Not the One They Need

Verse 1

It wasn't me but here we go again

Caught red-handed in the story of my life

They point the finger at the man I never was

I swear it's all a twisted photograph

Pre-Chorus

Every time I turn around they blame me

For the trouble that I never even saw

Rap Verse

Look they point at me like I'm the only suspect

Wrong place wrong time and now they wanna question

Records on the counter bare hands in the air

I got receipts and alibis everywhere

Told her once before don't come knocking at my door

If it's smoke you wanna find go and check another floor

They want the scapegoat well I'm not the one they need

I smile wave and tell 'em wasn't me

Chorus

It wasn't me I swear I wasn't there

It wasn't me cross my heart and take my hand

The story grows with every passing day

But the truth ain't in the picture frame

Post-Chorus

Wasn't me (no no)

Wasn't me (not me)

Wasn't me (no no)

It wasn't me

Verse 2

They build a castle out of one small stone

And hand me keys to doors I never locked

The whispers travel faster than the light

But I keep walking steady down the road

Pre-Chorus

Every time I turn around they blame me

For the trouble that I never even saw

Chorus

It wasn't me I swear I wasn't there

It wasn't me cross my heart and take my hand

The story grows with every passing day

But the truth ain't in the picture frame

Post-Chorus

Wasn't me (no no)

Wasn't me (not me)

Wasn't me (no no)

It wasn't me

Bridge

Let the cameras roll and let the jury speak

I'll stand my ground on solid concrete

Nothing chases the shadow I don't keep

'Cause the version that they tell ain't me

Chorus

It wasn't me I swear I wasn't there

It wasn't me cross my heart and take my hand

The story grows with every passing day

But the truth ain't in the picture frame

Post-Chorus

Wasn't me (no no)

Wasn't me (not me)

Wasn't me (no no)

It wasn't me
