I'm sittin' on my porch watching the law
|
As they ride past in their patrol cars
|
So tell me why I feel like the enemy
|
They're supposed to be here protectin' me
|
I might have been too far
|
Helpin' the contribute to makin' their job hard
|
Servin' fiends like these people ain't no enemy
|
I can't believe I'm out here killin' my community
|
If you knew how far I came
|
From where I am and where I used to be
|
Don't want it
|
You can tell by the look of me
|
This gangsta life ain't no longer in me
|
|
And I'm tired of the running
|
Tired of the running
|
Running from the law
|
Baby you gotta believe me
|
Said I'm tired of the running
|
Tired of the running
|
Tired of the running
|
Running from the law
|
Baby ya gotta believe me
|
|
I know there's things I could've changed girl
|
I know there's things I could've done a lot better
|
Instead I'm in the streets tryin' to make that cheddar
|
Thinkin' in my mind you gonna be there forever
|
I know I could've let it all go
|
Let it all go
|
But I was thinkin' it would make life better
|
Instead I'm sitting in this cell writin' this letter
|
Thought I wouldn't get caught cause I was way too clever
|
I learned there's no one to catch ya when ya falling
|
And they'll be no one to hear ya when you're calling
|
Do you know what it's like to wake up in the morning
|
While you're starving you're hearing bugs crawlin'
|
Reminiscing on them days you was walking
|
With pretty women on your arm
|
While you're starsick
|
Thankful that I didn't end up in a coffin
|
Something you see too often
|
|
I'm tired of the running
|
Tired of the running
|
Running from the law
|
Baby you gotta believe me
|
Said I'm tired of the running
|
Tired of the running
|
Tired of the running
|
Running from the law
|
Baby ya gotta believe me
|
|
Said I'm tired
|
So tired
|
Said I'm tired of the running
|
Tired of the running
|
Running from the law
|
Baby you gotta believe me
|
Said I'm tired of the running
|
Tired of the running
|
Tired of the running
|
Running from the law
|
Baby ya gotta believe me
|
