South-central L.A.
Yo' babies see me kill a fool on TV
Penitentiary, I hear you calling me
I swear every other hood is the shadiest
Penitentiary, I hear you calling me
Plus we got a black mayor, I get sex when I shows flex
Just because you gotta stay, you ain't gotta rot away
As the world turns, it burns while it's spinning
Penitentiary, I hear you calling me
Mix a lot, got hoes puttin' titties on the glass
Motherfuck you and not the courtman, no corrections
Coming to a fucked-up ending
We gon' come and get you one day
Could the crips and bloods be all rotten
Thinkin' of illegal ways to get paid
And rap about this shit over funkadelic samples
My world is a one-mile radius
Slave ships in the middle of nowhere
Coming at me with a fucked-up deal
Bellin' in court, lookin' like a scarecrow
But it ain't shit, got to be legit
But it ain't shit, got to be legit
And straight call me a G
The judge gave me a 'L' but y'all can't tell
Penitentiary, I hear you calling me
Just because you gotta stay, you ain't gotta rot away
Fuck the ozone layer, bitch I'm a playa
Calling you a hoe 'cos I'm fucking on the first day
Some niggaz gettin' nuts outta carafel cups
You can buy your game from the C.I.A. baby
You can buy your game from the C.I.A., hey-hey
We gon' come and get you one day
But it ain't shit, got to be legit
How can you relate to a project tenant?
We blast in the west for example
But won't even think about, sucking Bob Doe
I wait and cry in my cell
I can't wait till the day everything in the hood is straight
When the evil outweighs the good
Speaker at our house takin' lyrics in my mouth
Nobs injecting ourselves to become property on the stock
Until then, the pen is unfair
South-central L.A.
What you gonna do when the earth erupts?
You can buy your game from the C.I.A., hey-hey
We gon' come and get you one day
The Earth will self-destruct
Penitentiary, I hear you calling me
Penitentiary, I hear you calling me
On Capitol Hill, they them passed a bill
Penitentiary, I hear you calling me
When the trilateral commission is plottin'?
Thinkin' of illegal ways to get paid
Penitentiary, I hear you calling me
We gon' come and get you one day
Penitentiary, I hear you calling me
Bitches in the south showin' ass
Penitentiary, I hear you calling me
And I can hit the purty gates
I lets my goddamn hair grow
Penitentiary, I hear you calling me
Thinkin' of illegal ways to get paid
But it ain't shit, got to be legit
Tryina' get a section of this west-side connection
Convicted Negro, superhero
Just because you gotta stay, you ain't gotta rot away
And South-central L.A.
Would you like a piece of me? Not a mate
Porbey Rolex, which hoe is next?
Just because you gotta stay, you ain't gotta rot away
You can buy your game from the C.I.A. baby
In the penal system, in the justice system
Thinkin' of illegal ways to get paid
Fool you on master's woe
Penitentiary, I hear you calling me
And you only give a fuck about rucks
Asshole from the Senate
And South-central L.A.
