Lyrics
What is my crime, I wanna know
Expressing a desire to understand the alleged crime
You say I'm guilty but I don't think so
Denying the accusation and claiming innocence
I've done my time, I'm not going back
Stating that the singer has already served a sentence and refuses to return
Not going back, I'm not going back
Reiterating the determination not to go back
I can't afford to pay bail
Expressing financial inability to pay for release
I'll spend a night or two here
Accepting a short-term stay in custody due to financial constraints
I'm not a cold hard criminal
Claiming not to be a heartless, severe criminal
It wasn't mine I swear
Asserting innocence regarding the alleged crime
What is my crime, I wanna know
Repeating the question about the crime and the desire to know
If you don't have the proof, then let me go
Challenging authorities to provide evidence or release the accused
I plead the fifth, I have nothing to say
Invoking the right to remain silent under the Fifth Amendment
Nothing to say, I have nothing to say
Emphasizing the lack of information or statements from the accused
I can't afford to pay bail
Reiterating financial constraints related to bail
I'll spend a night or two here
Accepting a short-term stay in custody due to financial constraints (repeated)
I'm not a cold hard criminal
Reiterating the claim of not being a severe criminal
It wasn't mine I swear
Insisting on innocence concerning the alleged crime (repeated)
What is my crime, I'm innocent
Asserting innocence and proclaiming not to be guilty of any crime
I made sure not to leave my fingerprints
Claiming precautions to avoid leaving incriminating evidence
I don't know how you found the evidence
Expressing confusion about how evidence was discovered
what evidence
Rhetorical question questioning the existence of evidence
I can't afford to pay bail
Repeating financial inability to pay for release (repeated)
I'll spend a night or two here
Repeating acceptance of a short-term stay in custody (repeated)
I'm not a cold hard criminal
Reiterating the claim of not being a severe criminal (repeated)
It wasn't mine I swear
Emphasizing innocence regarding the alleged crime (repeated)
