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
