I'm sittin' on my porch watchin the law
As they ride past in their patrol cars
So tell me why I feel the enemy
They're supposed to be here protectin' me
I mighta been too far
Helpin' the contribute to makin' their job hard
Servin' fiends like these people ain't no enemy
I can't believe I'm out here killin' my community
If you knew how far I came
From where I am and where I used to be
Don't want it
You can tell by the look of me 
This gangsta life ain't no longer in me

And I'm tired of the runnin 
Tired of the runnin 
Runnin from the law 
Baby you gotta believe me 
Said I'm tired of the runnin 
Tired of the runnin 
Tired of the runnin 
Runnin from the law 
Baby ya 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 tryin' to make that cheddar 
Thinkin' in my mind you gonna be there forever 
I know I coulda let it all go 
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 ya when ya fallin 
And they'll be no one to hear ya when you're callin 
Do you know what it's like to wake up in the mornin 
While you're starvin you're hearin bugs crawlin' 
Reminiscing on them days you was walkin 
With pretty women on your arm 
While you're starsick 
Thankful that I didn't end up in a coffin 
Somethin you see too often 

I'm tired of the runnin 
Tired of the runnin 
Runnin from the law 
Baby you gotta believe me 
Said I'm tired of the runnin 
Tired of the runnin 
Tired of the runnin 
Runnin from the law 
Baby ya gotta believe me 

Said I'm tired 
So tired 
Said I'm tired of the runnin
Tired of the runnin
Runnin from the law
Baby you gotta believe me 
Said I'm tired of the runnin
Tired of the runnin
Tired of the runnin
Runnin from the law
Baby ya gotta believe me
