Yo
(Open up, man) What's up, man?
(The press just caught me) You let them catch you?
(I don't know how this happened) With who?
(The education board, you know) Man
(I don't know what to do) Say it wasn't you
(Alright)
The press walked in and they caught me red-handed
Messing with the history taught in schools
Picture this, we were all in the chamber
Signing off on the controversial rules
How could I forget that I had
Given my approval clearly
All this time the press was standing there
They never took their eyes off me
How you can give your people lessons that are so hollow?
Passing off enslavement like it's some pill to swallow
You better watch your back before they turn into a follower
Let's review the situation that you caught up in a
To be a true governor you have to know how to sway
If they stay a night, convince them stay a day
Never admit to a word when they say
And if they claim, ah, you tell them, "Governor, no way"
But they caught me on the record (It wasn't me)
Saw me siding with the board (It wasn't me)
I even had the bill in my power (It wasn't me)
They even caught me on camera (It wasn't me)
They saw the signs of my order (It wasn't me)
Heard the words that I told her (It wasn't me)
Heard the outcry get louder (It wasn't me)
They stayed until it was over
The press walked in and they caught me red-handed
Messing with the history taught in schools
Picture this, we were all in the chamber
Signing off on the controversial rules
I had tried to keep them
From what they were about to see
Why should they believe me
When I told them it wasn't me
Make sure they know it's not you and lead them on no right to vex
Whenever you should see them make the governor flex
Somebody else as it be by you, it not that complex
Seeing is believing so you better change your specs
You know they are gon' bring 'bout things up from the past
All the little evidence you better know to mask
Quick upon your answer: go over there
But if they pack a pen you know you better run fast
But they caught me on the record (It wasn't me)
Saw me siding with the board (It wasn't me)
I even had the bill in my power (It wasn't me)
They even caught me on camera (Nah, it wasn't me)
They saw the signs of my order (It wasn't me)
Heard the words that I told her (It wasn't me)
Heard the outcry get louder (It wasn't me)
They stayed until it was over
The press walked in and they caught me red-handed
Messing with the history taught in schools
Picture this, we were all in the chamber
Signing off on the controversial rules
Gonna tell them that I'm sorry
For the pain that I've caused
I've been listening to your reasonin'
It makes no sense at all
We should tell them that I'm sorry
For the pain that I've caused
You may think that you're a player
But you're completely lost
That's why I sing
The press walked in and they caught me red-handed
Messing with the history taught in schools
Picture this, we were all in the chamber
Signing off on the controversial rules
How could I forget that I had
Given my approval clearly
All this time the press was standing there
They never took their eyes off me
