Criminal

Yeah… yeah They think they know me… But they don’t… Everywhere I step, they got their eyes on me Pointing fingers, making lies the enemy I’m walking through smoke, shadows on my street Innocent but guilty, they can’t see my beat Judged before they know me, labeled before I speak Tried to lock me down, but I won’t ever leak All these rumors, all these chains They don’t know the story in my veins I rise above, I break the frame I’m not your criminal, I’m not your shame Criminal, they see me in the dark Criminal, but I’m just leaving my mark Criminal, painted by the crowd Criminal, I’m standing unbound Late nights, city lights, echo in my head Whispers in the alley, like they wish I was dead But I move like a ghost, silent but clear I’m the truth they fear, I’m the voice they won’t hear In the mirror, I see a fighter, never a fraud Walking through the judgment, still blessed by God Chains of the world can’t hold me tight I’m dancing with the shadows in the night They tried to name me, tried to frame me But my story’s mine, you’ll never claim me Criminal, they see me in the dark Criminal, but I’m just leaving my mark Criminal, painted by the crowd Criminal, I’m standing unbound
