Lyrics:
[Chorus:]
I shot the sheriff, but I didn’t shoot the deputy...
I shot the sheriff, but I didn’t shoot the deputy...
I had to shoot the sheriff it was justifiable
He mistaked me for somebody who was liable
For all the many murders LA’s a war field
We keep makin war shields
Streets keep souls, young brothers loose control
I seem to maintain through this
Watch where ya kick it they’ll put you in a twist
And it aint nobody like my down ass homie
And the police always tryin to pin some bullshit on me
I keep away from fools, they do crime and it attracts cops
Cops got guns and cuffs and cells to stuff you in
