General Penitentiary Lyrics


General, general, general penitentiary, general penitentiary
General, general, general penitentiary, general penitentiaryDown in the dump cell, where I can't take no smell
It's like a oven baking for 2 thousand years
When the morning comes, I & I would run to get some tea
Here comes the boss with his baton
Say dreadlocks you don't come here
To drink pea soup and fatten ooh ohGeneral, general, general penitentiary, general penitentiary
General, general, general penitentiary, general penitentiary
As time and time go by
It's the set for the same everyday
So if you can't do the time don't bother with no crime
Cause the food that you take to save your life can let you lose it the sameGeneral, general, general penitentiary, general penitentiary
General, general, general penitentiary, general penitentiary
It's a warehouse of human slavery
And it doesn't help for a person who need a weekly salary
So if your eyes can't be fulfilled and satisfied
A lot more to come and see those chastised mmmmmm yeahGeneral, general, general penitentiary, general penitentiary
General, general, general penitentiary, general penitentiary

Black Uhuru is a Jamaican reggae band probably best known for their hits "Shine Eye Gal", "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," "Sinsemilla," "Solidarity," and "What Is Life?". They were the first group to win a Grammy in the reggae category when it was introduced in 1985. They originally formed as 'Black Sounds Uhuru' (the Kiswahili word for freedom). The first line-up of the group was Garth Dennis, Don Carlos, and Derrick "Duckie" Simpson.
