Lyrics

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 aneheim
All the windows are busted out
And it's like a free-for-all in here
And uh the owner shouldat 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 sittin' home watchin' your tv
While I was paticipatin' in some anarchy

First spot we hit it was my liqour store
I finally got all that alcohol I can't afford
With red lights flashin' 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 p.a
Where do you think I got this guitar that you're hearing today?
Hey!

(Call fire, respond mobil station
Alamidos in anahiem
Its uhh flamin up good
10-4 alamidos in anaheim)

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 livin' room's been more comfortable

Cause everybody in the hood has had it up to here
It's getting harder and harder and harder each and every year

Some kids went in a store with thier mother
I saw her when she came out she was gettin 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 streets it wasn't about rodney king
It's bout this fucked up situation and these fucked up police
It's about coming up and staying on top
And screamin' 187 on a mother fuckin' cop
It's not written on the paper it's on the wall
National guard??!
Smoke from all around

Bo! bo! bo!
