Plot: Filmmaker Shirley Clarke ("The Connection") directs this powerful, stark semi-documentary look at the horrors of Harlem ghetto slum life filled with drugs, violence, human misery, and a sense of despair due to the racial prejudices of American society. There is no patronizing of the black race in this cinematic cry for justice. A fifteen-year-old boy called Duke is ambitious to buy a "piece" (a gun) from an adult racketeer named Priest, to become president of the gang to which he belongs, and to return them to active "bopping" (gang fighting) which has declined in Harlem. It is a clearly patent allegory of an attempt by Duke to attain manhood and identity in the only way accessible to him - the antisocial one.

And when she takes a dangerous curve a swerve it makes me rush And when she puts her foot on the brake it slows me down and makes me blush
Sometimes when she drives too fast I lose control and then we crash (crash-crash, bang-bang, smash-smash)
close my eyes when she overtakes I don't wanna see a head on smash (bang-bang, smash-smash, bang-bang, smash)
And when she takes a dangerous curve a swerve it makes me rush And when she puts her foot on the brake it slows me down and makes me blush
And when she shifts it into fifth I'm along with her for the ride And when she hits the open road I explode and we collide What a ride
And when she takes a dangerous ride a swerve it makes me rush And when she puts her foot on the brake it slows me down and makes me blush
