《I Want to Be Free (That’s the Truth)》歌词

[00:00:00] I Want to Be Free (That's the Truth) - Too $hort
[00:00:21] You think Oakland California is a city of punks
[00:00:23] It only takes a second to pop the trunk
[00:00:26] And just like that you know it's real
[00:00:28] You're in the right damn town to get killed
[00:00:31] It's all about the game and nothin' else
[00:00:34] You come out here you better watch yourself
[00:00:36] 'Cause you can wear what you want even blue or red
[00:00:39] But cross the wrong brothers and end up dead
[00:00:42] You catch a body full of bullets and get blasted
[00:00:45] Tryin' to be a gangsta but you just ain't lastin'
[00:00:47] This little town is gettin' wild as hell
[00:00:50] Check the penetentiaries and all the jails
[00:00:52] If they could lock us all up that would be just fine
[00:00:55] Got my partners from Oakland doin' serious time
[00:00:57] You can't argue with the truth it's hard to be black
[00:01:00] But it's a mindgame and you gotta deal with that
[00:01:03] I wake up everyday and I just can't wait
[00:01:06] To make mo money 'cause back in the days
[00:01:08] When I rapped I did the same damn thing I do now
[00:01:11] Grab the microphone and show you how
[00:01:13] But I was broke the only thing I had was game
[00:01:16] I started makin' money and knew things would change
[00:01:19] Bought a Benz thought it might earn respect
[00:01:21] But the OPD found it hard to accept
[00:01:26] Face down on the ground keep my hands in sight
[00:01:29] Put the handcuffs on backseat I'm in it
[00:01:32] Illegal search for about thirty minutes
[00:01:34] Askin' me where's the dope
[00:01:37] Where's my gun but I don't know
[00:01:39] I said I'm rappin' they laugh like I told a joke
[00:01:43] And to this day they think I'm sellin' coke
[00:01:45] I want to be free ohh yeah
[00:01:47] (And that's the truth)
[00:01:50] I want to be free ohh yeah
[00:01:55] I be in Oakland California every day of my life
[00:01:58] Bass so hard you think I'm smokin' a pipe
[00:02:01] And if I don't smoke it I gots to grind
[00:02:03] Searched all my stuff and all you find
[00:02:06] Is a pocket full of money count seven G's
[00:02:09] Now you wanna think I'm sellin' keys
[00:02:11] 'Cause I'm a black man but I run my own business
[00:02:14] So why the police wanna send me to prison
[00:02:17] They see a brother makin' major cash
[00:02:19] They knock a patch out his black ass
[00:02:22] And that's the truth you can't argue you at all
[00:02:24] Tryin' to give you ten years for a phone call
[00:02:27] Ain't even trippin' on the dank smoke
[00:02:30] 'Cause all they wanna find is guns and coke
[00:02:33] In court all the time tryin' to fight it
[00:02:35] We get rich we get witch
[00:02:38] So what's the problem officer this time
[00:02:40] Is havin' big money bein' black a crime
[00:02:42] Or did you take me to jail to teach me a lesson
[00:02:45] Charge me with somethin' or just ask questions
[00:02:48] About the brothers I hang around
[00:02:50] What's really goin' on in the Oakland town
[00:02:53] Tell me who went broke and who got rich
[00:02:56] But Too $hort baby just ain't no snitch
[00:02:59] You say you're just doin' your job
[00:03:01] But you're gettin on my nerves just like Bob
[00:03:04] Every time I hit a corner I see you
[00:03:07] Always tellin' brothers what to do
[00:03:09] You lock me up 'cause I don't know how to act
[00:03:12] But I'm down for mine so I be talkin' back
[00:03:14] And when I do you treat me bad as hell
[00:03:17] I'm sick of spendin' nights in jail
[00:03:20] I want to be free ohh yeah
[00:03:21] (And that's the truth)
[00:03:24] I want to be free ohh yeah
[00:03:43] Walkin' down the street like a broke dopefiend
[00:03:46] Had a pocket full of money tryin' to play the role
[00:03:48] Benz got towed and I was hella cold
[00:03:51] But I ain't trippin' I'm gettin' used to it now
[00:03:54] Handcuffed your boy took me straight downtown
[00:03:56] For three warrants had to catch me sooner or later
[00:03:59] 'Cause the five-oh's always tryin' to jack a playa
[00:04:01] For no reason wasn't doin nothin wrong
[00:04:04] You think I'm lyin' singin' that same ol song
[00:04:07] Well I'm a black man ridin' in a Benz
[00:04:09] How in the hell did I make these ends
[00:04:12] Here we go I pull over to the right
[00:04:15] Stop the engine keep my hands in sight
[00:04:17] I start cursin' 'cause it don't make sense
[00:04:20] Why would I run and try to jump a fence
[00:04:23] If I was plannin' a smooth getaway
[00:04:25] I never woulda stopped in the first place
[00:04:28] You'd be high speed chasin' me but this time you ain't
[00:04:30] 'Cause all I got on me is a big fat bank
[00:04:33] And I hope I don't get robbed by you know who
[00:04:36] Make me donate some G's to the boys in blue
[00:04:38] And if I sue I won't get nothin' back
[00:04:41] But I ain't mad I'm just black
[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] I want to be free ohh yeah
