Once upon a time a king had a dream |
|
Then three L.A. cops made another king scream |
|
The Crips and the Boods said enough is enough |
|
Where's the peace and love when the going gets tough |
|
California screaming |
|
While America's dreaming |
|
California screaming |
|
While America's screaming california screaming |
|
While America's screaming |
|
The haves have it all, the have nots have not |
|
Did you hear about the teen queen stopped by a shot |
|
Lying on the sidewalk dressed up in blood |
|
A quiet L.A. evening in the summer of love |
|
California screaming |
|
While America's dreaming |
|
California screaming |
|
While America's screaming california screaming |
|
While America's screaming |
|
The boy in the hood says he's only thirteen |
|
Chained up in gold but he thinks that he's free |
|
The price of his future is measured in grammes |
|
Weighing him down in the city of the damned |
|
California screaming |
|
While America's dreaming |
|
California screaming |
|
While America's screaming california screaming |
|
While America's screaming |
|
I want justice |
|
I have been so blind to all the heartache and crying |
|
All alone in my room |
|
I never knew that you could be so cruel |
|
'tho your cheatings gonna be your doom |
