Cassidy raps about his murder case; How it all started, how he was just protecting his family, the time he spent in prison, his homeboys turning on him in court, and him beating the case.

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.

This song samples Innocent Man by Mark Morrison.
