Got Me Accused - Bobby Rush
I been before the prosecutor
Judge and the jury too
They're tryna' give me forty years
For something I just didn't do
Somebody tell me
What kind of justice could this be
Well it seems like my life just don't matter at all now
This could be the last time that you see me
I was setting in jail
Didn't have no one to go my bail
My lawyer came to get me out
And they threw my lawyer in jail
Somebody tell me
What kind of justice can this be
Well it seems like my life just don't matter at all now
And this could be the last time that you see me
They got me 'cused of stealin'
I never stole a thing
They got me accused of forgery
And I can't even write my name
Somebody tell me
I want to know what kind of justice can this be
Well it seems like my life just don't matter now
This could be the last time that you see me
They got 'cused of laundering
I don't even have a dime
Child support for ten children
And ain't either one of them mine
Somebody tell me
What kind of justice could this matter be
Ok it seems like my life just don't matter at all now
This could be the last time that you see me
