I'm sittin' on my porch watchin the law As they ride past in their patrol cars So tell me why I feel the enemy They're supposed to be here protectin' me I mighta 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 runnin Tired of the runnin Runnin from the law Baby you gotta believe me Said I'm tired of the runnin Tired of the runnin Tired of the runnin Runnin from the law Baby ya gotta believe me
I know there's things I coulda changed girl I know there's things I coulda 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 coulda let it all go Let it all go But I was thinkin' it would make life better Instead I'm sittin 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 fallin And they'll be no one to hear ya when you're callin Do you know what it's like to wake up in the mornin While you're starvin you're hearin bugs crawlin' Reminiscing on them days you was walkin With pretty women on your arm While you're starsick Thankful that I didn't end up in a coffin Somethin you see too often
I'm tired of the runnin Tired of the runnin Runnin from the law Baby you gotta believe me Said I'm tired of the runnin Tired of the runnin Tired of the runnin Runnin from the law Baby ya gotta believe me
Said I'm tired So tired Said I'm tired of the runnin Tired of the runnin Runnin from the law Baby you gotta believe me Said I'm tired of the runnin Tired of the runnin Tired of the runnin Runnin from the law Baby ya gotta believe me
