I Realize I Will Always Be The

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 Had To Learn To Forgive. I Couldn't Sleep At Night. I Got Ulcers. I Had To Let Go, To Let God Deal With It. No One Wants To Be Mad In Their Own House. I Didn't Want To Be Angry My Whole Life. It Takes So Much Energy Out Of You To Be Mean.

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.

I Realize I Will Always Be The Poster Child For Police Brutality, But I Can Try To Use That As A Positive Force For Healing And Restraint.

As A Black Man, You Run From The Cops. It's Different Now, But Back When I Was Coming Up, You Run.
