You ain't got nothing on me
Nothing on me
They laid it on too thick
They couldn't make it stick
They ain't got nothing on me
They ain't got nothing on me
You know they laid another charge
That's why I'm still a large
No they got nothing on me
(Ain't got nothing on me) That's right
You know they watch me like hawk
Yeah, they even took me for a walk
You know they tried to make me squawk
But they got nothing on me
No, nothing on me - not a thing
They've gone through this before
I can't do this no more
I'm walking out the door
Cause you've got nothing on me
Nothing on me
I don't resist arrest, I think it's for the best
You know
Because they've got nothing on me - not a thing (you ain't got nothing on me)
I was in-between, yeah
It's something unforeseen
I was squeaky clean
They ain't got nothing on me, ooh
Nothing on me
They've got nothing
We've been through this before
You know, I can't do this no more
And I'm walking out the door
Cause you've got nothing on me
Nothing on me
No, nothing on me
Ooh baby, baby, they shoot in from the hip (they've got nothing on me)
And I'm going to plead the fifth
Nothing on me
They've got nothing on me

I would say Nothing on Me was written for Bigger Bang.

Keith Richards, September 2015
My life is getting busted and getting out of it. Writing the book (Life)
brought back certain things. So much has happened and sometimes you
just forget about it. Especially getting busted is not something you
want to dwell on. But then you think about it, and you think Maybe there's a song in there.

Keith Richards, August 2015, on some of the songs referring to past encounters with the police
The cops come up quite a bit on this album! It came from when I was
writing the autobiography. I was thinking of my experiences in Chelsea
in the '70s. Anything contemporary, they don't touch me any more!
(laughs) I was their Number 1 target at the time - talk about police
harassment! I got used to it. When they started to plant stuff on me,
it was notorious around Chelsea in those years. There was a lot of
bribery and screwing going on.
