This is life in this world
Some things go right
Some things go wrong
It's just how the world can be
People want to be free
Yeah...
The verdict came in and it said I was guilty
I looked at the judge, "Hey America built me
Tried to get rich but they label me filtthy
Only God can judge me, touch me, feel me
My friend calls me at 9oclock
says get the car it's time to rock
never heard him speak this way
i grab the keys and hit the road
it's all a flash but who would know
how the story would unfold
don't charge me for the crime
wrong place wrong time
don't charge me for the crime
wrong place wrong time
don't charge me for the crime
my friend gets in the card with bags
filled to the top with loads of cash
and throws his pistol on the dash
says i'm sorry for the crime
that i've involved you in thin this time
you're the only friend I got
don't charge me for the crime
wrong place wrong time
don't charge me for the crime
wrong place wrong time
don't charge me for the crime
I start to freak and scream so bad
just like the females in the crow
thats when he gets in my head
you could live just like a king
wish everything you'd ever need
all the dreams of every man
don't charge me for the crime
wrong place wrong time
don't charge me for the crime
wrong place wrong time
don't charge me for the crime
siren sound and my head was pounding
i looked at my man as the cops surround him
a teen on the scene with no objective
The american dream can be so deceptive
now i see the flashing lights
there goes my future and my life
now i've got to do what's right
i stop the car and throw the keys
out of the window sets me free
i throw the pistol in the back
throws me out of the car
you know me well
i'm not going to jail
i'm not paying your bail
believe me when i say
they won't charge me for the crime
don't charge me for the crime
wrong place wrong time
don't charge me for the crime
wrong place wrong time
don't charge me for the crime
