Intro:
My tears all gone and my hearts grown cold
You got the the wrong man
Verse:
For 12 long years you've been locked away
Man, It really hit home on my jog today
I imagine at this point you feel washed away
Innocent, while the real perpetrator got away
I know it's frustrating cuz even when I asked
I was met with death threats and verbally harassed
By my own family, that I haven't grasped
What's the truth that y'all don't want to seem be unmasked
I'll be honest, I didn't have the knowledge
Back when I was only a freshman attеnding college
Now I'm aware of your injusticе, they're trynna hold you hostage
Spread your story through this song in hopes of bringing you some solace
Free Curtis Davis Jr, maybe you heard of Curtis Flowers
Both found guilty by the same old powers
Abusing their authority, bunch of fraudulent cowards
It's time we start taking back what's rightfully ours
Hook:
My tears all gone
And my hearts grown cold
From the fears that I already know
You got the wrong man
Verse:
It was around winter time down in Mississippi
Somewhat of a cool night just right above 50
You sat at home, staring at the wall, apartment empty
The phone rung, it was wifey asking do you miss me
It's been some months since y'all both been separated
Still haven't settled in, not much you have done decorated
Who would've guessed moments later you'd be investigated
Apprehended for a murder leaving us all devastated
Father-n-law killed right inside his house
So they blame you but I always had my doubts
Murder weapon located is what they announce
On somebody else, same night, wonder what's that's about
Anyways, they knew you was already a felon
Possession of a firearm denied you the bail and
Threatened to take away your kids if you had not begun telling
The chain of events fabricated so we buy what they're selling
Hook:
My tears all gone
And my hearts grown cold
From the fears that I already know
You got the wrong man
Verse:
Forced confession put you right up in a front row seat
To a show designed to make sure you suffer defeat
Facing life without parole so you entered a plea
Not knowing DNA results would've set you free
You tried appealing that decision but to no avail
Ineffective council landed you behind a cell
Praying more than ever knowing it's a living hell
Stabbed a few times, nothing fatal, gangs are running jail
Once again, your case is at the court of appeals
Pleading with the attorney general looking over the deals
Dismiss it outright or look at what evidence reveals
'bout the facts of the case not what some idiot feels
Heard some people say you may just really deserve it
Well I believe in second chances and I deem you worth it
Out fighting for your freedom so hold on for a bit
This may very well be the only chance that I get
Hook:
My tears all gone
And my hearts grown cold
From the fears that I already know
You got the wrong man
Outro:
Wanna be free let me out
Wanna be free let me out
I wanna be free let me out
I wanna be free let me out
Let me out of here
You got the wrong man
