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
      D                D
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
D          A    G
Finally, we got our own P.A
D               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
D                   A
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
D
They said it was for the black man
         A          G
They said it was for the Mexican, and not for the white man
      D               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   D       A
National Guard, Smoke from all around


Verse 3:
D      A
Let it burn, wanna let it burn
G
Wanna let it burn
D          A
Wanna, wanna let it burn
