What is the meaning of this Japanese sentence?


The scene: A boy plays a ghita on the street to earn money then a bunch of
yakuzas show up. They steal his ghita and say:

Yakuza1: "わしらのしま で. 何 勝手しとんじゃい" (This is our turf. You think you can do
whatever you like?)

Yakuza2:"ショバ代払えね ならよォー 足りねー分は"

The yakuza 2 being hit by someone right after saying the sentence.

Does the sentence of the yakuza 2 means " If you pay for protection, you don't
have enough minute..." Or " You must pay us money for protection. If you don't
have enough minute...?




> ショバ代払えね ならよォー 足りねー[分]{ぶん}は

The [分]{ぶん} is not "minute" ([分]{ふん/ぷん}) but "amount", "part".

払えねなら (払えねーなら) means 払え **ない** なら, "if you can't pay".

You're right that 足りねー分 is 足りない分, literally "the amount that's not enough" →
the rest of the payment, remaining bill, or shortfall, deficit.

"If you can't pay for protection, the remaining amount..." [the sentence is
cut off]
