I’m patrolin the town, lookin ‘round for a crime
The cuttin’ the budget, but they won’t cut mine
Cause my eye is sharp, mess around if ya wanna
Lawbreakers beware, I got to fill my quota
Freddy don’t you do know back talkin’
You know you ain’t supposed to be drunk walkin
Freddy’s walkin home
I see a man all a-bumblin’ down the street
Either a light-skinned colored or a tall Chinese
Can’t tell for sure, but it sure don’t matter
I can smell a troublemaker like shit on a cracker
Freddy don’t you do know back talkin’
You know you ain’t supposed to be drunk walkin
Freddy’s walkin home
He say, “Why’d you pull me over? Ain’t even in my car.
Figured I was too drunk after I closed my bar
I’m a businessman with a reputation
Are you done yet with this investigation?”
I said, “Shut up, Freddy.
Shut up, Freddy.
I’m locked and loaded and my hands are steady.
You just think about runnin, you’ll be dead already
Shut up, Freddy.
Shut up, Freddy.
Got backup on the way and they ready too
What you know ‘bout a murder June of ’92?
Freddy don’t you do know back talkin’
You know you ain’t supposed to be drunk walkin
Freddy’s walkin home
