Legacy

LIL' MURDA: Oh,
so you gon' act like you forgot
what happened last week on P-Valley?
Forcing deserving folk
off their property
is not a way to run a city.
Auction's only two weeks away,
and your ass is gon' be on the block.
You everybody punk, from what I heard.
LIL' MURDA: Nigga, you is dead to me!
Somebody danced in my place?
LAUREN: Yeah, they called her M-I-
- crooked letter- crooked letter
- Oh!
Somebody done posted a
video of me from last night.
Your vajayjay done went viral, girl.
MERCEDES:
You don't know Patrice Woodbine.
She stole from me.
- [YELLS]
- [ALL SHOUTING]
All the money I had stashed up
in the church building fund,
she used it for her own fucking church.
It was the only way I
could get Terricka back.
PATRICE:
You need to leave Terricka with 'Shelle.
Need to let somebody take you on
up out this office for a minute.
Where you gon' take me?
[BABY FUSSING]
Oh, fuck.
- I'ma go talk to her. I'll go talk to her.
- Let me handle her.
My wife went missing the
day Hurricane Drake hit.
I'll get my deputies to put up
some flyers around town quick-fast.
What do you mean I'm not
allowed any more transfers?
Apologies, Miss Savage,
but our records show
that you've done over
ten in the past few days.
I can run you ten stacks
by the end of the week.
- What I gotta do?
- We gon' need IDs.
MERCEDES: I know this man
named Mane that can hook us up.
- How many you need?
- Ten.
Okay.

Look, sometime a mama gotta
learn how not to disappoint.
I can't tell you how many
times I've had to get that girl

"Mercedes not gon' make it today, baby."
I can't keep watching you

I do remember pushing
her out my coochie.
Cortez probably rolling

Cortez ain't rolling nowhere

I remember a time when Pussy Valley
was more packed than hell.
You see, they pushed all us hoes
to the end of the
universe near the river,
and one by one, each brothel
was felled by flame and by flood,
but our lil' spot just kept on truckin'.
Some say it was 'cause of God's grace,
but I'm a practical bitch.
I says it was
'cause we was on that bluff
'sides the levee.
I call it luck,

maybe it truly was
God's grace.
Seems like The Pynk's
built to last, then.
There's not much on this Earth that is.

you got something good,
you gotta keep hold to it.
