The streets are also where people in Jamal's neighborhood and in his line of work die. Hey, ain't nobody gonna live forever. I gots to get mine while I can. A D.C. police car drives by. Jamal ignores them.
Cops are a joke.
They sit on their fat asses and drive their cars. They afraid to get out of their cars 'cause they might get hurt. Once Jamal thought about making it in basketball. He was pretty good, but a rival gang member with a baseball stopped that. Knee ain't worked right since.
