Ozomatli - April 29th 1992 Miami Lyrics

"Disbelief turned to anger"

April 29th, 1992
Riot in LA
Where the fuck was you?
You were sitting home watching Ricki Lake
While I was dropping bombs on that

First spot that we hit was my liquor store
I got 40 years, headed for the door
Woo woo, uh thats the sound of the police
So we step around the corner and we jet with ease

Next spot that we hit was the music shop
It took one slick shot to make that window drop
Finally we got our own PA
Where you think I got this mic that you hearing today? Hey

"All the units, All the units, be on the alert for a Molotov Cocktail"
"All the units, be on the alert for a Molotov Cocktail"

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

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

Well we returned to the pad to unload the stash
It hit me, I need a couch for my brand new pad
Jumped in the air, head to Fedco
It's 1992 so there is no Costco

In the hood, they had it up to here
From Boyle Heights to Lynwood
It gets harder every year
I see kids in the store with they moms and pops
Taking diapers and liters of pop

Uh, they said it was for the black man
For the Mexican
And not for the Gabachos
Eating nachos and Trader Joe's tacos
I'm so cool

Check it,
Yo man, this whole situation ain't about Rodney King
It's about the whole world
The times that we living in
Listening to the world
It's about coming up
Staying on top
And screaming 1-8-7 on a motherfucking cop

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

"Los Angeles is in flames"

"We the jury in the above entitled action, find the defendant Stacy is not guilty of the crime of assault with a deadly weapon"

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

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

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

Let it burn
Wanna let it burn
Wanna let it burn
Wanna wanna let it burn.
