I Shot The Sheriff

Ee

This town is run by martial law

And Warren G are the marshall

So, Warren G, just pick up yourself everytime

'Cause you don't know, I say you rule!

(I shot the sheriff)

But I did not shoot the deputy

(All I could think about was war and)

(I shot the sheriff)

But I did not shoot the deputy

(All I could think about was war and)

I had to shoot the sheriff, it was justifiable

He mistaked me for somebody who was liable

For more than many murders, LA's a war field

We keep hittin' war shields

Streets keep souls, young brothers lose control

I seem to maintain through this

Watch where you kick it, they'll put you in a twist

And it ain't nobody like my down ass hommie

And the police always tryin' to pin some bullshit on me

I keep away from fools

They do crime and attract cops

Cops got guns and cuffs

And cells to stuff you in

(I shot the sheriff)

But I did not shoot the deputy

(All I could think about was war and)

(I shot the sheriff)

But I did not shoot the deputy

(All I could think about was war and)

They tryin' to stick with some shit that I did not do

You know who, the boys in blue

There they go with they 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 and attract cops

Cops got guns and cuffs

And cells to stuff you in

(I shot the sheriff)

But I did not shoot the deputy

(All I could think about was war and)

(I shot the sheriff)

But I did not shoot the deputy

(All I could think about was war and)

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 harass the wrong clan and arrest the wrong man

My hommie J dawg got stretched, but that's okay

'Cause I'ma 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 and attract cops

Cops got guns and cuffs

And cells to stuff you in

(I shot the sheriff)

But I did not shoot the deputy

(All I could think about was war and)

(I shot the sheriff)

But I did not shoot the deputy

(All I could think about was)

Fire!

Make one shot for da man Warren G

A lick two shot for da G Funk family

A lick three shot for da LBC

A lick four shot for da Jamaican posse

(I shot the sheriff)

But I did not shoot the deputy

(All I could think about was war and)

(I shot the sheriff)

But I did not shoot the deputy

(All I could think about was war and)

(I shot the sheriff)

But I did not shoot the deputy

(All I could think about was war and)

(I shot the sheriff)

But I did not shoot the deputy

(All I could think about was war and)
