I Shot the Sheriff (Remix)

I Shot the sheriff

[Verse 1]

If it's the Black man they fear

Tell me why they brought me here

If I'm a criminal from birth

What shall I call you who scorch the earth?

Crooked cop that do the devil work that's all they know

Silent cop that don't do nothing they the worst for sure

My people fight for their bodies and for their soul

Go to war with police in the ghetto

Government fucked up can't believe me

You're just a pawn can't you see

Pon' my neck they press their knee

Make it hardеr and harder to breathe

So!

[Chorus]

I Shot thе sheriff (one mo time, one mo time)

It was I who Shot the Sheriff

But I didn't shoot the deputy

[Verse 2]

Now now please now let's be civil

We can both try to leave in living

Police don't like my suggestion

Say we all make tough decisions

He ain't see me violate

And I know he won't hesitate

Could have just let me walk away but hey

In the middle of the madness

Broad daylight, ray's bounce off my Blackness

Whole operation, don't help my chances

More confirmation, my life don't matter

Knees on my neck and my head on a platter

Life start flashing thoughts of the babies

No one to save them

So many cameras

You won't understand but I had to

[Chorus]

I Shot the sheriff

But I didn't shoot the deputy

I Shot the sheriff

But I didn't shoot the deputy
