(I'ma say this and I'ma end mine
|
If you ain't down, for the Africans here
|
in the United States, period point blank..
|
If you ain't down for the ones that suffered in South Africa
|
from apartheid and shit
|
Devil you need to step your punk ass to the side

and let us brothers, and us Africans, step in
|
and start puttin some FOOT, in that ass!!)

Dem riot in Compton and dem riot in Long Beach
|
Dem riot in L.A. cause dem no really wanna see
|

|
Lock us down at seven o'clock, barricades us like Beirut
|
Me don't show no love cause it's us against dem
|
Dem never ever love me cause it's sport to break dem
|
and kill, at my own risk, if I may
|
to lay, to spray, with my AK, and put it to rest

(That's what they told us today
|
In other words, you still a slave
|
No matter how much money you got, you still ain't shit)
|
|
[Dr. Dre]
|
Sittin in my living room, calm and collected
|
Feelin that gotta-get-mine perspective
|
cause what I just heard, broke me in half
|
and half the niggaz I know, plus the niggaz on the Row is bailin
|
Laugh now but cry much later
|
Ya see when niggaz get together
|
they get mad cause they can't fade us
|
Like my niggaz from South Central, Los Angeles
|
They found that they couldn't handle us
|
Bloods, Crips on the same squad
|
with the Ese's help and nigga it's time to rob and mob
|
(And break the white man off somthin lovely, biddy-bye-bye
|
I don't love dem so dem can't love me)
|
Yo, straight puttin it down gettin my scoot on
|
It's jump in off in Compton so I gots to get my loot on
|
and come up on me some furniture or somethin
|
Got a VCR, in the back of my car
|
that I ganked from the Slausson Swap Meet
|
And motherfuckers better not try to stop me
|
Cause they will see that I can't be stopped
|
cause I'ma cock my Glock and pop til they all drop
|
|
Interlude: (*female reporter, then male reporter*)
|
|
(Yes on the videotape we seem to have the
|
ahh, people in the crowd throwing things at the officers)
|
|
(And swinging at them as well, as a result
|
A young woman there, you see took a swing
|

|
|
[All]How many niggaz are ready to move?
|
[Snoop] Yeah, so what you wanna do?

"Got myself a Uzi and my brother a 9" --> KRS-One
|
|
Chorus
|
|
[RBX]
|
One-Time trigger happy, no nigga love
|
One-eighty-seven time, time to grab the glove
|
Can't get prints on a nine I throw away
|
or get prints on my Uzi when it spray
|
POP POP, POP, another motherfucker drop
|
And I get relief like, "plop plop fizz"
|
Smash, I crashed his head like a window
|
I ain't Nintendo, I'm high off the indo
|
Creepin, with the quickness, to the cut
|
Bust, one to his head, while he munches on a donut
|
and crack-up, so now he best to back up
|
I guess I gots to pack up, filling, the clip up
|
I zip up-town, but motherfuckin cops are all around
|
Helicopters flyin, these motherfuckers tryin
|
to catch me and stretch me on Death Row
|
But hell no, suppose black refuse to go??
|
|
Interlude: (*male reporter*)
|
|
(This is now coverin a very, very wide area of Los Angeles
|
where these fires have been, aah, ignited
|
I mean, from here to the, aah
|
to the South end of South Central is a long way
|
|
"Break 'em off somethin" (repeat 8X)

[Daz]
|
The outcome of this is destruction, so them all fall
|
Niggaz don't give a fuck, so them bust and them fall
|
The, description of three blacks
|
shows no justice, so, pick up it's your right
|
If you riot again, me, turn the other cheek
|
We, be too many, me got, me nine to my side
|
So me bust, flick, cause he don't give a fuck
|
and me don't give a fuck
|
And all my problems end with that BUCK BUCK
|
|
[Snoop Doogy Dogg]
|
Blak blam, blam til dem fall
|

|

|

|
