Ozomatli – April 29th, 1992 (Miami) (Sublime Cover) lyrics

"Disbelief turned into anger"

April 29th, 1992
Riot in LA
Where the fuck was you?
You were sitting home watching Ricki Lake
While I was dropping bombs on Chief Daryl Gates

First spot that we hit was my liquor store
I got 40 Night-Trains, head for the door
Woo woo, uh that's the sound of the police
So we step around the corner and we jet with ease

Next spot that we hit was the music shop
It took one slick shot to make that window drop
Finally we got our own PA
Where you think I got this mic that you hearing today? Hey

"All Hollenbeck units, All Hollenbeck units, be on the alert for Molotov Cocktails"
"All Hollenbeck units, be on the alert for Molotov Cocktails"

Let it burn
Wanna let it burn
Wanna let it burn
Wanna wanna let it burn

Well we returned to the pad to unload the stash
It hit me, I need a couch for my brand new pad
Jumped in the hoop-ride, head to Fedco
It's 1992 so there is no Costco

In the hood, they had it up to here
From Boyle Heights to Lynwood
It gets harder every year
I see kids in the store with they moms and pops
Taking diapers and chitlins and liters of pop

Uh, they said it was for the black man
For the Mexican
And not for the Gabachos
Eating nachos and Trader Joe's tacos
I'm so cool

Check it,
Yo man, this whole situation ain't about Rodney King
It's about the whole world
The time that we living in
The state of things is fucked up
Citizens of the world
It's about coming up
Staying on top
And screaming 1-8-7 on a motherfucking cop

Let it burn
Wanna let it burn
Wanna let it burn
Wanna wanna let it burn

"Los Angeles is in flames"

"We the jury in the above entitled action, find the defendant Stacey C. Koon, not guilty of the crime of assault with a deadly weapon"

Let it burn
Wanna let it burn
Wanna let it burn
Wanna wanna let it burn
