Grove 4 Life is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, given to protagonist Carl Johnson by his brother Sweet from his home in Grove Street, Ganton, Los Santos, San Andreas.

Mission

Sweet is giving a group of Grove Street gang members a morale boosting talk when Carl enters. Sweet is glad to see him and wants to let the other gangs know that the Grove Street Families are back. Carl is unsure, wanting to focus on his other commitments first. Sweet asks the group to step outside and berates Carl for leaving the job half done and forgetting his priorities. Carl tries to argue with him, saying that the world doesn't begin and end in Grove Street but Sweet will not agree. Carl gives up and the Johnson Brothers set out to put Grove Street back on the map.

The brothers head over to the Idlewood area, another Ballas' turf and start a gang war. Once the turf has been taken over, they head to another turf. Carl and Sweet start another gang war, and claim the territory again. Carl and Sweet then drive back to Grove Street where Sweet goes to get some sleep. With the expansion of their turf the Families are asserting themselves as a force to be reckoned with in Los Santos.

Script

(Sweet is in his house with four gang members)

Sweet: You gotta love your 'hood like you love your homies. It's always been that way, and ain't nothing ever gonna change, I done seen it all.

(Carl enters.)

Sweet: Whattup, CJ?

Carl Johnson: Whassup? Yeah... I'm glad to see things back the way they used to be.

Sweet: Nah, it ain't like it was, but it's gonna be. We still gotta get everybody in the 'hood back together. I was just telling these cats what's important. We gotta let everybody know: Grove is back on the map.

Carl Johnson: Hold up - don't you think we ought to take it easy?

Sweet: What?

Carl Johnson: You know, I got other things in mind - commitments I made.

Sweet: Can y'all step outside for a minute? I need to talk to him.

(The gang members exit)

Sweet: If you don't get this shit together, what you think this place is going to look like? You always did real good leaving jobs half finished.

Carl Johnson: That's cold, Sweet.

Sweet: Man, we can't take care of this from no bitch-ass rapper's mansion.

Carl Johnson: Look, the world is bigger than this 'hood.

Sweet: This is where our lives began and where it's probably gonna end. And don't forget where you came from, mister uppity ass nigga.

Carl Johnson: Now that ain't fair.

Sweet: Oh - somebody just crossed out all the writing on the wall. Disrespected your 'hood. And you act like you don't give a fuck. THAT ain't fair.

Carl Johnson: OK. Have it your way. C'mon.

(Carl and Sweet are outside Sweet's house after taking over Idlewood)

Sweet: You helped Grove Street Families hammer them Ballas.

Carl Johnson: Johnson boys rolled right over them!

Sweet: OK, dog, I'm going to get some sleep, I'm beat. Here, I took this from one of those Ballas fools. Probably drug money - here's your half.

Reward

• The reward is $10,000 and increased respect. If Cut Throat Business has been completed, the mission Riot will be unlocked.

Trivia

• If the player has already taken all of the gang territory in Los Santos, when starting this mission, a territory will belong to the Ballas again, just for the purposes of the mission.
• This is the only occurence in the game when a passanger in your car can use a weapon other than a pistol or SMG. When driving close to the Ballas, Sweet will use his AK-47 from within the car.
