"Darkest Before Dawn: Short Film (Script)" lyrics - PUSHA T
Blue lightning flashes. CUT TO: Lamp flashes in a dark orange room. PUSH lays on the carpet. He walks up the walls. PUSH and the PRIEST narrate elsewhere
PRIEST: Nightmares again?
PUSH: Yeah.
PRIEST: Same one?
PUSH: Same one.
CUT TO TEXT: KING PUSH. DARKEST BEFORE DAWN. Thunder rumbles.
CUT TO: HIDEOUT
CUT TO TEXT: PRODUCED BY GRANT CURATOLA
CUT TO: HIDEOUT
CUT TO: television scene that displays lions.
TV: At a striking distance, the movement that crossed its natural boundary. See them lose their confidence and abandon pursuits.
CUT TO TEXT: "EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS JEAN MOUGIN, SEVEN VICTOR, SHIVAM PANDYA. CO PRODUCERS CARTIER COURT, TAYLOR SHUNG. WRITTEN BY CARTIER COURT." Storm rumbles. "DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPH: J.J. RICHARDS"
TV:[?] they all begin to reunite
PUSH and MANNY count hundred bills as ACE watches TV. TV displays a lion close-up.
MANNY: (Tsk) Yo man, put the game on, man! Throwing my countin' off with all this giraffe shit, man.
On the screen, two lion cubs fight. "PRODUCTION DESIGNER DANICA PANTIC". A lion cub chases and bites down a bull. "EDITED BY KID ART".
PUSH mutters numbers to himself. Thunder rumbles.
MANNY: Do you not hear me, muthafucka? Oh, oh okay. So I got to go talk to...(laughs) this nigga...So I got to talk to Felicia to make sure you listen to me so you, you know, since she basically tells you-
ACE: Shut the fuck up, yo. Shut the fuck up...about Felicia...
MANNY: Whatchu mean? You know I gotta get you guys to listen to me, you won't ever listen to me.
ACE: You know where the joints at, huh?
MANNY: I got joints.
ACE: You ain't got no joints.
MANNY: I got no joints?
ACE: They not messing with you like that right now.
MANNY: So some Maria bodies for me?
ACE: No, Maria light-skinned. Way back then, she was...
PUSH laughs and looks at screen. Screen displays two lion cubs pinning a goat.
MANNY: Leave them lions alone. Make yourself useful.
ACE: I'm watching some information
MANNY: Shit, information nigga? Ha! This nigga, you watching the same shit three times in a row, bruh
ACE: I'm learnin' somethin', I'm learnin' somethin' (Points at own head)
MANNY: You learnin' somethin'?
ACE: If you get up out the house, maybe you can learn something.
MANNY: Yo, ok. Alright. Feliiica! Felica!
ACE: Mutters something and shakes head'
MANNY: You really salty. Feliii-
Sirens wail. MANNY, ACE, and PUSH get up and run. Cut to ACE running upstairs. "DIRECTED BY KID ART". Cut to a siren on the ground. Radio sounds. Someone kicks the siren.
