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'

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
