Common - Don't charge me for the crime

This is life in this world
Some things go right
Some things go wrong
Just how the world can be
Just wanna be free - Yeah

The verdict came in and said that I was guilty
I looked at the judge "Hey America built me"
Try to get rich but they label me filthy
Only God can judge me, touch me, fill me

My friend calls me at 9 o'clock says
Get the car it's time to rock
Never heard him seem this way
(Lets go man)

I grab the keys and hit the road
Its 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
Filled with loads or cash
Lays his pistol on the dash
Says I'm sorry for the crime
That I 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
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)
Don't charge me

Sirens' sound 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
(They've got us man, 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

Throws me out of the car
He said 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
(Wrong place, wrong time)
Yeah!
Don't charge me for the crime
(Wrong place, wrong time)
Won't charge me

oh

Wrong time
Ha...ha...
Wrong place
Ha...ha...
Wrong time

Don't charge me for the crime
