By The Time I Get To Arizona Chords by Public Enemy

[B] I know that you've heard all kinds of stories about me.
That I am a racist.
_ That I am a supporter of the KKK.
_ _ _ That I am against civil rights.
_ [N] _ All because I oppose the Martin Luther King holiday.
_ But I am opposed to the holiday,
and I will stay opposed to it as long as I am in office.
[B] _ _
_ _ [N] And as long as there are city officials that agree with me,
there will be no holiday in this state. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I'm traveling west to hit _ _ _ _ _ Kingsburg today. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [N] _
Show them what you got. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ _ [Eb] I'm [Bb] [Fm] downtown to the day to serve a fitting for a king.
I'm waiting for the time when I can ship to Arizona to where money is spent.
All the goddamn rent, neither party is mine.
Not the [C] jackass or the [Fm] elephant.
20,000 Nikki Nikki brothers in [F] the corner of the cell block.
But they cover California, population is [Fm] none.
In the desert and sun, with a gun cracking, running things under a thumb.
Staring hard at the postcards.
Isn't it odd and unique to see a people smile while in a heat of 120 degrees.
Cause I want to be free.
What's a smiling face when the whole state's racist?
Why on a holiday?
Damn it, cause I want to.
So if I celebrate this thing and on the corner I ain't drinking no 40.
Think it's time for the night, till we get some leg on me.
The trigger [F] man, looking for the [Fm] governor.
Huh, he ain't loving you hot, but he'll be trouble.
[F] Yucky's rubbing you wrong, get the boy to come along.
He can get you the joint.
I urinated on the state while I was kicking his [Fm] saw.
Yeah, he appear to be fair.
The sucker over there, he [F] tried to keep me [Eb] yesterday.
The [F] good old days, the same old ways that kept us dying.
ASU, me, myself and [Fm] I at D.
What he need is a nosebleed, be between the lines.
Cause if you see the lie, politically planned.
Don't understand, that's all she wrote.
When we see the real side, they hide behind our vote.
And they can't understand why he the man, of [Db] singing about a king.
They don't [F] like it when [Bb] I decide to [Fm] make it.
Wait, I'm waiting for the day, for the man who demands respect.
Cause he was great, come on, I'm on a one mission.
Forget a politician [F] to honor.
Oh, he's a donor by the time I [Bbm] 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.
DE number one, gets the job done.
When it's done and over, it's because I drove her.
Through all the static, I stick with automatic.
That's the way it is, you gotta get.
He's talking MLK, gonna find a way.
Make the same pay I'm looking for all the day.
Hard as it seems, this ain't no day I dreamed.
Gotta know what I mean, it's team against team.
[A] Catch the light [B] beam, [F] so I pray.
I pray every day, I [Bb] do embrace all [F] the maker.
Looking for [Bb] culture I got, but not here for the [F] maker.
Pushing and [Fm] shaking the structure, bringing down the Babylon.
Hearing the [Bb] sweat, but I make it hard for [Fm] the crowd.
The heart's full of what I needed now, more than ever now.
Who's spitting on my freedom oppressor?
People beater, a piece of the flip.
We picked up piece of the land, we're surfing now.
Reformation, a piece of the nation, damn, he got [Bb] the nerve.
[Fm] Another nigga, they say it, classify, we want [Eb] too much.
My people bust [Fm] tonight, his mind don't think I even doubled up.
Here's the problem, my attitude is hit him, hang him high.
I'm blowing up, the 90s started [Eb] ticking in [F] 86.
When I'm flying, hear the mind of the stuff here.
And while we're singing now, there will be the late.
We know [Eb] who's down and who will [Fm] go, go, go, go, go.
_ By the time I [F] get to Arizona.
[Fm] _ _
_ [Cm] [Bb] By the time I [Fm] get to Arizona. _
By [Bb] the time I [F] get to Arizona.
[Fm] _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Fm] By the time I get to Arizona.
