Artist/Band: Ice Cube
Lyrics for Song: Penitentiary
Lyrics for Album: War & Peace Vol.1 (The War Disc)



"attention all nigga rows and nigga hoes
WeÂ’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 (x4)

[verse 1]
As the world turns, it burns while itÂ’s spinning
Coming to a fucked-up ending
I canÂ’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 (ma)
I lets my goddamn hair grow (ma)
BellinÂ’ in court, lookinÂ’ like a scarecrow
On capital hill, they them passed a bill
Coming at me with a fucked-up deal (nah)
The judge gave me a Â’lÂ’
But yÂ’all canÂ’t tell
I wait and cry in my cell
Convicted negro, superhero
Speaker at our house
TakinÂ’ lyrics in my mouth
Bitches in the south showinÂ’ ass (mm)
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
YoÂ’ babies see me kill a fool on tv (wilson!)
And straight call me a g

[chorus]
Penitentiary, I hear you calling me
Penitentiary, I hear you calling me
ThinkinÂ’ of illegal ways to get paid
But it ainÂ’t shit, got to be legit

[bridge]
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

[verse 2]
When the evil outweighs the good
And you only give a fuck about rucks
The earth will self-destruct (bitch)
Fuck the ozone layer, bitch IÂ’m a playa (bitch)
Plus we got a black mayor
I get sex when I shows flex (booom!)
Porbey rolex (booom!)
Which hoe is next? (booom!)
Would you like a piece of me? not a mate
Calling you a hoe Â’cos IÂ’m fucking on the first day (uh)
My world is a one-mile radius
I swear every other hood is the shadiest (uh)
Could the crips and bloods be all rotten
When the trilateral commission is plottinÂ’?
What you gonna do when the earth erupts?
Some niggaz gettinÂ’ nuts outa carafel cups (punk)
Fool you on masterÂ’s woe
But wonÂ’t even think about, sucking bob doe (punk)
Asshole from the senate
How can you relate to a project tennant?
Motherfuck you and not the courtman, no corrections
TryinaÂ’ get a section of this west-side connection

(chorus) (x2)
(bridge)

Just because you gotta stay
You ainÂ’t gotta rot away
We gonÂ’ come and get you one day
(repeat until fade)
