We need peace in l.a., what happened was wrong

We all feel betrayed, but we got to be strong

If the powers that be let evil go free

You must understand, don't play into their hand



We need peace in l.a., peace in l.a.



Don't need beating and shouting, don't need burning and looting

Tonight we all pray, that our children are safe

There's hurt and frustration, there's a hard realization

But how can we help if we steal from ourselves?



We need peace in l.a., peace in l.a.

We need peace in l.a., peace in l.a.



Stay cool, don't be a fool

Stay cool, don't be a fool
