Attention all ni**a rows and ni**a hoes
We`ve decided to rob this motherf**ker 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 f**ked-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 f**ked-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 s**t 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 s**t, 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 s**t, got to be legit

When the evil outweighs the good
And you only give a f**k about rucks
The Earth will self-destruct
F**k 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 f**king 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 ni**az 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?
Motherf**k 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 s**t, 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 s**t, 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

Penitentiary
