Don't Charge Me for the Crime (feat. Common)

This is life in this world

Somethings go right, somethings go wrong

It's just how the world can be

People just wanna be free, yeahThe verdict came in and it said I was guilty

I looked at the judge, hey, America built me

Tried to get rich but they labeled me filthy

Only God can judge me, touch me, fill meMy friend calls me at 9 o'clock

Says, get the car, it's time to rock

Never heard him speak this way

(Let's go, man)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 crimeMy friend gets in the car

With bags filled to the top with loads of cash

(See this paper, man?)

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 gotSo don't charge me for the crime

Wrong place, wrong time

Don't charge me for the crime

Wrong place, wrong time

So don't charge me for the crimeI start to freak and scream so loud

Just like the females in the crowd

That's when he gets in my head

(Come on, man, come on, man, you gotta do this)You could live just like a king

With everything you'd ever need

All the dreams of every manDon'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 meSirens sound and my heart was pounding

I looked at my man as the cops surround him

A team on the scene with no objective

The American dream can be so deceptiveNow I see the flashing lights

There goes my future and my life

Now I've gotta do what's right

(They've got us, man, they got us)I stop the car

And throw the keys out of the window

Sets me free

I throw the pistol in the backI throw him out of the car

I say, you know me well

I'm not going to jail

I'm not paying your bail

Believe me when I sayYou won't charge me for the crime

Wrong place, wrong time

Don't charge me for the crime

Wrong place, wrong time

Don't charge meWrong place, wrong time

Wrong place, wrong time

Don't charge me for the crime
