This is life in this world

Some things go right

Some things go wrong

It's just how the world can be

People just want to 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 9 o'clock

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 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 crime

My friend gets in the car with bags

Filled to the top with loads of cash

And throws his pistol on the dash

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

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, uh, yeah

Don't charge me for the crime

Wrong place wrong time, you know, uh

Don't charge me...

Siren 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

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

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

Don't charge me for the crime

Wrong place wrong time

Don't charge me...

Wrong place wrong time

Don't charge me for the...

Crime
