Oh the street's looking hard

Got a fresh credit card

I believe in the power

Having confidence in the capabilities of resolute people.
It took six months of trials

Just to put me in jail
Eventually incarcerated after a six-month trial.
In seven long years
Despite seven years, there was no offer of release on bail.
They never offered bail
