[Intro: Protestor]
~#**************#~
Ima say this and Ima end mine
~#**************#~
If you aint down for the Africans here in the United States
~#**************#~
Period, point-blank
~#**************#~
If you aint down for the ones that suffered in South Africa from apartheid and shit
~#**************#~
Dammit, you need to step your punk-ass to the side
~#**************#~
And let us brothers and us Africans step in
~#**************#~
And start puttin some foot in that ass
~#**************#~
[Bridge: All]
~#**************#~
Break em off somethin, break em off somethin
~#**************#~
Break em off somethin, break em off somethin
~#**************#~
Break em off somethin, break em off somethin
~#**************#~
Break em off somethin, break em off somethin
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Snoop Dogg]
~#**************#~
I got my finger on the trigger, some niggas wonder why
~#**************#~
But livin in the city, its do-or-die
~#**************#~
I got my finger on the trigger, some niggas wonder why
~#**************#~
But livin in the city, its do-or-die
~#**************#~
[Verse 1: Daz Dillinger]
~#**************#~
Dem wonder why mi violent, dem no really understand
~#**************#~
For de reason why mi take mi law in mi own hand
~#**************#~
Mi not out for peace and mi not Rodney King
~#**************#~
De gun goes click, mi gun goes bang
~#**************#~
Dem riot in Compton and dem riot in Long Beach
~#**************#~
Dem riot in L.A. cause dem no really wanna see
~#**************#~
Niggas start to loot and police start to shoot
~#**************#~
Lock us down at seven oclock, barricade us like Beirut
~#**************#~
Mi dont show no love cause its us against dem
~#**************#~
Dem never, ever love me cause its sport to break dem
~#**************#~
And kill, at my own risk, if I may
~#**************#~
To lay, to spray with my AK, and put em to rest
~#**************#~
[Interlude: Reporter]
~#**************#~
Yeah, we have, there have been riots, ah, uh, rioting
~#**************#~
Well, I dont wanna say rioting, but theres been looting downtown
~#**************#~
But right now, Bree, what I want to show you is
~#**************#~
They have started fires down at the end of the street
~#**************#~
[Refrain: All & Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg]
~#**************#~
How many niggas are ready to loot?
~#**************#~
Yeah, so what you wanna do? What you wanna do?
~#**************#~
I said, how many niggas are ready to loot?
~#**************#~
Got myself an Uzi and my brother a 9
~#**************#~
[Interlude: Interviewee]
~#**************#~
Thats what they told us today, “In other words, you still a slave”
~#**************#~
No matter how much money you got, you still aint shit!
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Dr. Dre]
~#**************#~
Sitting in my living room, calm and collected
~#**************#~
Feeling that gotta-get-mine perspective
~#**************#~
‘Cause what I just heard broke me in half
~#**************#~
And half the niggas I know, plus the niggas on the Row is bailing
~#**************#~
Laugh now, but cry much later
~#**************#~
You see, when niggas get together, they get mad cause they cant fade us
~#**************#~
Like my niggas from South Central, Los Angeles
~#**************#~
They found that they couldnt handle us
~#**************#~
Bloods, Crips on the same squad
~#**************#~
With the Eses helpin, nigga, its time to rob and mob
~#**************#~
And break the white man off something lovely, biddy-bye-bye
~#**************#~
I dont love dem so dem cant love me
~#**************#~
Yo, straight puttin it down, gettin my scoot on
~#**************#~
Its jumping off in Compton so I gots to get my loot on
~#**************#~
And come up on me some furniture or somethin
~#**************#~
Got a VCR in the back of my car
~#**************#~
That I ganked from the Slauson Swap Meet
~#**************#~
And motherfuckers better not try to stop me
~#**************#~
‘Cause they will see that I cant be stopped
~#**************#~
‘Cause Ima cock my Glock and pop til they all drop
~#**************#~
[Interlude: Reporter & Reporter 2]
~#**************#~
Yes, on the videotape we seem to have the, uh
~#**************#~
People in the crowd throwing things at the officers
~#**************#~
And swinging at them as well
~#**************#~
As there was a, uh, young woman there, you see, took a swing at—
~#**************#~
At an officer with some object in her hand
~#**************#~
[Refrain: All & Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg]
~#**************#~
How many niggas are ready to loot?
~#**************#~
Yeah, so what you wanna do? What you wanna do?
~#**************#~
I said, how many niggas are ready to loot?
~#**************#~
Got myself an Uzi and my brother a nine
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Snoop Dogg]
~#**************#~
I got my finger on the trigger, some niggas wonder why
~#**************#~
But livin in the city, its do-or-die
~#**************#~
I got my finger on the trigger, some niggas wonder why
~#**************#~
But livin in the city, its do-or-die
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: RBX]
~#**************#~
One-time trigger happy, no nigga love
~#**************#~
One-eighty-seven time, time to grab the glove
~#**************#~
Cant get prints on a nine I throw away
~#**************#~
Or get prints on my Uzi when it spray
~#**************#~
Pop-pop, pop, another motherfucker drop
~#**************#~
And I get relief like, plop, plop, fizz
~#**************#~
Smash, I crashed his head like a window
~#**************#~
I aint Nintendo, Im high off the indo
~#**************#~
Creepin, with the quickness to the cut
~#**************#~
Bust one to his head while he munches on a donut
~#**************#~
And crack-up, so now he best to back up
~#**************#~
I guess I gots to pack up, filling the clip up
~#**************#~
I zip uptown but motherfuckin cops are all around
~#**************#~
Helicopters flyin, these motherfuckers tryin
~#**************#~
To catch me and stretch me on Death Row
~#**************#~
But hell no, the poor blacks refuse to go
~#**************#~
[Interlude: Reporter 2]
~#**************#~
This now covers a very, very wide area of Los Angeles where these fires have been, uh, ignited
~#**************#~
I mean, from here to the, uh, to the south end of South Central is a long way
~#**************#~
[Bridge: All]
~#**************#~
Break em off somethin, break em off somethin
~#**************#~
Break em off somethin, break em off somethin
~#**************#~
Break em off somethin, break em off somethin
~#**************#~
Break em off somethin, break em off somethin
~#**************#~
[Verse 4: Daz Dillinger]
~#**************#~
The outcome of this is destruction, so them all fall
~#**************#~
Niggas dont give a fuck, so them bust and them fall
~#**************#~
The description of three blacks
~#**************#~
Shows no justice, so, pick up its your right
~#**************#~
If you riot again, mi, turn the other cheek
~#**************#~
We, be too many, mi got, mi nine to my side
~#**************#~
So mi bust, flick, cause he dont give a fuck
~#**************#~
And mi dont give a fuck
~#**************#~
And all my problems end with that buck-buck
~#**************#~
[Outro: Snoop Dogg]
~#**************#~
Blam, blam, blam til dem fall
~#**************#~
Listen to the shots from a nigga Doggy Dogg, biddy-bye
~#**************#~
Dr. Dre, him bust gun shots
~#**************#~
Diggidy Daz and RBX, dem bust gun shots
~#**************#~
Come again
