[Verse 1]
A G April 26th, 1992 A G There was a riot on the streets, tell me, where were you? A G While you were sitting home, watching your TV A G While I was participatin' in some anarchy A G First spot we hit it was my liquor store A G I finally got all that alcohol I can't afford A G With red lights flashing, time to retire D5 D5 And then we turned that liquor store into a structure fire A G Next stop we hit it was the music shop A G It only took one brick to make that window drop A G Finally, we got our own P.A D5 A G Where do you think I got this guitar that you're hearing today? Hey A G Homicide, never doin' no time
[Verse 2]
A G When we returned to the pad to unload everything A G It dawned on me that I need new home furnishings A G So, once again, we filled the van until it was full D5 A G Since that day, my living room's been much more comfortable A G 'Cause everybody in the hood has had it up to here A G It's getting hotter, and hotter and harder, each and every year A G Some kids went in a store with their mother A G I saw her when she came out, she was getting some Pampers D5 They said it was for the black man A G They said it was for the Mexican, and not for the white man D5 A But if you look at the street, it wasn't about Rodney King G D And this fucked up situation, and these fucked up police A G It's about coming up and staying on top D A G And screaming, "187 on a motherfuckin' cop" D A It's not in the paper, it's on the wall G D5 A National Guard, Smoke from all around
