was caught committing a crime, but he's trying to justify it by comparing the cop to himself. My reasoning? Look at the following lines:
"Your mission is forgettin',
And denying the existence,
Thinkin' of different ways to keep from submittin',
And continuin' to not to mention,"
And
"That just give me more time to sit and erase,
Alibi and alias,
switch and replace,
Think about, then,
Forget about an escape,"
If he were innocent, he wouldn't be worried about forgetting about and denying the existence of the evidence or formulating an alibi. The "Money, I've never seen...Calls I didn't make" section is him getting his story straight-- notice he slips up right before that with "If I was in Russia, who knows how they'd do a hustla?" He knows he's done it, but he's trying keep himself from telling the cop that.

As for the second verse, he's making accusations and assumptions about his arresting officer, which may or may not be true.">
