying tose, huh? - I'm sellling you survival.
You play ball with me, everything will be all right,
But keep going the way you are, keep fucking up...
I'm going to save a spot for you in the morgue,
Are you threatening me, man? - Me? Threaten you, Goldie?
No, I'm making a suggestion, that's all,
It's part of the community relations program--
you know, get to know your neighborhood better,
"Take a Nigger to Lunch Week," you know, things like that,
Listen to me,
We can work together, I can help you,
I dont want to be on that side,
I want to be on your side,
You dig? - I can dig it, man,
Hey look, I'm tired of talking to you,, okay?
Is that it, Goldie? - That's it, man.
How long has it been, Goldie?
It's been a long time!
You don't want that, do you?
I remember when you used to love that stuff,
Turn him loose.
Get away!
What do you want, Goldie?
Tell me,
You can have anything you want, okay?
You name it and I'll give it to you,
And do you know why?
Because you're my golden boy,
I'm not your boy, Why did you have these idiots snatch me up here?
I sent you invitations.
live been busy, man! - - So have l,
Okay, I'm here! Tell me what it is,
Goldie, first of all I wanted to see you,
Okay, you're looking at me!
We had some awfully good times together, Goldie,
I remember those times, Fats, I remember too well, man,
You lived awfully well, baby,
I paid though, man, I paid so much,
Ah...
But I dont pay no more, I'm living in a different world,
Yeah?
Outside,
That's what I want to talk to you about, Goldie--
your future world,
Come here,
Goldie...
I want you to come back to work for me, Goldie,
I want you to come back to work for me,
It'll be like old times, Better than old times,, okay?
Now wait a minute,
You realize something Goldie, that...
you were the only person that I could trust
in that whole ghetto?
I mean, yyou always stood up straight,
You did what you were told,
and I never forgot that,
I'm giving you a chance to win it all, baby--
I'm not intersted, Fats!
What, are you going to go on playing "Fagan"?
What do you got? A ragtag bunch of pretty little girls,
Look, that "ragtag bunch of pretty young girls"
brings me in at least 3,000 a week,
Chicken feed,
It may be chicken feed to you, but it's not chicken feed to me!
It's a million miles from where I came from,
A, million miles from the cold cuts,
and that filth, and that dirt,
and all that otherfuckup!
3,000 was a lot to me then, and it's still a lot,
I 'm not asking you, Goldie, I 'm telling you,
I've invited you in, and you're coming in,
Look at this arm, Do you remember this arm?
I remember it!
Remember all the shit that went in it, man?
Goldie, you're getting too big!
Do you remember all that shit that went into my arm?
Yeah! - Well then, look at it!
I'm looking at it. I told you before, you're too big,
You're getting too big, The word has come down,
It's not healthy to get too big!
You're going to go to work for me,
and the first thing you're going to do...
is go back on the street,
You're going to tell that brother of yours to cool off,
and I want no more attempts to throw...
our people off the streets,
Now go home,
Dont touch me!
Dont touch me,
You really dont understand, do you?
Dont you realize in order for us to make this thing work,
weive got to get rid of the pimps, the pushers, and the prostitutes,
and then start all over again, clean?
Hey, look, nobody's pushing me anywhere,
Not you, not the cops, nobody, man!
You want to get rid of the pushers, I'll help you,
but dont send your people after me,
Oh, come on, John,
Cant you see, we cant get rid of one without the other?
We got to come down on both of 'em at the same time
in order for this to work for the people,
Hey look, nobody's closing me out of my business,
Hey, man, yyou're my flesh and blood,
You're making me make a decision I dont want to make, John,
You're my brother, man, cant you understand that?
Look--being brothers aint got nothing to do with it,
I got a right to live my life the way I want to live it,
Being rich and Black means something, dont you know that?
Being poor and Black dont mean shit!
We're living in different times, When you and I were young kids,
there were no heroes, We got all sorts of heroes now,
There are kids out there who look up to me, man,
Cant you see that's just teaching Black kids
to exploit their own kind? And that's sick,
It's not sick! It's sick when you got a chance
to get out of a rat-infested ghetto and you don't,
Wow, you've lost your love for...
the brothers altogether, haven't you?
Dont be dropping that "brotherly love" shit on me, man!
For five years I sat up in that place, you never visited me!
You didnt bring me a dime, You didnt write me a letter,
I figured you wanted something better
than dimes and letters and visits,
I tried to create some kind of organization
you could use to fight the system that's been fucking with you,
You too goddamned brainwashed to use it!
I just wanted to see you, man, That's all,
I like women of substance--big...
m-meaty... you know?
Listen, every--
everybody wants to be skinny today,
But you see, that's not real,
You know what's real?
That's real, right there
That's what's real, Look at that,
That's real.
That's something a man can hold on to,
I mean...
small tits and bony asses...
Little necks and skinny legs!
Christ--no way,
That's not truth.
You wanna know what truth is? Hmm?
I'll tell you what truth is.
Truth is...
pimples,
and garlic,
armpits.
That's what truth is.
There's a- there's an animal in the jungle
who has--
four small legs--
skinny, skinny--
and he has a long skinny neck,
What the hell do you call it, anyway?
Oh--it's a giraffe, Yeah,
Yeah, it's a giraffe,
Now, a giraffe is skinny, you see?
And that sucker can sneak up on you,
You never trust anybody with skinny legs
or a skinny ass, You just dont do it,
You know what you can trust?
You can trust an elephant, You know why?
iCause an elephant has big legs,
and they cant sneak up on you like a giraffe can,
And that's why I like elephants,
You know?
Come on in,
Hank... you are slippini, baby,
Now, that was a giraffe,
It's the one right there on the first floor,
You can move in any time you get ready,
For me? - Yeah, for you,
Really, Goldie? - It's yours, Mom,
I've always wanted a nice place,
I just can't belivee it.
Wait till you see inside,
Now I can do some of the things live always wanted to,
I can invite my friends over, have a nice dinner,
I have two fine sons
that are always giving me nice gifts,
I'm a very lucky woman,
We're lucky sons,
Well, as I live and breathe, it's Sergeant Duncan,
So it is,
You know, he's a white knight--
no, he's a Black knight-- on a white horse,
Right,
You know what I got on my "white horse"?
Evidence,
Names...
dates...
photographs,
and witnesses,
You been a busy boy,
I've got all I need on you two...
jive-ass cops,
Jesus H, Christ! I really dont understand you,
Here you are, a police officer--
I mean, you should be doing your duty,
At this moment, there are women being raped in this city,
children being molested, stores being held up,
drunks staggering around into innocent old ladies,
You're playing "Sherlock Holmes" and screwing around with us
because of some... misunderstanding?
Let's get a cup of coffee, all right? This is ridiculous,
You know what you're gonna get?
You're gonna get 24 hours,
24 hours to get out of this precinct,
Now, you gotta be punished because of that,
Police! You, you, and you, up against the wall,
Move! Come on, move!
All I want to see is assholes and elbows, Come on, boy,
Move!
Put your hands up, Goldie,
Put 'em up, you son of a bitch!
Up!
What the fuck is this? I got too much money for this shit,
I thought you paid these poop-butts off,
Now, spread 'em, - Hey--I'm a rich nigger,
I got lawyers, you beat-walkini motherfucker,
Oof!
Come on, come on, Spread 'em out!
Now, a Black cop has been killed,
Goldie, I think you and that freak did it,
Outside-- now! Move!
Come on! - - Now, move it!
Looks like somebody broke your door,
Get it fixed,
Go on home, Goldie,
Just walk down the street, and go on home,
Go on home, baby,
Come on-- walk down the street and go on home,
Go on, - Come on, nigger, run,
I an't runnin' noplace. - Just run down thee street.
Kill me here, You wanna kill me, motherfucker?
Then off me-- kill me, you know what I mean?
I ain't runnin' no motherfuckin' place.
I aint no track star, I'm gonna get your ass, Hank,
I'll kill you, you son of a bitch
Kill me, motherfucker! - I'll blow your fuckini head off!
I'll kill you, you Black bastard!
Both you fuckers are gonna get it!
You motherfuckini punk! He's a punk, Goldie,
We're gonna get the motherfucker, 'cause he's a punk!
You ain't shit! I'm gonna get him, Goldie!
Goldie, we gonna get iem, 'cause they pulled down on us,
They didn't use thatshit, baby!
The motherfucker pulled a gun on me, man!
I ain't bullshittin', brother!
We gonna get iem!
Punk--ass motherfucker!
As he's going down the road,
he looked back at his old hometown,
He didnt know where he was going
he didn't know what he was doing
but he was going to a world of trouble,
A world of misunderstanding a world of doubt,
A world of whores, a world of hypocrites!
A world of gamblers, a world of dope smokers!
A world of prostitutes! He was going into a mean world,
but he didnt know where he was going,
You understand me?
He didn't know where he was going,
He was going to a world that was gonna destroy him,
but he didnt know where he was going,
You know, so many of us today are doing things to ourselves,
because we dont know what we're doing!
You understand me?
If we just stop and think about ourselves sometimes,
everything would be all right, You understand me?
We're gonna jump off the Bay Bridge...
worried about this man,
worried about that man,
because we dont know who we are,
we dont know where we're going
and we dont know what we was here for!
You understand me? Good God Almighty,
Look at this boy with his big money,
He's on the crap table now, shooting his dice,
He aint got sense enough to know his money aint gonna last
doing these wrong things,
doing these worldly things-- gambling and drinking--
it's a end to these things,
One of these days, one of these hours,
it's gonna run out, But one of these days,
you're gonna have to make up your mind to change your ways,
I can see this young man-- oh, good God,
I can see this young man as he made up in his mind
to start back home,
He money ran out, his friends walked off and left him,
His buddies walked off and left him,
his girlfriends quit him, He lost all he had,
He had dirt all on his clothes, his hair got bad,
He said, "Look at me, just look at me,
Here I am, a young man, had a good home,
had a good father and had a good mother,
but here I am-- turned the rags to riches
out here in the mean world, I dont know where I'm going
or where I'm coming, I believe I'll go back home,"
When they got you crying...
We got to go home!
Oh-hh--
Church today! Get ready!

Goldie, get off my ass...

I come down and talk to you personally,
and all you can do is embarrass me,
You think I'm suddenly less because you got big ideas?
Is that what you think? I'm more, Goldie,
I'm much more,
Listen, do you think...
that I want to hear about somebody
muscling you,, or coming down on a contract on you?
I dont believe you, man, I dont believe you!
Goldie. I cant protect you forever,
I mean, after all of these years...
after all these years I realize why they call you "Fatman"--
It's not just because of your fat stomach,
or because your pockets are fat with money--
it's because of your fat head,
Just do me a favor. Iive been having...
a good time all night,
Leave me alone, will ya?
I've had enough out of you,
I'm not gonna take any more shit from you, Goldie,
When I tell you to shit, squat, grunt, and ask what color,
The people with the funny hats and the noisemakers,
they've gone home, The party's over, baby,
It's dawn. It's reality.
You... you're a pig,
You're a greedy, greedy pig,
You're proud of it, too, arent you?
You're just really proud-- "Yeah, yyeah, yyeah!"
You won't be satisfied until every 10-month-old kid
has a needle stuck in his arm, you know that?
You're worse than cancer,
You're like an epidemic, You're a disease, man!
You're like a curse,
Let me tell you something Fatman,
Let me tell you something you vicious-ass piece of jelly!
I'm gonna drive you off the streets,
I'm gonna drive you back...

Hey, bitch, come here!

You shade-tree nigger, You aint no pimp,
You're a rest haven for ho's,
You're a car thief! A car thief!
That one you got is probably hot as a firecracker right now!
That was 35,000? - 35,000 cash money,

You wont have to look for me,
Don't even look over your shoulder,
'cause I'll be there,
You believe that,
Goldie... somebody dropped a dime,
They got a contract out on you,
Who is it?
There's two on the fire escape,
and there's three or four in a car downstairs,
None of it makes sense, man,
None of it,
We're gonna beat iem, Goldie,
Come on, we're gonna beat 'em,
Change,
I'll meet you there, Slim, Be careful,
You guessed it, pimp,
We killed him,
Want to know something else? I killed your mama,
I'd like to do it again,
I almost forgot that, We killed your mama, too,
Hank--!
Get down,
Goldie...
I'm you, and you're me,
I mean...
you would have done the same thing,
The same thing, man,
The same thing,
The same things!
Brother's gonna work it out
Now dont give him no peace sign
If you dont mean it from your heart
United, we can get over
Yet we're still apart
'Cause each man demands respect
And to get his equal share
And untill you're giving him that
There'll be no peace
Brother's gonna work it out
Let's all join hands, we can march across this land
In peace
Love, joined with an understanding
Of truly who we are
Instead of brother turning on sister
Sister turning on brother
Now how you gonna get it together being against one another?
Shoot up, stick up, so high till your world has turned to stone
How can you deal with the truth When reality's all gone?
But brother's gonna work it out...
Brother's gonna work it out.
