Cottbus

Cottbus (German pronunciation: [ˈkɔtbʊs]; Lower Sorbian: Chóśebuz; Polish: Chociebuż; Czech: Chotěbuz) is a university city in Brandenburg, Germany. Situated around 125 km (78 mi) southeast of Berlin, on the River Spree, Cottbus is also a major railway junction with extensive sidings/depots.

Spelling

Until the beginning of the twentieth century the spelling of the city's name was contentious. In Berlin the spelling "Kottbus" was preferred, and it is still used in respect of the capital's Kottbusser Tor ("Cottbus Gate"), but locally the traditional spelling "Cottbus" (which defies standard German-language rules) was preferred, and this is now used in most circumstances. Because the official spelling used locally before the spelling reforms of 1996 had contravened even the standardized spelling rules already in place, the Standing Committee for Geographical Names stress their urgent recommendation that geographical names should respect the national spelling standards. In this context it is to be noted that to identify a citizen of the city either "Cottbuser" or "Cottbusser" may be used.

Bezirk Cottbus

The Bezirk Cottbus was a district (Bezirk) of East Germany. The administrative seat and the main town was Cottbus.

History

The district was established, with the other 13, on July 25, 1952, substituting the old German states. After October 3, 1990, it was disestablished due to the German reunification, becoming again part of the state of Brandenburg. However, districts of Hoyerswerda and Weißwasser went to Saxony and ones of Bad Liebenwerda, Jessen and Herzberg went to Saxony-Anhalt.

    Like Some Ho's

    by: Geto Boys

    Intro:
    [Willie D]
    Geto Boys
    (G.B.)'98
    We gonna set this shit straight, belive that
    Don't you wish sometimes you can be free
    Free from incarceration
    Free from paying them bills
    Free to come and go when ya feel
    Most of all, free from them haters
    Verse 1:
    [Willie D]
    So many problems that exist in my world today
    When I'm deceased, I want my little baby girl to say
    That he was real
    He loved me with all his heart
    He loved mama too
    Even though they sometimes fought
    A young nigga in the ghetto
    With plenty of dreams
    Surrounded by the police
    And many of fiends
    At 13 started mobbin'
    14 started robbin'
    It's hard to have morals and values
    When you're starvin'
    Abused, misused, and plus a bad dresser
    Nobody ever told me I was special
    I put a gang of tears in my mamma's eyes
    But she died
    Before I got a chance to apologize
    It hurts to see my baby sister feeling the pain
    It hurts to see my baby brother still in the game
    Ain't nothin' change but my finances
    I still be stressed
    All these motherf**king worries got a nigga depressed
    I'm just tired
    Every night, I pray to Jesus, rescue me
    >From the poverty, hate, racism and diseases
    So the lord said
    He prepared a place for me
    And when he do that
    I'ma be free, yeah
    Chorus:
    I wanna be free
    No more player hater
    I gotta be free
    Verse 2:
    [Scarface]
    Now as I walk around in my drawers
    Outside smoking weed while I scratch my balls
    I'm reminsing on my homies who been lock tight
    Or got light
    Behind trying to feed their family one night
    It's not right
    Suppose you watch your mamma suffer
    Cause ain't another
    Her kids trying they off they ass
    It's gettin' rougher and tougher
    By all means nigga get your cream
    Stop storming what they calling this American dream
    And why you looking up for a role model
    You be your model
    Look who we follow
    Niggas forgot about the problem
    And single parent upbringings
    We doing bad on our ass
    Nigga f**k singing
    How you gonna tell me to keep it positive
    And growing up I didn't have a pop to give
    So these mother f**king streets is where I gots to live
    F**k what you saying 'bout me
    I'm sittin'on a couple G's and smoking weed
    I'm free
    Chorus:
    I wanna be free
    No more player hater
    I gotta be free
    I wanna be free
    Gettin' tired of waitin'
    I gotta be free
    Verse 3:
    [Willie D]
    Nobody understands me but me
    It used to bother me at first
    But now my conscience is free
    I ask the lord to give me strength
    And bless the hood
    And keep these fake motherf**kers out my life for good
    Knock on wood
    I'm still here through all these trials and tribulations
    Tryin' to make it
    Shit, a lot of niggas couldn't take it
    My girls hate it
    When I go to clubs and stay out late
    She think I'm f**king around with hoes
    Gimme a break
    Get off my case
    Can I be committed to you
    And ride 'round without feelin' tied down
    Damn girl, I catch enough hell on the streets
    When I come home
    I want some tender lovin' and peace
    No one can take your place, you my ace
    I dig your jealously boo
    But sometimes I need my space
    I keep you laced
    Like you won the lottery see
    But God damn I gotta be free
    Chorus:(2x)
    I wanna be free
    No more player hater
    I gotta be free
    I wanna be free
    Gettin' tired of waitin'
