Innocent Man (Not Guilty) (Radio Version)
Did my time (in a) county jail (just when)
Just when things (started) going well (and I)
Paid the price (for the) crimes I did (wanna)
Change my life, (wanna) raise my kids
(I'm an innocent man) misunderstood
(I'm an innocent man) just from the hood
(I'm an innocent man) misunderstood
(I'm an innocent man) a man is good
Promised her (that I) that I'll change (gonna)
Live my life (in a) better way (have a)
Little you (and a), little me (so we)
Can settle down (and live) happily
(I'm an innocent man) misunderstood
(I'm an innocent man) just from the hood
(I'm an innocent man) misunderstood
(I'm an innocent man) a man is good, understood
If everyone else had my eyes, then who I am wouldn't be a surprise
Just 'cause I'm locked up don't mean I'm fucked up in the game
Just a victim of the dirt they tryna throw on my name
Get arrested, but gettin' arrested don't make me guilty
But by the time I make it to court, the media done killed me
Got a good heart, but we all do wrong
I really mean well, but I'm goin' too strong
You say I'm rehabilitated, but I still can't vote (what?)
You say I paid my debt, but I still can't vote (what?)
Gotta pay taxes, but I still can't vote? (C'mon)
Come on, dawg, y'all stay tryin' to keep a nigga broke (right)
You're just as crooked as us, fuck you tryna say?
'Cause once I pay that dough, the charges go away
Forget about it, it's okay
'Cause I'ma walk over here and let the Lord pave my way, aight
Change the life (that I) that I live (got me)
Living fine (living) negative (need to)
Leave the game, game (that is) destroying me (so I)
Pray to God (that He) has mercy
On an innocent man
On an innocent man
On an innocent man
On an innocent man
On an innocent man
On an innocent man
On an innocent man
On an innocent man
On an innocent man
On an innocent man
Just when things (started) going well (and I)
Paid the price (for the) crimes I did (wanna)
Change my life, (wanna) raise my kids
(I'm an innocent man) misunderstood
(I'm an innocent man) just from the hood
(I'm an innocent man) misunderstood
(I'm an innocent man) a man is good
Promised her (that I) that I'll change (gonna)
Live my life (in a) better way (have a)
Little you (and a), little me (so we)
Can settle down (and live) happily
(I'm an innocent man) misunderstood
(I'm an innocent man) just from the hood
(I'm an innocent man) misunderstood
(I'm an innocent man) a man is good, understood

On an innocent man
On an innocent man
On an innocent man
On an innocent man
On an innocent man
On an innocent man
On an innocent man
