Tired Of Running
Snoop Lion Lyrics

I'm sittin on my porch watchin' the law
I'm sitting on my porch observing the police as they patrol the streets.

As they ride past in they patrol cars
As they drive by in their police vehicles.

So tell me why I feel like the enemy
I'm questioning why I feel like the police see me as an adversary.

They supposed to be here protectin' me
Their duty is to protect me, but I feel like they are treating me as a suspect.

I might have went too far
My actions may have contributed to making their job difficult.

Helpin' to contribute to makin' their job hard
Assisting in making their work challenging.

Servin' fiends like these people ain't no kin to me
I'm providing drugs to strangers who are not related to me.

I can't believe I'm out here killin' my community
I'm deeply troubled by the fact that my actions are harmful to the neighborhood I live in.

If you knew how far I came (far I came)
If you knew my life story and how much I've progressed.

From where I am and where I used to be (where I used to be)
The contrast between my present and past is immense.

I don't want it, you can tell by the look at me
I no longer desire this lifestyle, and it's evident from my demeanor.

This gangsta life ain't no longer in me
I have decided to leave behind the gangster lifestyle.

And I'm tired of the runnin', tired of the runnin'
I'm exhausted from running away from the law.

Tired of the runnin', runnin' from the law
I'm tired of evading the authorities.

Baby you gotta believe me
I need you to trust that I'm being sincere.

Said I'm tired of the runnin', tired of the runnin'
I'm reiterating that I'm fed up with running away from the police.

I know there's things I could've changed girl
I'm aware of the mistakes I've made and could have acted differently.

I know there's things I could've done a lot better
I acknowledge that I could have performed much better in certain aspects of my life.

Instead I'm in the streets tryin' to make that cheddar
However, I'm still hustling on the streets to make money.

Thinkin' in my mind that you gon' be there forever
I'm under the false assumption that my partner will always be there to support me.

I know I could've let it all go (let it all go)
I understand that I could have given up this lifestyle and moved on.

But I was thinkin' it would make life better (make life better)
But I mistakenly believed that continuing to hustle would improve my life.

Instead, I'm sittin' in this cell writin' this letter
My current situation is far from ideal, and I'm currently in prison writing this note.

Thought I wouldn't get caught cause I was way too clever
I deluded myself to believe that I was too smart to get caught by the authorities.

I learned there's no one to catch ya when ya fallin'
I came to understand that there are no safety nets when you make a mistake in this lifestyle.

And they'll be no one to hear you when you're callin'
And when you cry for help, no one will listen.

Do you know what it's like to wake up in the mornin'
Do you understand the horrors of waking up each day?

While you're starvin' you're hearin' bugs crawlin'
Feeling hungry and listening to insects crawl around you.

Reminiscin' on them days you was walkin'
Remembering the days when things were different.

With pretty women on your arm while you're flossin'
Recalling a time when you had beautiful partners and flaunting wealth and status.

Thankful that I didn't end up in a coffin
Grateful for not dying young like many others who were part of this lifestyle.

Somethin' we see too often
Sadly, this is a common occurrence for those who live this lifestyle.

Said I'm tired
Repeating my exhaustion with my current situation.

So tired, yeah
I'm incredibly tired and fatigued.
