Talking... to my homeboy Scam. He lives in Watts and he's lived there all his life. You would think that after all the riots and the rest of the turmoil that has happened in this city that the police would change thair attitudes towards people, but he told me how cops conitnually harass people and set people up for no reason. People that live in these ghetto-barrio places can only put up with so much harassment. He had to leave his home because the harassment was too much and jail just for being or living there was not right.

Is this our idea of the law. Is it? NO! But as long as people ahve to live in poverty and flashlights in their faces, the anger will build and it can get worse. More riots will come if things in this system do not change soon.

I wrote fragments of this song about two years before the riots and it's gotten worse over the years. Why can't we learn? 818 about to blast! 213 about to blast! 310 about to blast! LA is not a joke, this place is brutal.
