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 like that, you know it's real
You're in the right damn town to get

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

You catch a body full of and get blasted
Tryin' to be a gangsta but you just ain't
This little town is wild as hell
Check the penetentiaries and all the

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

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

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

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

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

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

I be in Oakland, every day of my life
Bass so hard, you I'm smokin' a pipe
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

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

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

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

Or did you take me to to teach me a lesson
me with somethin' or just ask questions
About the brothers I hang
What's goin' on in the Oakland town?

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

time I hit a corner, I see you
Always tellin' brothers to do
You lock me up 'cause I know how to act
But I'm for mine, so I be talkin' back
And when I do, you me bad as hell
I'm of spendin' nights in jail

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

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

But I ain't trippin', I'm gettin' to it now
Handcuffed, boy took me straight downtown
For three warrants, had to catch me or later
'Cause the five-oh's always tryin' to a playa

For no reason, wasn't nothin wrong
You think I'm lyin', that same ol song
Well I'm a black man, ridin' in a
How in the hell did I make ends?

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

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

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