Warren G - I Shot The Sheriff

Lyrics: [Chorus:] I shot the sheriff, but I didn’t shoot the deputy... I shot the sheriff, but I didn’t shoot the deputy... I had to shoot the sheriff it was justifiable He mistaked me for somebody who was liable For all the many murders LA’s a war field 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 homie And the 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:] They tryin’ to stick me with some shit that I did not do You know who, the boys in blue There they go with their assumpitons Slavery’s over let us have somethin’ Why you wanna pull me over? cause 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 attracts cops Cops got guns and cuffs and cells to stuff you in [Chorus:] I shot the sheriff I didn’t shoot the deputy, I didn’t have to Cause in this game they always tryin’ to blast you And leave it to the cops to find out who did the murder They harrase the wrong clan and arrest the wrong man the homie day-dog got strapped but thats okay Cause I’m gonna work for life so he can see another day A homie’s a homie, a fake is a snake Straight game from the pen from the homie jake So I keep away from fools, they do crime it, attract cops Cops got guns and cuffs and cells to stuff you in
