Tired Of Runnin'
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm sitting on my porch watching the law
As they ride past in they patrol cars
So tell me why I feel like the enemy
They're supposed to be here protecting me
I might have went too far
Helping to contribute to making they job hard
Serving fiends like these people ain't no enemy
I can't believe I'm out here killing my community
If you knew how far I came (far I came)
From where I am and where I used to be (where I used to be)
Don't want it, you can tell by the look at me
This gangsta life ain't no longer in me
And I'm tired of the running, tired of the running
Tired of the running, running from the law
Baby you gotta believe me
Said I'm tired of the running, tired of the running
Tired of the running, running 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 cheddar
Thinkin in my mind that you gon' be there forever
I know I could've let it all go (let it all go)
But I was thinkin it would make life better
Instead I'm sitting in this cell writing 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 falling
And they'll be no one to hear you when you're calling
Do you know what it's like to wake up in the morning
While you're starving you're hearin bugs crawling
Reminiscin on them days you was walking
With pretty women on your arm while you're flossing
Thankful that I didn't end up in a coffin
Somethin you see too often
And I'm tired of the running, tired of the running
Tired of the running, running from the law
Baby you gotta believe me
Said I'm tired of the running, tired of the running
Tired of the running, running from the law
Baby you gotta believe me
Said I'm tired
Said I'm tired
I said I'm tired
So tired, yeah
I'm tired of the running, tired of the running
Tired of the runnin, running from the law
Baby you gotta believe me
Said I'm tired of the running, tired of the running
Tired of the running, running from the law
Baby you gotta believe me
Said I'm tired
