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, brothers 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 damn it 'cause I wanna
So what if I celebrate it standin' on a corner
I ain't drinkin' no 40, I be thinkin' time wit' a nine
'Til we get some land, call me the trigger man
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, he can get to the joint
I urinated on the state, while I was kickin' this song
Yeah, he appear to be fair, the sucker 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 indeed
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
Well, I got 25 days to do it
If a wall in the way, just watch me go through 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
Through 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
A 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
I'm 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, go, go, go, go
By the time I get to Arizona
By the time I get to Arizona
By the time I get to Arizona
