Artist: Warren G
Album: Take A Look Over Your Shoulder (Reality)
Song: I shot the sheriff

(Chorus) x2
I shot the sheriff
But i didn't shoot the deputy
(All i could think about was Warren)

I had to shoot the sheriff, it was justifiable
He mistake me for somebody who was liable
For more than many murders LA's a warfield
We keep hidden warshieds
Streets keep souls
Young brothas lose control
I'd seen to maintain through this
Watch where you kick it
They a put you in a twist
And it ain't nobody like my down ass homey
And the police always trying to pin some bullshit on
I keep away from fools
They do crimes and attract
Cops, cops got guns and cuffs and cells to stuff you in

(Chorus) x2
I shot the sheriff
But i didn't shoot the deputy
(All i could think about was Warren)

They tryin to stick me with some shit
That i didn't do
You know who, the boys in blue
Yeah they go with they assumptions slavery's over
Let us have something
And 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 trying to take my life away
I'm just trying to live my life today
So i keep away from fools
They do crimes and attract
Cops, cops got guns and cuffs and cells to stuff you in

(Chorus) x2
I shot the sheriff
But i didn't shoot the deputy
(All i could think about was Warren)

I shot the sheriff
I didn't shoot the deputy
I didn't have to
Cuz in this game they always trying to blast you
When leaving to the cops to find out who did the murder
They harass the wrong clan and arrest the wrong man
The homey Jay Dogg got stretched 
But that's ok 
Cuz i'ma work for life
So he can see another day
A homey's a homey
A fake is a snake
Straight game from the pen from the homey J
So i keep away from fools
They do crimes and attract
Cops, cops got guns and cuffs and cells to stuff you in

(Chorus) x2
I shot the sheriff
But i didn't shoot the deputy
(All i could think about was Warren)

Fire
Make one shot for tha man Warren G
I lack two shot for the G Funk family
I lack three shot for tha LBC
I lack four shot for the ???

(Chorus) x4
I shot the sheriff
But i didn't shoot the deputy
(All i could think about was Warren)
