Ridenhour - robertz - gary g-wiz - depper - mandrill - santiago
I’m countin’ down to the day deservin’
Fittin’ for a king
I’m waitin’ for the time when I can
Get to arizona
’cause my money’s spent on
The goddamn rent
Neither party is mine not the
Jackass or the elephant
20.000 nig niggy nigas in the corner
Of the cell block but they come
From california
Population none in the desert and sun
Wit’ a gun cracker
Runnin’ things under his thumb
Starin’ hard at the postcards
Isn’t it odd and unique?
Seein’ people smile wild in the heat
120 degree
’cause I wanna be free
What’s a smilin’ fact
When the whole state’s racist
Why want a holiday f--k it ’cause I wanna
So what if I celebrate it standin’ on a corner
I ain’t drinkin’ no 40
I b thinkin’ time wit’ a nine
Until we get some land
Call me the trigger man
Looki lookin’ for the governor
Huh he ain’t lovin’ ya
But here to trouble ya
He’s rubbin’ ya wrong
Get the point come along
An he can get to the joint
I urinated on the state
While I was kickin’ this song
Yeah, he appear to be fair
The cracker over there
He try to keep it yesteryear
The good ol’ days
The same ol’ ways
That kept us dyin’
Yes, you me myself and i’ndeed
What he need is a nosebleed
Read between the lines
Then you see the lie
Politically planned
But understand that’s all she wrote
When we see the real side
That hide behind the vote
They can’t understand why he the man
I’m singin’ ’bout a king
They don’t like it
When I decide to mike it
Wait I’m waitin’ for the date
For the man who demands respect
’cause he was great c’mon
I’m on the one mission
To get a politician
To honor or he’s a gonner
By the time I get to arizona
I got 25 days to do it
If a wall in the sky
Just watch me go thru it
’cause I gotta do what I gotta do
Pe number one
Gets the job done
When it’s done and over
Was because I drove’er
Thru all the static
Not stick but automatic
That’s the way it is
He gotta get his
Talin’ mlk
Gonna find a way
Make the state pay
Lookin’ for the day
Hard as it seems
This ain’t no damn dream
Gotta know what I mean
It’s team against team
Catch the light beam
So I pray
I pray everyday
I do and praise jah the maker
Lookin’ for culture
I got but not here
From jah maker
Pushin’ and shakin’ the structure
Bringin’ down the babylon
Hearin’ the sucker
That make it hard for the brown
The hard boulova
I need now
More than ever now
Who’s sittin’ on my freedah’
Opressor people beater
Piece of the pick
We picked a piece
Of land that we deservin’ now
Reparation a piece of the nation
And damn he got the nerve
Another niga they say and classify
We want too much
My peep plus the whole nine is mine
Don’t think I even double dutch
Here’s a brother my attitude hit ’em
Hang ’em high
Blowin’ up the 90s started tickin’ 86
When the blind get a mind
Better start and earn while we sing it
Now
There will be the day we know those down and who will go
