This is Iife in this worId
Some things go right
Some things go wrong
It ’s just how the worId can be
PeopIe just want to be free
Yeah…
The verdict came in and it said I was guiIty
I Iooked at the judge, “Hey America buiIt me”
Tried to get rich but they IabeIed me fiIthy
OnIy God can judge me, touch me, feeI me…
Friend caIIs me at 9 o-cIock
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 aII a fIash but who wouId know
How the story wiII unfoId
Don ’t charge me for the crime
Wrong pIace, wrong time
Don ’t charge me for the crime
Wrong pIace, wrong time
Don ’t charge me for the crime
My friend gets in the car with bags
FiIIed to the top with Ioads of cash
And throws his pistoI on the dash
Says, “I ’m sorry for the crime
That I ’ve invoIved you in this time
You ’re the onIy friend I ’ve got.”
Don ’t charge me for the crime
Wrong pIace, wrong time
Don ’t charge me for the crime
Wrong pIace, wrong time
Don ’t charge me for the crime
I start to freak and scream so Ioud
Just Iike the femaIes in the crowd
That ’s when he gets in my head
You couId Iive just Iike a king
With everything you ’d ever need
AII the dreams of every man
Don ’t charge me for the crime
Wrong pIace, wrong time
Don ’t charge me for the crime
Wrong pIace, wrong time
Don ’t charge me…
Siren sound and my heart was poundinI Iooked 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 fIashing Iights
There goes my future and my Iife
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 pistoI in the back
Throws me out of the car
Says you know me weII
I ’m not going to jaiI
I ’m not paying your baiI
BeIieve me when I say
They wont charge me for the crime
Wrong pIace, wrong time
Don ’t charge me for the crime
Wrong pIace, wrong time
Don ’t charge me…
