Lyrics

(Reporter speaks) 100 degrees at midnight for the third day in row Nobody's sleepin' well and I can feel the tension growin' LA with rollin' brownouts, rollin' papers and rollin' sixties Heat exhaustion increasing caution across the city Some people hit the mall, they're tryin' to stay cool Some people call the cops; "there's black children in the pool" Everybody's lookin' sideways, we're ragin' on the highways I hate it, I'm tryin' to stay hydrated and faded but my way Is blocked by road construction like a scene from "Falling Down" Cops, they tryin' to function but it seems they takin' down us Brown people at will, people get hot and then killed As the sun begins to set it's hotter, no-one can chill Everybody's windows open there's not a moment of silence Alcohol heatin' frustration that's increasing domestic violence 9-1-1 is overwhelmed, homie, guess you on your own The hills are still on fire, I recommend you stay at home We got a heatwave This burn, it's like a heatwave Heatwave, burn it's like a heatwave The heatwave, burn it's like a heatwave It's like a heatwave Now, Thes, man check this out Karma's a bitch and so is LA Crime always matters, but my rhyme pays I'm drinkin' ice tea, might splash a little in it Down the block they said the little homie did it I hope he didn't, 'cause it's hot out here Seen the worse of the heat, yet I have no fear We blastin' P. E. in front of the enemy From the days of Tom Bradley, y'all consider me The owner of raptivity(?), known for bad activity 'Cause people they be pissin' me, and I'm off the stage Pull out the steely dan, make your leg a peg Nah, I'm just jokin', chokin' on a smokin' provokin' Good vibes, good rhymes and such Put on your visor with the tinted green in it Yo, it's hot, B No, it's hot, G Yo, it's hot, B And we watch the record spin Heatwave Burn, it's like a heatwave Heatwave, burn it's like a heatwave It's like a heatwave, burn it's like a heatwave Heatwave (News report) I mean, I don't know what's going on, yeah I mean I pay the bills, I don't know why it's not working Uhm, try it again! Alright, go! Testing, 1, 2, 3
