Looking through these bars and wondering why I'm here Accused of a crime I did not commit and the police make nothing clear Stripped of my rights by the words of another Locked in a cell with my victimized brothers In this country, the land of the free I'm an innocent man arrested guilty
I stand accused, innocent of the crime Not yet been sentenced but I'm already doing time
Chorus:
Mistaken identity, handcuffed face down Mistaken identity, my freedom gagged and bound
Surrounded by convicted felons, locked down in this cell What did I ever do to earn this living hell Busted by cops in need of a collar Eating donuts four to twelve to earn their dollar In this country, the land of the free I am an innocent man arrested guilty
The criminal justice system plagued with dishonesty They should judge themselves instead of crucifying me
Chorus
A pussy power trip to throw me in the joint I feel sorry for you because you're nissing the point You picked the wrong motherfucker and followed it through Let the hammer of injustice fall on you
Lead
You have the right to remain silent Was bullshit the he said Put your hands where I can see them Make one move and you're dead
Chorus
To fill a quota and treat my life Like a number or a statistic make once innocent youth outraged Angry and ballistic
