I Shot The Sheriff Warren G. & Warren G

Ee
This town is run by martial law
And Warren G are the marshall
So, Warren G, just pick up yourself everytime
'Cause you don't know, I say you rule!

(I shot the sheriff)
But I did not shoot the deputy
(All I could think about was war and)
(I shot the sheriff)
But I did not shoot the deputy
(All I could think about was war and)

I had to shoot the sheriff, it was justifiable
He mistaked me for somebody who was liable
For more than many murders, LA's a war field
We keep hittin' war shields
Streets keep souls, young brothers lose control
I seem to maintain through this
Watch where you kick it, they'll put you in a twist
And it ain't nobody like my down ass hommie
And the police always tryin' to pin some bullshit on me

I keep away from fools
They do crime and attract cops
Cops got guns and cuffs
And cells to stuff you in

(I shot the sheriff)
But I did not shoot the deputy
(All I could think about was war and)
(I shot the sheriff)
But I did not shoot the deputy
(All I could think about was war and)

They tryin' to stick with some shit that I did not do
You know who, the boys in blue
There they go with they assumpitons
Slavery's over, let us have somethin'
Why you wanna pull me over?
'Cause I'm bumpin?
I just made a new song, my profession is music
Your profession is protection with gats
Then use it on him when he's tryin' to take my life away
I'm just tryin' to live my life today

So I keep away from fools
They do crime and attract cops
Cops got guns and cuffs
And cells to stuff you in

(I shot the sheriff)
But I did not shoot the deputy
(All I could think about was war and)
(I shot the sheriff)
But I did not shoot the deputy
(All I could think about was war and)

I shot the sheriff
I didn't shoot the deputy, I didn't have to
'Cause in this game they always tryin' to blast you
And leave it to the cops to find out who did the murder
They harass the wrong clan and arrest the wrong man
My hommie J dawg got stretched, but that's okay
'Cause I'ma work for life so he can see another day
A homie's a homie, a fake is a snake
Straight game from the pen from the homie Jake

So I keep away from fools
They do crime and attract cops
Cops got guns and cuffs
And cells to stuff you in

(I shot the sheriff)
But I did not shoot the deputy
(All I could think about was war and)
(I shot the sheriff)
But I did not shoot the deputy
(All I could think about was)

Fire!
Make one shot for da man Warren G
A lick two shot for da G Funk family
A lick three shot for da LBC
A lick four shot for da Jamaican posse

(I shot the sheriff)
But I did not shoot the deputy
(All I could think about was war and)
(I shot the sheriff)
But I did not shoot the deputy
(All I could think about was war and)

(I shot the sheriff)
But I did not shoot the deputy
(All I could think about was war and)
(I shot the sheriff)
But I did not shoot the deputy
