[Verse 1]
I'm sittin' on my porch watchin' the law
As they ride past in they patrol cars
So tell me why I feel like the enemy
They supposed to be here protectin' me
[Verse 2]
I might've went too far
Helpin' to contribute to makin' their job hard
Servin' fiends like these people ain't no kin to me
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
I don't want it, you can tell by the look at me
This gangsta life ain't no longer in me
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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 tryna make that cheddar
Thinkin' in my mind that you gon' be there forever
I know I coulda 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
[Verse 5]
I learned there's no one to catch you when you're fallin'
And they'll be no one to hear you when you're callin'
Do you know what it's like to wake up in the morning?
While you're starvin', you're hearin' bugs crawlin'
Reminiscin' on the days you was walkin'
With pretty women on your arm while you're flossin'
Thankful that I didn't end up in a coffin
Something we see too often
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Said I'm tired
Said I'm tired
Said I'm tired
So tired, yeah
[Verse 8]
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
