The Lyrics
R.I.P. RK (1965-2012)
Rodney King
Was speeding
High-speed chase
Harsh beating
Beat him down
To the ground
Broke his bones
To “Nigger” sounds
Racist clowns
Beat ‘em down
Hands raised high, then
Curled on the ground
Rodney King
Was speeding
High-speed chase
Harsh beating
Was bleeding and bleeding…
Life was fleeting…
Caught by camcorder
What law and order?
LAPD chaotic disorder
Racist pigs intent on murder
Acquitted on the charges
Black folks spoke out in marches
That cruel beating is what sparked it
LA neighborhoods blazed like torches
Cause of looting and the shootings
Outrage was there no disputing
King then entered his TV plea
“Can’t we all get along? Please?”
Rodney King
Was speeding
High-speed chase
Harsh beating
Was bleeding and bleeding…
Life was fleeting…
But King survived the ordeal
Won civil case, went back to normal
Normal as he could be
But traumatized naturally
He went through a lot of cash
Bad habits came right back
But he found rehab cool
Bets thing he had was his pool
And that is where his body lay
Decades later, drowned one day
He wasn’t perfect, he’d often say
But his loss is our tragedy
Rodney King
Was speeding
High-speed chase
Harsh beating
Was bleeding and bleeding…
Life was fleeting…
Peace Brother, your life had meaning…
Was speeding
High-speed chase
Harsh beating
Beat him down
To the ground
Broke his bones
To “Nigger” sounds
Racist clowns
Beat ‘em down
Hands raised high, then
Curled on the ground
Rodney King
Was speeding
High-speed chase
Harsh beating
Was bleeding and bleeding…
Life was fleeting…
Caught by camcorder
What law and order?
LAPD chaotic disorder
Racist pigs intent on murder
Acquitted on the charges
Black folks spoke out in marches
That cruel beating is what sparked it
LA neighborhoods blazed like torches
Cause of looting and the shootings
Outrage was there no disputing
King then entered his TV plea
“Can’t we all get along? Please?”
Rodney King

He wasn’t perfect, he’d often say

Rodney King

Harsh beating
Was bleeding and bleeding…
