Lyrics
(I shot the sheriff)
'Cause when it all falls down, oh-oh
I only got myself, oh-oh
I nearly lost myself
All the loss I felt, I felt
I pray to God I never let these inner demons get me tied out
I won't ever put myself in places I can't climb out
How you wanna hold me close but still be holdin' doubt?
Bein' a real nigga weighs much more than all that clout
You cannot take my soul
All alone
Prayed alone, mm
Still a light, I built this on my own
I sense the jealousy
Can't stop my destiny
I pray my soul's at peace
Lost in these melodies, oh
They wanna see me dead, I'm a martyr
But we win instead, mm-hmm
If we check the score when it's said and done
Then I'm still ahead, ah-oh
They didn't believe in a miracle, look what God did
Tried to make me fold but some things just don't bend
You cannot take my soul
All alone
Prayed alone, mm
Still a light, I built this on my own
I sense the jealousy
Can't stop my destiny
I pray my soul's at peace
Lost in these melodies, oh
