Junior Market, the address is 1934 East Anaheim, all the windows are busted out
3
And it's like a free-for-all in here

April 26th, 1992
6
There was a riot on the streets
7
Tell me where were you?
8
You were sittin' home watchin' your TV
9
While I was participating in some anarchy
10
First spot we hit it was my liquor store
11
I finally got all that alcohol I can't afford
12
With red lights flashin', time to retire
13
And then we turned that liquor store into a structure fire
14
Next stop we hit, it was the music shop,
15
It only took one brick to make that window drop
16
Finally we got our own P.A.
17
Where do you think I got this guitar that you're hearing today?

22
Homicide, never doin' no time
23
When we returned to the pad to unload everything
24
It dawned on me that I need new home furnishings
25
So once again we filled the van until it was full
26
Since that day my livin' room's been much more comfortable
27
'Cause everybody in the hood has had it up to here
28
It's getting harder, and harder, and harder each and every year
29
Some kids went in a store with their mother
30
I saw her when she came out she was gettin' some Pampers
31
They said it was for the black man
32
They said it was for the Mexican, and not for the white man
33
But if you look at the streets, it wasn't about Rodney King
34
It's this fucked-up situation and these fucked-up police
35
It's about comin' up and stayin' on top
36
And screamin' 1-8-7 on a motherfuckin' cop
37
It's ain't in the paper, it's on the wall
38
National guard
39
Smoke from all around
40
(Units, units be advised there is an attempt 211 to arrest now at 938 Temple
41
938 temple, 30 subjects with bags, trying to get inside the CB's house)
42
(As long as I'm alive, I'mma live illegal)
43
Let it burn, wanna let it burn
44
Wanna let it burn, wanna wanna let it burn
45
(I'm feelin' sad and blue)
