lyrics

I didn't do it, wasn't me
but I don't care no more what you believe
that rap sheet say i done it once or twice
but i didn't do it though i just might
luck is hard when you got my life
and a man in a robe

is roll, roll, rolling my dice

done some time more than what's mine
so i can guess what's down the line
give me the island my concrete beach
and i'll get harder and harder and harder each week
the cards are stacked ‘gainst me being nice
and a man in a robe is rolling my dice


Puttin’ me in cuffs ain’t near enough
To keep me down cuff slip off like gloves
And I'll grow old on parole
My boys’ll pick up the game where I leave off
A score short of the purchase price
Of the man in a robe rolling my dice
