1-I shot the sheriff... Verse 1: I had to shoot the sheriff it was justifiable

he mistaked me for somebody who was liable

for all tha many murders l.a and war fields

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 hommie

and tha 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-- Verse 2: They tryin' to stick with some bullshit that I did not do

you know who

the boys in blue

there they go with they assumpitons

slaverys 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 attract cops

cops got guns and cuffs

and cells to stuff you in --Chorus-- Verse 3: I shot the sheriff

I didn't shoot the deputiy I didn't have to

'cause in this game they always tryin' to blast you

and leave it to tha cops to find out who did the murder

they harrase tha wrong clan and arrest tha wrong man

the hommie day-dog got strapped but thats okay

'cause I'm gonna work for life

so he can see another day

a hommies a hommie

a fake is a snake

straight game from tha pen from tha hommie jake

so I keep away from fools they do crime it attract cops

cops got guns and cuffs

and cells to stuff you in
