- [Narrator] Survival is the greatest human instinct.
Humans and animals use deception in order to survive.
Surviving Oakland was not for the weak.
You either had to walk on water to escape,
or burn everything down with fire,
and we really good at burning shit.
I survived Oakland because the furnace inside me
nurtured a greater glow than the fires around me.
For me, scamming was about breaking the system
and showing how smart you are for figuring it out.
The old heads had their way,
they were either taking what you bought,
selling what they cooked, or grew,
some niggas was even selling you.
My generation had a more elegant way.
What's the common denominator?
Money, and we found a way to take that.
Without my momma or my daddy present,
I had to figure it out.
And when it came to finessing
Turns out I was a genius.

I had to take care of my family, my grandma,
my brothers, and my sister,
I was just a kid trying to raise kids,
so making money in the hood
required a higher level of creativity.
Our bread and butter was sliding for them gift cards,
tap in with the dark web
so when I make that purchase, I'm not losing the money.
The funny thing about robbing digitally
is that they expect it (chuckles),
why else do thy insure it?
They know what I'm finna do,
you just got to present it right,
not with a gun to someone's chest,
but with a smile and a story.
I wasn't a criminal (chuckles), I was a caretaker.
I fed my demons, the same way white people feed theirs,
theft and deception.
How you doing tonight, sister? - Hi, good, how are you?
- [Narrator] Thieves stealing from thieves
is a victimless crime.
Gonna make some quick purchases,
and go and get up out your way.
- Okay. - Cynthia,
you said your name is? - Yeah.
- Beautiful name, beautiful name,
that was my grandmother's name, Cynthia.
- Oh. - Amen, amen, brother.
- Yeah. - Rest her soul,
rest her soul. - Do you know the origin
of your name? - Huh?
- Do you know the origin of your name?
- I don't know, Irish? - It comes from Ephesians
chapter 10:100, "Having sinned, thy... a."
- And that is a word, that is a word, that is a word.
- Amen, amen. - Okay.
- Excuse me, where is my manners?
My name is Brian McSwipethis, this is-
- Reverend Refund. - Uh-huh.
- Deacon Discover.
- We're youth pastors with the Neon Genesis Evangelical
First Episcopal Baptist Irish-Catholic Church
of Douglas T MacKenzie.
- Mm-hmm, can I have a hallelujah up in here?
- We don't usually sell this many gift cards.
- Yeah, so you know the park, the big park,
down there by City Hall. - Yes.
- Yes, so we got the whole park,
I'm talking, I'm talking everything
where the Lord's light shines,
you can have a great find, and a great time.
- Amen, brother. - Yes.
- Singing the Lord's praises. - Amen, brother.
- Amen. - And smelling
the Lord's daisies. - Amen.
- So just gonna do some gift card purchases
to give out in the raffle. - Where is your church?
- New Jersey. - Atlantic City.
- Yeah.
- Can you just grab the whole rack,
we might as well clean y'all out.
We, you know, you know the park over by City Hall.
- All of them? - You know the park
over by City Hall how massive that is?
We got two big stages,
everybody coming to sing the Lord's praises.
It's gonna be huge event, I'm talking real huge, sister.
- Colossal. - It gonna take a long time.
- I mean how many times
do you got a wonderful church
coming in this bright wide-eyed city
to give away to the youth and the homeless.
- You know what I'm saying? - Yes.
- Mm-hmm. - Yes, yes.
- You can slide whenever.

- There was a time in my life,
we used to throw "Project X" parties themed after the movie,
but they were so much greater than that production,
a lot more Oakland.
It was kind of what I was known for.
Imagine a glorious gumbo of women,
sweat, mechanical bulls, teenagers twerking,
sideshows, all marinated to make a specific taste
that is the rebellious spirit of the Bay.
The greatest money play, until the police hit us (laughs),
then once we was back broke, it was back to the bitches.
We would throw big slumber party, orgy type vibes.
We would have a group of females come over,
and we would be in the room, getting off freaking,
dropping drawers and things,
while that was happening, another group would come over,
and then the girls would rotate with each other,
and the cold part about it is once a girl
went in to the room, Skylar was robbing 'em blind.
Everything, I mean everything, the makeup palette,
the mirror that they looked in,
the wallet, inside the wallet.
(tense dramatic music)
The only thing we leaving is the chapstick.

(muffled church music)
My momma's side is Filipino, and my daddy's side is Black.
The side I look like the most, the Black side,
taught me a lot about pain.
I didn't know that being Black was negative
until certain adults in my life proved that to me.
I remember going to church with my grandma as a kid.
My grandma loved me unconditionally.
But when it came to other Filipinos,
especially the ones who dedicated their lives to God,
their judgment felt kryptonite.

(footsteps thudding) (slow somber music)
Being biracial was a super power.
It allowed me to be a part of two different worlds
with two different cultures I can add to myself,
and that was an advantage.
When you're a kid,
you look at the world as one big adventure,
unbound and with nothing to stop you.
The child's mind is so positive
that when you stop to think
about what adults said to you back then,
you overlook all the negative forces
that tried to place mountains in your path.
I didn't realize certain jokes were racist
until I got older.
I didn't know I was supposed to be a basketball player
because I looked like one.
I didn't know I was supposed to behave a certain way
because of how I looked.
I remember when my mom picked me and my grandma up
from church.
She would pull up to church in some form,
playing Juvenile, and all my Filipino friends
thought it was cool.
But the OG Filipinos thought it was ghetto,
loud, and disruptive.
(slow somber music)
Not everyone accepted us.
But I guess when you old,
you just get more racist, (chuckles) you can't help it.

My dad was in and out jail,
he send me this handkerchief from the County
about two days before I graduated.
So his presence was not a permanent one, but it was felt.
Oakland was filled with street niggas and criminals,
and this was just part of the life.
Outside of my father, I had people in my life
that became father figures,
my momma always said it takes a village to raise a child.
My uncles, Aswad and Greg,
filled in some of those blanks for me.
Greg was Juice's dad.
Jigga Juice is my godbrother.
(slow gentle music)
Greg provided me with structure.
When I ran away from home, I sneaked to Greg's house,
but the price of stayin' there was doing chores,
dishes, watering plants, potting, checking the dogs,
shit like that.
Greg used to have dog and cock fights,
we would clean and manage the kennels,
chicken guts, and dog guts,
I know that sound crazy, but I mean shit,
I learned how to be a home owner, a handyman,
take care of my responsibilities,
I learned how to be a man scrubbing them base boards
at Greg's house.

Greg had a big weed growing operation in the house,
and nobody dare to rob him,
just because he was a real West Oakland OG.
He was on his way to becoming a weed millionaire
until one day, somebody snitched on him.
The police eventually raided his house,
taking all his weed plants away,
and in a crazy turn of events,
the police had to bring back all his plants,
because he sued the City of Oakland
for conducting that raid illegally.
With the help of his inside friend who used to work
for the Mayor of the city,
he got his paperwork together
and sued the drawers off the city (chuckles).
He got all his weed back from the police,
shortly after, this nigga sued PG&E,
that's the power company in the Bay.
It was one of their maintenance workers
who tipped off the police on Uncle Greg,
he was giving private information to the police
while on a job.
Loophole is a motherfucker, ain't it?
Greg's confidence and love for himself
for sure rubbed off on me.
He had a millionaire's prayer that he wrote,
and it was about how his millionaire seed
would come to fruition (laughs).
We would hold hands at the dinner table, saying grace,
and he made everybody hold hands
while he prayed for himself.
"Father God, I want You to bless the man
that owns this house,
because of him, I want you to bless the kitchen
that allowed other people to cook for this man."
(laughs) The whole world revolved around Greg.

- [Narrator] The greatest scam I ever ran
was convincing myself
that I didn't need my momma to grow up.
The truth is I grew up, and became my momma.
- No, no, that was- - That was 30 bands
out of the Safeway. - 30?
- No, I had 10. - No, no,
we had 10,000 a piece. - Come on, man.
- 10? - First play?
- Yeah, that was, that was back when 101-
- And then the kid said- - I thought it was Christmas.
- No. - Yeah.
- [Narrator] She was the greatest finesser in Oakland.
A tough but pretty woman who empowered herself
to get to the top.
She commanded her destiny by always trying to figure out
the system.
Her coming from jail is now a result,
of scamming the judge by telling him
that she had an addiction.
She said that her addiction was money,
that led her to go to a special rehab facility
which drastically reduced her sentence.
(sirens wailing)
- Toast. - Toast to each other.
- Let's make a toast. - To each other.
- Each other. (glasses clanking)
(all laughing)
- What the fuck?
(slow gentle music)
- [Narrator] Her real addiction was finessing.
Despite all the pain that me, and my brothers,
and my sister had to endure from her not being around,
she had the best way of making us forget about everything,
because she was a survivor,
and we were survivors.

A stoop kid lives
