Lyrics

When I Get Free

[Skit: Prison Guard & Girl & Prisoner]

Inmate 'Pac, C57797, you got a visitor. Right there, star three

Hi baby

What's up honey?

Hey you know it's just only one more week until family visit

Yeah I'ma rock them drawers. Yeah, but you did you take care of that business I asked you to do?

I made those deposits

Okay that's cool you bring that shit?

Yeah I got it

Alright see that guard over there?

Mmm-hmm

When you get done just hand him the shit, he know whassup

Alright, hey you know E just got cracked, he's in jail now

What?

Yeah, Go-Go's out. I just saw him running around the other day

Ahh, fuck that fool. But anyway, what's happening with my moms?

She gave me a message for you. She said she's sorry she couldn't be here today, but she'll be here next week

Alright, well check this out, I got something real important I want you to tell her

C'mon c'mon this shit's over with

*Commotion breaks out*

C'mon boy, back to your cell

I'm not done talking to him

Shut that shit up bitch! He's outta here, c'mon

Don't be calling my woman no bitch! Nigga I'll fuck you up!

Yeah yeah fool, keep walking

Let me out these chains....with your broke ass sucka

Yeah yeah, that's what they all say fool

Yeah what! Let me out then

Institutionalized, and this is your home...

[Verse]

Guess who's back, and ready to knock off a cop or two

Cause me and the crew could still get our rocks off

The Penitentiary don't stop a nigga cause he's in jail

Hell I'm makin' more money on the street from here in a cell

I'm livin' proper, the coppers is havin' fits

I just made the profit, you punks ain't stoppin' shit

I still remember my momma told me

Find the cop who killed your brother

Send him to Hell lookin' homely

'Cause a real nigga love the law

What's raw is a nigga that's above the law

Keep pressin' your luck and get fucked, huh

Think a nigga don't know what's up 'cause he's locked up

But in the meantime, it's get swole get clean time

Concentrate on gettin' green time

And as the years go by, they forgot

About the small time soldier from the block, huh

To kill the crook they threw the book at me

Don't worry be nappy, don't even look happy

Put me in the hole, gave me cold cuts

Did push-ups until I swole up

And then they offer me a furlough

But what they don't know as soon as I get free I'm killin' five mo'

They asked me if I changed much

I told 'em 'Yeah' even though I'm still the same nut

They started askin' me questions about my brother

And makin' remarks about my mother, hmm

Wait a minute, hold up

Makin' jokes about my folks'll get yours blown up

They sent me back to the hole for what I told 'em

I guess he didn't believe me, so I showed him

He went home to find a tragedy

Nigga, that's what you get for tryin' to badger me

And anybody else that wanna sweat me

I'm already in jail so you punks can't get me

You better pray they never see me

'Cause if they let me free, prepare for trouble on the streets

[Chorus]

When I get free, huh

When I get free, huh

When I get free

When I get free, huh

When I get free, huh

When I get free

When I get free
