Mistaken Identity





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



Chorus 2x
