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.
00:00:35See, that's two young brothers' lives lost.
00:00:39Let me grab that cooler.

00:01:45Savages.
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.
00:01:54Once I get my degree in graphic design, I'm going to start my own company.
00:01:58Become an entrepreneur?
00:02:00Hell, I might even make it on the cover of Black Enterprise one day.

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, 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.

00:22:44Rome wasn't built in a day, and I myself started off in the stock room, man.
00:22:50You know.
00:22:52Look at me now.
00:23:00He offered me the job.
00:23:02Oh, really?
00:23:03Yeah.
00:23:04Minimum wage, though.
00:23:05In the stock room.
00:23:06Part-time?
00:23:08$150 a week?
00:23:10I can make that in a couple hours selling water.
00:23:12You dig what I'm saying?
00:23:23As opposed to making $30 a day, sweating it in the stock room at Walmart, I chose to stick
00:23:28to selling water.

00:55:13between two rival groups of water boys.
00:55:17That's when shots rang out.
00:55:19The entire scene was captured on cell phone's page.
00:55:22Citizens continue to pressure the mayor's office
00:55:25to take action.
00:55:27More on the story at 11.
00:55:46Oh my God, what happened, what happened, I don't want to talk about it.

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
00:55:59without no degree.
00:56:00And I can't buy a car,
00:56:01and 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,
00:56:12I'd rather die doing something with my life.
00:56:26Deep down inside, I knew she was right.

00:57:39Let me go.
00:58:16Oh, it's crazy, man.
00:58:17I grew up in the projects a mile and a half away from here.
00:58:19Now this is what I see.
00:58:23So what's going on in your world right now?
00:58:28Things could be better.
00:58:30Why you say that?
00:58:32These corners are getting dangerous, man.
00:58:37It's like we starting to deal with the same type of drama
00:58:39we would have if we were selling drugs.
00:58:41Yeah, I heard about that shooting on the news.
00:58:44Yeah, that was me.
00:58:46Doing the shooting?
00:58:47No, no.
00:58:48Getting shot at.
00:58:50Drew, 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
00:58:58so I can enroll in college.
00:59:00What you want to study?
00:59:02Graphic design.
00:59:02So you draw?
00:59:03Yeah.
00:59:05You 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.
00:59:11Um, no, but look at some of the stuff I've done on my phone.
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,
00:59:31but a lot of the kids are going home for the summer.
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,
00:59:49just 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.
01:00:11You're right now.
01:00:13Talk to you.
01:00:19In response to the recent violence surrounding Waterboys,
01:00:23the 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.
01:00:54If they do not have a vendor's license or behave accordingly,
01:00:59they will not be allowed to sell waters on these corners.
01:01:12We didn't even do nothing to you, brother.
01:01:15What 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.
01:02:00Oh, you think they call it the truck?
01:02:04Once you know,
01:02:06there ain't no eye.
01:02:08I would think the poor little monk right here beside the ceiling wall
01:02:12and kicking in four doors.
01:02:15Look,
01:02:16I totally understand that.
01:02:19But with all the drama surrounding the Waterboys,
01:02:22it's going to be nearly impossible for y'all to continue to operate.
01:02:25At least within Atlanta city limits.
01:02:28Mm-hmm.
01:02:29I don't know 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,
01:02:39these little incidents with us,
01:02:40that 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
01:02:47start flooding the mayor's office with complaints,
01:02:50he has to do something.
01:02:52He's a publicly elected official.
01:02:55Therefore,
01:02:56it's about certain people.
01:03:00I'm sure you're the people, huh?
01:03:04What people?
01:03:06Where are 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,
01:03:17I have a teenage nephew.
01:03:19So I understand what you guys are up against.
01:03:21You are too smart,
01:03:23ambitious 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,
01:04:11I 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 the hell?
01:04:30What the fuck?
01:04:32What 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?
01:04:40I want a hard song.
01:04:42Oh, look.
01:04:43I got you.
01:04:44I got you for sure.
01:04:49Why you said something 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.
01:05:02You ain't got no corner.
01:05:03Yeah?
01:05:05I am, Atlanta.
01:05:06Matter of fact,
01:05:08it's money, baby.
01:05:10Give me all your goddamn...
01:05:11Hey, whoa, calm down.
01:05:13We ain't got to do this.
01:05:14Boy, we ain't giving you shit.
01:05:17Matter of fact,
01:05:17back your stupid ass up
01:05:19while pop your ass out here.
01:05:21Yeah.
01:05:23Griff don't want to, Brianna.
01:05:25Yeah, I know you don't.
01:05:27So beat it then, nigga.
01:05:33Go home.
01:05:37Yeah.
01:05:38Boy, I told y'all
01:05:39we 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 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.
01:05:55Hmm.
01:06:01Fine.
01:06:04Now I ain't gonna find my own block to stand on.
01:06:08Who?
01:06:13You know,
01:06:14I can't believe you acting like a bitch

01:06:32And for what?

01:10:16Somebody get out!
01:10:17Get out!
01:10:18Don't go!
01:10:18Don't go!
01:10:19Don't go!
01:10:19I'll sleep!
01:10:20Keep breathing, bro.
01:10:21Don't move it.
01:10:22Don't go!
01:10:23No, no, no, no!
01:11:13I never felt so much rage in my life. I want it blurred.
01:11:40Baby, you home? I had to work late so it's no dinner, but we could order something.
01:11:50Whoa, whoa, whoa! What are you doing? What happened?
01:12:00They killed Dolo.
01:12:02Who?
01:12:03Let's do. The dude who showed up to the party?
01:12:07I see, I see. And what do you plan on doing with that?
01:12:16Baby, no. Killing somebody is not gonna bring your friend back. It's only gonna cause another black woman to grieve.
01:12:26Baby, I know that you're hurt. And you have every right to be. But 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. Now just calm down. Let me take the gun and let's talk
01:12:54about this. Let's just talk about it. It's gonna be all right. So sorry.
01:13:06He's gone.
01:13:09He's gone.
01:13:09Yeah, yeah, he's gone. Oh, I know. I know.
01:13:30It's a sad day for our city, our community, our church.
01:13:39Our church and our family.
01:13:45But you must remember that you are not alone.
01:13:53And Matthew 11 to 28 says,
01:13:58Come to me.
01:14:00Come to me.
01:14:01All 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.
01:14:21Let 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.
01:15:17I just want to let you know that it won't always be like this.
01:15:20It's turning around for you.
01:15:27Sometimes discouraged, but not defeated.
01:15:36Cast down, but not destroyed.
01:15:44There are times I don't understand.
01:15:50But I believe it's turning around for me.
01:16:00I've had trouble and disappointment.
01:16:09There turned up, felt so alone.
01:16:16Some of my friends, they let me down.
01:16:25But I still believe it's turning around for me.
01:16:32Around 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.
01:16:51Can you just say it into the atmosphere?
01:16:57Around for me.
01:17:00It's turning around.
01:17:02It's turning around for me.
01:17:05God is making a way.
01:17:09A change is coming up day.
01:17:13God is making a way.
01:17:17A change is coming for me.
01:17:20If I stay strong.
01:17:21If I stay strong and deeply.
01:17:24There's no reason to doubt.
01:17:26There's no reason to doubt.
01:17:28I'm only one.
01:17:29I'm only one.
01:17:31I'm only one.
01:17:32I'm only one.
01:17:34I'm only one.
01:17:44I'm only one.
01:17:45My bad about your loss.
01:17:49Damn, he was a good little dude.
01:17:52You know this gun violence?
01:17:54You gotta stop between us, bro.
01:17:56Drew, no, no, no.
01:17:57Drew, no, no.
01:17:59Brothers!
01:18:00Chill out, chill out, chill out.
01:18:01Don't you have to pay all 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.
01:18:34I'm gonna keep on selling water.
01:18:39Baby, you don't have to make that decision right now.
01:18:44I do.
01:18:45I 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.
01:19:12Well, just promise me one thing, then.
01:19:15That you'll let me know where you're at at all times.
01:19:23I will.
01:19:26And most importantly,
01:19:31promise me that you'll always make it home safe.
01:19:35I promise.
01:19:38Okay.
01:20:08That day,
01:20:10I 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.
01:20:22Get a couple of bottles of water off you, young fella.
01:20:28Hey, Mr. Woods.
01:20:29How you find me here?
01:20:31Your address was on the application.
01:20:33Your mother told me I might find you here.
01:20:36Figured.
01:20:37Why don't you jump in the car, man?
01:20:39We got some lunch.
01:20:43You got some real good news you might want to hear.
01:20:53Heard about your friend, Drew.
01:20:55Man, I'm sorry for your loss.
01:20:58Thanks.
01:20:58How you been holding up?
01:21:00It's been rough, but I've been making it through.
01:21:05Yeah, I'm sure.
01:21:06But look, I didn't come to talk about that.
01:21:09I actually came to give you some good news.
01:21:11Oh, yeah? What is it?
01:21:13A summer internship opened up my office.
01:21:16Really?
01:21:17Yeah, and it's a paid position.
01:21:19You've been working in the graphics department.
01:21:21Are you serious?
01:21:22Does it look like I'm joking?
01:21:24Nah.
01:21:25Thank you so much, Mr. Williams.
01:21:27That's no problem.
01:21:29You're welcome.
01:21:31You know, man, you remind me so much of myself when I was your age.
01:21:36Single mother, big dreams, very, very little resources.
01:21:40But I found my way.
01:21:42And I never took no for an answer.
01:21:44You got that same spirit.
01:21:47Appreciate it.
01:21:49And I got another surprise for you, so finish on up, we can go back to my office.
01:22:04So, me and a few of my business partners, we got together, pitched in, got you a car.
01:22:14Hey, for me?
01:22:16Yeah, for you.
01:22:16Look, it's not a Maserati, all right?
01:22:18But it'll get you from work to home every day.
01:22:22Mr. Williams, Charles, how will I ever repay you for this?
01:22:25You'll repay me by being good yourself.
01:22:27I got you.
01:22:28Yeah, yeah.
01:22:29Where the keys?
01:22:31Yeah, get your license first, all right?
01:22:32Then I'll give you the keys.
01:22:34Come on, let me show you the car real quick, man.
01:22:35I got it, easy.
01:22:36Just like that, everything changed for me.
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.
01:23:13I took Charles Williams' advice and applied to a local college.
01:23:17Tameka decided to stay in Atlanta and got accepted to the same college.
01:23:35Despite the continued violent incidents amongst Atlanta's water boys, they are still in business with no end in sight.
01:23:42As you can see, we are here near a local college campus with a catapult rock.
01:23:49First day of class, how you feel?
01:23:52I mean, this is the moment I've been waiting for my entire life.
01:23:56I'm happy for you.
01:23:59What about you, Miss Valedictorian?
01:24:00Well, you know.
