This is life in this world
Some things go right
Some things go wrong
Just how the world can be
People just wanna be free, yeah
The verdict came in and 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, feel me
Friend calls me at nine o-clock
Says, get the car, it's time to rock
Never heard him speak this way
(Lets go man)
I grabbed the keys and hit the road
It's all a flash, but who would know
How this story will 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
Friend gets into 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 got
So 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 crime
I start to freak and scream loud
Just like the females in the crowd
That's when he gets in my head
(Come on man, you've gotta do this)
You can 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
Don't charge me for the crime
Sirens sound and my heart was pounding
I look at my man as the cops surround him
Teams on the scene with no objective
The American dream can be so deceptive
Now I see the flashing light
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 back
So I'm out of the car
I say, you know me well
I'm not going to jail
I'm not planning on it
Believe me when I say
You 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 me
Wrong place, wrong time
Wrong place, wrong time
Don't charge me for the crime
