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 went 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
