True story that happened to me

lyrics

I was downtown just hanging around
When The Man came and bothered me
He said "son I gotta warn ya
And I don't mean to scorn ya
But it's against the law to smoke that weed"

Now I'm busted, yeah it happened again
Busted since I don't know when
Busted, yeah it's happened before
I can already hear 'em slammin' that door on me

They took me downtown, pushed me around, then
Then finally took the cuffs offa me
Put me in a cell that stank like hell
Oh why can't a man be free

No I'm busted, yeah it happened again
Busted since I don't know when
Busted, yeah it's happened before
I can already hear 'em slammin' that door on me

Now I'm busted, yeah it happened again
Busted since I don't know when
Busted, yeah it's happened before
I can already hear 'em slammin' that door cause I'm
Busted, yeah it happened again
Busted since I don't know when
Busted, and it'll happen again
Cause I'm still hanging with the same old friends, oh yeah
That's why I'm busted...
