Wu-Tang Clan, Streetlife - Mistaken Identity lyrics

Wanna go home and see my wife and kids
I wanna go home and see my wife and kids
I wanna go home i wanna go home
I wanna go home
Wanna go home and see my wife and kids
I wanna go home and see my wife and kids
I wanna go home

Yeah yeah they want me locked down
Fryin' in jail
Before you hear that I decided to tell
I'd rather die in a cell
I was framed like a wedding flick
2 time felon still a predicate, doin' time
Tell 'em that's a negative
Prejudice judge, bails be a mil' in cash
Scorin' money like the meter
On the Yellow Cab
Give the witness an unexpected visit
Make his story change like
Walls blockin' his vision


Couldn't give a clear description
Fearin' the repercussions
Like, "I was on the ground
I ain't see him bustin'"
Now the DA chasin' a plea
They hatin' I'm free
The case is mistaken identity

Whoever push me like Pusha T, I push back
I push a cap, before '93, I pushed crack
I'm hood, black, you know
Me well, what's good, scrap?
I'm smokin' rappers, you are a L
What's good Smack?
Hold up that's Goodz rap, pardon self
I just like good rap
But when I see Goodz I give his goods back
I rap for writers that pack
Strap to rhymers that backpack
To 25 to lifers that jack MAC
We movin' ratchets, no Kat Stacks, it's magic
The way we flip the package before
The coppers can catch it
I'm past that chapter in life
Let's live it lavish
When life take a piss in your bed
You flip the mattress
Before you try and get in my head
Get you some Pampers
Then take a long look at my
Ish and get your answers
Kick in my vicinity
I'm what rappers pretend to be
Charge 'em with a penalty, mistaken identity

Mistaken identity, you highly mistaken me
Check my ID, Wu Tang, that's the legacy
Mistaken identity, you highly mistaken me
Check my ID, Wu Tang, that's the legacy

Fresh off of work, he jumped out the van
Two suitcases, dangle from his hands
He opened up the door, headed up the stairs
Thought he heard a noise
But no one else was there
First sight he saw, struck him by surprise
Two shots was given, between his girl's eyes
Windows blown out, no prints on the door
All he seen was blood stains
Smear the damn floor
911, ambulance showed up
Blood everywhere, paramedics throwin' up
Cops cuffed him up, hit him with the charge
But he was bangin' Mrs prixy
At the Motor Lodge
He got his alibis, gonna use 'em all
He screwfaced the judge
He might take the fall
Someone set him up, a botched robbery
Mistaken identity, yeah it gotta be

17 years old, I'm headed back to the hole
I'm mistaken identity, every way was sold
I look like a hoodlum, I rock a lot of gold
They lockin' everybody up
Ship your ass up the road
I ain't have a 9 on me, they was lyin' on me
Court day with my old bird
They was spyin' on me tried to set me up
Plantin' coke in my pocket
The beast pat me up, they won't let me off

Na-n-n-n-n nah it wasn't me
It could never been the G-O-D, not me
You terribly mistaken, son, I ain't the one
We could never look nothin' like
Whether near or far sight
What resemblance does he strike?
So my mic Fahrenheit
W for my a-alike, your DNA match tight
Even if they bite us, close but not quite
They still tryna get it right
Mistaken identity

Mistaken identity, you highly mistaken me
Check my ID, Wu Tang, that's the legacy
Mistaken identity, you highly mistaken me
Check my ID, Wu Tang, that's the legacy
Mistaken identity, you highly mistaken me
Check my ID, Wu Tang, that's the legacy
Mistaken identity, you highly mistaken me
Check my ID, Wu Tang, that's the legacy

Wanna go home and see my wife and kids
Wanna go home and see my wife and kids
Wanna go home wanna go home
Wanna go home wanna go home

Mistaken identity, you highly mistaken me
Check my ID, Wu Tang, that's the legacy
Mistaken identity, you highly mistaken me
Check my ID, Wu Tang, that's the legacy
Mistaken identity, you highly mistaken me
Check my ID, Wu Tang, that's the legacy
