INTRO:



Dominique: What do you feel when you hear a record like Tupac's new one?

Still the only place for me it never rains





To Live and Die in LA

Learn how to think ahead--so I fight with my pen

Late night down sunset like in a sin

What's the worst they could do to a nigga

Get me lost in hell--To Live and Die in LA

On bail--my angels sing...

Everybody wanna see
