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
