April 26th, 1992, there was a riot on the streets
2
Tell me, where were you?
3
You were sittin' home, watchin' your TV
4
While I was paticipatin' in some anarchy
5
First spot we hit it was my liquor store
6
I finally got all that alcohol I can't afford
7
With red lights flashin', time to retire
8
And then we turned that liquor store into a structure fire
9
Next stop, we hit it was the music shop
10
It only took one brick to make that window drop
11
Finally we got our own P.A., where do you think
12
I got this guitar that you're hearing today? Hey
13
When we returned to the pad to unload everything
14
It dawned on me that I need new home furnishings
15
So once again we filled the van until it was full
16
Since that day my livin' room's been more comfortable
17
'Cause everybody in the hood has had it up to here
18
It's getting harder and harder and harder each and every year
19
Some kids went in a store with their mother
20
I saw her when she came out she was gettin' some pampers
21
They said, it was for the black man
22
They said, it was for the Mexican and not for the white man
23
But if you look at the streets it wasn't about Rodney King
24
It's this fucked up situation and these fucked up police
25
It's about coming up and staying on top
26
And screamin', "187" on a motherfuckin' cop
27
It's not written on the paper it's on the wall
28
National Guard smoke from all around
29
Let it burn, wanna let it burn, wanna let it burn
30
Wanna, wanna let it burn, I feel insane
31
Riots on the streets of Miami
32
Oh, riots on the streets of Chicago
33
On the streets of Long Beach, then San Fransisco
34
Riots on the streets of Kansas City
35
Oh, Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Cleveland, Ohio
36
Fountain Berry, Paramount, Vista Belle
37
Eugene, Oregon Eureka, California
38
Hesperia, Santa Barbara
39
Motherfuckin' Nevada, Phoenix, Arizona, San Diego
40
Lakewood, Florida, fuckin' 29 Palms
