By The Time I Get To Arizona

I'm countin' down to the day, deserve a fitting for a king

I'm waitin' for the time when I can get to Arizona

'Cause my money is spent on the goddamn rent

Neither party is mine, not the jackass or the elephant

Twenty thousand niggy-niggy brothers in the corner

Of the cell block, but they come from California

Population is none in the desert and sun

With a gun cracker runnin' things under his thumb

Starin' hard at the postcards, isn't it odd and unique?

Seein' your people smile wild in the heat

A hundred twenty degree 'cause I wanna be free

What's a smilin' face when the whole state's racist?

Why I want a holiday? Dammit, 'cause I wanna

So what if I celebrate it standin' on a corner?

I ain't drinkin' no forty, thinkin' time with a nine

Till we get some land, call me the trigger man

Lookin' for the governor, huh? He ain't lovin' you?

But here the trouble, yeah, he's rubbin' you wrong

Get the point and come along, he can get you 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 old days

The same old ways that kept us dyin'

Yes, you, me, myself, and I, indeed

What he need is a nosebleed

Read between the lines and then you see the lie

Politically planned and understand, that's all she wrote

Will we see the real side that hide behind a 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 mic it, wait

I'm waitin' for the day, for the man who demands respect

'Cause he was great, come on

I'm on a one mission to get a politician to honor

Or he's  a goner by the time I get to Arizona

Well, I got twenty-five 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, well, that's because I drove her

Through all the static, not stick, but automatic

That's the way it is, he got to get his

Talkin' MLK, gonna find a way

Make the state pay, I'm 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 every day, I do and praise Jah the maker

Lookin' for culture I got, but not here for Jamaica

Pushin' and shakin' the structure, bringin' down the Babylon

Hearin' the sucker that made it hard for the brown

The hard boulevard, I need it now more than ever

Now, who's sittin' on my freedom, oppressor? People beater

A piece of the pick, we picked a piece of the land

We're deserving now, reparation, a piece of the nation

Damn, he got the nerve

Another ****, they say, and classify, we want to much

My people plus a 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 nineties, started tickin' in eighty-six

When the blind get a mind, better start fearin' while we sing it now

There will be the day we know whose 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
