In the key of D Major

I was walkin’, I was just walkin’ home
I saw him comin’, then the blue lights flashin’
I wanted to keep on walkin’, but he threatened to shoot me down
He said, “Get on your knees…” but he through me down instead
I wasn’t walkin’ any mo’, chest to the ground
Neither line to walk, or sort of test
He just assumed I had done more than walkin’
I had been walkin’, I had been just walkin’ home
I walked miles yesterday, but in single file and to the right
While they executed a means to profit from my plight
So, after a telephone call or two… they let me have my bankcard back
I told them to run it through. I had best get it all back
Twelve hours later, I was walkin’ home, barefoot
But I took the bus, after I laced my walkin’ shoes
Obstructing a roadway? Public intoxication? Shit
And to the fool whom kept me from walkin’: eat it and die for all I care
It seems people are sending the wrong kind of message
Some folk say it’s safer to drink, and then drive home in North Charleston
There’ll Be No Drinkin’ In North Charleston

Let me tell you a story
About what can happen to you in North Charleston

I was walkin’, I just was walkin’ home
I saw him comin’, then the blue lights flashin’
I wanted to keep on walkin’
But he threatened to shoot me down
He said, “Get on your knees…”
But he threw me down instead
I wasn’t walkin’ anymo’, chest to the ground
No line to walk, nothin’ on my breath
He just assumed I had done more than walkin’
I had been walkin’, I just had been walkin’ home

(Chorus?
Is the message getting though?
Maybe this song is really about you
Maybe it is only a matter of time
You get one telephone call
And that my friend, doesn’t cost you a dime

So much for innocent until proven guilty in this country
The other day I go to get a permit
So I can play my song down at the market
That’s when I need a criminal background check
My check is good, but it turns out my background isn’t
That’s funny… I’m pleading not guilty, and why should I?
The police video gives credence to my story
While the officer swears to a much different story, lie la lie

(Chorus)

I walked miles that day
But in single file and to the right
While fools executed a means
To profit from my plight

(Chorus)
