I Saw My Hometown Burning That Day.

You Know, Before When (the Police Went) To Work, They Used To Be Like, 'i'm Gonna Kick Somebody's Ass Today And So I Hope I Can Catch Somebody In A Bad Situation Or Breaking The Law, Because I'm Gonna Beat Someone's Ass In A Big Way, I Think That Attitude Has Changed.

I Saw My Hometown Burning That Day.

When I Leave Here, When My Final Day On This Earth Is Up, I Want To Leave In Peace. I Want To Have Peace In My Heart.

For A Long Time, Sure, I Was Letting The Pressure Of Being Rodney King Get To Me. It Ain't Easy. Even Now, I Walk Into A Place Wondering, 'what People Are Thinking? Do They Know Who I Am? What Do They Think About What Happened? Do They Blame Me For The All Those People Who Died?'

Over The Years, A Lot Of Rappers - Lil' Wayne, Ice Cube - Have Used My Name In Their Songs. I'm A Real Touchstone Of History.
