00:00The underdog believes he can do the impossible, defeat the bully, selling up mixtapes to get
00:11out of the hood.
00:14I can say with certainty, this underdog has seen his last day.
00:20Yo, wait, hold up.
00:24We got to take it from the top.
00:25We got one more job for you.
00:27We got one more job for you.
00:30Sleepy Floyd.
00:31Warrior's point card.
00:32His house is going to be empty on game night.
00:35He's got a vault full of ancient, ancient artifacts.
00:40Yesterday was the last job.
00:42I did it.
00:44I'm done.
00:46You're done when we say you're done.
00:52Fuck you.
00:54Open your eyes.
00:55What happened next has been debated over the years.
00:58Open your eyes.
00:59But this is the tale as I know it to be.
01:02Open your eyes.
01:04I found it.
01:06Open your eyes.
01:10Did you see that?
01:11Yeah.
01:12That's so rad.
01:14You don't expect it.
01:16Hi, I'm Sleepy Floyd.
01:19Floyd's out there slicing people up with a sword.
01:23Can you repeat that?
01:29It wasn't every day a story like this hit the town.
01:33There's too many of them.
01:34That's bullshit.
01:35We fight.
01:38But for those who lived through it,
01:41it became the stuff of legends.
01:49What?
01:55What happened here?
01:57You fucked with the wrong warrior.
