Don't Charge Me For The Crime

*Police talk*



This is life in this world

Some things go right, some things go wrong

It's just how the world can be

People just wanna 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 filthy

Only God can judge me, touch me, feel me,



My friend calls me at nine o'clock

Says, "Get the car, it's time to rock."

Never heard him speak this way

(Way, way)



Let's go man



I grab the keys and hit the road

It's all a flash, but who would know

How this 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 car with bags

Filled to the top with loads of cash

(See this paper right here?)

And throws his pistol on the dash

(Yeah, it's time to get money now)



Says, "I'm sorry for the crime

That I've involved you in this time,

You're the only friend I've got"

So 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 loud

Just like the females in the crowd

That's when he gets in my head

(Head, head)



(Come on man, we gotta do this)



You could live just like a king

With 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, you know

Don't charge me



Sirens sound and

My heart was poundin'

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 gotta do what's right

(Right, right)



(Oh, man, they've got us, they've got us)



I stop the car and throw the keys

Out of the window, sets me free

I throw the pistol in the back

(Back, back)



(Ah, ah, ah)



I throw him out of the car, I say,

"You know me well,

I'm not goin' to jail

I'm not paying your bail

Believe me when I say...

They won't charge me for the crime"



Wrong place, wrong time (yeah)

Don't charge me for the crime

Wrong place, wrong time

Won't charge me! Ohh



Wrong place,

Wrong time

Wrong place,

Wrong time



They won't charge me for the...

Crime
