Don't Charge Me For The Crime ft. Common

[00:05.55] This is life in this world
[00:08.08] Some things go right
[00:09.74] Some things go wrong
[00:12.56] This is how the world can be
[00:14.25] But we just wanna be free, yeah
[00:19.69] The verdict came in and said I was guilty
[00:23.02] I looked at the judge and said, America built me
[00:25.96] Tried to get rich, but they labeled me filthy
[00:28.97] Only God can touch me, feel me
[00:32.95] Friend calls me at nine o-clock
[00:36.36] Says get the car it's time to rock
[00:39.50] Never hear him speak this way
[00:45.37] Grabbed the keys and hit the road
[00:49.13] It's all a flash, but who would know
[00:52.00] How this story will un-fold
[00:56.27] Don't charge me for the crime
[00:58.75] Wrong place, wrong time
[01:00.92] Don't charge me for the crime
[01:05.10] Wrong place, wrong time
[01:07.25] Don't charge me for the crime
[01:11.71] Friend gets into the car
[01:14.07] With bags filled to the top with loads of cash
[01:18.11] Throws his pistol on the dash
[01:24.46] Says I'm sorry for the crime
[01:27.78] That I've involved you in this time
[01:30.99] You're the only friend I've got
[01:34.17] So don't charge me for the crime
[01:36.80] Wrong place, wrong time
[01:40.23] Don't charge me for the crime
[01:43.61] Wrong place, wrong time
[01:48.01] Don't charge me for the crime
[01:50.18] Start to freak and scream loud
[01:53.30] Just like the females in the crowd
[01:56.65] Thats when he gets in my head
[02:00.05] You can live just like a king
[02:05.45] With everything you've ever needed
[02:09.25] All the dreams of every man
[02:13.08] Don't charge me for the crime
[02:15.52] Wrong place, wrong time
[02:18.02] Don't charge me for the crime
[02:21.74] Wrong place, wrong time
[02:24.99] Don't charge me for the crime
[02:28.03] Sirens sound and my heart was pounding
[02:30.80] I look at my man while cops surround him
[02:34.12] Teams on the scene with no objective
[02:37.13] The American dream can be so deceptive
[02:40.28] Now I see the flashing light
[02:44.27] There goes my future and my life
[02:47.65] Now I've gotta do what's right
[02:51.59] I stop the car and throw the keys
[02:57.03] Out of the window, sets me free
[03:00.47] I throw the pistol in the back
[03:06.56] So I'm out of the car
[03:08.15] Say so you know me well
[03:09.83] I'm going to jail
[03:11.45] I'm not planning on it
[03:14.04] Even when I say
[03:17.00] Won't charge me for the crime
[03:19.76] Wrong place, wrong time
[03:23.07] Don't charge me for the crime
[03:26.51] Wrong place, wrong time
[03:28.58] Don't charge me for the crime
[03:33.25]
