00:06:00We believe in you.
00:06:02All right, king.
00:06:16All right, king.
00:06:21We were constantly competing for corners with other water buds and drug dents.
00:06:43This is Junior.
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.
00:07:15They would be out here trapping in bright daylight.
00:07:20And 12 wasn't doing nothing about it.
00:07:36Let's go, water!

00:08:51Mm-hmm.
00:08:52Niggas ain't playing.
00:08:54Ready to do it.
00:08:56They were one of the most murderous gangs in the whole city.
00:09:05They were known for hitting licks and killing folks.
00:09:12Lil' Zoo would never hesitate to bust his gun.
00:09:21All these niggas out here, y'all trying to fuck with us, man.
00:09:23Get my block, Lil' Bro.
00:09:24You know I need to end on everything.
00:09:26Although Jun and his crew was trapped, they knew not to even try with Lizzo.
00:09:29See what I'm saying?
00:09:31I need to end on that, too.
00:09:45Hey, y'all.

00:10:06So when you gonna let me take you on the date or something?
00:10:08When you about 20 years older.
00:10:12But then you'll be too old for me by the end.
00:10:14Oh, you done tried it.
00:10:16You know, black don't crack around here.
00:10:17Yeah, I know.
00:10:19So what about me?

00:10:39Let's go.
00:10:44What the hell we doing about Lil' Zulu?
00:10:46I ain't worried about it.
00:10:48I keep telling y'all we need a fire.
00:10:51Oh, see, that's playing right into their hands, my brother.
00:10:53If you live by the gun, you die by the gun.
00:10:55Yeah, he go without it.
00:10:56My brother shit.
00:10:57Man, go on without it.
00:10:58Y'all, I think don't know right, though.
00:11:00We do need some protection on him.
00:11:03No, we don't.
00:11:04When you have a gun, it creates gun problems.
00:11:06And?
00:11:06Look, I'd rather be called witty than what at it.
00:11:10Hell yeah.
00:11:11Whatever.
00:11:13Hey.
00:11:16Shelling water, bro.
00:11:17Why are we so gangsta?
00:11:18Water!
00:11:22Water!
00:11:34Tonight, Mayor Thomas held a press conference
00:11:37regarding the out-of-control street vendors
00:11:40called the Water Boys.
00:11:42You may have seen them on your local street corner
00:11:45selling ice-cold beverages,
00:11:46but some say they have a much more sinister motive.
00:11:50You may also recall that 17-year-old Christopher Hearns
00:11:54was slain over a minor dispute with a fellow water boy.
00:11:57Here's what Mayor Thomas had to say.
00:12:01Now, we are all four young people
00:12:05embracing the entrepreneurial spirit.
00:12:08However, what will not be tolerated
00:12:11is the mob-like mentality some young men have displayed.
00:12:17There have been assaults,
00:12:18car thefts,
00:12:20and unfortunately,
00:12:23a teenager was killed.
00:12:26Now, my office and I,
00:12:28we are working on resolutions
00:12:29to end this type of behavior.
00:12:36Hey, Mama.
00:12:37Hey.
00:12:38How you doing?
00:12:40I am tired.
00:12:43Been out here working double shifts
00:12:45and all I get in the mail
00:12:46is a stack of damn bills.
00:12:59Where you get that from?
00:13:01Selling water.
00:13:02I told you.
00:13:03It's a good hustle.
00:13:04A good hustle.
00:13:06You know what I'm saying.
00:13:10You don't have to do that.
00:13:12Yes, I do.
00:13:14I'm grown now.
00:13:15And I need to do my part.
00:13:17Oh, you're grown now.
00:13:19A couple little hairs on your face
00:13:21don't make you grown, boy.
00:13:23Oh, oh, you trying to play?
00:13:26I almost got a full mustache.
00:13:28Look.
00:13:30I see a little something.
00:13:32What you want for dinner?
00:13:34You don't have to cook anything.
00:13:36I'll make something.
00:13:37You gonna cook?
00:13:39Mm-mm.
00:13:40No child of mine is going to bed
00:13:41on top ramen and
00:13:43what's that you make, grilled cheese?
00:13:45You trying to say I can't cook?
00:13:47I didn't say that,
00:13:48but I said what I said.
00:13:52You like the food?
00:13:53Of course.
00:13:57You know, I've been thinking.
00:13:59I'm getting real worried
00:14:01about you selling that wood
00:14:02on them corners.
00:14:03I brought you out here
00:14:04from New York when you was a baby
00:14:06to provide you with a safer environment.
00:14:09Mom, look.
00:14:10There's no way I can make
00:14:11this kind of money.
00:14:12Unless, what, I get like
00:14:14an academic scholarship or something.
00:14:15Rich is super rare.
00:14:17I gotta stack my money up.
00:14:19I know that.
00:14:21But these corners are dangerous.
00:14:23You know I just read online
00:14:25about the little boy
00:14:26who got shot selling water?
00:14:28Well, there are a few
00:14:30bad seeds in the bunch.
00:14:31Boy, don't be trying
00:14:33to use my quotes against me.
00:14:35I promise you.
00:14:36I'll be safe.
00:14:38College is my only way out.
00:14:40It's our only way out.
00:14:42You gotta where?
00:14:44The trap.
00:14:44The trap?
00:14:46Does this...
00:14:47Does this look like
00:14:48the trap to you?
00:14:50Mom.
00:14:51You should see where I grew up.
00:14:52Mom, our house is nice,
00:14:53but there are drug dealers
00:14:54that live right next door.
00:14:56Boy, you've always been smart
00:14:58and ambitious
00:15:00and hard-headed,
00:15:02just like your father.
00:15:06I just wish he could see you.
00:15:11Mom, it would be so proud.
00:15:15My ambitions are different, though.
00:15:19Yeah, I know that.
00:15:31Excuse me.
00:15:36Excuse me.
00:16:00My father was murdered in the streets
00:16:02when I was young.
00:16:03Mom, I never really dealt
00:16:04with his death.
00:16:06The black community
00:16:07doesn't believe in therapy.
00:16:10I'm sure I needed it.
00:16:12My way of dealing with it
00:16:13was not talking about it,
00:16:14which can't be healthy.
00:16:24Mom, I never really dealt with it.
00:16:30God's superpowers
00:16:31haven't sent,
00:16:31haven't sent.
00:16:32It's because of my melanin.
00:16:34My melanin.
00:16:35I'm better than I've ever been.
00:16:37Ever been.
00:16:38It's because of my melanin.
00:16:39My melanin.
00:16:40God's superpowers
00:16:41haven't sent,
00:16:42haven't sent.
00:16:43It's because I'm Melody
00:16:45The black and the berry
00:16:46Yeah, we live in this sweet life
00:16:47Not afraid to roll the dice
00:16:49To make the power moves
00:16:50In spite of the haters that want to dim my light
00:16:52That's why we hold each other down
00:16:54Stick tight when there's a fight
00:16:55We keep our feet on solid ground
00:16:57You never drown when the homies are round
00:16:58Cause we kings and queens, we fix each other's crown
00:17:00When you shatter man, we make you laugh
00:17:03Turn that crown upside down
00:17:04Give you a hug and a pound
00:17:06We fan
00:17:07Only my real ones understand
00:17:08My day ones, my dogs about to master plan
00:17:11Creativity and talent is the perfect marriage
00:17:14You can't destroy the friendship and the bond we establish
00:17:17The key to living lavish is the goddess of the planet
00:17:20Is that black girl magic giving us black boy joy
00:17:22We so charismatic, ecstatic, enthusiastic
00:17:25We live a blessed life, we gotta have it
00:17:28I'm better than I ever been
00:17:31It's because of my melanin
00:17:34Got superpowers, heaven sent

00:18:14Police are currently on a citywide manhunt
00:18:17For a water boy
00:18:18Who carjacked a woman on the west side of Atlanta earlier today
00:18:21This is a

00:32:41We ain't got no choice.
00:32:45Yeah, but y'all know how them fools be acting though.
00:32:48That's exactly why we need to get home.
00:32:50No, no, no.
00:32:51Black on black crime is not the answer, my sister.
00:32:54Let's get back to work.
00:32:55Nigga.
00:32:56Another M-A-L-K.
00:32:57I just want to make sure we make it home.
00:33:00Water!
00:33:01Water!
00:33:02Get your water!
00:33:22New day, same drama.

00:33:34What?
00:33:34We don't know you know bus down.
00:33:35This is our water.
00:33:37Nigga, this is our corner, ain't it?
00:33:38Since when, yo?
00:33:39Nigga, since now.
00:33:40What you talking about?
00:33:52And sister, there's no need for all this.
00:33:56Who are you?
00:33:58I'm Siku, and this is Brittany.
00:34:00We work for an organization called Yeah.
00:34:02We advocate for young men and women just like you.
00:34:05Okay.
00:34:06What y'all doing here?
00:34:07We came out here to talk to you guys.
00:34:10About what?
00:34:11We want to adopt this corner so that we can make this a safe environment for you all to operate.
00:34:19With all due respect, it's a jungle out here.
00:34:23That's why we keep distinct.
00:34:26Violence is not the answer, young brother.
00:34:28Organization is.
00:34:30So what do you suggest?
00:34:35How about you come to my office and I can explain it to you?
00:34:46We're going to hang out here and observe you guys on this corner, if you don't mind.
00:34:50That's on you.
00:34:52Come on.
00:34:53What's your name?
00:34:55Drew.
00:34:56Hopefully I'll be seeing you soon, Drew.
00:35:09I might.

00:36:05You're welcome.
00:36:08You nervous?
00:36:09Who? Me? Nah. Why would I be nervous?
00:36:15Mm, but it's cool. I think it's cute.
00:36:18You do?
00:36:19Mm-hmm.
00:36:20Well, in that case, I'm hella nervous, dude.
00:36:29You're different.
00:36:32How so?
00:36:35You're well-mannered, insightful.
00:36:40Somebody raised you, right?
00:36:43That would be my mother.
00:36:45Well, your mother obviously is amazing.
00:36:49She is.
00:36:51She's my best friend.
00:36:53Aw, that's sweet.
00:36:56What about your dad?
00:36:59He was murdered when I was young.
00:37:05I'm sorry.
00:37:08Yeah, it's been rough, but me and mom made it through.
00:37:19So, now that y'all out of school, what are your plans?
00:37:23Right now, I'm just hustling.
00:37:25Saving money to get a car so I can go to college.
00:37:28Hustling?
00:37:30I mean, I don't date hustlers.
00:37:32But not like that.

00:49:29trying to figure out a way to shut you guys down.
00:49:31Shut us down?
00:49:33For what?
00:49:34The violence that's been occurring between some of you has people alarmed.

00:55:04Today on the west side of Atlanta, police 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, what happened?

00:56:00And I can't buy a car, and I gotta pay for my way through college.
00:56:03With the minimum wage job?
00:56:07It's just too dangerous.
00:56:10Life is dangerous.
00:56:12If I'm gonna die, I'd rather die doing something with my life.

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.
01:00:11All right, now.
01:00:13Talk to you.
01:00:19In response to the recent violence surrounding Waterboys, the mayor has ordered a city-wide 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.
01:00:54If 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.
01:01:14What the fuck?
01:01:16Wait, hold on.
01:01:17Hold on.
01:01:18Hold 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?
01:01:52There is nothing else out here for us.
01:01:57Name it.
01:02:00Why you think they call it the truck?
01:02:04Once you know.
01:02:06I ain't no eye.
01:02:08I would think the police would muck right outside of selling water and kicking in for a door.
01:02:16Look, 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.
01:02:29I don't know if I'm 12 have better shit to worry about.
01:02:33Like all the violence in the city.
01:02:35It's Atlanta.
01:02:38I promise you, these little incidents with us, that ain't nothing compared to what's really going on out here.
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.
01:02:54Therefore, assertive people.
01:03:00Assertive people, huh?
01:03:04What people?
01:03:06Where these people from?
01:03:08What do these people look like?
01:03:12Because it sure enough don't feel like he'll serve us.
01:03:16Listen, I have a teenage nephew.
01:03:19So I understand what you guys are up against.
01:03:21You are too smart and vicious, young man.
01:03:25So I'm sure y'all figure something out.
01:03:32Think about what I said, all right?
01:03:36Be careful.
01:03:51We didn't have no choice but to keep selling water.
01:03:55We just had to find another corner to stand on.
01:04:10Hey, see, I told you we would be straight.
01:04:14I guess you're all right.
01:04:16Ain't no competition out here.
01:04:17And business is booming.
01:04:19Y'all got to listen to your boys sometime.
01:04:21Well, what up?
01:04:23Oh.
01:04:31What the fuck?
01:04:33Griff 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?
01:04:40Rolling hard, son.
01:04:42Oh, look.
01:04:43I got you.
01:04:44I got you for sure.
01:04:46Oh.
01:04:48Oh.
01:04:49Oh.
01:04:50It's your son tonight.
01:04:54Griff don't need your money.
01:04:56It's my corner.
01:04:57Griff want my corner, baby.
01:04:59Your corner?
01:05:00Boy, you homeless.
01:05:02He ain't got no corner.
01:05:03Yeah?
01:05:05I am Atlanta.
01:05:06Matter of fact, it's money there.
01:05:10Give me all your goddamn...
01:05:11Hey, whoa!
01:05:12Calm down.
01:05:12We ain't got to do this.
01:05:14Boy, we ain't giving you shit.
01:05:16Matter of fact, back your stupid ass up.
01:05:19Boy, I popped your ass out here.
01:05:21Yeah.
01:05:23Griff don't want me, bro.
01:05:24Yeah.
01:05:25I know you don't.
01:05:27So beat it then, nigga.
01:05:33Go on.
01:05:38Boy, I told you I don't need that straw.
01:05:41Where the fuck did you get that?
01:05:43Where about it?
01:05:44We do not need a gun out here.
01:05:46Like hell.
01:05:48You got to 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 go find my own block to stand on.
01:06:08Who?
01:06:12You know, I can't believe you actin' like a bitch
01:06:16when I just say that.
01:06:20Yo.

01:10:48Transcription by CastingWords
01:11:13I never felt so much rage in my life. I 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.
01:11:50Oh, whoa, whoa. What are you doing?
01:11:58What happened?
01:12:00They killed Dolo.
01:12:02Who?
01:12:03Lazoo. The dude who showed up to the party?
01:12:07I see, I see.
01:12:10And what do you plan on doing with that?
01:12:16Baby, 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.
01:13:08Yeah, he's gone.
01:13:10Oh, no, I don't.
01:13:11I know.
01:13:17I'm sorry.
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.
01:14:09And 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.
01:14:49Now, 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, cast down, but not destroyed, there are times I don't understand.
01:15:50But I believe it's turning around for me.
01:16:15But I believe it's turning around for me.
01:16:20Let me down, let me down, but I still believe it's turning around for me.
01:16:33Around for me.
01:16:37Around for me.
01:16:41Around for me.
01:16:44It's turning around for me.
01:16:49Around for me.
01:16:52Can you just say it into the atmosphere?
01:16:57Around for me
01:17:00It's turning around
01:17:01It's turning around for me
01:17:04God is making a way
01:17:08The change is coming the day
01:17:12God is making a way
01:17:16The change is coming for me
01:17:20If I stay strong
01:17:21If I stay strong
01:17:23And deeply

01:22:41I passed my driver's test
01:22:47I was a standout employee at Mr. Williams' company
01:23:00Not too long after that, the police arrested Lil' Zoo for Dolo's murder
01:23:12I took Charles Williams' advice and applied to a local college
01:23:16Tomika decided to stay in Atlanta, and 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
01:23:42As you can see, we are here near a local college campus
