By The Time I Get To Arizona |
| 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 Fuck 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 nigga 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 |
