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 ***** power trip to throw me in the joint I feel sorry for you because you're nissing the point You picked the wrong ************ and followed it through Let the hammer of injustice fall on you Lead You have the right to remain silent Was ******** 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
