Align:    
  • You think oakland california is a city of punks
  • It only takes a second, to pop the trunk
  • And just like that you know it's real
  • You're in the right damn town to get killed
  • It's all about the game, and nothin else
  • You come out here, you better watch yourself
  • Cause you can wear what you want, even blue or red
  • But cross the wrong brothers, and end up dead
  • You catch a body full of bullets, and get blasted
  • Tryin to be a gangsta but you just ain't lastin
  • This little town is gettin wild as hell
  • Check the penetentiaries and all the jails
  • If they could lock us all up that would be just fine
  • Got my partners from oakland doin serious time
  • You can't argue with the truth it's hard to be black
  • But it's a mindgame, and you gotta deal with that
  • I wake up everyday and i just can't wait
  • To make mo money, cause back in the days
  • When i rapped, i did the same damn thing i do now
  • Grab the microphone, and show you how
  • But i was broke, the only thing i had was game
  • I started makin money and knew things would change
  • Bought a benz, thought it might earn respect
  • But the opd, found it hard to accept
  • I got jacked by the task and jacked by the vice
  • Face down on the ground keep my hands in sight
  • Put the handcuffs on backseat i'm in it
  • Illegal search for about thirty minutes
  • Askin me, where's the dope
  • Where's my gun, but i don't know
  • I said i'm rappin, they laugh like i told a joke
  • And to this day they think i'm sellin coke
  • I want to be free! (and that's the truth) ohhh yeahhh
  • I want to be free! ohhh yeahhh
  • I be in oakland california every day of my life
  • Bass so hard you think i'm smokin a pipe
  • And if i don't smoke it, i gots to grind
  • Searched all my stuff, and all you find
  • Is a pocket full of money count seven g's
  • Now you wanna think i'm sellin keys
  • Cause i'm a black man, but i run my own business
  • So why the police wanna send me to prison
  • They see a brother makin major cash
  • They knock a patch out his black ass
  • And that's the truth, you can't argue you at all
  • Tryin to give you ten years for a phone call
  • Ain't even trippin on the dank smoke
  • Cause all they wanna find, is guns and coke
  • In court all the time tryin to fight it
  • We get rich, we get indeibted
  • So what's the problem officer this time?
  • Is havin big money bein black a crime?
  • Or did you take me to jail, to teach me a lesson
  • Charge me with somethin, or just ask questions
  • About the brothers i hang around
  • What's really goin on in the oakland town
  • Tell me who went broke, and who got rich
  • But too $hort baby just ain't no snitch
  • You say you're just doin your job
  • But you're gettin on my nerves, just like bob
  • Everytime i hit a corner, i see you
  • Always tellin brothers what to do
  • You lock me up cause i don't know how to act
  • But i'm down for mine so i be talkin back
  • And when i do, you treat me bad as hell
  • I'm sick of spendin nights in jail
  • I want to be free! (and that's the truth) ohhh yeahhh
  • I want to be free! ohhh yeahhh
  • Got out of jail about fo'-fifteen
  • Walkin down the street like a broke dopefiend
  • Had a pocket full of money tryin to play the role
  • Benz got towed and i was hella cold
  • But i ain't trippin, i'm gettin used to it now
  • Handcuffed your boy took me straight downtown
  • For three warrants, had to catch me sooner or later
  • Cause the five-oh's always tryin to jack a playa
  • For no reason, wasn't doin nothin wrong
  • You think i'm lyin, singin that same ol song
  • Well i'm a black man, ridin in a benz
  • How in the hell did i make these ends? here we go
  • I pull over to the right
  • Stop the engine keep my hands in sight
  • I start cursin, cause it don't make sense
  • Why would i run and try to jump a fence
  • If i was plannin, a smooth getaway
  • I never woulda stopped in the first place
  • You'd be high speed chasin me but this time you ain't
  • Cause all i got on me is a big fat bank
  • And i hope i don't get robbed by you know who
  • Make me donate some g's to the boys in blue
  • And if i sue, i won't get nothin back
  • But i ain't mad... i'm just black...
  • I want to be free! ohhh yeahhh
  • I want to be free! ohhh yeahhh
  • I want to be free! ohhh yeahhh
  • I want to be free! ohhh yeahhh
