"Innocent Man"
Song

"Innocent Man (Misunderstood)" is a song by American hip hop recording artist Cassidy. It was officially released on December 22, 2007 and serves as the second single from his third studio album, B.A.R.S. The Barry Adrian Reese Story (2007). The song, which was produced by Cassidy's longtime mentor and frequent collaborator Swizz Beatz, features vocals from English R&B singer Mark Morrison, sampling his song "Innocent Man".

Background

In an interview with FMQB Radio, Cassidy gave insight on the song:

'Innocent Man' is talking about the situation I went through when I was locked up for the murder and two attempts, It talks about what I was going through and how I was feeling before it happened, after it happened, and how I feel now. I think it says a lot, and it tells you a lot about me. It's definitely going to be my second single because it brings my story to light. And this is what the album is based on — the Barry Reese story. I wanted to tell my story, my real life story, not just about being an entertainer, but the story about [being] Barry Reese.[1]
