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.

00:01:37Birthplace of the MLK, creator of the Civil Rights Movement.

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.

00:04:53See, it's not only water we're selling, we're offering people an opportunity to support the

00:05:51I'm just out here selling water.
00:05:53Oh, brother, you're not just selling water.
00:05:55You're running your business.
00:05:56This $60 is an investment in your future business.
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!
00:07:39Let's go, water!
00:07:51Let's go, water!

00:08:49Can't we got that fire on us?
00:08:51Mm-hmm.
00:08:52This 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.
00:09:23It's 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 the zoo.
00:09:29See what I'm saying?
00:09:31I need to end on that, too.
00:09:45Hey, y'all.
00:09:47Woo!
00:09:50Let's do it.

00:10:02Especially now that you and Miss Officer.
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?
00:10:24Good, sweetie?
00:10:25Yeah.
00:10:26Yeah, I'm good.
00:10:30Y'all be safe around here.
00:10:32Sure.
00:10:32Wow.
00:10:36Come on.
00:10:36Let's get back to work.
00:10:38Don't forget about our date.
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, my brother shit.
00:10:57Man, go on without it.
00:10:58Y'all, I think don't go right, though.
00:11:00No, we do need some protection on him.
00:11:02No, we don't.
00:11:04When you have a gun, it creates gun problems.
00:11:06And?
00:11:07Look, 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 regarding the out-of-control street vendors
00:11:40called the Waterboys.
00:11:42You may have seen them on your local street corner selling ice-cold beverages, but some
00:11:47say they have a much more sinister motive.
00:11:50You may also recall that 17-year-old Christopher Hearns was slain over a minor dispute with
00:11:56a fellow water boy.
00:11:57Here's what Mayor Thomas had to say.
00:12:01Now, we are all four young people embracing the entrepreneurial spirit.
00:12:07However, what will not be tolerated is the mob-like mentality some young men have displayed.
00:12:17There have been assaults, car thefts, and unfortunately, a teenager was killed.
00:12:26Now, my office and I, we are working on resolutions to 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, and all I get in the mail is 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, and I need to do my part.
00:13:17Oh, you grown now?
00:13:19A couple little hairs on your face don'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.
00:13:38You gonna cook?
00:13:39Mm-mm.
00:13:40No child of mine is going to bed on top ramen and what's that you make, grilled cheese?
00:13:45Are you trying to say I can't cook?
00:13:47I didn't say that, but I said what I said.
00:13:52You like the food?
00:13:54You like the food?
00:13:54Of course.
00:13:57You know, I've been thinking.
00:13:59I'm getting real worried about you selling that wood on them corners.
00:14:03I brought you out here from New York when you was a baby to provide you with a safer environment.
00:14:09Mom, look, there's no way I can make this kind of money unless, what, I get like an academic scholarship
00:14:15or something.
00:14:16Rich is super rare.
00:14:17I gotta stack my money up.
00:14:19I know that, but these corners are dangerous.
00:14:23You know, I just read online about the little boy who got shot selling water.
00:14:28Well, there are a few bad seeds in the bunch.
00:14:31Boy, don't be trying to use my quotes against me.
00:14:35I promise you, I'll be safe.
00:14:38College is my only way out.
00:14:41It's our only way out.
00:14:42You gotta where?
00:14:44The trap.
00:14:45The trap?
00:14:46Does this, does this look like the trap to you?
00:14:50Mom.
00:14:51You should see where I grew up.
00:14:52Mom, our house is nice, but there are drug dealers that live right next door.
00:14:56Boy, you've always been smart and ambitious and hard-headed, just like your father.
00:15:06I just wish he could see you.
00:15:11He would be so proud.
00:15:15My ambitions are different, though.
00:15:19Yeah, I know that.
00:15:32Excuse me.
00:16:00My father was murdered in the streets when I was young.
00:16:03I never really dealt with his death.
00:16:06The black community doesn't believe in therapy.
00:16:10I'm sure I needed it.
00:16:12My way of dealing with it was not talking about it, which can't be healthy.
00:16:16The black community doesn't believe in therapy.
00:16:24I don't think there's random people.
00:16:25I'm more nervous than I am.
00:16:26I am more mature than me anyway.
00:16:27It's because I'm a melanin.
00:16:30It's because I'm a melanin.
00:16:35I'm better than I've ever been
00:16:38It's because of my melanin
00:16:40God's superpowers heaven sent
00:16:43It's because of my melanin
00:16:45The black and the berry
00:16:46We live in this sweet life
00:16:47Not afraid to roll the dice
00:16:49To make the power move
00:16:50Despite 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
00:16:59We fix each other's crown
00:17:00When you sat a man
00:17:02We make you laugh
00:17:03Turn that crown upside
00:17:04They'll give you a hug and a pound
00:17:06We fan
00:17:06Only my real ones understand
00:17:08My day ones

00:17:14You can't destroy the friendship
00:17:15And the bond we establish
00:17:17The key to living lavish

00:18:14Police are currently on a citywide manhunt
00:18:17For a water boy
00:18:18Who carjacked a woman
00:18:19On the west side of Atlanta

00:20:23Fear and faith can't occupy the same space
00:20:26Yes, but
00:20:28That doesn't mean you intentionally go put yourself in harm's way
00:20:31Them corners is dangerous
00:20:35I'll be alright
00:20:40Will you just humor me
00:20:42And try to get a job doing something else?

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.
00:59:38Mm-hmm.
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
00:59:51around 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.
00:59:58But please, make me one promise, Drew.
01:00:02Promise me you're gonna be safe on these streets, brother.
01:00:05I 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 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,
01:00:42terrorizing our street corners.
01:00:44Therefore, I have called an immediate crackdown
01:00:48on the so-called Waterboys.
01:00:55If they do not have a vendor's license or behave accordingly,
01:01:00they will not be allowed to sell waters on these corners.
01:01:12We didn't even do nothing.
01:01:14Chill.
01:01:16Wait, hold on.
01:01:17Hold on.
01:01:19Hold on.
01:01:20I know these kids.
01:01:22I'm gonna give them a ride home and give them a nice stern talking to.
01:01:38Get in.
01:01:43You guys gonna 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?
01:02:04What you know?
01:02:06I ain't know I.
01:02:08I would think the police would muck right outside selling water and kicking in four doors.
01:02:16Look, I totally understand that.
01:02:19But with all the drama surrounding the Waterboys, it's gonna be nearly impossible for y'all to continue to operate.
01:02:25At least within Atlanta city limits.
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.
01:02:38I promise you, these little incidents with us, that ain't nothing compared to what's really going on out here.
01:02:43I don't know.
01:02:44This is true.
01:02:45But once members of the community start flooding the mayor's office with complaints,
01:02:50he has to do something.
01:02:52He's a publicly elected official.
01:02:54Therefore, assertive people.
01:03:00Try 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 he sure enough don't feel like he here to 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, ambitious 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.
01:04:08Good H2O! Get your water!
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, and 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.
01:04:43Ain't got you.
01:04:44Ain't got you for sure.
01:04:49Why'd you say a Sunday night?
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.
01:05:04Yeah, 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 got to do this.
01:05:14But we ain't giving you shit.
01:05:16Matter of fact, back your stupid ass up.
01:05:19I popped your ass out here.
01:05:21Yeah.
01:05:23You gift that one of them, Briarley.
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 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 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.
01:06:01No.
01:06:04Now I go find my own block to stand on.
01:06:08Who?
01:06:12No.
01:06:14I can't believe you acting like a bitch.
01:06:16When I just say that.
01:06:19Yo.
01:06:23Me.
01:06:27Always saving you.
01:06:33And for what?
01:06:38Y'all feel the same way?
01:06:41No.
01:06:42I'm gonna feel.
01:06:45My dog.
01:06:48And let's see how I make some money without your black.
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!
01:07:04Get your good H2O.
01:07:06Water.
01:07:06Get your good water!
01:07:30That night,
01:07:32I couldn't stop thinking about what happened between me and Dolo.
01:08:04It's like a nightmare.
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 them I was going to get my own corner stand on,
01:08:36bet they never thought it'd be cross the street.
01:08:42Water.
01:08:48Water.
01:08:58What's happening?
01:09:01You see that same little nigga from the party the other night, ain't it?
01:09:06Ain't this little buddy from the party that was talking that shit?
01:09:09Mm-hmm.
01:09:11You eat 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.
01:09:30Mm-hmm.
01:09:32Hell nah.
01:09:33Say what?
01:09:47Back up.
01:09:48Get your little ass back, baby.
01:09:49Next.
01:09:51Told you to get me a water, little nigga.
01:09:54Fuck!
01:10:14Keep breathing, bro.
01:10:16Somebody get out!
01:10:17Get out!
01:10:18Don't go!
01:10:20Keep breathing, bro.
01:10:22Get out!
01:10:28Keep breathing, bro.
01:10:42Keep breathing, bro.
01:10:46Get out!
01:10:47Get out!
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.
01:11:51Whoa, whoa, whoa!
01:11:54What are you doing?
01:11:58What happened?
01:12:00They killed Dolo!
01:12:02Who?
01:12:03Lazoo!
01:12:04The 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 and 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.
01:13:30It's a sad day for our city, our community.
01:13:38Our 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 and the burden that I give to you is light.
01:14:47Amen.
01:14:48Amen.
01:14:49Amen.
01:14:50Amen.
01:14:50Now, Brother Vashon Mitchell is going to sing a wonderful hymn for you guys.
01:14:55And 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, cast down, but not destroyed, there are times I don't understand.
01:15:50But I believe it's turning around for me.
01:16:00I've had trouble and disappointment.
01:16:08Their times I felt so alone.
01:16:16Some of my friends, they let me down, but I still believe it's turning around for me.
01:16:33Around for me.
01:16:36Around for me.
01:16:41Around for me.
01:16:45Around for me.
01:16:46Around for me.
01:16:49Around for me.
01:16:52Around for me.
01:16:57It's turning around for me.
01:16:58Around for me.
01:17:00It's turning around for me.
01:17:01It's turning around for me
01:17:04God is making a way
01:17:08A change is coming up day
01:17:12God is making a way
01:17:16A change is coming for me
01:17:20If I stay strong
01:17:21If I stand strong and believe
01:17:24There's no reason to doubt me
01:17:28I'm the oldest one
01:17:45My bad about your loss
01:17:49Damn, you 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
01:17:58Brothers
01:18:00Chill out, chill out, chill out
01:18:01Don't you have to pay my respects
01:18:02Get off me, bro
01:18:04Not in the house of the Lord
01:18:05Just sit down
01:18:32I'm gonna keep on selling water
01:18:39Baby
01:18:40You 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
01:18:51Luzoo 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
01:19:17At all times
01:19:23I will
01:19:25And most importantly
01:19:30Promise me that
01:19:33You'll always make it home safe
01:19:36I promise
01:19:39Okay
01:20:07That day
01:20:10I lost my best friend
01:20:11In 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'd 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
01:20:53You heard 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
01:21:02I've been making it through
01:21:04Yeah, I'm sure
01:21:06But look, I didn't come to talk about that
01:21:09I actually can't give you some good news
01:21:11Oh, yeah?

01:21:19You'll be working in the graphics department
01:21:21Are you serious?

01:21:27That's no problem
01:21:28You're welcome

01:21:34When I was your age
01:21:36Single mother, big dreams
01:21:38Very, 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

01:22:41I passed my driver's test
01:22:47I was a standout employee
01:22:49At Mr. Williams' company
01:23:00Not too long after that
01:23:01The police arrested Lil' Zoo
01:23:03For Dolo's murder
01:23:12I took Charles Williams' advice
01:23:15And applied to a local college
01:23:16Tomika decided to stay in Atlanta
01:23:18And got accepted to the same college
01:23:34Despite the continued violent incidents
01:23:37Amongst Atlanta's water boys
01:23:39They are still in business
01:23:41With no end in sight
01:23:42As you can see
