Eeh this town is run by marshall law And Warren G 
are the marshall So Warren G just pick up yourself 
everytime Play it down now i say you rule

CHORUS

I shot the sheriff But i did not shoot the deputy 
(All I can think about is Warren) I shot the sheriff 
But I did not shoot the deputy 
(All I can think about was Warren)
I had to shoot the sheriff It was justifable 
He mistake me for somebody Who was liable 
For all them many murders La’s a warfield 
We keep heat and war shields 
Streets keeps 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 arse homey And the 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

I shot the sheriff But i did not shoot the deputy 
(All I can think about is Warren) I shot the sheriff 
But I did not shoot the deputy 
(All I can think about was Warren)
They’re tryin to stick me With some shit 
that I did not do You know who The boys in blue 
There they go
