Penitentiary

"Attention all nigga row's and nigga hoe's

We've decided to rob this motherfucker the legal way

Not subjecting ourselves to become properly owned stock

In the penal system. In the justice system"

Penitentiary, I hear you calling me

As the world turns, it burns while it's spinning

Coming to a fucked-up ending

I can't wait till the day everything in the hood is straight

And I can hit the pearly gates

Until then, the pen is unfair

Slave ships in the middle of nowhere (mama)

I lets my goddamn hair grow (mama)

Bellin' in court, lookin' like a scarecrow

On Capital Hill, they done passed a bill

Coming at me with a fucked-up deal (what)

The judge gave me a 'L'

But y'all can't tell

I wait and cry in my cell

Convicted negro, superhero

Speaker of the house

Hate the lyrics in my mouth

Bitches in the south showin' ass (mmm)

Mix-a-Lot, got hoes puttin titties on the glass

We blast in the west for example

And rap about this shit over funkadelic samples

Yo' babies see me kill a fool on TV (West side!)

And straight call me a G

(Hook 1)

Penitentiary, I hear you calling me

Penitentiary, I hear you calling me

Thinkin' of illegal ways to get paid

But it ain't shit, got to be legit

(Hook 2)

In South-central L.A

You can buy your game from the C.I.A., hey-hey

In South-central L.A

You can buy your game from the C.I.A. baby

(Hook 1)

When the evil outweighs the good

And you only give a fuck about the bucks

The Earth will self-destruct (bitch!)

Fuck the ozone layer, bitch I'm a playa (bitch!)

Plus we got a black mayor

I get sex when I show flex (Booom!)

Port Bay Rolex (Booom!)

Which ho is next?

Treat you like a piece of meat, not a mate

Calling you a ho 'cos I'm fucking on the first date

My world is a one-mile radius

I swear every other hood is the shadiest

Could the Crips and Bloods be all rotten

When the trilateral commission is plottin'?

What you gonna do when the Earth erupts?

Some niggas gettin' nuts outa styrofoam cups (punk)

Fool you want monster swoll

But won't even think about, socking Bob Dole (punk)

Asshole from the Senate

How can you relate to a project tennant?

Motherfuck you and the Department of Corrections

Tryina' get a section of this west-side connection

(Hook 1)

(Hook 2)

Just because you gotta stay

You ain't gotta rot away

We gon' come and get you one day

(Repeat until fade)
