Looking through these bars and wondering why i'm here
accused of a crime i did not commit and the police make nothing
clear
stipped 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 ver 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 throw me in the joint
i feel sorry for you because you're missing the point
you picked the wrong motherfucker and followed it through
let the hammer of injustice fall on you
[lead]
You have right to remain silent
was the bullshit that 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]
