00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:26.358
I’ve seen this brother driving
a big pretty Cadillac one day.

00:01:26.720 --> 00:01:29.278
That's all it took.
I said, I want to do that.

00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:32.558
Where did he get that Cadillac?
How did he get that Cadillac?

00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:36.918
And he was dressed nice.
You know, his name was Fletcher Sawyer.

00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:40.918
I’ve seen Fletcher one day
driving down Oakwood in Detroit.

00:01:41.320 --> 00:01:44.798
And he had one of
the prettiest girls in his car.

00:01:45.520 --> 00:01:49.398
Ted, I've been driving
Cadillacs ever since, baby.

00:01:54.600 --> 00:01:55.918
Yes sir...

00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:58.518
My name is Larry Webster.

00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.438
I'm from Detroit, Michigan.

00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:04.838
I've been
in the hair field for 52 years.

00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:09.318
Me and my partner, Robert Davis,

00:02:09.480 --> 00:02:13.278
have been running the shop
for almost 32 years.

00:02:18.440 --> 00:02:20.358
I've never had anything
but a Cadillac.

00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:21.758
That's the only car I'll buy.

00:02:21.920 --> 00:02:24.358
I saw a '73 on Grashed,
when I was coming in.

00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:25.998
It was partly blue and white.

00:02:26.321 --> 00:02:29.925
Somebody took the hood off.
I guess they were doing some work on it.

00:02:32.040 --> 00:02:34.798
That's the last big motor
they put in that car.

00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:36.358
A 472.

00:02:45.720 --> 00:02:47.398
I started when I was 12 years old.

00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:49.838
I just started hustling
in the neighbourhood,

00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:51.878
doing everybody's hair.

00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:56.158
It really started down South for blacks.

00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:59.598
We couldn't go to barber shops,
there were no black barber shops.

00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:03.078
So, we had to make up chemicals
for ourselves.

00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:06.038
Like lye and potatoes.

00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:10.758
It would burn your scalp off,
but it'll straighten your hair.

00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:14.438
Then we started designing
with waves in it.

00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:17.758
It became a hell of a business.

00:03:37.720 --> 00:03:38.958
It's a 'man thing' .

00:03:39.600 --> 00:03:43.358
Hair and shoes have always been
a 'man thing' to us.

00:03:43.920 --> 00:03:47.958
I like shoes so much.

00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:51.278
All the guys
who wear shoes like me,

00:03:51.760 --> 00:03:53.518
I shine them for them.

00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:59.838
All of my friends in the barber shop...
most of them wear alligator shoes.

00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:08.078
We try to put on

00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:12.238
our goods and come to the barber shop
because it's the place to be.

00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:22.918
I always feel like I appreciate
these people coming to me

00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:25.038
to let me do their hair.

00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:30.038
I feel like I'm beholden to them.
So I always try to treat them right.

00:04:31.200 --> 00:04:34.998
They took care of me all my life.
I've never done nothing else but hair.

00:04:35.200 --> 00:04:37.078
Yeah, you've been doing it many years.

00:04:37.960 --> 00:04:39.638
What are you 84? 85?

00:04:39.840 --> 00:04:41.638
I'll be 85 next month.

00:04:42.320 --> 00:04:46.198
I turned 72
on the twenty-eight of this month.

00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:48.318
I was young
when I started doing your hair.

00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:50.638
You were real young.

00:04:51.321 --> 00:04:53.698
I had to stand on a Pepsi-Cola box
to get above you.

00:04:57.840 --> 00:05:00.558
Rob, can you see Jerome?

00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:03.158
Tell Jerome to come here.

00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:06.838
Bye-bye. See you later, okay.
Thank you!

00:05:07.080 --> 00:05:09.118
See you next time.
Happy holidays!

00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:13.918
I like it to be pumped.
I think Leroy wears it...

00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.038
You wear pumped, don't you Leroy?

00:05:16.320 --> 00:05:19.398
You wear a pump, don't you?
You see, I like the full pump.

00:05:20.320 --> 00:05:22.878
Sometimes Ted asks me:
'How high do you wanna go?'

00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:25.478
I say: 'Take it to the sky.
The sky's the limit!'

00:05:25.840 --> 00:05:28.158
I guess I'm still stuck in the sixties.

00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:36.078
Sometimes I get myself
into trouble

00:05:36.280 --> 00:05:38.438
because I look
at a lot of women's asses.

00:05:38.640 --> 00:05:42.798
What I'm looking at is that
pendulum bouboum, bouboum, bouboum.

00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:49.358
So to me, that is the Motown sound .

00:05:59.920 --> 00:06:04.678
Those were the good old days.
- Yeah, those were peaceful days.

00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:05.918
There was nobody...

00:06:06.080 --> 00:06:08.598
You didn't have to
look over your back so much.

00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:13.478
Everybody was working in those days.
There were jobs, an income, ...

00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:16.078
These days you have to watch everything.

00:06:18.640 --> 00:06:21.958
Years ago you could get drunk
and lay down on the sidewalk

00:06:22.280 --> 00:06:24.358
and nobody would take your money.
- Nobody bothered you.

00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:25.798
You lie out there now,

00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:28.518
your pants would be gone,
your shoes would be gone...

00:06:28.760 --> 00:06:32.798
They might kill you, if you ain't
got nothing for them to take.

00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:36.958
This is the baddest area in the city.

00:06:37.200 --> 00:06:38.958
In the United States they say...

00:06:41.960 --> 00:06:44.838
It's alright during the day
but at night it goes off the hook.

00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:48.078
You better to be careful during the day.
- During the day too.

00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:48.918
But at night,

00:06:49.080 --> 00:06:51.158
I wouldn't go into the side streets.

00:06:51.400 --> 00:06:54.598
I don't even go to restaurants
at night time.

00:06:57.040 --> 00:06:59.158
So I just get on to the house.

00:07:00.520 --> 00:07:04.918
Robert is my partner,
he's my friend, he's my brother.

00:07:05.880 --> 00:07:08.238
You can ask me a question,
he'll answer it.

00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:13.118
We have a bond
that nobody can tear apart.

00:07:25.081 --> 00:07:26.501
How are you doing?

00:07:29.880 --> 00:07:31.118
Life in Detroit is hard

00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:32.798
but if you know how to survive,

00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:35.038
it's not that hard.

00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:38.038
If you know how to be
a people person and be honest,

00:07:38.200 --> 00:07:40.118
you can live long
and survive out here.

00:07:40.400 --> 00:07:43.438
But if you want to be
an asshole and be selfish...

00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:46.078
You won't survive... at all!

00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:48.878
So I learnt how to be funny and caring.

00:07:49.760 --> 00:07:53.638
I learnt how to talk to people,
treat them right, talk nicely to them.

00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:56.718
If you don't,
you'll just be another statistic

00:07:56.920 --> 00:07:58.438
that won't live to see 21.

00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:02.038
But I made it past 21.
I'm about to be 22.

00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:05.998
I'm proud, I'm happy.
I've got brothers that ain't seen 18.

00:08:06.440 --> 00:08:08.598
I've got friends, they didn't
even see 14.

00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:11.438
But they lived their lifestyle.

00:08:14.320 --> 00:08:16.038
You take care of this.
- Oh, I take care of this baby.

00:08:16.200 --> 00:08:18.118
A motherfucker scratches her,
you'll whoop some ass.

00:08:18.320 --> 00:08:19.518
I would be too!

00:08:19.840 --> 00:08:21.038
That's right.

00:08:21.840 --> 00:08:23.558
I just flipped one over.
- You did?

00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:25.918
I flipped because my brakes went out.

00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:29.518
I was out there racing.
I was getting drunk.

00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:32.678
As soon as I parked at the liquor store
and burned the rubber,

00:08:32.920 --> 00:08:33.798
the brakes went out.

00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:36.398
I jumped the car, hit the tree
and flipped over.

00:08:36.561 --> 00:08:37.430
We don't drive slow.

00:08:37.638 --> 00:08:40.478
You slow stroll in a Cadillac,
when you've got a Vette motor.

00:08:40.640 --> 00:08:41.878
I'm not riding slow.

00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:44.038
You're a young man.
- Yeah, I'm 21.

00:08:44.280 --> 00:08:45.798
So you're gonna go fast.

00:08:46.160 --> 00:08:48.118
I've got a black 47 Fleetwood.

00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:51.638
All metal body with the steel
on the bottom, Whitewall tires, ...

00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:54.278
Why are you driving this
if you've got that?

00:08:54.520 --> 00:08:56.038
Let me buy this from you.

00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:58.918
I can't get rid of that baby.
That's my baby there.

00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:00.878
It sounds like it.

00:09:01.040 --> 00:09:03.238
I wipe on that,
just like it's my girl.

00:09:30.760 --> 00:09:34.238
This used to be
a beautiful neighbourhood.

00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:36.838
It breaks my heart.

00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:42.998
You can leave one block
of beautiful houses

00:09:43.520 --> 00:09:45.238
and go to a second block

00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:47.758
and it looks like someone threw a bomb.

00:09:50.920 --> 00:09:52.478
See the block here....

00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:55.878
Every house is gone, see.

00:10:02.400 --> 00:10:04.878
It wasn't our fault.

00:10:05.680 --> 00:10:07.478
It was the banks.

00:10:07.640 --> 00:10:09.518
The banks did it all.

00:10:10.640 --> 00:10:12.598
Trying to be greedy.

00:10:15.560 --> 00:10:21.398
They had talked homeowners,
who really couldn't afford a loan,

00:10:21.560 --> 00:10:24.398
into getting a second mortgage
on their homes.

00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:28.158
Then they gave them loans
with high interest rates.

00:10:29.040 --> 00:10:31.318
When it came to a hit,

00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:33.318
they had to go.

00:10:33.560 --> 00:10:35.358
You know, they put them out.

00:10:51.880 --> 00:10:53.878
What started it, was the riot.

00:10:54.040 --> 00:10:56.398
In '67 we had that big, old riot.

00:10:57.760 --> 00:11:00.878
We lost a lot
of property and businesses.

00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:03.158
We never came back from that.

00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:05.158
It was hard to come back.

00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:10.318
Nobody wanted to invest in the city,
because of the riot.

00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:16.638
The economy went down.
All the car manufacturers moved out.

00:11:18.280 --> 00:11:20.878
So, it became a real disaster.

00:11:23.640 --> 00:11:26.078
We were the only city

00:11:26.238 --> 00:11:30.878
in all of the United States
to go into bankruptcy.

00:11:45.280 --> 00:11:49.198
I worked on the line for 30 years,
when they were building the Mustang.

00:11:49.520 --> 00:11:54.158
The Mustang car is a tradition.

00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:56.558
I used to buy them, myself.

00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:59.678
I used to buy a Mustang every 2 years.

00:12:00.160 --> 00:12:02.158
The Mustang kept us in work.

00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:07.918
I made good money,
but that's a thing of the past now.

00:12:08.560 --> 00:12:11.918
Everything else: the housing market, ...

00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:15.398
People could no longer
purchase cars like they used to.

00:12:16.560 --> 00:12:18.118
We were the blessed generation.

00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:20.958
The generation that is coming along now...

00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:23.718
I didn't need an education
to be in Ford's.

00:12:24.761 --> 00:12:27.788
The kids today need a degree.

00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:32.558
Every job out there uses a computer.

00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:34.518
These are the changes.

00:12:34.680 --> 00:12:36.038
Times change.

00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:39.278
There are things that
you can't do anymore.

00:12:49.040 --> 00:12:50.758
My mother told me...
She said:

00:12:50.920 --> 00:12:53.598
'We're all we've got and if we don't
protect ourselves'

00:12:53.760 --> 00:12:56.318
'we're going to be an extinct race.'

00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:59.358
'If we keep on playing
with the people like we do.'

00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:01.638
It's just not the race.

00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:05.118
Caucasian, 100%
are half of them in there.

00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:12.198
No. No. In Jackson prison right now,
it is 95% black. Trust me.

00:13:12.560 --> 00:13:14.838
They'd lock up these young black boys,
like they're white...

00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:16.798
They're not being taught.
- Yes, OK, but...

00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:20.158
If no one teaches you to do
the right thing, what do you expect?

00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:22.118
Most of them,
nobody tells them anything.

00:13:22.400 --> 00:13:25.318
What about that stupid law?
We cannot whoop our kids.

00:13:25.640 --> 00:13:27.358
Whooping? We used to get beaten.

00:13:28.800 --> 00:13:31.558
You can't raise a black kid
like a white kid

00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:33.758
and expect him to do right.

00:13:34.201 --> 00:13:36.628
I don't tell my son
to go sit in the corner.

00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:38.838
Not mine...

00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:42.478
But if I would get that belt,
he would be a better person.

00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:45.718
In fact, today he is a better person.
- It worked for me.

00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:49.238
I couldn't imagine telling my son
to go sit in the corner.

00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:54.158
Time out! What the hell do you mean?
I'm gonna beat your ass!

00:13:55.960 --> 00:13:58.638
Everything those kids do is ugly!

00:13:58.920 --> 00:14:00.318
They walk ugly...

00:14:00.560 --> 00:14:02.718
They dress ugly.
- They listen to ugly music...

00:14:02.920 --> 00:14:07.478
They sit ugly, they drive ugly...
Everything they do is ugly!

00:14:08.280 --> 00:14:11.678
There's nobody around to tell them:
'Pull your pants up'

00:14:12.280 --> 00:14:13.998
'and cut off that ugly music!'

00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:28.838
Hey, hey!

00:14:32.640 --> 00:14:35.158
Let them go about their business.

00:14:37.520 --> 00:14:40.598
I'm more scared of the police
than of killers with guns.

00:14:40.920 --> 00:14:43.598
You never know
what can happen out here.

00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:47.438
You could just be talking reckless
to a cop and you can lose your life.

00:15:00.040 --> 00:15:03.518
My brother was shot
when he was 14 years old...

00:15:03.920 --> 00:15:04.678
By the police.

00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:08.038
All this shit you see on the news
about cops killing black kids

00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:10.198
and beating them up
or setting them up...

00:15:10.400 --> 00:15:12.318
Fuck the police!
Period.

00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:29.678
Mike was telling me that HW

00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:31.438
needs to act his age.

00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:35.358
Mike?
-Yeah, Money Mike.

00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:40.158
They went out at the weekend
and HW got high.

00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:43.038
He's kind of crazy,
especially when he gets high.

00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:45.798
He was in jail all his life.

00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:49.278
I know, that's what I told Mike.
He doesn't know how to act.

00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:53.638
I don't care how much you talk to him,
he's never going to learn.

00:15:53.880 --> 00:15:57.678
He is 71, going on 72.
- He's been out for 10 years or more.

00:15:57.880 --> 00:16:00.038
He has been out for
about 15 years.

00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:01.878
I'm proud of the little boy.

00:16:02.040 --> 00:16:02.798
He's the champ!

00:16:03.040 --> 00:16:05.358
He can box and fight, but he's
too old now,

00:16:05.520 --> 00:16:07.198
with all those bullets in him.

00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:09.958
He's old now
but still thinks he can fight.

00:16:10.160 --> 00:16:12.558
I saw Russell one day
and he said:

00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:13.918
'He's got nine lives!'

00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:16.078
I said: 'What are you
talking about, Russell?'

00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:18.478
He said: 'Man, he just took 6!'

00:16:18.800 --> 00:16:20.158
Six bullets?
- Six bullets.

00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:23.198
And he was lying out in the snow
and he kept telling himself...

00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:24.958
'I ain't going to die!'

00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:28.118
And that saved him
because he was full of that shit.

00:16:28.520 --> 00:16:30.598
That saved him.

00:16:42.680 --> 00:16:47.558
You're about as good as Ted and Larry.
You keep on doing what you're doing.

00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:51.438
I keep pretty ladies in my seat.

00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:53.638
Where's the Cadillac?
- In the shop.

00:16:53.800 --> 00:16:54.558
What's wrong?

00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:57.438
They bust my back window
and mashed up my dash.

00:16:57.600 --> 00:16:59.318
They broke into your car?
- Yeah.

00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:01.558
Where?
- On the Westside.

00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:03.798
There was blood all over the car,

00:17:04.040 --> 00:17:05.238
on the dashboard,...

00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:08.118
All they had to do
was open the glove compartment.

00:17:08.280 --> 00:17:12.438
They pried it open and pulled
the dashboard down on the...

00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:13.958
Did you have any money in there?

00:17:14.120 --> 00:17:16.278
Yes, I had $200 petty cash for my gas,

00:17:16.560 --> 00:17:18.518
that I keep in the little arm rest.

00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:22.478
Give him back his money!

00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:23.918
He's got your money.

00:17:24.080 --> 00:17:25.638
I ain't no thief. I'm a player.

00:17:26.320 --> 00:17:29.198
What are you talking about!
- He went back to his old ways.

00:17:29.360 --> 00:17:30.158
30 years ago.

00:17:30.320 --> 00:17:33.638
I'm one of the best
when it comes to getting into cars

00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:36.598
but I don't do that anymore, Larry.
I'm a changed man.

00:17:36.800 --> 00:17:39.398
I take my mama to church every Sunday.

00:17:39.800 --> 00:17:42.518
You know I'm a changed man.
Thank God for that!

00:17:42.840 --> 00:17:44.158
Come, give me a kiss.

00:17:47.760 --> 00:17:49.918
Victory is mine.

00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:52.198
Victory is mine.

00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:57.238
Victory today is mine.
All mine!

00:17:58.080 --> 00:17:59.958
I told Satan

00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:02.478
get me behind.

00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:06.278
Victory today is mine.

00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:09.918
Amen. This is joy. This is joy.
Thank God for joy!

00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:12.558
I thank Him for his goodness today.

00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:14.758
I thank Him for his grace today.

00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:18.438
I thank the Lord.
Who else did that for you now?

00:18:18.600 --> 00:18:21.798
No one else took our sins
and nailed it to the cross.

00:18:22.120 --> 00:18:23.358
Hallelujah!

00:18:23.520 --> 00:18:26.238
All praise His name
and we give Him the praise.

00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:28.998
Amen.
He ought to be known all over the world.

00:18:29.280 --> 00:18:30.998
And when they call His name

00:18:31.160 --> 00:18:33.638
let them know that God is good.

00:18:33.800 --> 00:18:37.038
And what His mercy is doing to
all the generations.

00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:39.518
Amen.
Thank you my brother.

00:18:39.681 --> 00:18:42.283
Why are you here?
You want to say something for the Lord?

00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:45.398
Jesus loves me.

00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:48.838
No matter what I've done,
Jesus still loves me.

00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:51.638
I might have broken every
commandment in the Book

00:18:51.800 --> 00:18:54.318
but Jesus still loves you, brother.

00:18:54.560 --> 00:18:59.278
Praise God! You might be an addict,
but Jesus still loves you.

00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:01.118
He will never forsake you.

00:19:01.320 --> 00:19:02.838
He will never leave you.

00:19:03.040 --> 00:19:08.758
God loves you that much! Hallelujah!
He will come down into your situation.

00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:10.838
God bless you!
Amen.

00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:13.318
Thank you my brother
and God loves you too!

00:19:14.600 --> 00:19:17.198
I was praying one day,
and God asked me a question.

00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:19.878
He asked me if I would go out
and hunt for souls.

00:19:20.280 --> 00:19:21.718
That is why I'm out here.

00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:25.038
It doesn't matter if a crowd comes.
It doesn't matter.

00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:26.958
I'm just giving His word.

00:19:27.120 --> 00:19:29.718
A lot of people are down,
they are frustrated.

00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:33.278
One reason why I need to be here,
is to build up the people.

00:19:33.560 --> 00:19:37.198
To let them know, this neighbourhood
is as important as any neighbourhood.

00:19:45.280 --> 00:19:47.798
This area here is 48205.

00:19:48.080 --> 00:19:51.318
They say it's one of
the baddest area's in the United States.

00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:53.478
I heard it was safer

00:19:53.640 --> 00:19:55.878
to live in Bagdad than it is here.

00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:07.718
I run a couple
of assisted living facilities

00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:09.518
where we take care of the homeless,

00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:13.878
veterans, people from
the prison entry programs, ...

00:20:14.120 --> 00:20:15.758
We try to provide housing for them.

00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:19.598
Care, shelter, financial programs.

00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:22.238
You look like you could use some.

00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:26.238
These houses are used,

00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:30.558
as you see on the news,
for young girls who are snatched up.

00:20:30.760 --> 00:20:32.598
They find them in these buildings.

00:20:32.760 --> 00:20:33.998
Raped...

00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:40.398
They've got dog fighting rings,
drugs, guns...

00:20:41.800 --> 00:20:45.278
This is my little circle on this block.
This is where I maintain.

00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:48.558
This is where I get my money.
This is where I get my business.

00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:51.358
This is where I take care of my people.

00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:56.398
Every man is on his own around here.

00:21:01.600 --> 00:21:05.998
Detroit is going to be
better than it was before.

00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:11.278
I saw two or three changes to this city.

00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:12.758
The riot.

00:21:13.320 --> 00:21:15.438
The Depression.

00:21:15.600 --> 00:21:17.118
And we came back from that.

00:21:17.280 --> 00:21:19.518
And we are going to come back from this.

00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:22.598
If I do what I want to do...

00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:25.278
Just keep being a good guy,
like I am,

00:21:25.800 --> 00:21:28.158
I won't be changing tires
in two years...

00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:30.518
I already own 2 houses.

00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:33.798
I'm only 21 years old.
I already take care of my parents.

00:21:34.680 --> 00:21:36.878
I already take care of my child.

00:21:38.043 --> 00:21:40.321
Two years from now,
Detroit's won't be like this.

00:21:41.120 --> 00:21:43.078
There are too many opportunities here.

00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:56.238
He's worth nine figures, right?

00:21:56.520 --> 00:21:59.398
That's what he's worth.
That ain't the cash that he's got.

00:21:59.560 --> 00:22:01.038
He's got shares in Versace.

00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:03.358
Is Versace ever going to stop selling?

00:22:03.560 --> 00:22:04.958
Hell no!
- OK then.

00:22:05.120 --> 00:22:07.798
This man gets 3 million dollars a month
off his investments.

00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:09.038
Would you tell him that?

00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:11.878
Here's a man who got 500 dollars

00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:14.958
for his first pro-fight.
500 dollars!

00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:20.198
And he just walked away
with a cheque in his pocket,

00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:21.958
for 103 million dollars.

00:22:22.120 --> 00:22:24.718
Did he just get that
10 million as a training fee?

00:22:25.040 --> 00:22:28.358
The average boxer is never even
going to get that in his whole career!

00:22:29.520 --> 00:22:31.678
If he gets 10 million to pay his camp...

00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:32.598
No, no!

00:22:32.760 --> 00:22:34.518
If I'm getting a 103 million...

00:22:35.040 --> 00:22:35.718
Right...

00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:38.078
And then I get
10 million beforehand...

00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:39.598
Why can't he keep the 10?

00:22:39.800 --> 00:22:41.238
It doesn't work like that!

00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:42.558
We all deserve bonuses!

00:22:42.760 --> 00:22:44.758
Yeah, but you don't get
a million dollar bonus

00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:47.318
for showing up two hours
every day for six weeks.

00:22:47.560 --> 00:22:49.558
You don't!
- Why not?!

00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:51.078
OK...
- Why not?!

00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:53.718
Oh man...
Here is 50 cents.

00:22:54.605 --> 00:22:56.763
That's enough pennies in there
to buy you some more sense.

00:23:26.040 --> 00:23:29.118
I started getting high when I was 14.
- Me too.

00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:34.038
By the time I reached 32,
I'd had enough.

00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:42.318
Me too. I always knew that somewhere
down the line it would kill me.

00:23:43.840 --> 00:23:47.918
God gave me a chance and made me quit
and put me in the hospital.

00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:50.318
How many years ago you gotten out?

00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:52.638
From '87 until now.

00:23:52.800 --> 00:23:57.678
From '87. So you got about 27, 28.
- Almost 30.

00:23:57.840 --> 00:24:00.198
What was your drug of choice?

00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:03.198
My drug of choice was marijuana.

00:24:05.320 --> 00:24:07.358
And then it went to shooting.

00:24:08.080 --> 00:24:11.238
The next 20 years, that was my thing.

00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:13.318
How's your liver?

00:24:13.640 --> 00:24:14.718
It's great!

00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:30.638
We've seen this city go
from good to bad,

00:24:31.800 --> 00:24:35.558
but I always believed in this city
and I always will!

00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:40.998
I'm a Detroiter.
I'm not going anywhere.

00:24:41.600 --> 00:24:45.718
I'll be the last one to cut off
the lights and lock the door.

00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:55.678
The barber shop is everything.
The barber shop is our country club.

00:24:55.920 --> 00:24:58.198
This is where
all the boys come and meet.

00:24:58.600 --> 00:24:59.918
When we leave here

00:25:00.080 --> 00:25:02.758
we're in a little better shape
because our hair is done.

00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:07.598
Hopefully me and Larry live forever,
and that's what we're gonna do...

00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:12.078
Because if we've got one strand of hair
on our head...

00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:16.118
It will be waved. It will be curled.
