• Sweet Pea : Dear Lord, Please forgive us for all the sins we have brought upon us. And look down upon us with forgiveness for the the sins we will have in the future. I know you understand that niggas ain't perfect, but we try lord. We try to keep our heads up in bad times. This is a bad time, show us the way. And if you can't show us the way, then forgive us for being lost.

• Sweet Pea : I don't wanna reach the gates and Jesus be like: "Turn yo ass around nigga."

• Sweet Pea : Want me to take him out?

  Jody : Nah. Let the nigga breathe. He make my momma unhappy, we will make his ass bleed. On the real. Make him feel the steel. Long as she happy, he got his life. Won't be no strife. And I hope his ass hear me, too.

  Melvin : I hear you. You know the problem with you little niggas? You think you know everything about the world, but you don't know shit.

• Sweet Pea : I'm not going to use the b-word. I just call y'all unstable creatures.

• Jody : Today I begin a new life. I am the master of my abilities... and today will be a great and beautiful day. Pea, are you a buyer or a seller?Wh

  Sweet Pea : What?

  Jody : Look at yourself. How many millionaires you got on? I count at least three.

  Sweet Pea : What are you talking about?

  Jody : Pea! Look around, man. You see what I see? I see money. Look at my man over there selling T-shirts. A brother selling pies and papers. Cake Man over there.Everybody moving, making money. Right? While we're standing still, being broke. I figured all this shit out, man. All this. This world moves forward through transactions. Commerce, nigga. The exchange of goods and services. All the real ballin', successful folks are sellers. All the broke-ass people playing catch-up are buyers. I ain't trying to go out like that. I'm gonna be a seller. I'm gonna get my own business. Change the game.

• Sweet Pea : I got to ask my woman, and her mama for money! How you think I feel huh? You think I feel like a man? This shit is tearing me up, cuz. It's eating me alive.

• Jody : Hit Mr. Alize there. He tried to take my liquor. Do him first.

  Sweet Pea : You got to get up close. You kind of draw back. Not too far, though. Aim for the nose or mouth. Prefaly the nose, it's soft.

  Jody : Prefaly huh?

  Sweet Pea : Nigga, you know what I mean.
