[Verse 1]
[Em]"Attention all nigga rows and
nigga hoes
We've decided to rob this
[Bm]motherfucker the [Em]leg al way
Nobs injecting ourselves to
become property on the stock
[Bm]In the penal syste[Em]m.
In the justice system"

[Verse 2]
[Em]Penitentiary I hear you [Bm]calling me
[Em]Penitentiary I hear you call[G]ing me
[Em]Penitentiary I hear you calling me
Penitentiary I hear you calling me

[Verse 3]
As the world [Em]turns it [Bm]burns
while [Em]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
[Bm]Until then, the pen [Em]is unfair
Slave ships in the middle
of nowhere (ma)
I lets my goddamn hair grow (ma)
Bellin' in [C]court, [Em]lookin' like a scarecrow
On Capital [Bm]Hill,
they them [Em]passed a bill
Coming [C]at me with a [Em]fucked-
up deal (nah)
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 [C]house
Takin' [Em]lyrics in my mouth
Bitches in the south
showin' [Bm]ass [Em](mm)
Mix a [C]lot, got [Em]hoes puttin'
titties on the glass
We blast in the [Bm]west for example
[Em]And rap about this[C] shit over[Em]
funkadelic samples
Yo' babies see me kill a fool
on TV (Wilson!)
And straight [C]call me a [Em]G

[Verse 4]
[Chorus] Penitentiary,
[Em]
[Bm]I hear you calling me
[Em]Penitentiary, I hear you calling me
Thinkin' of illegal ways to get paid
But it ain't [C]shit, got to [Em]be legit

[Verse 5]
[Bridge] [Em]South-
central L.A.
[Bm]You can buy your [Em]game from the C.I.A.,
hey- hey
And South- central [Bm]L.A.
You can buy your [Em]game from [C]the C.I.A. [G]baby

[Verse 6]
[C]
[G]
[Em]When the evil outweighs the good
And you only give a fuck about rucks
The Earth will self- destruct (Bitch)
Fuck the ozone [Bm]layer,
[Em]bitch I'm a [C]player [Em](Bitch)
Plus we got a black mayor
I get sex when I shows flex
(Boom!)
Porbey Rolex (Boom!)
Which hoe is next? (Boom!)
Would you like a [Bm]piece
of me? Not a [Em]mate
Calling you a hoe 'cause I'm fucking
on the first day (uh)
My world is a [Bm]one- mile [Em]radius
I swear [C]every other [G]hood is the
[Em]shadiest (uh)
Could the crips and blood
[Bm]s be all rot[Em]ten
[C]When the trilateral com
[G]mission is [Em]plottin'?
What you gonna do when
the Earth erupts?
Some [C]niggas gettin' nuts [Em]outa
carafel cups (punk)
Fool you on master's woe
But won't even [C]think about,
[Em]sucking Bob Doe (punk)
Asshole from the Senate
How can [C]you relate to a
[Em]project tennant?
Motherfuck you and not the court
man, no corrections
