Send "Penitentiary Blues" ringtone to your cell

Here's my philosophy

Livin' in a penitentiary

Brothers all on the corner

Tryin' to make believe

Turn around ain't got no pot to pee

Make me mad when I see ya sad

Can't stand to see ya hustle doin bad

But you can't win when your will is weak

When you're knocked on the ground

Evil, don't you test me

Evil, you won't win

Oh why world

Why world

Do want me to be so mad yeah

So mad yeah

Oh why world

Why world

Do you want me to be so mad yeah

So mad yeah

I'm tellin' you the truth

I hope I'm not being too cruel

Since you ain't playing by the rules

I'm 'bout to kick you off your stool

Evil, don't you test me

Evil, you won't win

Oh why world

Why world

Do want me to be so mad yeah

So mad yeah

Oh why world

Why world

Do you want me to be so mad yeah

Say why

I am a warrior princess

I have come from the other sun

Gather all of your members

Unite them as one

Move together in harmony

Build a bridge

Now destroy a bridge

Eliminate your weakness

Conquer evil, the demon

And live forever together

Oh why can't we get along and

Take all the funky tones

And make up a funky song

That be bangin on and on

Make me mad when I see ya sad

With the same look ya momma had

But ya can't win when your will is weak

But ya get out ya seat

Oh why Why Why world

Do you want me to be so mad

So mad yeah

Why in the world

Why world do you want me to be so mad yeah

So mad yeah

Why in the world

Why world do you want me to be so mad yeah

So mad yeah

Why in the world

Why world do you want me to be so mad yeah

So mad yeah

Why make me, make me, make me, make me, make me so mad

Why yeah, why yeah, why yeah

Why yeah...
