I´m sittin´ on my porch watchin the law
As they ride past in their patrol cars
So tell me why I feel the enemy
They´re supposed to be here protectin´ me
I mighta been 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 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 coulda changed girl
I know there´s things I coulda 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 coulda let it all go
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 ya 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´
Reminiscing on them days you was walkin
With pretty women on your arm
While you´re starsick
Thankful that I didn´t end up in a coffin
Somethin you see too often

I´m 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
So tired
Said I´m 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
