They got me IN A Picture fRaMe uP
I was guilty because I was black
Running down the street before it got dark
I had to be home before the street lights on
Before dusk I'm runnin home
A police cruiser drives by
They got me on their computer
They got me IN A Picture fRaMe uP
Their was a robbery and they said that
Suspect looks like me wearin grey hoody
Police siren on
Pulls me over, wow..
Now the story we all look familiar
They got me N A Picture frame
And if I'm the same shade of skin
And if I'm at the wrong place
And all you see is my face
Must be automatic then
They got me IN A Picture fRaMe uP
I am, I am the suspect
I am guilty so arrest me
My innocents belongs to
Someone else of a lighter hue
So what are you gonna do while DWB
you say wha't does that mean it means
Driving(walking) While Being Black
I am, I am the suspect
I am guilty so arrest me
My innocents belongs to
only me?
They got me IN A Picture fRaMe uP
