You should've been downtown Yeah
The people are risin' Yeah
We thought it
was a lockdown What
They opened the fire Damn
Them bullets was flyin' Ooh
Who said it was a lockdown
Goddamn lie
Oh my
Time heals all
but you out of time now Now
Judge gotta watch us
from the clock tower True
Lil' tear gas cleared
the whole place out
I'll be back with the hazmat
for the next round
We was tryna protest
then the fires broke out
Look out for the secret agents
they be planted in the crowd
Said It's civil unrest
but you sleep so sound
Like you don't hear the screams
when we catchin' beatdowns
Stayin' quiet when they killin'
niggas but you speak loud
When we riot got opinions
comin' from a place of privilege
Sicker than the COVID
how they did him on the ground
Speakin' of the COVID
is it still goin' around
And won't you tell me
'bout the lootin'
What's that really all about
'Cause they throw away
black lives like paper towels
Plus unemployment rate
what forty million now
Killed a man in broad day
might never see a trial
We just wanna break chains
like slaves in the South
Started in the North End
but we in the downtown
Riot cops tried to block
now we got a showdown
Citizens of Los Angeles Down
I hereby declare this
to be an unlawful assembly
And in the name of the people
of the State of California
You should've been downtown
Command all those assembled
The people are risin' Right here
We thought it was a lockdown
They opened the fire Ooh
Them bullets was flyin'
Lockdown we ain't gotta stop
because they tell us to
Who said it was a lockdown
Goddamn lie
And downtown
where I got popped
with the rubber bullet
Tre pound got it
in my name now
I'ma shoot it
Uh okay
Never understand why they do it
Someone cut the channel
off the news
'fore I lose it Nah
I ain't even trippin'
if you wit' it
then we lootin' Nah
Help me put this Louis
in the back of Suzuki Ooh

Had to break it down
so smoothly Smooth
They gon' say
It's not about race
but we movin' Fuckin'

Copped the tre pound

Wish a nigga play now Yeah
Any given day I'll be headed
to the pulpits Yeah
Say a lil' prayer matter fact
I need two of 'em ooh
Won't he do it Won't he do it
Ooh this ain't '92
so we into new rules
Niggas got hip
so we don't loot the projects
'Bout to hit Rodeo

Someone threw a whole brick
