    The song "I Shot the Sheriff" by Bob Marley tells the story of shooting the sheriff in self defense. In the first verse, the singer admits to shooting the sheriff but denies shooting the deputy. He is wanted for killing a deputy, but claims it was done in self defense after the sheriff always hated him and tried to kill his crops. In the final verse, the sheriff suddenly appears to shoot the singer, so the singer shoots and kills the sheriff to defend himself. The singer maintains that if found guilty, he will pay the price for his actions.
