I Shot the Sheriff

Set all around in my home town
People they try to track me down
For a crime that I did not commit
I said, for the murder of a deputy
For the life of a deputy
But I said

That I shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot no deputy
I said, "I shot the sheriff"
But I, swear it was in self-defense

Sheriff John Brown always hated me
For what, I just don't know
Whenever I would start the plan
To plant a seed, did he did said
That he did said that
He said kill the seed before it grow
He would said
To kill the seed before it grow
But I said

That I shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot no deputy
I shot the sheriff
But I, swear it was in self-defense

Romain Axisa, ladies and gentlemen
In this world of calamity
Dirty looks and grudges and jealousy
Media clowns, they abuse dem authority
Media clowns, they know nothing 'bout variety
Boom

The youngest veteran a go murder them slow
And must have coulda big like
Bam Bam Bigelow
And a bust of trigger finger like
Bam Bam trigger toe
And a bust of trigger finger, get low

I got to keep it burning
On the road to Zion
I got to keep it moving
On the road to Zion
