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
