Verse Riff
DApril 26,1992 there was a riot on the
steets tell me where were you.
AYou were sittin' home watchin' your t.v.,
well I was participating in some anarchy.
DFirst spot we hit it was my liquor store
I finally got all the alcohol I can't afford
AWith red light's flashin' it was time to retire,
and then we turned that liquor store into a structure fire
DNext stop we hit was the music shop,
it only took one brick to make that window drop
AFinally we got our own p.a.,
where do you think I got this guitar that your hearing today.
Bridge riff (w/background vocals)
Verse Riff
DWhen we returned to the pad to unload everything
it dawned on me that I need new home furnishing
ASo once again we filled the van until it was full,
since that day my livin' room's been much more comfortable
DCause everybody in the hood has had it up to here
It's getting harder and harder and harder each and every year
ASome kids went in a store with their mother
I saw when she came out she was gettin' some pampers'
DThey said it was for the black man, they said it was for the mexican,
but not for the white man
ABut if you look at the streets it wasn't about Rodney King
It's this fucked up situation and the fuckin' police
DIt's about coming up and staying
on top and screamin 187 on a motherfuckin' cop
AIt's not on the papers, it's on the wall
National guard smoke from all around
Bridge (with background police beat)
Riff 2 with Bridge ending.
Verse Riff
Let it burn, want to let it burn...
Riots on the streets of Miami, Chicago, Long Beach, San Francisco, Kansas City...
