Karaoké I Shot the Sheriff Warren G

But I did not shoot the deputy

But I did not shoot the deputy

I had to shoot the sheriff it was justifiable

He mistake me for somebody who was liable

From all the many murders

LA's a war field

We keep heatin' more shields streets keep souls young brothers lose control

I seem to maintain through dis watch where you kick it they'll put you in a twist

An' it ain't nobody like my down assed homie

An' da police always try'n to pin some bull on me

I keep away from fools they do crime an' attract cops

Cops got guns an' cuffs an' cells to stuff you in

But I did not shoot the deputy

But I did not shoot the deputy

They tryin' to stick me with some

That I did not do you know who da boys in blue

There they go with their assumptions

Slavery's over let us have somethin' why

You wanna pull me over 'cos I'm bumpin'

I just made a new song my profession is music

Your profession is protection wit gats

Then use it on him when he's tryin' to take my life away

I'm jus' tryin' to live my life today

So I keep away from fools they do crime an' attract cops

Cops got guns an' cuffs an' cells to stuff you in

But I did not shoot the deputy

But I did not shoot the deputy

I shot the sheriff I didn't shoot the deputy I didn't have to

'Cos in this game they always tryin' to blast you

But leave it to the cops to find out who did the murder

They harass the wrong clan an' arrest the wrong man

Now homie Jay don't got stretch but that's okay

'Cos I'm a work for life so he could see another day

A homie's a homie a fake is a snake

Straight game from the pen fo' my homie Jay

So I keep away from fools they do crime an' attract cops

Cops got guns an' cuffs an' cells to stuff you in

But I did not shoot the deputy

But I did not shoot the deputy

But I did not shoot the deputy

But I did not shoot the deputy

But I did not shoot the deputy

But I did not shoot the deputy
