April 26th 1992 there was a riot on the
streets

Tell me where were you you were
sittin' home watchin' your tv

While I was
participating in some anarchy

First spot
we hit it was my liquor store

I finally
got all the alcohol I can't afford

With
red lights flashin' time to retire

Oh tho
we turned that liquor store into a structure
fire

Next stop we hit it was the music
shop

It only took one brick to make the
window drop

Finally we got our own
p.a.

Where do you think I got this guitar
that you're hearing today

When we returned
to the pad to unload everything,

It dawned
on me that I need new home furnishings

So
once again we filled the van until it was
full

Since that day my livin' room's been
more comfortable

Cause everybody in the
hood has had it up to here

it's getting
harder and harder each and every year

Some
kids went in a store with their mother

When
she came out she was gettin some
peppers

They said it was for the black
man

They said it was for the
mexican

But not for the white
man

But if you look at the streets it
wasn't about Rodney King

It's bout this
fucked up situation and the fucked up
police

It's about coming up and staying on
top or screamin' 187

on a mofo
cop

It's not written on the papers, but
its written on the wall

National guard
smoke from all around
