Jeff, a self-described “neighborhood dope man,” walks back to his car after visiting with his child at a house down the street from where he lives.

“We From A Place / Where Da Rebel Flag Still Aint Burnin / New Schools But The Black Kids Still Aint Learnin Bout Shit / But Hit Da Streets And Learn To Pimp On A Bitch / Five-O Aw Shit Throw Yo Crack In The Ditch . . . Hell Yea Mississippi You Kno Wut Im Talkin Bout / Da Home Of Da Blues / Da Dirtiest Part Of Da South.”
