(I don't know if you can

But can you get an owner for Ons

That's O-N-S, Junior Market?

The address is 1934, East Anaheim

All the windows are busted out, and it's like a free-for-all in here

And, uh, the owner should at least come down here

And see if he can secure his business, if he wants to)

April 26th, 1992

There was a riot on the streets, tell me, where were you?

You were sitting home, watching your TV

While I was participatin' in some anarchy

First spot we hit it was my liquor store

I finally got all that alcohol I can't afford

With red lights flashing, time to retire

And then 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 that window drop

Finally, we got our own PA

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

Hey!

(Call fire and tell them to respond at a Mobil station

Alamitos and Anahiem

It's, uh, flamin' up good

10-4, Alamitos and Anaheim)

Homicide, never doin' no time

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 living room's been much more comfortable

'Cause everybody in the hood has had it up to here

It's getting hotter, and hotter and harder, each and every year

Some kids went in a store with their mother

I saw her when she came out, she was getting some Pampers

They said it was for the black man

They said it was for the Mexican, and not for the white man

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

And this fucked up situation, and these fucked up police

It's about coming up and staying on top

And screaming, 187 on a motherfuckin' cop

It's not in the paper, it's on the wall

National Guard

Smoke from all around

Bo, bo, bo!

(Units, units be advised there's an attempt 211 to arrest now

At 938 Temple, 938 Temple

30 subjects with bats, trying to get inside the CB's house

He thinks they're gonna start to try to kill him)

(As long as I'm alive, I'ma live illegal)

Let it burn, wanna let it burn

Wanna let it burn

Wanna, wanna let it burn

(I'm feelin' sad and)

Riots on the streets of Miami

Woah, riots on the streets of Chicago

On the streets of Long Beach

And San Francisco (Boise, Idaho)

Riots on the streets of Kansas City

(Salt Lake, Huntington Beach, California)

Tuscaloosa, Alabama (Arcada, Clarkston, Michigan)

Cleveland, Ohio

Fountain Valley (Texas, Barstow, let's do this every year)

Bear Mountain, Victorville (twice a year)

Eugene, OR, Eureka, CA (let it burn, let it burn)

Hesperia (won't ya let it burn, won't'cha, won't'cha let it burn?)

Santa Barbara, Cuyamca, Nevada (let it burn)

Phoenix, Arizona

San Diego, Lakeland, Florida (won't you let it burn?)

Fuckin' we're not pawns (won't you let it burn? Let it burn)

(Any units assist, try 54 Willow at Canton Ave

Structure fire, and numerous subjects looting

10-15 to get rid of this looter

10-4)
