In Detroit, there's a man  He's in charge of the action  Put a gun, in your face  And he gets a reaction  Has a beeper, and a car  I was his driver  Runnin' drugs, across the country  I was the survivor  I'm innocent, of anything  I'm innocent, but he's comin'  Charlie's out of prison  Charlie's out of prison  Charlie's out of prison  In Detroit, they make guns  Lotsa cars, lotsa criminals  You get big, you get hard  But you don't get too successful  Small time world, small time racket  Push yourself to the brink  Just to sell another packet  I'm innocent, of anything  I'm innocent, but he's comin'  Charlie's out of prison  Charlie's out of prison  Charlie's out of prison  Broken doors, broken windows  Broken reason, of my mind  Weakened by, desperation  The seduction of crime  Meaning of death, means nothing  When you need to survive  Caught believing, in life  A flash in eternal time  Yeah yeah  Charlie's out of prison
