Burnin In La lyrics

Just look at the people
Whoa just look at the peoples I got over here
I said just look at the people
Just look at the peoples I got over here
You know a little sixteen-year-old girl come to me talked and said Lightnin`,
Would you take me for your souvenir?

You know they had a big fire down in L.A.
All them buildings is burnin` down
Oh they had a big fire down in L.A.
(well in Beverly Hills or somewhere a little close)
All them buildings is burnin` down
You know they was lookin` for the fire trucks
And in time none of `em would come around

(Po` children were runnin` and cryin`...
They couldn`t help themselves, they was talkin` too...)

You gotta get this lesson, children
You gotta get it from the book
Talkin` about the things you buy raw
Them is things you gotta cook
Mama say she was hungry
Round about ten o`clock
That was the time the world
Was beginnin` to get on a rock

That was the burnin` down in L.A.
All them buildings was burnin` down
Well you know they didn`t have enough water to put out the fire
250-some home they got burnin` down
