April 26th, 1992
       A augmentedA               G+G
There was a riot on the streets, tell me, where were you?
    A augmentedA                  G+G
While you were sitting home, watching your TV
       A augmentedA          G+G
While I was participatin' in some anarchy
A augmentedA               G+G
First spot we hit it was my liquor store
A augmentedA             G+G
I finally got all that alcohol I can't afford
   A augmentedA          G+G
With red lights flashing, time to retire
      D MajorD                D MajorD
And then we turned that liquor store into a structure fire

A augmentedA              G+G
Next stop we hit it was the music shop
    A augmentedA              G+G
It only took one brick to make that window drop
D MajorD          A augmentedA    G+G
Finally, we got our own P.A
D MajorD               A augmentedA             G+G
Where do you think I got this guitar that you're hearing today? Hey
A augmentedA           G+G
Homicide, never doin' no time


Verse 2:
     A augmentedA              G+G
When we returned to the pad to unload everything
  A augmentedA                 G+G
It dawned on me that I need new home furnishings
  A augmentedA                G+G
So, once again, we filled the van until it was full
D MajorD                   A augmentedA
Since that day, my living room's been much more comfortable
A augmentedA                    G+G
'Cause everybody in the hood has had it up to here
       A augmentedA               G+G
It's getting hotter, and hotter and harder, each and every year
   A augmentedA                G+G
Some kids went in a store with their mother
 A augmentedA                 G+G
I saw her when she came out, she was getting some Pampers
D MajorD
They said it was for the black man
         A augmentedA          G+G
They said it was for the Mexican, and not for the white man
      D MajorD               A augmentedA
But if you look at the street, it wasn't about Rodney King
     G+G               D MajorD
And this fucked up situation, and these fucked up police
   A augmentedA          G+G
It's about coming up and staying on top
        D MajorD    A augmentedA       G+G
And screaming, "187 on a motherfuckin' cop"
D MajorD                 A augmentedA
It's not in the paper, it's on the wall
     G+G   D MajorD       A augmentedA
National Guard, Smoke from all around

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