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 attending college

Now I'm aware of your injustice, 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
