inflowential - sheriff lyrics

[intro 1: patricia grimes, news clip]
the violence has to stop
my child’s death will not be meaningless

[verse 1]
rest in peace sean bell
rest in peace ‘dou diallo
rest in peace ossie green[?]
rest in peace chris grimes

[verse 2]
yo, yo
you see the front page
you hear it on the news
they talkin’ ’bout a gang
they say they wearin’ blue
but, nah, he wasn’t crippin’
somebody gotta listen
his mission is different
{?]
it happened in new orleans
same thing in oakland
see that gun smokin’
n-body hafta rope him[?]
so i had my burner, but it’s permitted
and i only use it, dang, on those deservin’ it
i’m cruisin’ down the street
the reefer in my hand
knew he wouldn’t understand
d-mn, so i ran
i’m worried about a honey
i’m comin’ to a dead end
i put my hands up
that’s when he drew his weapon
let off, tried to k!ll me execution style
y’all the beast, i’m the prey
lex luthor injustice just attacked so we busted ours back {?]
bang, i let the shots ring
hear my words

[chorus]
i shot the sheriff
yeah, i shot him
but i didn’t shoot the deputy
you know the song, you know the song sing along, c’mon
i shot the sheriff
yeah, i shot him
but i swear it was in self defense
i guess he had it comin’
hey, yo, i guess he had it comin’

[verse 2]
it’s forty one for diallo
fifty for sean bell
courtesy of ny city committee
bullet sheriffs[?] pulled and they shot him
ain’t nothin’ but a wallet[?]
now that don’t make no sense
i can’t call it but i hear it down in oakland
another gun smokin’
another innocent body
another family broken
and i ain’t jokin’, i’ll take you to new orleans
it’s gettin’ crazy, yo, what’s happenin’ this time?
they put slugs in your back, mr. chris grimes
who pays for this crime?
really, what’s happenin’?
liars with the power to fire call it an accident
what?!
c’mon, sing it

[chorus]
i shot the sheriff
yeah, i shot him
but i didn’t shoot the deputy
you know the song, you know the song sing along, come on
i shot the sheriff
yeah, i shot him
but i swear it was in self defense
i guess he had it comin’
yeah, yo, i guess he had it comin’

[verse 3]
said who protects us from you now
who protects us from you?
who protects us from you?
who protects us from you?
