  • I guess I'm guilty 'til proven innocent
    And I'll be gone before they know what I hit em' with
    And this predicament is pure coincidence
    Oh brother here comes another incident (x2)

    And if you're innocent, let me see you two step
    Come on, let me see you two step (x2)

    Slam the gavel Judge Judy got a grudge
    Interrogating me for days on end and I won't budge
    I'm on some Eddie Murphy raw "baby it wasn't me" shiz
    Wrong place, wrong time, I was there but I didn't see shit
    And you can throw the book at me and I'ma throw it right back
    Slap the district attorney and ask him "how you like that? "
    Then I'ma jump in front of the jury like my life is in your hands
    Then break each and all their fingers just to make 'em understand
    This is obviously a case of mistaken identity
    Plus this face is too pretty to be in a penitentiary
    Paranoid like Chris and Snoop was out to kill me
    Walkin' on a thin wire, why they tryin' to Marlo Stanfield me?

    I guess I'm guilty 'til proven innocent
    And I'll be gone before they know what I hit em' with
    And this predicament is pure coincidence
    Oh brother here comes another incident (x2)

    And I think it went down like this
    All I remember was the studio, next thing you know everything goes black
    I woke up in the back of a squad car
    Handcuffed until they threw my ass behind bars
    I never claimed to be an angel, I just makin' music
    Something a little different you can bob your head to it
    If that's crime, then fuck it, I'll do the time
    But they tryin' to give me twenty five to life for every line
    Go ahead and lock me up, throw away the key
    But just imagine the monster you gonna make of me
    And the moment that we all feared
    Guilty on all charges for the dopest album of the year!

    I guess I'm guilty 'til proven innocent
    And I'll be gone before they know what I hit em' with
    And this predicament is pure coincidence
    Oh brother here comes another incident (x2)

    I guess I'm guilty 'til proven innocent
    And I'll be gone before they know what I hit em' with
    And this predicament is pure coincidence
    Oh brother here comes another incident (x2) Writer/s: DISASHI LUMUMBA-KASONGO, MATTHEW MCGINLEY, PATRICK STUMP, TRAVIS MCCOY
