You Could Be Wrong Songtext
von Macka B

Rest in peace Troy Davis
Them coulda kill the wrong man
Oh them coulda wrong, oh them coulda wrong


Another death row execution
Are you sure that you never killed a innocent man?
You could be wrong, yeah you could be wrong
You sure that you′re not wrong, Lord, Lord
It's like a eye for a eye and a tooth for a tooth
Yuh can′t give him back his life when you find out the truth
You could be wrong, yeah you could be wrong
You sure that you're not wrong, wooy, yuuy
Beyond reasonable doubt is what the law book say
It's too late when the man′s life′s taken away
You could be wrong, yeah you could be wrong
You sure that you're not wrong, yo, yo
′Cause if you're wrong then you really got hell to pay
What a thing when you face your own Judgement day
You could be wrong, yeah you could be wrong
You sure that you′re not wrong, Lord, Lord
'Cause them supposed to prove a man guilty
Sometimes the system looks filthy
Fire on them so called liberty and racist death penalty

You were not sure
Still you went ahead and killed that brother
You were not sure
You coulda give him just a little more time

You were not sure
Still you went ahead and killed that brother
You were not sure
You coulda give him just a little more time


′Cause if you're wrong then it rest upon your conscience
And one day you're gonna have to pay the consequence
Say how you could carry out the death sentence
Especially when you never had no real evidence
To the rest of the world it never make no sense
You coulda give the man a last chance for his defence
You know you coulda drop it to a life sentence
And me say right to the end the man a plead innocent
Most of the witness them change them statement
Me say all of the jurors said them would of vote different
People ′round the world a jump to his defence
But it never make no difference

You were not sure
Still you went ahead and killed that brother
You were not sure
You coulda give him just a little more time

You were not sure
Still you went ahead and killed that brother
You were not sure
You coulda give him just a little more time

Now the victims′ families, you must be heartbroken
And these words they are sincerely spoken
Can't execute anybody as a token, gotta be fair and be open
Them coulda wrong, oh them coulda wrong
Yeah them coulda wrong, them coulda killed the wrong man
Oh them coulda wrong, oh them coulda wrong, Lord, Lord
Look on the man in Norway who do the killing
Killed ninety people it was very chilling
And you notice when the police them got him
Nobody never shot him, wooy
Free Mumia and free the Move nine
Them deyah prison, deyah prison long time
No one not sure if them commit no crime
Free them and give them a new trial, yeah
′Cause we don't want to see no more a this
No more miscarriages of justice
Deal with every case in a strict fairness
Not from your own prejudice

You coulda wrong, oh you could be wrong
Yeah you could be wrong, suppose you kill the wrong man
Oh you coulda wrong, oh you could be wrong
You coulda kill the wrong man, oh you coulda wrong
Oh you coulda wrong, suppose you kill the wrong man
Oh you coulda wrong, oh you coulda wrong
Rest in peace
