Penitentiary

Ice Cube

Attention all nigga rows and nigga hoes
We've decided to rob this motherfucker the legal way
Nobs injecting ourselves to become property on the stock
In the penal system, in the justice systemPenitentiary, I hear you calling me
Penitentiary, I hear you calling me
Penitentiary, I hear you calling me
Penitentiary, I hear you calling meAs 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 purty gatesUntil then, the pen is unfair
Slave ships in the middle of nowhere
I lets my goddamn hair grow
Bellin' in court, lookin' like a scarecrowOn Capitol Hill, they them passed a bill
Coming at me with a fucked-up deal
The judge gave me a 'L' but y'all can't tell
I wait and cry in my cellConvicted Negro, superhero
Speaker at our house takin' lyrics in my mouth
Bitches in the south showin' ass
Mix a lot, got hoes puttin' titties on the glassWe blast in the west for example
And rap about this shit over funkadelic samples
Yo' babies see me kill a fool on TV
And straight call me a GPenitentiary, 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 legitSouth-central L.A.
You can buy your game from the C.I.A., hey-hey
And South-central L.A.
You can buy your game from the C.I.A. babyPenitentiary, 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 legitWhen the evil outweighs the good
And you only give a fuck about rucks
The Earth will self-destruct
Fuck the ozone layer, bitch I'm a playaPlus we got a black mayor, I get sex when I shows flex
Porbey Rolex, which hoe is next?
Would you like a piece of me? Not a mate
Calling you a hoe 'cos I'm fucking on the first dayMy 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 niggaz gettin' nuts outta carafel cups
Fool you on master's woe
But won't even think about, sucking Bob DoeAsshole from the Senate
How can you relate to a project tenant?
Motherfuck you and not the courtman, no corrections
Tryina' get a section of this west-side connectionPenitentiary, 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 legitPenitentiary, 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 legitSouth-central L.A.
You can buy your game from the C.I.A., hey-hey
And South-central L.A.
You can buy your game from the C.I.A. babyJust because you gotta stay, you ain't gotta rot away
We gon' come and get you one day
Just because you gotta stay, you ain't gotta rot away
We gon' come and get you one dayJust because you gotta stay, you ain't gotta rot away
We gon' come and get you one day
Just because you gotta stay, you ain't gotta rot away
We gon' come and get you one dayPenitentiary
