Tired of Running (feat. Akon)

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

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

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 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

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

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

Said I'm tired

So tired, yeah

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
