[Verse 1]
AApril 26th, 19G92
There was a rAiot on the streets, tell me, whGere were you?
While yAou were sitting home, watching your TGV
While I was pAarticipatin' in some Ganarchy
AFirst spot we hit it was my liGquor store
I finAally got all that alcohol IG can't afford
With rAed lights flashing, tGime to retire
And then we D5turned that liquor store into a stD5ructure fire
ANext stop we hit it was the mGusic shop
It only Atook one brick to make that wGindow drop
AFinally, we got our own PG.A
Where do you thD5ink I got this guitar that you're Ahearing today? HGey
AHomicide, never dGoin' no time
[Verse 2]
When we reAturned to the pad to unload eGverything
It Adawned on me that I need new home Gfurnishings
So, Aonce again, we filled the van unGtil it was full
D5Since that day, my living room's been much more cAomfortaGble
A'Cause everybody in the hood has had it Gup to here
It's getting Ahotter, and hotter and harder, Geach and every year
Some Akids went in a store with their mGother
I Asaw her when she came out, she was Ggetting some Pampers
D5They said it was for the black man
They said it was fAor the Mexican, and Gnot for the white man
But if you D5look at the street, it wasn't aAbout Rodney King
And this Gfucked up situation, and these Dfucked up police
It's aAbout coming up and sGtaying on top
And screaming, "D187 on a Amotherfuckin' cGop"
DIt's not in the paper, it's on the Awall
National GGuard, D5Smoke from all Aaround
[Verse 3]
D5Let it burn, wAanna let it burn
GWanna let it burn
