|
| Once upon a time in Los Angeles (Lo-lo-lo-lo-los Angeles, California)
|
| There was a boy
|
| Little Dominique on Saint Andrew’s and Fifth Street
|
| So how I got my alias should not be a mystery
|
| Surrounded by the culture, born to be down
|
| I had a Cold Crush Brother cat-napping on my couch
|
| In K-Town, when I was a child, chick-a-wow
|
| He even taught my mama how to freestyle
|
| Sitting on the floor, listening to her cassettes
|
| I’m up in MC Trouble shortly after her death
|
| And some Ice T, some Donald B, some Mix-A-Lot, Chubb Rock
|
| Once upon a time in Los Angeles
|
| There was a boy

|
| Playing Contra on Nintendo with the homie Marquis
|
| Who lived a couple buildings over and was older than me
|
| At World on Wheels, we could get in free when he was at the rink
|
| Or at the crib staring at the TV
|
| VCR playing Moonwalker on repeat
|
| 'Cause I used to eat corn on the cob with parmesan
|
| From Elote man on my block and that shit was super bomb
|
| Once upon a time in Los Angeles (Lo-lo-lo-lo-los Angeles, California)
|
| There was a boy
|
| Little Dominique in the car with his mom
|
| On the way to the sitter in a white Nissan
|
| Somebody call me a cab
|
| Damn, I’m gon' bleed to death waiting on an ambulance
|
| Tell my mama that (Hey, hey)
|
| Ain’t no way to get no ambulance in the ghetto, right?
|
| Unless you call up, «there's five niggas killing a white woman!»
|
| Finna be past tense, I told you that it’s over
|
| Two hundred tree rings, you watch a nigga earn 'em
|
| No health insurance and that’s still what I need
|
| You don’t know nothing 'bout little Dominique’s nosebleed
|
| And, uh, what you got to do wit' it, little nigga?
|
| (oh, hey, oh, hey, oh, hey)
|
| Finna be past tense, I told you that it’s over
|
| Two hundred tree rings, you watch a nigga earn 'em
|
| No health insurance and that’s still what I need
|
| You don’t know nothing 'bout little Dominique’s nosebleed
|
| Oh my god, so we making a right turn, trying to mind our own business,
|
| and this fool tries to make a U-turn and hits us dead on. |
| My baby hit his head
|
| on the windshield. |
| Dominique, are you okay? |
| Oh my god, somebody call the
|
| ambulance. |
| And then, he proceeded to try to keep going and the car wouldn’t
|
| start. |
| So he got out the car, had the nerve to accuse me of doing something
|
| wrong. |
| You big, burrito-eating, taco-eating, horchata-drinking,
|
| chicken-catching motherfucker. |
| Oh, hell no. |
| Somebody going to jail tonight,
|
| and it ain’t gon' be me. |
| Call the police! |
| Somebody call the police.
|
| Dominique, are you okay?
|
| Hold up, hold up, uh
|
| Hold up right quick
|
| When I said I don’t fuck with that coke shit, that’s one of the reasons
|
| My nostrils had enough problems often with basic breathing
|
| As a kid, I could suffocate in my sleep
|
| My mom run in the room, say 'wake up, Dominique' (wake up, Dominique)
|
| Let’s get you cleaned up, there’s blood on the pillows and sheets
|
| I know you haven’t been able to rest comfortably since the accident
|
| Believe you me, I wish it didn’t happen
|
| And you didn’t have to go to the hospital so frequently
|
| From a vessel in your nose that is so damaged
|
| Sporadically it leaks on you, but don’t panic
|
| Squeeze your nose closed, stop the blood flow
|
| And tilt your head back slightly
|
| Take a chill for a lil bit, you’ll be aight, see
|
| Some things in life occur to build strength
|
| And I know that you’re just a little kid but God’s got big plans for you if you
|
| still here
|
| Oh my god. |
| I can’t believe this is happening. |
| Is he gonna be okay?
|
| Is his nose broken? |
| That motherfucker gon' pay. |
| Where he at? |
| Did he go to jail?
|
| I need to put him in jail, or somebody gonna have to put me in jail.
|
| Look what you did to my son, you motherfucker! |
| Oh my god! |
| Oh! |
