“I been doin' this a long time. I ain't never said nothin' to no cop. [Bodie sighs] I feel old...I been out there since I was 13. I ain't never fucked up a count, never stole off a package, never did some shit that I wasn't told to do. I've been straight up. But what come back? You think if I get jammed up on some shit, they be like, 'All right, yeah. Bodie been there. Bodie hang tough. We got to his pay lawyer. We got a bail.' They want me to stand with them, right? Where the fuck they at when they supposed to be standing by us? I mean, when shit goes bad and there's hell to pay, where they at? This game is rigged, man...we like them little bitches on the chessboard.”
