Sublime - April 29, 1992 (Miami) Lyrics

(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 Anaheim, all the windows are busted out
And it's like a free-for-all in here
And, uh, the owner should at least come down here, 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 participating in some anarchy
First spot we hit it was my liquor 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 and tell them to respond at a Mobil station
Alamitos and Anaheim
It's, uh, flamin' up good
10-4, Alamitos and Anaheim)

Homicide, 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 much more comfortable
'Cause everybody in the hood has had it up to here
It's getting hotter and hottrt and harder each and every year
Some kids went in a store with their 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
And this fucked up situation and these fucked up police
It's about comin' up and stayin' on top
And screamin' 1-8-7 on a motherfuckin' cop
It's not in the paper, it's on the wall
National Guard
Smoke from all around

(Units, units be advised there is an attempt 211 to arrest now at 938 Temple
938 temple, 30 subjects with bags, trying to get inside the CB's house
He thinks they're gonna, they're trying to kill him)

(As long as I'm alive, I'ma live illegal)

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

(I'm feelin' sad and)

Riots on the streets of Miami
Whoa, riots on the streets of Chicago
On the streets of Long Beach
Mmm, and San Francisco (Boise, Idaho)
Riots on the streets of Kansas City (Salt Lake, Huntington Beach, CA)
Tuscaloosa, Alabama (Arcada, Clarkston, Michigan)
Cleveland, Ohio
Fountain Valley (Texas, Barstow)
Bear Mountain, Victorville
Eugene, Oregon, Eureka, California (let it burn, let it burn)
Hesperia (oh, ya let it burn, won't'cha won't'cha let it burn)
Santa Barbara, Cuyamca, Nevada (let it burn)
Phoenix, Arizona
San Diego, Lakeland, Florida (let it burn)
Fuckin', Twentynine Palms (won't'cha let it burn)

(Any units assist, try 54 Willow at Canton Ave
Structure fire, and numerous subjects looting
10-15 to get ride of this looter
10-4)
