Letras

[Verse 1]
I'm sittin on my porch, watchin' the law
(Watchin' the law)
As they ride past in they patrol cars (Patrol cars)
So tell me why I feel like the enemy? (Enemy)
Force supposed to be protecting me (Ah)
I might have went too far (Too far)
Helpin' to contribute to making they job hard (Job hard)
Servin' fiends like these people ain't no enemy
I can't believe I'm out here killin' my community (Ah)
[Verse 2]
If you knew how far I came (Far I came)
From where I am and where I used to be (Where I used to be)
Don't want it, you can tell by the look at me (By the look at me)
This gangsta life ain't no longer in me
[Verse 3]
And I'm tired of the runnin', tired of the runnin'
Tired of the runnin' (Runnin')
Runnin' from the law (Runnin' from the law)
Baby, you gotta believe me (Me)
Said, I'm tired of the runnin', tired of the runnin'
Tired of the runnin' (Runnin')
Runnin' from the law (Runnin' from the law)
Baby, you gotta believe me (Me)
[Verse 4]
I know there's things I could've changed, girl (Girl)
I know there's things I could've done a lot better
(A lot better)
Instead I'm in the streets, tryna make that cheddar
(That cheddar)
Thinkin' in my mind you gonna be there forever
(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
(Make life better)
Instead I'm sittin' in this cell writin' this letter
(Writin' this letter)
Thought I wouldn't get caught 'cause I was much too clever
(Way too clever)
I learned there's no one to catch you when you're fallin' (Fallin')
And they'll be no one to hear you when you're callin' (Callin')
Do you know what it's like to wake up in the morn' (In the morn')
While you're starvin', you're hearing bugs crawlin'? (Bugs crawlin')
Reminiscin' on them days you was walkin' (Walkin')
With pretty women on your arm while you're flossin' (Flossin')
Thankful that I didn't end up in a coffin (In a coffin)
Some would see too often
[Verse 5]
And I'm tired of the runnin', tired of the runnin'
Tired of the runnin' (Runnin')
Runnin' from the law (Runnin' from the law)
Baby, you gotta believe me (Me)
Said, I'm tired of the runnin', tired of the runnin'
Tired of the runnin' (Runnin')
Runnin' from the law (Runnin' from the law)
Baby, you gotta believe me (Me)
[Verse 6]
Said, I'm tired (Tired)
Said, I'm tired (Tired)
I said, I'm tired (Tired)
So tired (Tired)
Yeah
[Verse 7]
Said, I'm tired of the runnin', tired of the runnin'
Tired of the runnin' (Runnin')
Runnin' from the law (Runnin' from the law)
You gotta believe me (Me)
Said, I'm tired of the runnin', tired of the runnin'
Tired of the runnin' (Runnin')
Runnin' from the law (Runnin' from the law)
You gotta believe me (Me)
Said, I'm tired (Tired)
