(Intro) (Verse 1) I'm stuck in this cell Is this hell where I dwell In this jail with a bail set so high I could cry don't know why it's not like someone died but at least if they did there would be a reason for this but there's not so ill rot in this spot till i break out and I'm caught or I'm shot or worse, I'm forgot like times all I have got because I've lost all that I've known my family and my home now I'm all alone and won't see my son till he's grown with children of his own I won't teach him to fight or what's wrong from what's right I can't read him stories at night or leave on his light hug him tight hold him with all my might when he needs encouraging let him know it's alright I can't play catch or take him to a game all he has left is my last name and when his mom re-marries her new flame that won't stay the same I take all of the blame [Pre-Chorus] now I'm told when to eat,, when to sleep, there's a time to sow and a time to reap, now I'm told when to eat, when to sleep, there's a time to sow and a time to reap, (Chorus) i lost all control caged like an animal in chains and restraints, no one hears my complaints, every inmate, is a saint. its all a mistake, i can hear them say to me Not guilty , not guilty Not guilty not guilty Now set me free (Verse 2) Sitting in front of a judge I feel judged, Before the gavels lifted I feel she has a grudge, Prosecution is wanting 6 years, And they won't budge Give my lawyer a nudge When I hear them lie, Or embellish, Prosecution treats me like a cliché And I relish in the misinformation they say Cuz I hope it will sway The jury to see it my way The case went from black and white to fifty shades of gray We motion for discovery, so I know the play They don’t have concrete evidence, its still clay So they tried to mold it but it won't stay Trying to take my rights away I'm going to take the stand anyway The truth is a gun and it words will spray Like bullets as I make them pay I sit in silence and pray [Pre-Chorus] now I'm told when to eat,, when to sleep, there's a time to sow and a time to reap, now I'm told when to eat, when to sleep, there's a time to sow and a time to reap, (Chorus) i lost all control caged like an animal in chains and restraints, no one hears my complaints, every inmate, is a saint. its all a mistake, i can hear them say to me Not guilty , not guilty Not guilty not guilty Now set me free Not guilty , not guilty Not guilty not guilty Now set me free
