lyrics

I know when I'm slipping
I feel when I fall
Oh, and I never meant to be a tragic event
To be such a cause for alarm
And I promise you, mother
I promise you, friends
We are still gonna win and I will never give in
'Til I know that I've earned my amends
But you know

It's a crime where I come from
And I'm still trying to shake it
It's a crime where I come from
To outlive what you can't outrun
It's a crime where I come from
To simply place yourself in the sun
It's a crime where I come from

I'm not a man of means
Just the means to an end
And I'll know the end when see it
Until then, I believe and pretend
And I know when I'm slipping
I feel when I fall
And believe me, I'll leave whatever I might receive
If I just can't make it up to you all
But you know

It's a crime where I come from
And I'm still trying to shake it
It's a crime where I come from
To forgive your mistakes and run
It's a crime where I come from
You can't just place yourself in the sun
It's a crime where I come from
You know, or you don't
