Like a king, like a king, like a king
Like a king, like a king, like a king
Like the days strung up from the tree
They'll have no mercy a legal lynch mob
So, if you catch yourself
Like a king, like a king, like a king
Like a king, like a king, like a king
Like a king, like a king, like a king
Rodney King, Rodney King, Rodney King
Make sure it's filmed, shown on national TV
How I wish you could help us Dr. King?
Rodney King, Rodney King, Rodney King
Like a king, like a king, like a king
Like a king, like a king, like a king
Look to the past to learn?
The L.A.P.D.
How I wish you could help us Dr. King
Like a king, like a king, like a king
How I wish you could help us Dr. King?
Like a king, like a king, like a king
Rodney King, Rodney King, Rodney King
Bye, bye we must go to see the king
When we will look to the past
Our life don't mean a thing
You better second guess 'coz Martin's dream
Thinking it has changed for the best
Has become Rodney's worst nightmare
Like a king, like a king, like a king
