By the Time I Get to Arizona (Arizona Assassination Attempt Acca-Double dub) LyricsI'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 niggy niggy brothas in the corner
Of the cell block but they come from California
Population is 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' face 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 thinkin' time wit' a nine
Until we get some land call me the trigger man
Lookin' for the governor huh he ain't lovin' ya hah
But here to trouble ya he's rubbin' ya wrong
Get the point to 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 You 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 don't understand that's all she wrote
When we see the real side that hide behind the vote
And 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 goner 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 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
Talkin' 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 Jamaica
Pushin' and shakin' the structure bringin' down the Babylon
Hearin' the sucker that make it hard for the brown
The hard boulevard I need now more than ever now
Who's sittin' on my freedom 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 people plus the nine is mine don't think I even double dutch
Here's a brother my attitude is "hit 'em hang 'em high"
I'm blowin' up the 90s started tickin' in 86
When the blind get a mind better start fearin 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...
