April 26 1992 there was a riot on the streets tell me where were you?
You were sittin` home watchin` your T.V.
While i was participating in some anarchy.
The first spot we it was the liquor store,
I finally got all that alcohol I can`t afford
With red lights flashing, time to retire
We turned that liquor store into a structure fire.
Next spot we hit was the music shop
It only took one brick to make that window drop
Finally we got our own P.A. where do you think I got this guitar
that your hearin` today? (hey)
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 untill it was full,
Till this day our livin` room`s been much more comfortable.
`Cause everybody in the hood has had it up to here.
It`s geting harder and harder each and every year.
Some kids went in a store with their mother
I saw them when they came out they were gettin` some pampers
She said it was for the Black men
It was for the Mexican
but bot for the White man,
But if you look at the streets it wasn`t about rodney king
it`s about this fucked up situation and these fucked up police
It`s about comin` up and stayin` on top
And screaming 187 on a mother fuckin` cop
it`s not in the papers
It`s on the walls, national guard! smoke from all around
Riots on the streets of Miami
Riots on the streets of Chicago
On the streets of Long Beach
In San Francisco
Riots on the streets of Kansas City
Tuskenisa, Alabama; Cleveland, Ohio
Fountain Valley, Paramount
Eugene, Oregon; Eurika, California
Esperia, fuckin` 29th and Palm
Let it burn let it burn, wont you let it burn wont you wont you
let it burn?
