I'm sittin' on my porch watchin' the law As they ride past in they patrol car So tell me why I feel like the enemy Who's supposed to be here protectin' me I might've went too far Helpin' to contribute to makin' they job hard Servin' things 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 Where I am and where I used to be Still don't want it You can tell by the look at me This case of life ain't no longer in me And I'm tired of the runnin' Tired of the runnin' Tired of the runnin' Runnin' from the law Baby, you gotta believe me I said I'm tired of the runnin' Tired of the runnin' Tired of the runnin' Runnin' from the law Baby, you gotta believe me I know there's things I could've changed, girl I know there's things I could've done a lot better Instead I'm in the streets tryin' to make that shatter Thinkin' in my mind that you gon' be there forever I know I could've let it all go But I was thinkin' it would make life better Instead I'm sittin' in a cell writin' this letter Thought I wouldn't get caught cause I was way too clever I learned there's no one to catch you when you fallin' And there'll be no one to hear you when you callin' Do you know what it's like to wake up in the mornin'? Why you snarvin'? You're hearin' bugs crawlin' Reminiscin' on them days you was walkin' With pretty women on your arm while you flossin' I'm 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' Tired of the runnin' Runnin' from the law Baby you gotta believe me I said I'm tired of the runnin' Tired of the runnin' Tired of the runnin' Runnin' from the law Baby you gotta believe me I said I'm tired I said I'm tired I said I'm tired So tired I said I'm tired of the runnin' Tired of the runnin' Tired of the runnin' Runnin' from the law You gotta believe me I said I'm tired of the runnin' Tired of the runnin' Tired of the runnin' Runnin' from the law You gotta believe me I said I'm tired I said I'm tired I said I'm tired
