By The Time I Get To Arizona (The Molemen Mixx)

(Album: Revolverlution - 2002)

I'm counting down to the day deserving
Fitting for a king
I'm waiting 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 brothers in the corner
Of the cell block but they come
From California
Population is none in the desert and sun
Wit' a gun cracker
Running things under his thumb

Staring hard at the postcards
Isn't it odd and unique?
Seeing people smile wild in the heat
120 degree
'Cause I wanna be free
What's a smiling face
When the whole state's racist?

Why want a holiday? Damn it, 'cause I wanna!
So what if I celebrate it standing on a corner
I ain't drinking no 40
Thinking time wit' a nine
Until we get some land
Call me the trigger man

Looking for the governor
Huh, he ain't loving ya
But here to trouble ya
He's rubbing ya wrong
Get the point come along
He can get to the joint
I urinated on the state
While I was kicking 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 dying
Yes, you me myself and 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

And they can't understand why he the man
I'm singing 'bout a king
They don't like it
When I decide to mic it
Wait I'm waiting 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...

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
Be number one
Gets the job done

When it's done and over
Was because I drove her
Through all the static
Not stick but automatic
That's the way it is
He gotta get his
Talking MLK
Gonna find a way
Make the state pay

I'm looking 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
Looking for culture
I got but not here
From Jamaica
Pushing and shaking the structure
Bringing down the Babylon
Hearing the sucker
That make it hard for the brown

The hard boulevard
I need it now
More than ever now
Who's sitting on my freedah'
Oppressor, people beater
Piece of the pick
We picked a piece
Of land we deserving 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 whole nine is mine
Don't think I even double dutch
Here's a brother, my attitude has hit 'em
Hang 'em high
I'm blowing up the 90s, started ticking 86

When the blind get a mind
Better start and earn while we sing it now
There will be the day we know who's down and who will go, go, go...

By the time I get to Arizona...
By the time I get to Arizona...
For he's a gonner by the time I get to Arizona...
By the time I get to Arizona
