Waking Up Sober Is A Good Day.

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.

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?'

It's Happening Right Now... It's Just Not On Film, It's Not Being Recorded.

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 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.
