Life  sometimes isn’t fair
But no one seem to give a care
So I want you to be aware,
“I didn’t do it, I wasn’t there.”
Despite what certain people have to say
I have an alibi, okay?
And the truth I hope will set me free
From the charges that you’re trying to pin on me’

It’s like I told you once before
I didn’t ****, either or
And so I’m innocent for sure
So must I tell you anymore?
I’m demonstrating I have patience
Against those spurious allegations
But even patience can wear thin
You’re still trying to put me in!

I’m dealing with the stress and strife
Of facing twenty years to life
Away from my children and my wife
And that can cut you like a knife
Especially when they seem hell-bent
In ensuring that they don’t relent

So I will probably go to jail
Without the benefit of bail
And even on appeal I’ll fail
To hit the hammer on the nail
So as they lock me away
Counting the seconds everyday
I have this to say
Life isn’t fair anyway!
