I Shot The Sheriff Lyrics By Warren G

    nanci fletcher
    eeee
    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

    warren g boogie down productions
    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

    warren g
    i had to shoot the sheriff it was justifiable
    he mistaked me for somebody who was liable
    to more than many murders
    la’s a war fields
    we keep making 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 tha 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

    warren g boogie down productions
    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

    warren g
    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
    slaverys over let us have somethin’
    why you wanna pull me over
    cuz 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 it attract cops
    cops got guns and cuffs
    and cells to stuff you in

    warren g boogie down productions

    warren g
    i shot the sheriff
    i didn’t shoot the deputiy i didn’t have to
    cuz in this game they always tryin’ to blast you
    and leave it to tha cops to find out who did the murder
    they harrase tha wrong clan and arrest tha wrong man
    the hommie daydog got strapped but thats okay
    cuz i’m gonna work for life
    so he can see another day
    a hommies a hommie
    a fake is a snake
    straight game from tha pen from tha hommie jake
    so i keep away from fools they do crime it attract cops
    cops got guns and cuffs
    and cells to stuff you in
