INTRO
R.I.P Troy Davis them coulda(could of) kill the wrong man
Oh them coulda wrong oh them coulda wrong
VERSE 1
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 your not wrong lord lord
It"s like a eye for a eye and a tooth for a tooth
Yuh cant give him back his life when you find out the truth
You could be wrong yeah you could be wrong
You sure that your not wrong wooy yuuy
Beyond reasonable doubt is what the law book say
It"s too late when the man"s lifes taken away
You could be wrong yeah you could be wrong
You sure that your not wrong yo yo
Cause if you"re wrong then you really got hell to pay
What a thing when you face your own judgment day
You could be wrong yeah you could be wrong
You sure that your 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
CHORUS
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 (x2)
VERSE 2
Cause if you"re wrong then it rest upon your conscience
And one day your 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
CHORUS
You were not sure still you went ahead and killed that bredda you were not sure you coulda give him just a little more time (x2)
VERSE 3
Now the victims" families you must be heartbroken
And these words they are sincerely spoken
Cant 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

No one not sure if them commit no crime
Free them and give them a new trial yeah
Cause we dont 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
