Penitentiary Lyrics - War And Peace Vol. 1 (war) - 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 system 

Penitentiary, I hear you calling me 

Penitentiary, I hear you calling me 

Penitentiary, I hear you calling me 

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 purty gates 

Until then, the pen is unfair 

Slave ships in the middle of nowhere 

I lets my goddamn hair grow 

Bellin' in court, lookin' like a scarecrow

On 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 cell 

Convicted 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 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 

And straight call me a G 

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

South-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. baby 

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 

When 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 playa 

Plus 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 day 

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 niggaz gettin' nuts outta carafel cups 

Fool you on master's woe 

But won't even think about, sucking Bob Doe 

Asshole 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 connection 

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 

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 

South-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. baby 

Just 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 day 

Just 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 day
