[I don't know if you can, but can you get an order for Ons, that's O-N-S, Junior Market, the address is 1934 East Aneheim, all the windows are busted out, and it's like a free-for-all in here and uh the owner should at least come down here and see if he can secure his business, if he wants to...]

3
There was a riot on the streets
4
Tell me where were you?
5
You were sittin' home watchin' your TV
6
While I was paticipating in some anarchy
7
First spot we hit it was my liqour store
8
I finally got all that alcohol I can't afford
9
With red lights flashin', time to retire
10
And then we turned that liquor store into a structure fire
11
Next stop we hit, it was the music shop,
12
It only took one brick to make that window drop
13
Finally we got our own P.A.
14
Where do you think I got this guitar that you're hearing today?
15
(Homicide, never doin' no time)
16
When we returned to the pad to unload everything
17
It dawned on me that I need new home furnishings
18
So once again we filled the van until it was full
19
Since that day my livin' room's been much more comfortable
20
Cause everybody in the hood has had it up to here
21
It's getting harder and harder and harder each and every year
22
Some kids went in a store with their mother
23
I saw her when she came out she was gettin' some Pampers
24
They said it was for the black man
25
They said it was for the Mexican
26
And not for the white man
27
But if you look at the streets, it wasn't about Rodney King
28
It's this fucked-up situation and these fucked-up police
29
It's about comin' up and stayin' on top
30
And screamin' 187 on a mother fuckin' cop
31
It's not in the papers it's on the wall
32
National guard
33
Smoke from all around
34
[Units be advised of an attempt 211 to arrest now at 938 Temple, 9-3-8 Temple, many subjects with bats trying to get inside the CB's house...they're trying to kill him]
35
Let it burn
36
Wanna let it burn, wanna let it burn
37
Wanna wanna let it burn (I feel insane)
38
Riots on the streets of Miami
39
Whoa, riots on the streets of Chicago
40
On the streets of Long Beach
41
In San Fransico
42
Riots on the streets of Kansas City
43
Tuskaloosa, Alabama
44
Cleveland, Ohio
45
Fountain Valley, Paramount, Vista Buelle
46
Eugene, Oregon
47
Eureeka, California (Let it burn, let it burn)
48

49

50
Mother fuckin' Nevada
51
San Diego
52
Lakewood, Florida
53
Fuckin' 29 Palms
54
[Need a unit to... structure fire and numerous subjects looting]
55
