Innocent Until Proven Guilty

Before you condemn me, hear my side, Don't be too quick to judge, before you decide. I'm not a criminal, I'm not a thief, Don't make me suffer for someone else's misbelief. Prove me guilty before you judge me, Don't make me a victim of society's decree. I am not a scapegoat, I am not a prey, Don't punish me for something someone else did and they got away. I have a voice, I have a right, To defend myself with all my might. Don't assume the worst, don't presume, Let's make the truth our only room. I am innocent until proven guilty, Don't let your biases make me a filly. I deserve justice, I deserve respect, Don't let your prejudice make me feel like a reject. So, I plead with you, please listen to me, Give me a chance, and you will see, That I'm not what you assume, not what you hear, Prove me guilty before you judge me, don't let your fear.
