Rodney King’s Blessing

Lyrics

[Chorus] People, can we all get along? Can we all get along? People you know we're all stuck here for a while Let's try to work it out (Try that with me—People) People (Can we all) can we all get along? (Can we) Can we all get along? People you know we're all stuck here for a while (Let's try) Let's try to work it out [Verse 1] People, I just want to say you know can we get along? Can we all get along? Can we stop making it, making it hard For the older people and the kids? I mean we've got enough smog here in Los Angeles Let alone to get killed setting these fires and things It's just not right, it's not right It's not going to change anything We'll get our justice [Chorus] People, (Can we) can we all get along? Can we all get along? (People you know) People you know we're all stuck here for a while (Let's try) Let's try to work it out [Verse 2] They've won the battle but they haven't won the war We'll have our day in court, that's all we want I love, I'm neutral, I love people of every color I'm not like they're making me out to be We've got to quit, I mean I could understand The first two hours after the verdict But to go on like this To see that security guard shot on the ground It's just not right because those people Will never go home to their families again [Chorus] People, can we all get along? Can we all get along? People you know we're all stuck here for a while Let's try to work it out (We can) People (We can) we can all get along We can all get along People you know we're all stuck here for a while Let's try to work it out Let's try to work it out
