Public Enemy - By The Time I Get To Arizona lyrics

Your rating:
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
