[Intro]
(I don't know if you can, but can you get an order 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 should
Be able come down here and see if he can secure his business, if he wants
To...)
[Verse 1]
April 29th, 1992
There was a riot on the streets, tell me where were you?
You were sittin' home watchin' your TV
While I was paticipating in some anarchy
First spot we hit it was the 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 the window drop
Finally we got our own P.A
Where do you think I got this guitar that you're hearing today?
('Cause as long as I'm alive, I'ma live illegal)
[Verse 2]
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 much 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
A girl went in a store with her mother and kids
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, but not for the white man
But if you look at the streets, it wasn't about Rodney King
It's 'bout this fucked-up situations and these fucked-up police
It's about comin' up and stayin' on top
And screamin' 187 on a motherfuckin' cop
It's ain't on the paper, it's on the wall
National guard, smoke from all around
(Any unit, any unit...)
(Homicide, never doing no time)
[Outro]
Give me my share, my share
Gimme my share, I want it
Gimme my share, I need it now, I need it now
But there is a wicked one, who doesn't wanna see me go
Just gimme my share, I want it, gimme my share
But you don't wanna give it to me
You don't wanna see me go
Gimme my share, I want it, Gimme my share
But there is a wicked one
(Units be advised of an attempt 211 to arrest now at 938 Temple, 9-3-8
Temple, many subjects with bats trying to get inside the CB's
House...they're trying to kill him)
