April 29th, 1992 (Miami) Songtext

von Sublime

(po-po)i-i don't know if you can, but can you get an owner
For 'ons'? thats, o-n-s junior market. the address is 1934 east aniheim
All the windows are busted out and it's like a free-for-all, and, ah
The owner should meet and come down here and see if he can secure his business, if he wants too...
Everybody wooo april 26, 1992
There was a riot on the streets tell me where were you?
You were sittin' home watchin' your t.v.
Well, i was participatin' in some anarchy
The first spot we hit it was my liqour store
I finally got all that alcohol i can't afford
With red lights flashing time to retire
And then we turned that liqour store in to a structure fire
The 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 your hearin' today? eh
(five-o)call fire at delzer super spot on waldow station on alameda east anaheim
It's ah, flamin' up good...(dispatch)...10-4 alameda east anaheim.
Homicides, 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
'cuz everybody in the 'hood's had it up to here
It's getting harder and harder and harder each and every year
Some kids went in the store with their mother
I saw her when she came out she was gettin' some pampers ah ah ah
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 on the streets
It wasn't about rodney king in this fucked up situation
And these fucked up police
It's about comin' up and stayin' on top
And screemin' 187 on a muther fuckin' cop
It's not in the papers it's on the wall
National guard smoke from all around
(dispatch) units-units be advised there's a 211 to arrest
Now 938 temple, 9-3-8 temple. 30 subjects with bats
Trying to get into this baby's house i think their trying to kill 'em.
Long as i'm alive ima live illegal
Let it burn wanna let it burn wanna let it burn wanna wanna let it burn
Don't kill it save it
Riots on the streets on miami, whoa riots on the streets of chicago,
Ooh on the streets of long beach, ooh and san francisco,
Riots on the streets of kansas city, ooh tuscamusa alabama
Clevland ohio, mountain berry, bear mountain, vista beuro, eugene oregon
Eureka california, aspiria, santa barbra, reno, mount vida nevada, phoenix arizona, sandiego,
Lakeland florida, fuckin' 29 palms... let it burn
(one time) any units, this is 2074 a structure fire
Numerous subjects looting.1015 get rid of this looter...10-4.
