I Want to Be Free (That's the Truth) - Too $hort[00:00:00]

You think Oakland California is a city of punks[00:00:21]

It only takes a second to pop the trunk[00:00:23]

And just like that you know it's real[00:00:26]

You're in the right damn town to get killed[00:00:28]

It's all about the game and nothin' else[00:00:31]

You come out here you better watch yourself[00:00:34]

'Cause you can wear what you want even blue or red[00:00:36]

But cross the wrong brothers and end up dead[00:00:39]

You catch a body full of bullets and get blasted[00:00:42]

Tryin' to be a gangsta but you just ain't lastin'[00:00:45]

This little town is gettin' wild as hell[00:00:47]

Check the penetentiaries and all the jails[00:00:50]

If they could lock us all up that would be just fine[00:00:52]

Got my partners from Oakland doin' serious time[00:00:55]

You can't argue with the truth it's hard to be black[00:00:57]

But it's a mindgame and you gotta deal with that[00:01:00]

I wake up everyday and I just can't wait[00:01:03]

To make mo money 'cause back in the days[00:01:06]

When I rapped I did the same damn thing I do now[00:01:08]

Grab the microphone and show you how[00:01:11]

But I was broke the only thing I had was game[00:01:13]

I started makin' money and knew things would change[00:01:16]

Bought a Benz thought it might earn respect[00:01:19]

But the OPD found it hard to accept[00:01:21]

Face down on the ground keep my hands in sight[00:01:26]

Put the handcuffs on backseat I'm in it[00:01:29]

Illegal search for about thirty minutes[00:01:32]

Askin' me where's the dope[00:01:34]

Where's my gun but I don't know[00:01:37]

I said I'm rappin' they laugh like I told a joke[00:01:39]

And to this day they think I'm sellin' coke[00:01:43]

I want to be free ohh yeah[00:01:45]

(And that's the truth)[00:01:47]

I want to be free ohh yeah[00:01:50]

I be in Oakland California every day of my life[00:01:55]

Bass so hard you think I'm smokin' a pipe[00:01:58]

And if I don't smoke it I gots to grind[00:02:01]

Searched all my stuff and all you find[00:02:03]

Is a pocket full of money count seven G's[00:02:06]

Now you wanna think I'm sellin' keys[00:02:09]

'Cause I'm a black man but I run my own business[00:02:11]

So why the police wanna send me to prison[00:02:14]

They see a brother makin' major cash[00:02:17]

They knock a patch out his black ass[00:02:19]

And that's the truth you can't argue you at all[00:02:22]

Tryin' to give you ten years for a phone call[00:02:24]

Ain't even trippin' on the dank smoke[00:02:27]

'Cause all they wanna find is guns and coke[00:02:30]

In court all the time tryin' to fight it[00:02:33]

We get rich we get witch[00:02:35]

So what's the problem officer this time [00:02:38]

Is havin' big money bein' black a crime [00:02:40]

Or did you take me to jail to teach me a lesson[00:02:42]

Charge me with somethin' or just ask questions[00:02:45]

About the brothers I hang around [00:02:48]

What's really goin' on in the Oakland town [00:02:50]

Tell me who went broke and who got rich[00:02:53]

But Too $hort baby just ain't no snitch[00:02:56]

You say you're just doin' your job[00:02:59]

But you're gettin on my nerves just like Bob[00:03:01]

Every time I hit a corner I see you[00:03:04]

Always tellin' brothers what to do[00:03:07]

You lock me up 'cause I don't know how to act[00:03:09]

But I'm down for mine so I be talkin' back[00:03:12]

And when I do you treat me bad as hell[00:03:14]

I'm sick of spendin' nights in jail[00:03:17]

I want to be free ohh yeah[00:03:20]

(And that's the truth)[00:03:21]

I want to be free ohh yeah[00:03:24]

Walkin' down the street like a broke dopefiend[00:03:43]

Had a pocket full of money tryin' to play the role[00:03:46]

Benz got towed and I was hella cold[00:03:48]

But I ain't trippin' I'm gettin' used to it now[00:03:51]

Handcuffed your boy took me straight downtown[00:03:54]

For three warrants had to catch me sooner or later[00:03:56]

'Cause the five-oh's always tryin' to jack a playa[00:03:59]

For no reason wasn't doin nothin wrong[00:04:01]

You think I'm lyin' singin' that same ol song[00:04:04]

Well I'm a black man ridin' in a Benz[00:04:07]

How in the hell did I make these ends [00:04:09]

Here we go I pull over to the right[00:04:12]

Stop the engine keep my hands in sight[00:04:15]

I start cursin' 'cause it don't make sense[00:04:17]

Why would I run and try to jump a fence[00:04:20]

If I was plannin' a smooth getaway[00:04:23]

I never woulda stopped in the first place[00:04:25]

You'd be high speed chasin' me but this time you ain't[00:04:28]

'Cause all I got on me is a big fat bank[00:04:30]

And I hope I don't get robbed by you know who[00:04:33]

Make me donate some G's to the boys in blue[00:04:36]

And if I sue I won't get nothin' back[00:04:38]

But I ain't mad I'm just black[00:04:41]

I want to be free ohh yeah[00:04:43]

I want to be free ohh yeah[00:04:48]

I want to be free ohh yeah[00:04:53]

I want to be free ohh yeah[00:04:59]
