When prejudice, racism and disorder rules the streets
People running, screaming and the city becomes ablaze
Beatings and shootings, gangsters favorite hideaway
One man with a brick put another in a daze
Rioting and vehemence graveling for days
Gangs take over, they think they've got us beat.

Street violence, city comes apart at the seams
Over one man's stupidity no one can see
Killing, raping and pillaging stores a disgrace
Punish the guilty that's certainly the key
Perpetrating violence because of race
In every way necessary or what's deemed.

Stealing and looting all because of a verdict
Disagreeable and disgruntled people run wild
Men, women and children impressed with danger
Vandalism overtakes, so much for the mild
Ball up their fists haul off on a stranger
Crime is a habit the should be kicked.

A man was tried and should be convicted
Now riots break out all over the states
People don't understand cops did their job
Video tape not allowed up for debate
Racism blamed for crime, time they've robbed
Brutal slayings outstanding words said.

Man goes free, now cops sit rotting in jail
The man breaks the law again and runs
Crime pays and the intruder went free
The cops will die after everything is said and done
This is not right or fair, can't they see?
Sentenced to time in prison private hell.
