lyrics:
(Verse 1)
In the L.A. heat, where the streets stay live,
Night Stalker running, trying to survive,
City on edge, fear in the air,
But today’s the day, he’s gonna face the stare.
(Chorus)
East L.A. streets, neighbors on the rise,
United and strong, under city skies,
Found in the store, nowhere to run,
Night Stalker caught, his time is done.
(Verse 2)
Storefront to sidewalk, trying to flee,
Faces in the crowd, he didn't want to see,
Recognition hit, the chase began,
L.A. folks, they had a plan.
(Chorus)
East L.A. streets, neighbors on the rise,
United and strong, under city skies,
Found in the store, nowhere to run,
Night Stalker caught, his time is done.
(Verse 3)
He thought he could run, thought he could hide,
But the city of angels got justice on their side,
From East L.A. blocks to the neighborhoods tight,
They came together, ready to fight.
(Chorus)
East L.A. streets, neighbors on the rise,
United and strong, under city skies,
Found in the store, nowhere to run,
Night Stalker caught, his time is done.
(Verse 4)
Police on the way, but the people stood tall,
No more terror, they answered the call,
He tried to escape, but the end was near,
L.A. strong, no room for fear.
(Chorus)
East L.A. streets, neighbors on the rise,
United and strong, under city skies,
Found in the store, nowhere to run,
Night Stalker caught, his time is done.
(Bridge)
Metal bar swinging, courage in hand,
Community strong, making a stand,
Evil caught, no more fear,
L.A. pride, the end is near.
(Chorus)
East L.A. streets, neighbors on the rise,
United and strong, under city skies,
Found in the store, nowhere to run,
Night Stalker caught, his time is done.
(Outro)
City’s heartbeat, strong and loud,
Pride and courage, they stood proud,
Night Stalker’s end, a victory shout,
L.A. united, no doubt, no doubt.
Never Rest in Peace Richard!
