00:00:17Hey, bruh, I'm telling you, the street shit ain't where it's set.
00:00:20It's like every other day I'm hearing about someone who looks just like me and you losing their life out
00:00:25here.
00:00:28Even worse than that, it's someone that looks just like us that's doing the killing.
00:00:32Swann, my cousin's got arrested last week for murder.

00:01:47I'm telling you, that's why I'm just trying to stack my paper, get this car, pay my way through college,
00:01:53and get out of these streets.

00:01:58Become an entrepreneur?
00:02:00Hell, I might even make it on the cover of Black Enterprise one day.

00:06:44Him and his crew move different than us.
00:06:46They pack guns, sell drugs, and behave like criminals.
00:07:02Unfortunately, this was just the cost of doing business.
00:07:07We had to watch our backs any time that it was around, they would be out here trapping
00:07:17in bright daylight, and 12 wasn't doing nothing about it.
00:07:36Let's go water!
00:07:39Let's go water!

00:18:56And patience is key.
00:18:59I know.
00:19:00It's frustrating.
00:19:02I know.
00:19:03You ever thought about applying to local colleges?
00:19:08I really want to go out of state.
00:19:10And I really want you to stay home.
00:19:12I want to get us out of here.
00:19:14At least out of this neighborhood.
00:19:18Yeah, I know.
00:19:20It's like ever since your father passed, you became the man of the house.
00:19:25Mm-hmm.
00:19:26I had to.
00:19:27Who else is going to protect you?
00:19:29Protect me?
00:19:30I ain't no punk now.
00:19:32I could take care of myself.
00:19:35You remember...
00:19:36You remember Marvin?
00:19:38Of course.
00:19:39The only guy you dated since dad?
00:19:41Yes.
00:19:41The only guy and the last guy.
00:19:44Thank God.
00:19:45Hey, you remember that time y'all was arguing in your bedroom?
00:19:48And I was standing outside with the bat?
00:19:50How could I forget?
00:19:52Yeah.
00:19:53He was about to get it.
00:19:55You were eight.
00:19:56Yeah, but I had a cold swing.
00:19:57Mm-hmm.
00:19:59You did.
00:20:01I love you.
00:20:03I love you too, Mama.
00:20:06You know, I was watching on the news what happened to the water boys.
00:20:12Mom, I told you.
00:20:14I'm good.
00:20:17That stuff just really makes me afraid for you.
00:20:20Remember what you told me?
00:20:22What's that?
00:20:23Fear and faith can't occupy the same space.
00:20:26Yes, but that doesn't mean you intentionally go put yourself in harm's way.
00:20:32Them corners is dangerous.
00:20:35I'll be all right.
00:20:40Will you just humor me and try to get a job doing something else?
00:20:48Okay.
00:20:56I felt my mother's concerns and decided I would give the job her one last try.
00:21:03Do you have any experience in retail?
00:21:07I don't, but I'm a quick learner.
00:21:10Yes.
00:21:11Positive attitude.
00:21:13Do you have any experience in retail?
00:21:17I like to shop.
00:21:21Shopping.
00:21:22All right.
00:21:23So, have you ever been convicted of a crime?
00:21:26Absolutely not.
00:21:28I try my best to avoid trouble at all times.
00:21:30Yes.
00:21:32Yes.
00:21:35Have you ever been convicted of a crime?
00:21:47So, what would you consider?
00:21:49A crime?
00:21:50Exactly.
00:21:54That'll be all.
00:21:56Make it a job?
00:21:58Uh, no.
00:21:59Uh, no.
00:22:02Wait.
00:22:03It's because I'm black.
00:22:07Okay.
00:22:09Looks like I've seen everything I need.
00:22:12Congratulations.

00:55:05Today on the west side of Atlanta,
00:55:07police were called to the scene of a shooting involving water boys.
00:55:11Witnesses say there was an altercation between two rival groups of water boys.
00:55:17That's when shots rang out.
00:55:19The entire scene was captured on cell phone stage.
00:55:23Citizens continue to pressure the mayor's office to take action.
00:55:27More on the story at 11.
00:55:46Oh, my God.
00:55:47What happened?
00:55:48What happened?
00:55:49I don't want to talk about it.
00:55:50Let me look at you and you're a kid.
00:55:51What happened?
00:55:51I'm fine.
00:55:53You gotta stop selling water.
00:55:55What else am I gonna do?
00:55:57There is no other choice for a young black man without no degree.
00:56:00And I can't buy a car, and I gotta pay for my way through college with the minimum wage job?
00:56:07It's just too dangerous.
00:56:10Life is dangerous.
00:56:11If I'm gonna die, I'd rather die doing something with my life.
00:56:26Deep down inside, I knew she was right.
00:56:56There is no other choice for a young black man without no degree.
00:57:13Thanks for coming down to chat.
00:57:15Thanks for having me.
00:57:16Yeah, yeah. You know what? Let me go give you a tour real quick, all right?

00:57:49Let me go.
00:57:49Let me go.
00:57:49Let me go.
00:58:15Let me go.
00:58:23So what's going on in your world right now?
00:58:28Things could be better.
00:58:30Why you say that?
00:58:31Yeah.
00:58:32These corners are getting dangerous, man.
00:58:37It's like we're starting to deal with the same type of drama we would have if we were selling drugs.
00:58:41Yeah, I heard about that shooting on the news.
00:58:44Yeah, I heard about that shooting on the news.
00:58:45Yeah, that was me.
00:58:46Doing the shooting?
00:58:47No, no, getting shot at.
00:58:49Drew, what is your end game, man?
00:58:52What do you mean?
00:58:53I mean, what do you want to get out of selling this water?
00:58:56I'm just trying to save enough money to get a car so I can enroll in college.
00:59:00What you want to study?
00:59:02Graphic design.
00:59:03So you draw?
00:59:03Yeah.
00:59:04You know how to use a computer?
00:59:06I know how to use my iPad and my iPhone.
00:59:08No, I mean a real computer.
00:59:12No, but look at some of the stuff I've done on my phone.
00:59:16Huh.
00:59:17Oh, wow.
00:59:20Dang, bro, this is you?
00:59:21This is impressive.
00:59:25Well, look, I got a graphic design department here.
00:59:28Now, my internship program is a little bit full, but a lot of the kids are going home for the
00:59:33summer.
00:59:34Why don't you fill out the application?
00:59:35I'll put yours on top of the pile.
00:59:37I will.
00:59:40So have you considered going to any local colleges?
00:59:43Nah, I want to go out of state, you know?
00:59:46See something different.
00:59:47Well, if you reconsider, just know I got a little sway around these parts, all right?
00:59:53Okay, I'll keep that in mind.
00:59:54All right.
00:59:55Well, let me go back into this office, brother.
00:59:57But please, make me one promise, Drew.
01:00:02Promise me you're going to be safe on these streets, brother.
01:00:06I will.
01:00:13Talk to you.
01:00:19In response to the recent violence surrounding Waterboys, the mayor has ordered a citywide crackdown.
01:00:28The mayor finally took action to try to shut us down.
01:00:36We will not tolerate these thugs fronting as entrepreneurs terrorizing our street corners.
01:00:44Therefore, I have called an immediate crackdown on the so-called Waterboys.
01:00:55If they do not have a vendor's license or behave accordingly, they will not be allowed to sell waters on
01:01:02these corners.
01:01:12We didn't even do nothing to you, brother.
01:01:16Wait, hold on.
01:01:17Hold on.
01:01:18Hold on.
01:01:19Hold on.
01:01:20I know these kids.
01:01:22I'm going to give them a ride home and give them a nice stern talking to.
01:01:38Get in.
01:01:43You guys going to have to find something else to do.
01:01:48Like what?
01:01:50Sell drugs?
01:01:53There is nothing else out here for us.
01:01:57Name it.
01:02:00Why you think they call it the truck?
01:02:04One shoot up.
01:02:06They ain't no eye.
01:02:08I would think the police would muck right at the other side of selling water and kicking in four doors.
01:02:15Look, I totally understand that.
01:02:19But with all the drama surrounding the Waterboys, it's going to be nearly impossible for y'all to continue to
01:02:24operate.
01:02:25At least within Atlanta city limits.
01:02:28Mm-hmm.
01:02:29I don't 12 have better shit to worry about.
01:02:33Like all the violence in the city.
01:02:35It's Atlanta.
01:02:37I promise you, these little incidents with us, that ain't nothing compared to what's really going on out here.
01:02:42Look.
01:02:43This is true.
01:02:45But once members of the community start flooding the mayor's office with complaints, he has to do something.
01:02:52He's a publicly elected official.
01:02:55Therefore, us serve the people.
01:03:00We serve the people, huh?
01:03:04What people?
01:03:06What do these people from?
01:03:08What do these people look like?
01:03:12Because it sure enough don't feel like he here to serve us.
01:03:15Listen.
01:03:16Listen.
01:03:17I have a teenage nephew.
01:03:19So I understand what you guys are up against.
01:03:21You are too smart, ambitious young man.
01:03:25So I'm sure y'all figure something out.
01:03:32Think about what I said, alright?
01:03:36Be careful.
01:03:51We done had no choice but to keep selling water.
01:03:55We just had to find another corner to stand on.
01:04:10Hey, see?
01:04:11I told you we would be straight.
01:04:14I guess you alright.
01:04:16Ain't no competition out here.
01:04:17And business is booming.
01:04:19Y'all gotta listen to your boys sometime.
01:04:21Bro, what the hell?
01:04:27What the fuck?
01:04:34Griff don't know, y'all.
01:04:35Y'all got something that you're doing here?
01:04:37Shit making money.
01:04:39What it look like?
01:04:40Bro, with a hard song all up.
01:04:43I got you.
01:04:44I got you for sure.
01:04:46I got you.
01:04:47I got you.
01:04:49I got you.
01:04:50I got you.
01:04:54I got you.
01:04:54Griff don't need your money.
01:04:56It's my corner.
01:04:57Griff want my corner back.
01:04:59Your corner?
01:05:00Boy, you homeless.
01:05:02You ain't got no corner.
01:05:03Yeah?
01:05:05I mean, I am Atlanta.
01:05:06Matter of fact, it's money back.
01:05:10Give me all your goddamn...
01:05:11Hey, whoa!
01:05:12Calm down.
01:05:13We ain't gotta do this.
01:05:14Bro, we ain't giving you shit.
01:05:16I got a fat...
01:05:17Back your stupid ass up.
01:05:19I popped your ass out here.
01:05:21Yeah.
01:05:23Griff don't want no problem.
01:05:25Yeah.
01:05:25I know you don't.
01:05:27So beat it then, nigga.
01:05:33Go on.
01:05:38Boy, I told y'all we need that straw.
01:05:41Where the fuck did you get that?
01:05:43Don't worry about it.
01:05:44We do not need a gun out here.
01:05:46Like hell.
01:05:48You gotta get rid of that.
01:05:49No, I don't.
01:05:50Well, y'all true.
01:05:51Y'all saw what just happened.
01:05:52We need that fine.
01:05:53Then we can't be in business no more.
01:06:01Fine.
01:06:04Now I ain't gonna find my own block to stand on.
01:06:12You know, I can't believe you acting like a bitch when I just say that.
01:06:18Man.
01:06:19Young.
01:06:23Me.
01:06:27Always saving you.
01:06:32And for what?
01:06:37Y'all feel the same way?
01:06:41No.
01:06:42I'm gonna chill.
01:06:45My dog.
01:06:48Now let's see how I make some money without your butt.
01:06:56Let's get back to work, bro.
01:06:59Come on.
01:06:59Let's get back to work.
01:07:01Water!
01:07:04Water, get your good H2O.
01:07:05Water.
01:07:06Get your good water!
01:07:30That night, I couldn't stop thinking about what happened between me and Dolo.
01:07:45We need to end up.
01:07:49Like, I got the tourists and I hit the VentIL in the User Head.
01:07:50We need to enter a new event.
01:07:50Another nice problem on Mr. änden and Mother, ask us.
01:07:51The paved with Corn, and some of you are right.
01:07:51One tonight after our new fraternity taking,
01:07:53We're all out of your different parts.
01:07:53You're all working in the debates.
01:08:05We have a great job.
01:08:18Water, get your good H2O.
01:08:19Come on, bro. You look dehydrated. Get you some H2O.
01:08:25Water.
01:08:27Water.
01:08:32When I told him I was going to get my own corner stand on,
01:08:36I bet they never thought it'd be across the street.
01:08:42Water.
01:08:48Water.
01:08:58What's happening?
01:09:02That same little nigga from the party the other night, ain't it?
01:09:06Ain't that little buddy from the party that was talking that shit?
01:09:10Mm-hmm.
01:09:11Eat so hard now, little nigga.
01:09:13Matter of fact, run them pockets, little niggas.
01:09:14Run them pockets.
01:09:16I said run them pockets.
01:09:19Mm-hmm.
01:09:20And I'm gonna need a water, too.
01:09:29Mm-hmm.
01:09:32Hell nah.
01:09:33Say what?
01:09:47Back up.
01:09:48Get your little ass back till you be next.
01:09:51Told you to give me a water, little nigga.
01:09:53Mm-hmm.
01:10:13Keep breathing, bro....
01:10:19Keep
01:10:20breathing, bro.
01:10:23No!
01:10:24No!
01:11:13I never felt so much rage in my life.
01:11:16I want it blurred.
01:11:40Baby, you home?
01:11:42I had to work late so it's no dinner, but we could order something.
01:11:50Whoa, whoa, whoa!
01:11:54What are you doing?
01:11:58What happened?
01:12:00They killed Dolo.
01:12:02Who?
01:12:03Lazu.
01:12:04The dude who showed up to the party.
01:12:07I see.
01:12:08I see.
01:12:08I see.
01:12:10And what do you plan on doing with that?
01:12:17Baby, no.
01:12:19Killing somebody is not going to bring your friend back.
01:12:22It's only going to cause another black woman to grieve.
01:12:26I know that you're hurt.
01:12:29And you have every right to be.
01:12:31But violence only begets more violence.
01:12:36I cannot and will not watch you throw your life away in a fit of rage.
01:12:42You're the only thing I got left.
01:12:46All right, all right, all right, all right.
01:12:48Now just calm down.
01:12:51Let me take the gun and let's talk about this.
01:12:56Let's just talk about it.
01:13:01It's going to be all right.
01:13:04I'm so sorry.
01:13:06He's gone.
01:13:08I know.
01:13:09Yeah, he's gone.
01:13:10Oh, I know.
01:13:11I know.
01:13:12I know.
01:13:13I know.
01:13:14I know.
01:13:18Sorry.
01:13:30It's a sad day for our city, our community, our church, and our family.
01:13:45But you must remember that you are not alone.
01:13:52And Matthew 11 to 28 says, come to me, all of you that are weary and carry heavy burdens,
01:14:08and I will give you rest.
01:14:15Take my yoke upon you.
01:14:19Let me teach you because I am humble and gentle at heart.
01:14:26And you will find rest for your souls.
01:14:33For my yoke is easy to bear.
01:14:40And the burden that I give to you is light.
01:14:47Amen.
01:14:48Amen.
01:14:50Amen.
01:14:50Now, Brother Vashon Mitchell is going to sing a wonderful hymn for you guys.
01:14:56And as he sings, we can say our final goodbyes to this young man.
01:15:03Gone way too soon.
01:15:16Greetings, family and friends.
01:15:18I just want to let you know that it won't always be like this.
01:15:21It's turning around for you.
01:15:27Sometimes discouraged, but not defeated.
01:15:36Cast down, but not destroyed.
01:15:43There are times I don't understand, but I believe it's turning around for me.
01:16:00I've had trouble and disappointment.
01:16:08There are times I felt so alone.
01:16:17Some of my friends, they let me down.
01:16:23But I still believe it's turning around for me.
01:16:32Around for me.
01:16:36Around for me.
01:16:41Around for me.
01:16:44It's turning around for me.
01:16:49Around for me.
01:16:53Around for me.
01:16:57Around for me.
01:17:00Around for me.
01:17:00It's turning around.
01:17:02It's turning around for me.
01:17:05God is making a way.
01:17:09The change is coming for me.
01:17:13The change is coming for me.
01:17:20If I stay strong.
01:17:21If I stand strong and deeply
01:17:24There's no reason to doubt
01:17:28I'm the only one, the only one king ever
01:17:33I'm the only one king ever
01:17:44My bad about your loss
01:17:49Damn, he was a good little dude
01:17:52You know this gun violence?

01:18:01Don't you have paying my respects?
01:18:03Get off me, bro
01:18:04Not in the house of the Lord!
01:18:06Just sit down
01:18:32I'm gonna keep on selling water
01:18:40Baby, you don't have to make that decision right now
01:18:44I do
01:18:46I gotta finish what I started
01:18:48Please, think about this, Drew
01:18:51Luzu is still out there
01:18:53I don't care
01:18:54I do
01:18:55Now I lost your father to the streets
01:18:58I'm not about to lose you, too
01:19:06I gotta do this for Dolo
01:19:13Well, just promise me one thing, then
01:19:15That you'll let me know where you're at at all times
01:19:23I promise
01:19:26And most importantly

01:19:33You'll always make it home safe
01:19:36I promise
01:19:39Okay

01:20:09I lost my best friend in the whole world
01:20:13I didn't know if I can carry on without him
01:20:17But I knew I had to

01:20:28Hey, Mr. Woods

01:23:13I took Charles Williams' advice and applied to a local college
01:23:16Tameka decided to stay in Atlanta
01:23:18And got accepted to the same college
01:23:35Despite the continued violent incidents amongst Atlanta's water boys
01:23:39They are still in business with no end in sight
