rate me

Song by Jackson, Samuel L.<br /><br>

Louis:<br>

"Who's that?" <br>

<br>

Ordell:<br>

"That's Beaumont." <br>

<br>

Louis:<br>

"Who's Beaumont?" <br>

<br>

Ordell:<br>

"Oh, an employee I had to let go." <br>

<br>

Louis:<br>

"What'd he do?" <br>

<br>

Ordell:<br>

"He put himself in the position where he was going to have to do ten years in prison,<br>

that's what he did. If you know Beaumont, you know there ain't no goddamn way he gonna do ten years.<br>

And if you know that, you know that Beaumont is gonna do anything<br>

Beaumont can to keep from doing them ten years,<br>

including telling the federal government any, and every motherfucking thing about my black ass.<br>

Now that, my friend, is a clear cut case of him or me, and you best believe, it ain't gonna be me.<br>

<br>
