Luyện nghe bài hát I Want To Be Free (That's The Truth)

You think Oakland, California, is a city of
It only takes a second to pop the
And just like that, you know real
You're in the right damn town to get

It's all about the and nothin' else
You out here, you better watch yourself
'Cause you can what you want, even blue or red
But cross the brothers and end up dead

You catch a full of bullets and get blasted
Tryin' to be a gangsta but you just lastin'
This town is gettin' wild as hell
the penetentiaries and all the jails

If could lock us all up, that would be just fine
Got my partners from Oakland doin' time
You can't with the truth, it's hard to be black
But it's a mindgame and you gotta deal that

I wake up everyday and I can't wait
To make mo 'cause back in the days
When I rapped, I did the damn thing I do now
Grab the and show you how

But I was broke, the thing I had was game
I makin' money and knew things would change
Bought a Benz, it might earn respect
But the OPD found it hard to

I got jacked by the
Face down on the ground, keep my hands in
Put the on backseat, I'm in it
search for about thirty minutes

Askin' me where's the
Where's my gun but I don't
I said I'm rappin', they laugh I told a joke
And to day they think I'm sellin' coke

I want to be free, ohh
(And the truth)
I want to be free, ohh

I be in Oakland, California every day of my
Bass so hard, you think I'm smokin' a
And if I don't smoke it, I to grind
all my stuff and all you find
Is a pocket of money, count seven G's
Now you wanna I'm sellin' keys

'Cause I'm a man, but I run my own business
So why the police send me to prison
They see a makin' major cash
They knock a patch out his ass

And that's the truth, you argue you at all
Tryin' to give you ten years for a phone
Ain't even trippin' on the smoke
'Cause all they wanna find is and coke

In all the time, tryin' to fight it
We get rich, we get
So what's the problem officer, this
Is havin' big money, bein' black a

Or did you me to jail to teach me a lesson
Charge me with somethin' or just ask
About the brothers I around?
really goin' on in the Oakland town?

Tell me who broke, and who got rich
But Too $hort baby, ain't no snitch
You say you're just your job
But you're on my nerves, just like Bob

time I hit a corner, I see you
Always tellin' what to do
You lock me up I don't know how to act
But I'm for mine, so I be talkin' back
And when I do, you treat me bad as
I'm sick of nights in jail

I to be free, ohh yeah
(And the truth)
I to be free, ohh yeah

Got out of jail [unverified]
down the street like a broke dopefiend
Had a full of money tryin' to play the role
Benz got towed and I was cold

But I trippin', I'm gettin' used to it now
Handcuffed, your boy took me straight
For three warrants, had to me sooner or later
'Cause the five-oh's always tryin' to a playa

For no reason, wasn't doin nothin
You I'm lyin', singin' that same ol song
Well I'm a black man, in a Benz
How in the hell did I these ends?

Here we go, I pull over to the
Stop the engine, keep my in sight
I start cursin' 'cause it don't sense
Why would I run and try to a fence

If I was plannin' a smooth
I never stopped in the first place
You'd be speed chasin' me but this time you ain't
'Cause all I got on me is a big fat

And I hope I get robbed by you know who
Make me donate some G's to the boys in
And if I sue, I get nothin' back
But I ain't mad, I'm just

I to be free, ohh yeah
I want to be free, ohh
I to be free, ohh yeah
I want to be free, ohh
