"Lisa! Slow down on the drinks!! I'm serious..LISA-"
She kept chugging down drink after drink after drink. I could tell she was so upset and depressed about Aaliyah. She uses drinking as a coping mechanism

She got on the counter and started dancing like crazy and she kept drinking. "Ma'am! The bar is closing soon so I'm gonna need to take that bottle." The bartender said. "No, this my bottle I payed for it so don't you put yo hands on me!"
"Ma'am, I'm serious! Bars closing!" He tried to snatch the bottle out her hands but Lisa's reflexes was slick and she slapped him with he glass, causing a scene. The police had to escort us out and she was having a breakdown.

"Man, that wasn't even his bottle man..he aint have no right to do that! That was MY bottle. MINE!" Lisa whined. "I know, Li..." This reminded me of the old days back in '94.
I had my babygirl Chase Anela Rolison about a month ago and I agreed to go to the bar with Lisa...but I was a bit nose-blind to the strong smell of alcohol. We spent the night at a hotel for a meeting out of town
"Alright, Lisa sit here..Ima unlock our door." I pulled out the room key which I dropped but then she started having a breakdown.

"Every time I turn around, somebody always tryna take some shit from me!! Well they can have all this shit, man!!!" She started undressing and crying. Luckily, I stopped her before she got bare-ass naked. "LISA! Shhh!" I caught her before she fell to the ground, in tears covering her face.

"Lisa, it's gonna be ok.." I rubbed her head and comforted her. "Man..I don't know what to do about this..." Lisa was as tiny as can be so I forgot she was pregnant.
"Lisa...shit! You need to drink some water, I forgot you was pregnant...slipped my damn mind."
We went home and I had Natina help me put Lisa to bed.

Few weeks later

||LISA|| "Hello, Everyone. Today we have with us is Ms. Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes to remember the loss of Tupac Shakur, her late fiancé on the 5 year mark since his passing. Hello Ms. Lopes how are you doing?" The interviewer asked.

I smiled all I could. "Hi, I'm well and you?"
"Pretty decent. So, it's been 5 years since Tupac died. How do you feel?" The interviewer asked. "I feel as any other person who loved him truly feels, I am hurt. He was my man, my children's father. We had our issues but I still love him till this day."
"How did you cope with the loss of him?"
"At first, I tried to act like it didn't happen, drink my way into trying to see him. I usually tried to avoid the problem by staying home and never leaving my house because I missed him so much. And these kids...they're the reason why I'm here because I would've gave up completely. Without them, I would've died. But even talking about him I don't get sad or anything anymore because I know he's in his happy place; away from these horrible, terrible beings...and with his creator."

"Do you think Tupac was perhaps, ready to die?"
"I don't think he was ready to die. I think he was just ready to up his level you know? He always talked about how he envisioned his self dying and his death day. And I know when I used to look into his eyes I could see a bunch of helps being called out to me. My baby was the happiest person but a lot of things happened in his life where he wasn't so happy anymore. I think he knew he had to put his foot down for something and that's what I mostly respect about him. He was not only a good person but he was a great father. Every time I look at our daughter, I see him and all I could do is smile."

"So are you dating again? We saw you lately with your old lover; Andre Rison, model; Sean Newman, and DeathRow executive; Suge Knight. How's that been going for you?"
"I have had connections with the first two but I never went anywhere public with Suge to the point where it looks like we're dating. Me and him are like best friends and that was Pac's right hand man." I said bluntly. "Well, through the years you guys both had problems in the relationship...cheating was involved right?"
