[Verse 1]
There's nothing worse than being blamed
Even though you're innocent
But innocence in a sense is a way to get in a cent
We gotta go for a bigger cheque
But what is my signal next?
You should never fucking pick a fight
If you do, then you could die
Bitches screamin', "I'm his wife"
They get raped and then they cry
Soldiers sent out to invade their lives
Killin' people who wish to live in Dubai
I would hate to be a guy
Who did that, got the FBI
Watching you, a secret eye
I hope y'all hear this, I'm the guy
I'm thirteen, but I got a point
I won't just puff or smoke a joint
I wanna cleanse the world, enjoy
Sittin' here, bitch, you annoyed?
'Cause I rule this shit, I flipped a coin
Heads or tails? Which one will point
To the sky, they lick your arse or suck your dick
It's civilians and children, too
I hope you get my fucking message
The world's fucked up, there's no remembrance
This is no resemblance of what I pictured of a world
You're fuckin' with just little girls
I ain't a hero, but I'm giving all these people what they deserve
Recognition, need to reserve
A way out of this hell hole
I'm just tryna be good and save a life
Please stop it, you're stabbing them with a mental knife
They need a gentle night
Away from guns and fire, I need to conspire
You look like you are tired
Well, here I am
[Chorus]
Please, sir, I am innocent
Innocent, innocent
Officer, I was innocent, listen here, I was innocent
I'm innocent, I'm innocent, I'm innocent, I'm innocent
Please, sir, I am innocent
Innocent, innocent
Officer, I was innocent, listen here, I was innocent
I'm innocent, I'm innocent, I'm innocent, I'm innocent
[Verse 2]
Okay, I just went off to the park
Brought my toy gun, makes sounds like, "Rah"
Next thing you know, fucking police cars
Pull up next to me, got shot
Blood in my vision, get's dark
I see my sister get robbed
Pushed to the ground as the shots go bark
Is this the end? Didn't make it far
I'm only 12, but they shot me, bye
News spreads out that they took my life
Is this my land? Are these my rights?
To get shot for a play fight?
Had so much to live for, miss my mum
Miss my dad, was just a toy gun
My name is Tamir, just another one
Of black killings going on, the protests have just begun
[Chorus]
Please, sir, I am innocent
Innocent, innocent
Officer, I was innocent, listen here, I was innocent
I'm innocent, I'm innocent, I'm innocent, I'm innocent
Please, sir, I am innocent
Innocent, innocent
Officer, I was innocent, listen here, I was innocent
I'm innocent, I'm innocent, I'm innocent, I'm innocent
[Verse 3]
Alright, I walked to the shop, got some fake pounds in my pocket
And I got an angel's locket
When they find out it's fake, then I take off like a rocket...
Oh shit, they found out, they got the cops respondin'
Hopefully they do nothin' shockin'
I'm just a man tryna make it in this life
But there's stabbin' pains in my heart, and it feels like a knife
The police are pulling up, they put me in their cuffs
I don't think I should resist, 'cause then I could get hit
Kicked, bit, and ripped, yeah
The officer got me on the ground, tryna kneel on me
I can't fucking breath, get your knees off me
Now I can't see properly
I've never been at this risk before
This might end up with gore
My name's George Floyd, just tryna make it 'cause I'm poor
So I said—
[Chorus]
Please, sir, I am innocent
Innocent, innocent
Officer, I was innocent, listen here, I was innocent
I'm innocent, I'm innocent, I'm innocent, I'm innocent
[Verse 4]
Shit's fucked up as it is
We gotta fight for some risks
So fuck your ice on your wrists
We gotta get by and live
And fuck the people tryna say that we shit
We rappers savin' some kids
We gotta fight for this shit
And as the lightnin' is lit
Why be in love with this world if it just brings pain?
For all we know, there could be a man gettin' restrained
Shot in the back of the head, then hide his body by a lane
Only for someone to find their corpse in the rain
Blood washing down the bank as it came
To their heads that this is what insane
Shit goes on, another black person was just slain, ayy
[Chorus]
Please, sir, I am innocent
Innocent, innocent
Officer, I was innocent, listen here, I was innocent
I'm innocent, I'm innocent, I'm innocent, I'm innocent
Please, sir, I am innocent
Innocent, innocent
Officer, I was innocent, listen here, I was innocent
I'm innocent, I'm innocent, I'm innocent, I'm innocent
[Outro]
Yeah, and this is why I speak up for this shit
I may not be black as it is
But you gotta fight for the people who could be gettin' killed right now
You know, sure, I may be the kid who was nice to KSI and all
But I want to use my lyrics to help people
I started off rapping as a hobby
Then I saw that I can use it as a tool to spread awareness
I know at the time of me recording this it's already a big thing
It's the 23rd of November, 2020, right now
When I release this, it's probably 2021
But I'm sure this can still help then
This song goes out to the people who inspired me to make this track
Mains would be: J. Cole, Royce, some other people who have also spoke up
And rest in peace George Floyd, Tamir Rice, and many other fatalities at the hands of the American federation
I may not be the best rapper, but I'm doing what I can do
And I've always been innocent...
