Burnin' in L.A. |
| Just look at the people |
| Whoa just look at the peoples I got over here |
| I said just look at the people |
| Just look at the peoples I got over here |
| You know a little sixteen-year-old girl come to me talked and said Lightnin' |
| Would you take me for your souvenir? |
| You know they had a big fire down in L. A |
| All them buildings is burnin' down |
| Oh they had a big fire down in L. A |
| (well in Beverly Hills or somewhere a little close) |
| All them buildings is burnin' down |
| You know they was lookin' for the fire trucks |
| And in time none of 'em would come around |
| (Po' children were runnin' and cryin'… |
| They couldn’t help themselves, they was talkin' too…) |
| You gotta get this lesson, children |
| You gotta get it from the book |
| Talkin' about the things you buy raw |
| Them is things you gotta cook |
| Mama say she was hungry |
| Round about ten o’clock |
| That was the time the world |
| Was beginnin' to get on a rock |
| That was the burnin' down in L. A |
| All them buildings was burnin' down |
| Well you know they didn’t have enough water to put out the fire |
| 250-some home they got burnin' down |
