Lf"us" mean any of you with cash riding on me,
your prayers will pay off about the fifth.

:20:05
No, Mr. Jefferson.
He mean win for us colored.

:20:07
Oh. Is that what
you're praying?

:20:09
May the good Lord
be guiding your hand for us.

:20:12
- Amen!
- You traipse all this way to pray it? My, my.

:20:16
What the reverend
mean to signify...

:20:18
- I know what he signifyin'.
I'm big, but I ain't dumb.
- What you salty with me for?

:20:21
- Hey, man. What's my winning gonna do for you?
- Huh?

:20:24
- Give him self-respect.
- Amen. Tell it, brother.

:20:27
Yeah, I be proud
to be colored tomorrow.

:20:30
Country boy, if you
ain't there already...

:20:32
all the boxing and nigger-praying
in the world ain't gonna get you there.

:20:35
- Jack, let's go.
- You look colored, but you
ain't thinking colored.

:20:39
No, sir, I'm thinking colored,
colored, and then colored.

:20:43
I'm so busy thinking colored,
I can't see nothin' else sometime.

:20:46
I just ain't thinking
colored like you.

:20:48
You're telling me
you're praying here.

:20:50
You expect I'm gonna say thank you,
and you ain't praying for me.

:20:53
It ain't, "Lord, don't let
that peck break his nose"...

:20:57
or "Lord, let him get out of town
and not get shot at!"

:21:00
I ain't nothing to you
but a black, ugly fist here.

:21:11
Lord...
:21:13
when smoke of battle clear away, may
that good man be standing in victory...

:21:18
and may them
who keep on shoving all us down...

:21:21
see they can't do it
every time, take a lesson.

:21:24
Give us just a day, Lord.
We needs it.

:21:27
And give him the light
to understand why.
