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

[Chorus:]

They tryin' to stick me with some shit that I did not do
You know who, the boys in blue
There they go with their 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, it attracts cops
Cops got guns and cuffs and cells to stuff you in

[Chorus:]

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 harrase the wrong clan and arrest the wrong man
the homie day-dog got strapped but thats okay
Cause I'm gonna 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 it, attract cops
Cops got guns and cuffs and cells to stuff you in
