tired of running

i'm sittin on my porch watchin the law

as they ride past in they 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' to contribute to makin their job hard

servin' fiends like these people ain't no kin to me

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

i don't want it

you can tell by the look at me

this gangsta life ain't no longer in me

and i'm tired of the runnin'

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 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 that you gon' be there forever

i know i could've 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 you 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

reminiscin' on them days you was walkin'

with pretty women on your arm while you're flossin'

thankful that i didn't end up in a coffin

somethin you see too often

and i'm tired of the runnin'

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. said i'm tired. i said i'm tired. so tired

yeah

and i'm tired of the runnin'

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.
