--Chorus--


I Shot The Sheriff


--Chorus--





Verse One:





I Had To Shoot The Sheriff It Was Justifiable


He Mistaked Me For Somebody Who Was Liable


For All Tha Many Murders L.a And War Fields


We Keep Makin War Shields


Streets Keep Souls


Young Brothers Loose Control


I Seem To Maintain Through This


Watch Where Ya Kick It They'll Put You In A Twist


And It Aint Nobody Like My Down Ass Hommie


And Tha Police Always Tryin To Pin Some Bullshit On Me


I Keep Away From Fools


They Do Crime And It Attracts Cops


Cops Got Guns And Cuffs


And Cells To Stuff You In





--Chorus--





Verse Two:





They Tryin' To Stick With Some Bullshit That I Did Not Do


You Know Who


The Boys In Blue


There They Go With They Assumpitons


Slaverys Over Let Us Have Somethin'


Why You Wanna Pull Me Over?


Cuz I'm Bumpin?


I Just Made A New Song


My Profession Is Music


Your Profession Is Protection With Gats


Then Use It On Him When He's Tryin' To Take My Life Away


I'm Just Tryin' To Live My Life Today


So I Keep Away From Fools They Do Crime It Attract Cops


Cops Got Guns And Cuffs


And Cells To Stuff You In





--Chorus--





Verse Three:





I Shot The Sheriff


I Didn't Shoot The Deputiy I Didn't Have To


Cuz In This Game They Always Tryin' To Blast You


And Leave It To Tha Cops To Find Out Who Did The Murder


They Harrase Tha Wrong Clan And Arrest Tha Wrong Man


The Hommie Day-dog Got Strapped But Thats Okay


Cuz I'm Gonna Work For Life


So He Can See Another Day


A Hommies A Hommie


A Fake Is A Snake


Straight Game From Tha Pen From Tha Hommie Jake


So I Keep Away From Fools They Do Crime It Attract Cops


Cops Got Guns And Cuffs


And Cells To Stuff You In
